Growing Old

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble. 1t does not mean weakness or
feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. 1t is of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assimilate food which is the sole source
OF physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food.

TRE GREAT
 OPHER GREEK
The Richest in the Entire Seward Peninsula, According to Dr.
 Whitehead's Opinion.

"Ophir creek is the greatest creek on Seward peninsula, in my opinion," said Dr. Cabell Whitehead, the other day. Dr. Whitehead had just returned from a ten days trip about Council City dis tric,. He says: "While some claims will pay the individual miner hand somelv, the creek, as whole, will be an eXpensive one to work: the men who go about the work of mining on this creek properly, and on a large scale, will reap rich reward.
 'lt is strange, but, nevertheless, true fact, that large proportion of the creek has not, as yet, been prospected Goose people have extensive and valu- able ground, which is good for l5 years, v
 Melsing creek, according to Dr. Whitehead, $ also showing up finely, and so is Crooked, which is rich creek A lack of water has prevented work on many creeks. The water is extremely low in Fish river, snG, the transpor- tation question is serious one in the development of Council and other dis tricts. Dr. Whitehead thinks that the solution of the question would be in the building of railroad from Nome to Council. This would also afford the means of developing large stretch of mineral country along the route, which, under existing conditions, practically inaccessible. Dr. Whitehead thinks that a railroad could be built for $500, 900.
 The Wild Goose company have ties laid on the roadbed from Council to Ophir for about half the distance. and when it is completed, it will materially lessen the cost of mining supplies from Council to Ophr. Dr. Whitehead esti- mates that last winters output of Coun- cil district at S200,00O.
