With sad hearts and bowed heads, we
stood beside the grave Of our lifelong
friend. Hanson H. Haines, and saw his
body lowered 10 its last resting place in
'Brookview Cemetery, there TO remain
until the morning OF the resurrection.
With submission ID the will Of a just
God. we cannot but regret the taking Of
this useful man from our midst, at a time,
after his long years Of hard labor in our
community. when he could enjoy his ac-
cumulation.
Mr.. Haines was President of the Board
Of Directors of Brookview Cemetery Com.
pany from its first organization TO the
time of his death. and the Success Of this
cemetery was due largely TO his advice,
and untiring energy, and il IS fitting
tribute to his memory that this Board Of
Directors tender their expression Of love
and appreciation Of his valuable service.
Not alone will this association feel his
demise, bur the community in which he
lived has lost high-minded and honor
able citizen.
We extend 70 his bereaved family our
deepest sympathy, and trust that God
will comfort them in their loss.
We also ask that copy Of this me-
mortal be sent to Mrs. Haines and family,

OREOGER GROUND
 SOUGHT AFTER
Representatives of Big Dredging Companies Securing Alaska for
 Unfrozen Ground

Because of the vast area of fro zen ground in the Tanana basin, outside capitalists have been in duced to invest in dredging propo- sitions in other parts of Alaska, according to c. T. Nicholson.
 MT. Nicholson expects to re- main in the Iditarod for a week or ten days, and he plans 10 go out to the creeks to make an inspec- ,tion of the district at large. From the Iditarod he expects to go to Nome, where he will prospect a few properties upon which il is likely that dredges will be placeed Nicholson is connected with the Yuba Construction Co. and the Bucyrus Co.,, which manufactures most of the machinery used ir dredgcs. The visitor is in the op- erating department of the con pany and looks after the install lation of the gold diggers. The trip through the north is for the purpose of obtaining an idea o1 the region, as we'll as to do some missionary work for the firms. According to Nicholson, Charle' Janin, one of the most prominent mining engineers and placer ex- perts in the states, left San Fran. cisco on June i for Alaska for thu purpose of exporting severa properties. Other placer men ar, also invading the north, so it i: very probable, says Nicholson that the future of the inferior lie: in dredging.

WILLOW CREEK
 FORGING AHEAD
Power Plant to be Installed in a Promising Camp-Important Discoveries Made

Word reaches Seward that q very rich vein has been encoun- tered on the gold quartz property of the Brooklyn Development company, in the Willow creek dis trict. The work is now being done at a point 600 feet further down the mountain than the former workings, and Bert Stewart, one of the best miners of that sec ton, has charge. The vein is three feet in width and carries high values.
 Ira IsaacS has recently made a very important discovery in the Willow creek camp. His vein can be traced by the outcrOp for a distance of 2,i00 feet, and pan nings taken al intervals reveal the presence of gold.
 William Bartholf, superintend- ent of the Gold Bullion Mining company, is in town, and will de- part on the Sampson, en route to the states. He goes to look into the matter of installing a big pow CT system in the Willow creek dis trict, from which all mines may be supplied. Under prevailing conditions it is possible to work only few months in the year, as water power is used. The future of the camp is now assured, and Inc time has arrived, in the opin- :on of Mir. Bartholf, when the mines should be opcrale ed throughout the year.
 The Gold Bullion company is operating seven stamps, and has extracted. since starting this sea son, ncar'y SiO,O00. The devcl- opment work on this property, as well as that on the Alaska Gold Quartz, the Alaska Free Gold, and other properties, all of which are strong, rich mines, justifles the owners to prepare for more ex- tcnsive operations. Mir. Bartholf is very constructive mining man, not given to "peddling" and declares that the Willow creek gold camp is one of great prom ise.-SewaCd Gateway.

WE MIGHT HELP
 OUR NE|GHB0R
Lack of Rain on Seward Peninsu- la Causes Much ldleness and
 Affects Business

Continued dry weather is hav- ing demoralizing effect upon mines in this district, and the bright outlook of the early spring is fast disappearing in a cloud of disappointment. Only those out fits which receive their water sup ply from the big ditches are able 10 work, and even these opera tiOns have been reduced to inter- mittcnt runs. Tn many cases sluicing is out of the question, as the creeks have run completely dry. and large plants are idle all over the district.
 The town is full of idle men and everywhere on the creeks the outlook is most discouraging.
 To what extent the continued drought has retarded operations may be calculated from the man. ner in which the large cOmpan- ies are retrenching. For instance the Pioneer Mining company which a year ago had 400 men or it's payroll, now employees but 48 and unless rain comes pretty sOor even this small number will bt further decreased.

CREWS WORKING
 GOVERNMENTRoAD
Continuance of the Work De- pends Upon Congressional
 Appropriation

About 900 men in nine crews are now working for the road commission on the Valdez Fair banks road this side of the Delta The crews from the Delta to Fair banks are directed from the Tan ana end.
 The nine crews mentioned are engaged at present as follows Websters, between WOrtmans and the summit; Olson's, near Beaver Dam and Tiekhell; EllingsOn's, between Ernestine and TOnsina Naud'S. near Willow creek; Wal 'er's and Cameron on the Will low Creek -Chitina rutOf; Derig's, near PaxsOn's; Hollands, at Jar wis creek. McDonald's, north of McCallum's.
 Continuance of tho work after ihis month depends upon con- grcssional appropriation. So far the work has been done on the portion of the license taxes of Alaska which are turned into the road fund. If the army apprO- priation bill fails of passage, car rying with it the Alaska road item, work will shut down soon for lack of funds.

HOME MADE MILL
 DOES GOOD WORK
A Stamp Mill Made in Fairbanks Pays Running Expenses Of
 Mine Development

With the tbree 500-pOund stamps in the little mill on the Reliance cOmpany's property at the head of Dome creek dropping steadily, the property is in a fair way to make a name for itself as producer, according to Ray Brumbaugh, who returned from a trip therc few days ago. The cleanups made have been very satisfactory tn all concerned. The last cleanup, made after a five day run had been completed, showed $500 worth of gold. The ore will average S92 to the ton, very remarkable showing, con sidering that the property is still much of a prospect. although a great deal of ore has been opened up.
 The three-stamp mill now on the claim was made in the shops of Brumbaugh & Hamilton and was first placed in commission in the early part of the spring. It has been working satisfactorily, although the amount of ore that can be crushed each day is lim- ited to two tons. At this rate, the mill manages to pay the expenses of the mine, as we'll as give a good idea of what the values are in the ore body. There is sufficient wa
 CT on tn" property to permit of continuous operation, although pumping has to be resorfed to.
 The S92 ore is coming from the lower workings, where a rich pay shoot was encountered last fall. \ mill run made al that time showed values running over Si00 [" inc ton. while the first run IhiS season through the three stamp mill on the claim showed an average value of S95 to the ton.

GOOD MONEY 0N

Ed. Owens Takes Out 600 Ounces In Twelve Days With
 Four Mon

According to Lerwell, an arriv- al from the Salchaket, who was in town recently, Ed. Owens is making good money on his claim on Caribou creek, a tributary to the Salcha river. The report has it that the veteran prospector cleaned up GOO ounces of dust from the work of four men for i2 days This is considered re- markably good ground by Owens.
 Owens located the pay on the claim in the carly part of the winter by sinking number uf holes. The pay is on , below, Caribou, in frozen ground. Furth- CT up the creek, money has been found before under like conditions land it was not believed there was any more on the creek until Ow- ems struck it.
 Owens has been employing number of men ever since he left here carly in the summer with his supplies. w. r. MunsOn. of the Salchakct ruadhouse, is part owner in the claim.-Fairbank Times.

A rumor has been prevalent OH the streets that there would be a raise in the price of coal shortly This is denied by the dock people, who, however, say that there is a threatened strike at the NanaimC and Ladysmith mines, which, if il comes to pass, will naturally raise the price of fuel at the mines. There will be no raise in freight rates to southwestern Alaska points, but the price of passage may be elevated five dollars dur ing the winter months when travel is light.
