CRACK OOG TEAM WINS
CLAIM IN A KEEN RACE
Two Men Gain Possession of Rich
Placer in Alaska After EX-
citing Contest.

Seattle, Wash, March. 25.-By
winning a closely contested race
through an Alaskan wilderness, VIII
liam MeManus and Albert Esak, two
Seattle men who have been pros
pecting in the north, have come into
possession of long reach of placer
ground in the Sustina, Alaska, dis
trict, which they are confident VIII
make both of them independently
wealthy
The two partners now are here,
having returned from a trip to their
property to complete arrangements
for the installation upon it of great
dredging plant with which they
hope to begin taking out their treas
ure late next summer
McManus and Esak are indebted
for whatever riches the mine may
mean for them to the speed and en-
durance of splendid dog team that
carried them in record-breaking time
over the long stretch of country be-
tween the Alaska coast line and the
bonanzas.
The claims which the two part
ners and their associates located are
in what is known as the Grubstake
Gulch, on the Chulitha river. which
is a branch of the Sustina.
The mine will be unique among
Alaska place properties because of
its accessibility. Steamships from
Seattle can deliver shipments to riv-
er steamboats, at the mouth of the
Susitna, and it is only a short and
comparatively inexpensive haul up
the Susitna and part of it's tribu-
tary, the Chulitna.s to the property.
This means a low cost of develop
ment.

The Jury Returns onpnim>us Neruic'

BY Special Coz respondent
jury consisting OF Soma Of the
| most distinguished chemists OF
America has returned an unanimous
verdict of mot guilty" in the case of
Knocker ct al. VS., Coca Cola. Vt
will be remembered that Same time
ago a report was circulated that
Coca-Cola contained Injurious ma
terials and was, therefore, harmful
in its effect upon the human body.
The rumor was originated by an
interruptions competitor of Coca
Cola, the popular temperance drink,
spread rapidly and found some
credence among those who did not
know the origin of the report.
The Jury finds that not only does
Coco-Cola contain nothing harmful
but that it is much superior to tea
and coffee in that it is free from
fannie acid and. therefore, promotes
digestion instead of rctarding it,
Each of the distinguished chemists
reported that he had made careful
chemical analysis of Coca Cola and
found it to contain no dope of
any kind If you would like to see
