TO this German newspaper they
are devoted to such a degree that
they will ~cheerfuily pay a larger

Washington Journal., 1914-01-24

The German speaking popula-
ton appreciate it if the advertising
merchant takes the trouble to speak
to them in their tongue through
their newspaper, and they are far
apter to take cognizance of their
advertisement if they see it in THE
JOURNAL than if they merely see
It in the English daily. The Ger
man population is far greater in
this part of the country than is or
dinarily assumed.
But the best best and most con-
vincing method for ascertaininp the
value Of THE JOURNAL as an
advertising medium is to give it a
thorough trial.

BIRCH GREEK
 LOOKS PROMISING
Ruby Record -Citizen)


 One dollar and fifty cents to the foot in 3O-foot crosscut on Birch creek. And l5-cent pans at the bottom of an other hole about 600 feet below. This is the tidings brought to town by returning stakers on Birch creek. Some weeks ago few quiet tips were given out that on the first of the year something would be doing on Birch creek and vicinity, and, like sil secrets it was given in confidence to friends and then to still more friends, until on the fsteful night of December 3l there were about 25 men on the creek, each imsg ming himself the favored one of the many.
 So many men making 8 mad dash to stake ground at l2 o'clock midnight could not help but result in confusion and prob able law suits This possible state of affairs was realized by the men, and but a short time elapsed before 8 miners meeting was called chairman appointed, and the propo- sition discussed quietly and calmly. After a few minutes discussion it was decided to place the names of those present in hat and draw lots for the claims, which was done, and the actual stalking attended to in the morning. They were all satisfied with this solution of probable mix-up, and the following morning each man staked 66O feet in the order of the drawing com mencing on discovery and on down toward the mouth of the creek The stakers here showed their fairness by allowing the dis coverers to do their stalking first, thus giv- ing the men who found the gold an oppor- tunity to acquire more ground as reward for their persistent efforts.
 Birch creek, tributary of Flint, has been regarded with favor by number of prospectors ever since the discovery of the camp, but very little work has been done on it except by few men who backed their faith with prospect work.
 Louis Trafolet and partner have stayed with Birch creek almost constantly for the past three years, sinking holes at different times, and never for minute losing faith in eventual success. The shaft from which they can now hoist pay gravel is on the left limit, near the mouth of Crooked creek. They have drifted about 30 feet and have dirt which pans sl.50 to the foot. Louis Miller is another who has had faith in the creek. Some time ago he bedrocked hole 500 feet below that of Trafolet. Sev- eral pans of gravel from the bottom of this shaft showed an average of l5 cents to the pan.
 It is the confidently expressed opinion of a number of the recent stakers that Birch creek will show B good paystreak, and the next 90 days will see number of holes for distance of four miles
 Not 30 bad 8 start for 1914, do you think?

APPLES RAISED IN ALASKA

Bringing with him healthy looking apple grown in Juneau Alaska, Edward C. Tubbs, coast manager of the Main Betting Com pany, has just returned from the North land, convinced that the prosperity of Alaska is without compare.
 The apple IS one of l5 grown this year on a slip given to Mark Russell of Juneau by Professor c. C. Georgeson in 1905 It was grown by Mr. Russell in 8 yard 100 feet from the governors mansion at Ju- neau.
 Tt is only the beginning of things up there" commented Mir Tubbs as he fondled the precious fruit, which he destines for preservation and exhibition here Millions of capital are being invested there and the young men of intelligence are in great de. mand The big companies are choosing young vitality for work up there, and those who go are going there to stay. Juneau is to be one of the greatest business cen, ters of the North"

NEWS" OF MARSHALL CITY
The Kind of Bunk That Is Being Psdded to a Supposedly GullibIe Public
 About "Andrsafski Strike"

(St. Michael Correspondence in Nome Mug get, January p Albert E. Edwards, who was in town a few days ago, had very different story to tell about the prospects of Marshall City. He is very sanguine of the camp turning out good and he has already invested quite little in the new diggings. He says no one has attempted any development work, ss there is all the locators could do in the way of location work, and that the ground has been scratched on many claims, but no real development work on any. Oscar Andrewuk, reindeer herder from Norton bay, passed through St. Michael today on his way to Marshall City with 50 reindeer. He killed few for the market here and expects to sell the rest at Mar shall, 50 there is no prospect of shortage of fresh meat there.
 Comes now news of the first scrap at Marshall City The report is that Tom Gray was walking across claim owned Dy A. V. IlOuOc bO0lAlCu JAcyEA oh snowshoes, when the two owners of the claim attacked him and gave him a severe beating, blscking his eyes and even going 80 far as to break rib.
 This rpeort was brought to town by c. B. Drew, who has been teaching the Indian school at Pilot Station, little over 40 miles below Marshall City. Mr. Drew is not the regular teacher, but was taking the place of George Bowers, who had quit the school to go mining at the new camp, and he brought the story ss told him by MT, Bowers.
 Mir Rohde is the man who brought the first news of the strike to St. Michael last September, and Meyer is the man who had grubstaked him. Meyer has been night watchman for the Northern Commercial Company for seven or eight years, and those who know him here do not think he is man who is apt to make an unprovoked attack on anyone.
 However, Judge Waskey, who must have arrived at Marshall City before now, will likely have his hands full to straghten out the matter, and the case may even come before the grand jury at Nome.
 During the past week John Christensen has arrived from Marshall City, but brought no information of any pay being struck as yet He said he was going back in few 6avs
