CAPITAL WOMEN
TO WAR UPON RATS
Surgeon General Blue and Dr..
Rucker Join Forces to Clean
Up Center Market.

Heavy fire was opened on the rats
Of Center Market ~-at the weekly
meeting of the District branch OF
the National Civic Federation today.
and the help of Surgeon General Ru-
pert Blue and his assistants, DR.. w.
C. Rucker, of the Public Health Sery-
Ice, was enlisted in the fight.
Led by Mrs. Archibald Hopkins. the
women intend to begin a vigorous
crusade among the market men, and
those who did not aid in the work
of rat proofing" are likely to find
themselves under the weight of some-
thing approaching a boycott" X the
plans informally outlined today are
put into effect.
I'VE cannot expect the market deal
ers to undertake improvements which
will cost them more money than they
can afford" said Mrs. Hopkins. but
at least we can insist upon the es-
tablishment of some simple, sanitary
and preventive measures. We can
not be regarded as pryfng into other
peoples business. for the rat Ques-
ton is a civic question, and enters
into our daily lives and our health" !"
At the next meeting Of the civic
federation Warden whitaker of the
Occoquan jail will tell Of conditions
among the prisoners there and the
need of an inebrfate asylum for
Washington. Prefacing the lecture.

 "The distance this way is shorter than if the strike had been made on tributary of Caribou creek which flows into the Mat anuska river The strike is on the other tide of the divide and is more properly in the Tazlina country, as the Nelchina flows into that river There is also a short cut from Valdez across the glacier 28 miles long, but this is a hard trip.

kBS WlTeleSS lO me fIonctlj
 Seward, Nov IA stampede of con siderable proportions is now on from all the coast towns of Alaska to Nelchina, and much credence is given the extremely good reports from that section
 New Strike in Tazina River Basin"
 From the Cordova Alaskan of September 23, received by the last mail, the following article furnishes a tolerable idea of the To- cation of the reported new diggings, al though 1t is silent as to the extent and value of the find
 a. L. Denny came over from the west ward on the steamer Northwestern. For five years past he has been prospecting in the Sustna country, and is now contem- plating a trip from Cordova into either the Chisana or the newly discovered diggings in the Nelchna district. While at Knik he met Mccormack and Joe Palmer who had just come from the new strike.
 "Mr Denny says that the strike was not made on a tributary of Caribou creek, but that it was few miles beyonod and across the divide, on tributary of the Nelchlna river, and near its headwaters. The first rich dirt was taken out by Duncan Me Cormack, who went into that country last winter Three years ago a small crowd of Valdez men had run cut on this same claim, but before reaching bedrock they struck frost and abandoned their work. This summer Mccormack continued on the same cut and on reaching" bedrock struck good pay
 Joe Palmer, Ed Miller, Oleson and Getchell and several others soon made good locations and took out good pay, A large number of others have since gone from the knik country. He states that G. C. Martin of the Geological Survey, whose re port was published last year on the geol- ogy and coal fields of the lower Matanuska valley, has been in the country where the new find has been made ths summer, and IS still there. He is quoted as saying that it looks good to him, and further expresses the opinion that there is a large area of placer ground that has great possibilities
 MT. Denny states that from the conver- sation of returning miners he gleaned that the rich ground is seven miles above tim Der line, about 12 feet deep leading into the benches That it looked like under ground workings, as the glacial matter was not frozen, but that the underwash carry ing the pay was frozen. He says that con siderable work had been done in previous years on various tributaries of Caribou creek, without much success, but that the work in the country across the divide indi- cates rich ground.
 "In the opinion of Mr. Denny it is i'm practicable to even think of going to the new district from the westward during the winter season. He talked with the hotel man and owner of the large store at knik and they admitted that the only feasible way of getting into the country during the frozen season was from Valdez or Cordova. The easiest route is considered via Chitina over the government road to the mouth of the Tazlina river, at Copper Center, dis tance of 50 miles, then to follow the Tag lima A distance of 52 miles to the mouth
