FRANK E. YoUNe's
 MINE DOES WELL


 Frank E. Youngs who came to town Saturday night with the first cleanup of the season from the Renai Mining & Milling company's property on Cooper creek, returned to the mine this morning on the car.
 The first cleanup of the season was much better than was anticipated and MT. Youngs is confident that the next months work will produce more gold than sny similar period in the history of the Cooper creek property. The first cleanup is the result of piping q large amount of waste that had to be moved in order to get at the pay. This waste carried some pay, in fact enough pay to put it through the boxes and when the cleanup was ta- ken 1t was found that it had graded higher than was anticipated. From now on the plant will be working on good pay until the freeze up. Mir. Youngs hopes to be able to work well into october before being forced to close down for the season. - Seward Gateway.
