MAKING OR Spelling SALE
Frequently Opening Expression Used
by Clerk Determines Whether Gus
toner Purchases or Not.

In little talk to his salespeople
not long ago successful merchant
said:
One most harmful habit INDUCED
in by many salespeople is the repeat
ing of some meaningless term to any
visitor who comes to the store. We
will take an expression, for illustra-
ton, that you have all heard, Some
thing for your We hear it in the
store, in the cafe, in the cafeteria, in
the city hall. We cannot get away
from 1t. yet everybody is tired of hear
ing it.
This term with others, What do
you want? Anything for your What
is ito is that all?' Nothing more?'
Nothing else, is there? You didn't
want this, did YOU ETC., are disgust
ing to the customers. They mean
nothing and kill sales rather than
get business.
THE first thing you do or say when
approaching customer usually de-
cides whether you will be able to make
a sale or not. Every day we see pro-
spective customers who have stopped
at some counter really interested in
some line of goods, when they are ac-
costed with Something for you?' inn
mediately lose all their interest. Yes,
there is surely something they want,
but what is it? On a real hot day
it may be a cooling, refreshing drink
or what not, but then your question
did not create desire to purchase
dry goods, nor did it suggest any
wants along that line.
If craftsmanship is going to be your
profession, say something that will
bring out reply in your favor, make
some positive suggestion, give some
kind of information, give some kind
of selling talk that will be educating,
that will make your customer see the
benefits of the purchase the same as
you do"

HOW OUTPUT OF
COAL MINES INCREASED


Despite the fact that many trans
portation companies and other
consumers of power are turning to
oil as fuel the production of coal
in the United States during 1913
exceeded 100000 over any previ-
Gus year in the history of the
industry. The 1913 production was
between 565,0OO,OOO and $4,000
600 tons. The production of anthra-
cite was increased about $500, 900
tons and the balance of the increase
was from bituminous coal mines.
Owing to labor disturbances the
output of the Colorado coal mines
produced only about one-half of
their normal utput. The floods in
Ohio last spring also kept the out
put of the coal mines of that state
below normal. Prices of all grades
of coal have been slightly advanced
in all parts of the country. The
total coal production of the United
States for 1900 was 269,6S4,O00
tons.

FUEL OIL TAKING
PLACE OF COAL

Residents of the towns along the
coast of Alaska who have to depend
on the coal mines of British Column
bia for fuel are not the only ones
affected by the curtailment of the
output of the mines by the strike.
On the Pacific coast coal is now used
for household purposes only. Fuel
oil for generating steam has dis
placed coal and at present there
are only two steamship lines operat-
ing out of San Francisco which use
coal. These are in the Orient trade
and secure cheaper coal in Japan
and China. The same condition ap-
plies to Puget Sound. Even the
railroads of Oregon and Washing
ton use fuel oil almost exclusively.
The production of the petroleum
fields of California during 1918
amounted to 97,000.0O0 barrels,
which sells in San Francisco from
SO to 70 cents per barrel. This
would be equal to Pocahontas coal
at $3.50 per ton.

Grant Reed has written to Cor
doya friend under date of December
80 in which he states that the ship
ment of goods for Donald Scott and
Warren, which were sent to Shu-
shana via the Hazelet trail, had ar
rived on December 28th. There was
$500 pounds in the shipment. Four
horses were used in transporting
the goods.
The report that good pay had been
found on Powell creek was causing
excitement. The report had not
been verified when the letter was
written but the miners were known
to have been working for sometime
and had a deep hole down.
The w. P. & Y Route are very
active in the camp. They have
spent a large amount of money cut
ting and building trail, building
roadhouses, etc.
The hills are black with prospec-
tors looking up ground for New
Years day. The recorders Office
has been a busy place for the past
two weeks as the miners were look
ing up different claims to ascertain
if the ground staked had been
recorded.

DR.. E. F. Montgomery writes from
Shushana Junction that he has re-
turned to the end of the track for
another load of supplies. He was
accompanied on the trip over the
glacier by Mr.. Greenwood and an
other man. They had one horse,
double-ender with 800 pounds of
freight and made the trip from
Shushana over the glacier to Shu-
shana Junction in two days. The
first night they spent at Clark's
roadhouse and the next day were in
town. The doctor believes the party
holds the record for quick winter
travelling from the diggings to the

JUNEAU PAPERS REFLECT
PROSPERITY OF TOWN

The Juneau papers reflect the
prosperity resulting from the de-
velopment of the mines in that sec
ton and the establishment of big
payrolls. A recent copy of the
Alaska Dispatch, out of a total of
602 inches of space, carried 529
inches of advertising matter. The
Dispatch is entitled to its liberal
patronage as it stayed by the people
of Juneau during many lean years.
Every community in Alaska will
enjoy prosperity to greater degree
if the government decides to open
its resources by providing cheaper
transportation.

greater number of miners in the dis
trict than people are aware of as
more were coming up the White
river route than any other. The
miners had failed to reach the Chi

of packing their supplies and had
waited for sleighing. Fairbanks

The Nome man is convinced that
the district will receive a thorough
prospecting this winter as the min
ers are scattered over wide area
extending far down the Tanana
river. Some of them have drills
and will soon get to work sinking
holes. Prospecting has been delayed
owing to the scarcity of supplies
and through necessity of having to
build cabins before the cold weather
set in. Supplies are more reason
able now and the miners are getting
busy in earnest and discoveries will
soon be reported from many parts
of the district.

No longer will the station on the

the stampeders to Shushana take
their departure from the railroad to
the diggings be known as Mccarthy.
The name of the place has been
changed and is now officially known
by employees of the road as Shu-

be less confusing to stampeders and
Alaskans generally as there is a

BROOKS OPINION
OF NELHC|NA

During the summer of 1913 con-
siderable local excitement was
caused by the discovery of aurifer-
GUS gravels in the region adjacent
to the upper Matanuska basin. AS
"a consequence, IS to 100 prospec-
tors were attracted to this region.
Placer gold was found on Albert
Creek, a branch of Crooked Creek,
tributary to the Nelchina River.
The Nelchina River is one of the
forks of the Tazlina, which joins
the Copper River from the west
about eight miles ABOVE Copper
Center. The bedrock, according to
G. c. Martin, consists of sand
stone and shale underlain in places
by volcanic rocks. This series is
only gently folded and is cut by
small bikes, but shows little or no
evidence of naturalization. Min
ing was confined to one claim and
about $1,000 worth of gold was re-
covered. There has been a little
gold won annually for several years
from the gravels of Alfred and
other tributaries of Carbon Creek,
which lies on the west or Matanuska
side of the divide, from which AL
bert Creek flows easterly. The
discoveries thus far made in this
district are not extensive, and what
is known of the geology of this
particular locality gives little hope
of extensive naturalization. On the
other hand, particles of gola have
long been known to be widely dis
| tributed in this general region,
especially in the streams crossing
granite contacts. 1t appears there
| fore that further prospecting in
this general field is fully justified.
Albert Creek can be reached from
tidewater at Knik by journey of
about ITO miles. There is fairly
good trail as far as Chickaloon, 60
miles from tidewater, and the entire
route affords no obstacles for pack
train. Albert Creek is probably
about 20 miles from Copper Center
Though this route has not been sur
veyed, it has been traversed by
horses and is said to offer no seri-
Gus difficulties.
Mining in the Willow Greek lode
ldistrict continued on about the
same scale as Last year. Three
mills-Gold Bullion. Alaska Free
Gold and Gold Quartz were in
more or less continuous operation,
and about 20 men were employed in
mining and milling. Several prom
Using discoveries of quartz veins
were made during the year, and
plans were under way to install
mills at three additional localities
next spring.
Placer mining operations were
conducted in the Yentna district on
most of the claims which were pro-
ductive last year. An unusually
dry season cut down the produc-
ton and one important plant was
tied up by litigation. No new dis
coveries have been reported.
The most important development
during the year on Valdez Creek,
tributary of the upper Susitna, was
the installation of a large hydraulic
plant for the recovery of gold in
buried channel. This plant was
completed before the close of the
summer, and some sluicing was
| done. There were also some
and its tributaries

NABESNA WATERS
M|NERAL|zEO

Almost every mineral found in
any part of the world is known to
exist in Alaska but few people are
aware that there are mineral
SPRINGS which may in time prove of
greater value than any placer gold
rine ever discovered.
In the interior there are numer-
Gus hot springs, the waters of
are of a health-giving nature,
and they are attracting many
Alaskans who have not the time
and means to visit the well known
health resorts in the states. 1t is
quite possible that when Alaska has
been opened up and transportation
made easier, that thousands will be
coming to Alaska to drink and
battle in the mineralized waters of
her springs.
Henry Bratnober, the we'll known
mine owner and capitalist, who is
now a guest at the Windsor, believes
that the mineralized waters of
Alaska have great possibilities. He
discovered and located two miner
allied springs on the Nabesna river.
An analysis of the waters from the
springs show that in percentage of
lithia they are surpassed by only
three wells, in the world. He has
had the waters tested at the Hen
rich Technical Laboratories, at
Tacoma, which reported as follows:

The water is heavily mineraliZed,
the. combination present represent
ing a mineral water of high med
icinal value. Further, it is highly
carbonated water Under certain
conditions it may be bottled and the
refreshing quality given to it by the
carbonic acid gas present retained.
Incidentally the water is to be
classed as a lithia water. Technic-
ally We classify it as "Sodic bicar-
donated, alkaline muriated saline
tpotassic, lithic), carbondioxated."
The salts present are in hypo-
tLetical combination as lithium,
potassium, sodium chlorides;
sodium, magnesium, and calcium pi-
carbonates; sodium and magnesium
sulphates.
In our judgment the medicinal
action of this water would be anti
acid, anti-dyspeptic, and somewhat
laxative, plus the special and pecu-
liar value of lithia as a uric acid
correctant.
With regard to the quantity of
lithia present, this is exceeded by
not more than three of the we'll
known waters now marketed and
greatly exceeds the quantity found
ir the remainder of the well known
brands. This is particularly true in
comparison with the well known
waters of the Saratoga district in
New York.
