WILLOW CREEK
is BOOMING
ALL MINES OVER THERE HAVE
HAD RICHER STRIKES AND
BIG CLEANUPS MADE.

That richer ore has been struck on
all the mines over at willow creek and
that bigger cleanups are now being
made is the news brought here by
Fred Laubner who returned overland
yesterday from that district. Mr.
Laubner himself bought an interest in
one of the mines there some time ago
and naturally made a careful survey
of the conditions. 1t was mentioned
in this paper few days ago that
after a ten days run a cleanup of one
hundred ounces had been made
but since that time that record
has just doubled, a cleanup of more
than thirty-twO hundred dollars hav-
ing been made for a similar period.
The richer rock has been discovered
not only in one mine but in the whole
four that are being operated in the
same vicinity. So rich is the rock in
some cases, it is said, that pieces OF
free gold crystal" have fallen out
when the ore was disturbed.

Execution issued under a judgment

John W. Frame was levied on the
Commoner plant in the Wickersham
house on West Mckinley street this
morning. The United States marshal
is in possession now.
The judgment is for $500, costs and
interest, amounting altogether to near
ly $500. 1t was recovered in January,
1912, the cause of the action growing
out of the old Valdez Daily Miner
which Frame wrecked, leaving every
body in the hole who had put money
or labor into it.
In a semi-annual report to the post
office department last April Frame
swore that Charles NJ. Day owned the

PIPE LINE HAS NOW
REACHED THIRD AVE.

The new pipe line being put in by
the Electric company has now reach
ed Third avenue and the work is pro-
crossing splendidly in every respect.
Sam Graft, president Of the company,
has remarked a peculiar fact in con-
nection with the work, and that is that
a ditch can be dug a few feet away
from a glacier stream without the
water from the stream seeping in.
The ditch he has had dug now is about
twelve feet away from the stream
and three feet below it but it remains
quite dry. This is probably due to the
fact that the water goes straight
down through glacier deposit.

subject but the defense will try to
