IT IS RICH
Another Tanans Greek Turns
 Out. Big

Kokomo creek is one of the richest streams in the Panama district. Late development work on that creek has shown it to be almost or quite as rich as Cleary which has cen the largest pro- ducer ID the great American placer dis tr!ct.
 Fred West, who is accompanying Ben Downing from the interior to the sound, says there is no doubt about the richness of Kokomo. God has been discovered there in great quantities and it will be regularly worked next year,
 Kokomo creek Is a tributary of Chat aneeka and parallels Cleary, a tributary Of the same creek.
 MT. West says there have been many gold discoveries made in the Tabana valley this winter. Among others, one in the neighborhood of Mount McKin- ley where good pay has been located on Alder and Vault creeks, has attrac- ted a great deal of attention. Gravel is running 9 cents to the pan on the surface on these creeks. Hundreds of men stampeded to these creeks which are about 80 miles from Fairbanks.

ALAsKAN COLD DEVELOPMENT

The work of prospecting the great interior of Alaska for gold has just be- gun. Until the last season 1t was not possible to prosecute the work under conditions that were favorable to sue cess sxcep, on the banks ot the largest streams. The thing lacking on the American side of the boundary line has been a center from which to work. That has been supplied by the dtscov- cry of gold in such quantities among ths pe. work of Panama creeks that the city of Fairbanks has resulted. There men can secure supplies and there they can secure work with which to buy sup piles to use in the weeks and months that are required in which to sink the holes thst are necessary to prospect creeks upon which good indications have been discovered and to seek out other creeks to prospect.
 Itis said there are 2OOO prospectors working at the present time with Fair banks as a base of supplies. The good this army of hardy, experienced and de- tsrminsd men can and will do for Alas kA and the country generally is ineal- eulable. And their number will in- crease as the months and years pass With the development of prospects into producing mines new opportunities will be offered for proSpectors to secure grub stakes with which to pursue their Avocation iu ' newer fields
 Each paying placer mine is an incu- ba,or for Ospec,ors, The ics,inct which impals an employe to become an employer ansiorms the wage worFer In shaft O. drift into prOspector for a mine in wlich wage working men will make hiL- wealthy. Other Fairbankses and Dawsous will be established which Iu their turn will send out o,her armies to prospect for and discover gold as those which have gone before have prospected and discovered.
 All this leads to one conclu,ion. The millions in gold, the red life Elood oi the commercial world, which Alaska has contributed and is now eontribut' ing to ihe arteries of trade and com merce is but a foretaSte of what it Is yet to give. The day fs not long away when the golden stream that is flowing from the north into the emporiums al d industrial centers of the Union 10 the south will amount to more than hun- dred millions annually For many de- cades it will flow on, and will serve to iniuse new vigor inro the life of the ua- tlon. It will pay debts, build factories, railroads and irrigation ditches. It will create all the myrsid of things that are incident to our civilization. It will employ labor and make useless hosPit- AlS, insane ssylums and aims houses, At It's source it will provide happy and prosperous homes for increasing hun dreds of thousands of the best people of the nation, thus relieving the tension ln those places where it is near the breaking point II will be a blessing to those who discover it and wrest it from the vaults of nature, and it will likewise bless those whom it Overflows In ita eo,,rse

American goods in China is unlimited
The Chinese need the goods manufac,

them it is necessary that the manufac-

have met the demand for cheap cotton
goods. but there is no reason. the con
sui says, why the goods should not
come direct from the United States if
similar line at a similar price is sent
out. Hangchow imported 100000
worth Of cotton goods last year and
the district four times that amount.
while cotton goods comprise 10 per
cent Of the total imports Of the en-
pire. There is only one cotton mill in
southern China, comparatively mod
