 THE MINERS
Fairbanks Company WiII Put Mills on Creeks Where
 Pay Promises

Fairbanks business men have organized a company and incor- pOrated under the title Custom Mill company, to erect stamp mills in any section where miners are showing up promising pros poets. It. is believed the placing of the mills where the miners can have their ores treated with small transportation charges will give quartz development a won derful impetus. The Times says:
 Mr. w. B. Vandcrlip. the min ing engineer. has been selected by several nf the business men of Fairbanks to organize and man age the Custom Mill company. It.. will bc known as the Fairbanks Mining X Reduction company. The object of the company will Dc |" erect and maintain mills on Skongry. Fairbanks. Clrary, and later on. Ester and other creeks, where the necessity aris- cS.
 Batteries of five. heavy duty, l,200 pound stamps of a stand ard make will br purchased. Mir. \andcrlip is now working out the details of the organization and will announce the project witl, full particulars tomorrow. The idea IS being discussed and re- criNrd by "vrryhOdy with great favor, as even the most rnnSrry- alive recognize il as ihr one and only thing ln do tu open up the prospects. The quartz men are especially iubiIant. Mr. Vandrr- lIp states that with organized ac- lion and team work !lr will have tn" stamps pounding by August iSi
