GARDEN SPOT OF
 THE N0RTHLAND
Middleton Island, a Prolific Producer of Vegetables,
 Foxes and Gold.

Far out in the waters of the Pacific ocean, south of Prince William Sound, is low, flat body of land known as Middleton Island. Middleton is seven miles long and about three miles wide,
 and is said to be the garden patch of Alaska. This isolated spot is the lone ly habitat of Middleton" Smith, the sole occupant, who is monarch of all he surveys in his little kingdom. In 1899, William Germanson, an old time prospector of the Cassiar coun- try, landed on Middleton, and discov- ering gold in the huge bluff of con-

glOmeratc which skirts the southern
 shore, he covered the entire island
 with ninety-odd placer claims. He built cabin with driftwood and cul- tivated a garden in which he grew
 potatoes, turnips, sweet peas, celery, strawberries and an endless variety of flowers, so that when Smith came ashore from q whalerin 1904, German son had no difficulty in persuading him to stay and share his domain. In the fall of 1906 Germanson came to Valdez with nearly S5, 1000 in gold dust, and having purchased ten tons of sup plies, shipped them to Neuchek where he intended to get q schooner to take the goods to Middleton. He was ta- ken sick however in Valdez and went

 Route to Valdez Creek
 The route recommended by the ma jority of the Valdez creek miners is by way of the government trail from Valdez to Gulkana, distance of 125 miles, and from Gulkana up the Gull kama livcr to the source of it's west fork, over the divide and down q trib- utary of the Susitna to the Susitna river, and from thence up the Susitna about 40 miles to Valdez creek. The distance from Gulkana to Valdez creek by the route travelled is esti-

platinum which he had mined out dur Ing the summer. While Briggs was secretive as to the exact location of the creek from which the mineral was mined, it is learned from reliable sources that he operated on creek which originates in Mt. Wrangell.
 To Prospector reporter Briggs in- timated that his discovery was high ly important one, and that he intend ed to return in the spring with facili- ties to work his ground on large scale.
 The existence of platinum in the vi- cinity of Mt. Wrangell has been known for years past, but heretofore no systematic attempt has been made to mine it.

A local pugilist of Nome got in the meshes of the law and was duly dc. posted in the city jail. The offepse was bailable and the prisoner sent a note to a friend of the German per. suasion requesting him to put up the funds necessary for the pug's release. The following answer was sent by the cautious Teutonic friend:

channel bears off from the present bed of Valdez creek, although it fol- lows the same general direction. While the fact has not been demon- stratcd, it is the consensus of opinion among the miners of the country that the old channel luns from the point of exposure on the Tammany bench to Lucky gulch, q distance of about six miles. Should this prove true, the Valdez creek diggings will be among the big producers of Alaska. In order to prove this theory, prospect shafts will have to be sunk over hundred feet in thawed ground, an expensive manifestation.

The govern ment estimates the ma. tive population of Alaska to be 21,. 900. Of these 5000 are Eskimo, who inhabit the northern and northwest ern section of the territory; 5000 are Aleuts, who live in the southwestern part of Alaska; and the remainder consist of various tribes inhabiting the interior and southeastern section.

PLATINUM FOUND
 IN THE INTERIOR

An industry which promises to be an important adjunct to the mineral resources of the Copper river basin, is the mining of platinum, mineral more valuable than gold. A prospect or named Briggs came to Valdez from the Mt. Wrangell district last fall, en route to the states. He brought with him twenty-three pounds of placer

mated at i2b miles. The government trail from Valdez to Gulkana is easily traversed, and the road Commission contemplates putting the trail in good shape from Gulkana to the diggings next season. While 1t Is not consid- cred difficult, there is much room for improvement in the way of cut-offs, bridges, etc.

Find Old Channel

After dispoejng of Discovery and Nos. and below, the Monahan par ty began to open up on No. 2 above. Here they uncovered pay ground, but as they nearod the upper end line of the claim, the paystrcak became lean- CT. It was manifest that the gold had come from bench adjoining, and prospecting was done OF this theory. The bench was covered with brush and moss, and rose from the rivor val Icy to the top distance of TO feet. It was difficult to trace the source of the gold, but after diligont search, in 1906, an old channel was found, which was exposed about 70 feet above the present. creek bed.
 A tunnel was driven into the bench claim, known as the Tammany and owned by Peter Monahan, at the point where the old channel was OK. posed. The channel Is narrow, but is

A COMPLETE FERTILIZER

Every experimental station In the
United States which has made a test
ON fertilizers Will recommend lnvnrIa-
bly complete fertilizer In place OF one
containing only one element. such as
nitrogen, phosphorus or potash. cx-
perlehce having proven that it Is not
only Improbable but wastoful 10 the
farmer TO fertllizc his land with any
thing but complete fertilizer,
IL should be remembered as n basis
FOR guidance that the maximum yield OF
any crop is determined and gaugcd by
the fertilizer element which tho sol
contains in the least quantity, In other
words soil may be rich in nitrogen and
phosphorus, but very poor in potash
The Yield Of grain or huy on that farm
will be determined by the amount ol
potash which the soil contains. In other
words. the excess amount of nitrogen
and phosphorus win not make up for
the deficiency In potash
1t Is for this reason that We recon-
mend a complete fertilizer on all av-
craGe soils in preference To fertilizer
containing ono on two OF the principal
clements
we lay great stress on humuS. as the
United States Department OF Agricul-
pre has stated repeatedly that With
out humus In the soil the same would
not respond to the use of fertilizers, no
difference In what quantity they were
applied, humus being the life Of the soil
and bearing practically the same rela-
tion to II that yeast suStains To the
bread John n, Hun OF New York
says.

The brush-eatinG instinct of the An

strnted on the Lasscn national forest
in California. where thoy are cutting
trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on tho slopes of the
mountains.
The animals. which number 1000
have beer divided into two bands, and
under tho care Of the herders arc
crazod within certain well defined
areas. so that their work may be con-
centratcd on the brush within these
limits The result Is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
in the course either by eating II up
entirely, or BY barking. as In the case
of the heavy man2anIta bushes. AT
the beginning OF the experiment there
was some doubt as 10 tho goats viii
lingness to eat the manZanita. but IL
has been found that where there Is
little else they will just as readily at
tack 1t as any other bushes.
The grazing season was 40 late this
wear on tho Basscp forest that tho goats
did not begin operations until about
the middle OF June, but since then they
have made rapid progress and the re-
suit promises TO be a success from
every point OF view. Tho trails Will

Dairy farming Keeps the soil in the
