JUDGMENT IN SHOPPING.

In the general scheme of com torrahly tiding over what may be a somewhat quiet winter there can be little doubt that the one best way Is for all to adopt a policy of unrestricted reciprocity. If each resi- dent of the camp will carefully see to II rha' every dollar he or she spends will help out some other Fair hanksan. there is little likelihood of there being any business failures before trade brieh.,us up again in Inc spring
 Use rle mail order catalogues by all means. They are excellent aids 10 quick fire these frosty mornings and they can be applied To no better use Then lay out your purchasing campaign for the winter. Of course if you are a good citizen you have already adopted a policy of patroniz- ing home industry, and have no idea of going elsewhere to supply your needs than in your home stores This is as il should be but the man or woman who really has the inter ests of the camp al heart will go still further and exercise care in the selection of the stores 10 be PatroniZed. even though in the mat ter of quality and cost they are equal

NO REASON AT ALL

The following editorial. under the head of Prospect, Prospect" ap pears in the Cordova Truth The conditions of which it speaks as ex-
 stiug in Valdez are so similar to those in Fairbanks that it is con Sidered appropos.
 "Tncro l. no reason why Cordoya cannot he as great a mining cen ter as Nal3ez. We are going through rhe same comatose sweat that Val dez did several years ago.
 Way back in 1901 We slid down he Valdez glacier 1> miles into he little village on the beautiful Valdez bay. Around Al Whites sa- loon We met many miners They nearly all told Us that there was nothing but bull quartz around there and hat a man was foolish to look for gold in such formation. The talked very learned'y and inasmuch as they wore highlaced tan boots We thought they knew what they were talking about We never thought o look al the shape of their heads, else We might now be owner of the Cliff But there were some there who thought the country was all right and kept securing around over the mountains. Chief among these was Al White. who well deserves to be remembered as the Father of Val de2" He passed a rule in his house that whoever said that the Valdez country was not a mining region had to shovel snGw on the streets or quit stopping at his saloon. He nov have valuable property on Val dez creek. and encouraged the boys in every way to keep in the hills. You can today feel the Al White Spirit in Valdez although The Grand Old Boy died several years ago
 Another man who was there at this time was Col. Maillard. He was not in town very much for he claim ed the gold and copper was not in town but out in the mountains and up the creeks He is today one of the owners of the wonderful little Cliff treasure box Then there was another fellow there they called Red" He was always telling the boys that there was gold in that country and that they should get out and hunt for it. He used to come in every month or two, get a sack of bacon and beans and go out again. We never learned his real name but he must have found some of the rich lodges that have since been discovered.
 "Cordova as a mining district is where Valdez was in 1901 It should not take her long to determine to prospect this country thoroughly for Valdez has demonstrated that the gold is here Prospect. Prospect. And soon you can cry with Valdez Eureka! Eureka,'"

QUARTZ IS ERE.

When Inc stamps commence fhe crushing of ore ar Cinema tomorrow. the dawn of q new and brighter era for the camp will have been ushered in The time for doubtue. and guess ing as 10 the expectancy of life for the camp. will have passed and il will he more ro the point 10 con sider how bes' to conserve the in rerests of rhe CITY that surely is destined 10 be built here and be come he metropolis of Interior Alaska
 While those pessimistically inclin- ed may believe such a prophecy 10 he far fetched and without reason able foundation careful consider ation of the conditions here may imbue them with little more cour- age
 Few. who have not lived ill hard rock camps, realize how much bet ter are the conditions than in the placer camps, but il is very easy to appreciate the greater stability accorded to business conditions when the danger of the mines being worked out in a couple of years. which is ever present in placer camp, is removed.
 In the extraction of given amount of gold from quartz as a general proposition. many more men are employed than would be neces- sary in a placer mine. for, apart from those actually engaged in the hard rock work. there is much work provided for the teamsters and mill men.
 In the placer workings in this camp the general custom prevailing has been that of paying for win ters work in the spring. In the quartz mines the rule will be either one or two paydays a month; and. as a rule. the men working in the mines will be good Americans. The u aIISitlI loi tlSltl. W no comes North in the summer to snipe home stake and return with it in the fall to his own country, has. since the big strike. been one of the greatest CUTS es afflicted on the camp Under the quartz regime this should be elimi- mated 10 great extent, for more experience is required of the work men in hard rock mining than is necessary in placer mining. and a man 10 have become a good quartz miner must necessarily have resid ed in one of the mining districts for some years. And, besides, work in the quartz mines will be continu- ous the year round
 With the development of quartz mines here more railroad building will he necessary Spurs must be run wherever practicable to the in dividual mines. Stamp mills will be erected al various points on the creeks, each of which will give em- ployment to number. Many teams will be employed hauling from mines remote from the railroad These teams will need feed. and an impetus will be given to local agri- culturists. And, perhaps the most important feature of all, there is
