Special Correspondence.

Deering, Alaska, April 30. 1915.
 For a part of this month the soft weather caused some of us to think that the final thaw was on. However. the sun made little impression on the clean snow banks; about the buildings and dumps the thaw was considerable. But everything has stiffened up; the nights are quite hard and little or no thaw during the day. Trails are still in fine shape and it is expected that freighting will continue for quite a spell yet. Operators continue to pile up pay dirt and expect to keep at it for a considerable time yet before it gets soft enough to force them to cease.

Eric Johnson, while at Golovin with the last mail from the outside. met several Koyuk miners who had return ed to that point for the purpose of se- curing supplies and says that one and all speak highly of the prospects in the Kovuk section. The men with whom Johnson discussed the new strike are Al Wilson, Carl Jepsen and William Raglan all of who are more or less well known. Johnson says that he was told that all indications pointed to per manent camp being established and the prospects were fair wherever found It was also stated that the pay which still further adds to the out look As an indication of the value of the pay gravel Jepsen said that he had taken ten pans from different dumps and obtained an average value per pan of six cents. The gold is described as heavy and. although of rather dark color. is apparently of good quality Between thirty and forty men are at present in the district and the major ity are reported to have found pros poets. Wallace Porter has struck good pay on a claim owned by his brother in-law and from a Il indications the pay also runs into the adjoining bench
 Johnson state. that nearly everyone who is foot-loo is preparing to leave for the strike and it is impossible to get team in the neighborhOod of Col ovin or Chinik because of their being requistioned to carry supplies to the new camp which is located on Dime Creek
 Paul Kiegstad is reported to be on his way in from Bluff having met Johnson night before last near Chinik.
 Johnson gives the distance from Chinik to Dime Creek as between forty and fifty miles by the present trail As the Koyuk is navigable by light draught boats to a point some dis tance above the mouth of the creek on which the pay has been found It is probable that it will be the route most used during the summer season. The mouth of the Koyuk is about seventy miles from Chinik and the dis tance up stream to the strike is esti- mated at about forty five miles
 Johnson states that he made the journey himself with a power scow some years ago and found little diffi- cultY.

SOME GOOD ADVICE FOR
THE KICKING FARMER

Suppose merchant kept his store
open six months of the year, then
closed up and went on a vacation
the balance Of the time-do you
think that store would be earning its
full capacity, or do you think that
merchant would be losing money he
might have made?
Yes, kind reader, that system is
similar to what Is per cent Of the
farmers of this section are follow
ing; it is a fact. and facts might as
well be met face to face.
Before any farmer has a right to
cry "hard times" he should stop and
ask himself the question, ami get
ting all out of my farm that is pos
sible to get?"
There is a market for EVERY
THING the farmer can produce.
I, Therefore, why should he leave his
land idle half the time? Is it good
business policy?
PRODUCE the stun, then use q
little ingenuity and brains toward
marketing it and you will soon find
marketing is an easier task than
you expecter. However, products
! must be graded and prepared in such
way as to meet the standards of the
buying public, else no permanent
trade or market can be established.
Don't expect your local merchant
to buy all your produce, for the local
market is easily glutted, and don't
expect someone to drive up to your
door and buy your products; both
of these are mistaken ideas; yet a
great many farmers actually expect
a ready market to seek them out in
stead of them seeking the market.
Instead of crying hard times.
the farmers ought to be proverbially
kicking themselves" for not having
products to SELL. Standing around
the street cornersd scussing whether
or not next years tobacco crop will
sell nj a big profit is not good
habit. because it does not help the
situation a particle; and certainly

The way to make money farming
is to have products to sell, and in
order to have them the farmers must
get busy. and keep busy, all the

STATE. NEEDS ONLY TO
BE ADVERTISED

Florida has no more astute bust
ness man than Frank Adams, presi-
dent Of the Barnett National Bank
And none more careful and conser-
vative in his statements. Therefore
when Mr.. Adams, just returned
from a two weeks trip out Of the
State, says, as he did say in The
Florida Metropolis Monday, that
"the train of prosperity is in sight,
under full head OF steam and on
a smooth track" there will be none
to take issue.
Mr. Adams has reiterated Just
what The Metropolis has been de-
clariug for months. Through our
news columns we have shown that
train Of prosperity headed toward
Florida. With out exultation, how
ever. We have included a word Of
advice. The train can be tagged
before 1t reaches here. It is coming
through section peopled by pro-
sressive spirits; people who know
their advantages and are not hiding
them under bushel. Evidently Mr..
Adams has some such feeling, for he
concluded his interview Monday with
The Metropolis representative with
the statement: ''If the people of
the United Stats knew what there
was in Florida. what it has to offer
in the way Of climate. opportunities
for success and undeveloped re-
sources, the State would not hold the
people that would fow to 1t. All
we need to do is to PROPERLY AID
