While the single man may roll up good stake, ana have more profit to send outside for aullur- ing real estate or in schemes-to many of which prove fzzles-the married man turns in vaster share of his earnings to local trader keeping his several mouths fed. Most of the mar jed men of the Yukon distribute % per cent, or more of their disburse- ments here. Many expend all here, and the more they spend here the better for the merchant and every one at large.
 It is also best if everyone reaping a profit off the country, be he single or married spends his profits in invest lnents in Yukon, and thus help find out what there is here. The single man is great factor in the develop ment of this region. but the family man, with his urgent and heavy expenditure, and his actual settle ment in the region with all his family, deserve all the encouragement that can be given him.-Yukon World.

General Greeley Adds
 To Alaska Literature

Greelev's handbook of Alaska which is now in the Ketchikan library. is a very valuable contribution to the literature of the Northland. Such a book as Major General Greeley has produced has been long needed. It gives a comprehensive, condensed, and graphic description of the enor- nous resources. wonderful scenery and infinite possibilities of a region which is more than one-third greater than our Atlantic States extending from Main to Florida combined. It is little more than one generation since Secretary Seward secured the territory for our national domain, but within this brief lapse of time Alaska has contributed to her owners three hun- dred and thirty three millions of dol lars of wealth in furs, gold, and fish ries. The yield of products is nearly five times the price paid for Seward d'> folly" in 1868, and yet the country is only on the threshold of develop ment.
 No person is better equipped than the author by experience and travel to present the claims of Alaska to Amer ican recognition for he has made six visits to Alaska, has thrice traversed the whole Yukon Valley visiting Fairbanks and Prince William Sound tw ice and Nome three times. For considerable period he exerci ed sup, rene military command over Alaska, and under his control and supervision was built the Alaska Military Tele- graph System of 1, 800 miles of land lines, submarine cables and wireless stations. The installation of these military lines for hundreds of miles through an untraversed and subarto wilderness is one Of the greatest achievements of our american sol diers. The extent and importance of this telegraph ser, ice may be judged from the fact that the tariff on private telegrams now amount to S2o0, 00t annually, while Government telegrams represent at least. sl00, GOO in tarif value. a

GOLD CROWN A WINNER

w. G. Wilson and Tom Mcintyre came
in Monday from the Golden Crown mine
They bring the same good reports that
have been coming in thick and fast late
ly. They found the mill running to perfec-
ton with three shifts and turning out
from $500 to $l70O every "a hours.
Mr.. L. Foester, who is in active charge
of the work and big stockholder, is very
enthusiastic over the proposition, and
all who know Mr.. Foester are aware that
he is not easily excited. He has so perfect
ed the process of saving the values that
they are now getting 80 per cent of the
metal. They have amalgam weighing
102 pounds and worth from $14, 600 to
SIS, 600, which they will ship for refining.
This splendid showing is having its le-
gitimate effect upon stock, and it is creep
ing upwards at quite rapid pace. 1t is
said that $l5, 200 was offered for 5000
shares and refused Nobody talks of less
then $40 per share in the near future.
This stock is largely held by Nampa peo-
pie and if the mine becomes great camp,
as it now promises, it means pluch to
this city, and all will share in the pros
perity of the stockholders.
Manager Foester came in
Wednesday and reported new strike of
richer ore then anything previously
struck. A meeting of the stockholders
was called and the matter laid before
them. Mr. Foester stated that their new
strike is assaying from $500 to $500 per
ton, and that the new mill win not han
die that grade of ore successfully. Mr..
Foester reported that he was sacking this
high grade ore and it will be shipped to
a smelter as soon as a carload has been
mined. 1t is said the total cost of ship
ing and treating will run $45 per ton.
On this basis each car shipped will rep
resent net profit around $780,
