BUSINESS AND BOOZE

Sioux Falls Argus-Leader: There
may be differences of opinion about
the best way to control the drink
evil, but there Is ouly one side to
the booze question. Big business does
not want the boozer. The railroads
viii not employ him. He can't lead
armies, or guide ships, or head big
enterprises. He isn't wanted in poll
kics. He can't get a good job In
smaller business and he can seldom
pold one when he does get it. Booz-
ing Is unpopular and Its deyotee In
On the defensive. He can't win ON

below the average In efficiency 10
al pursuits. and the mot wanted
siSn is displayed against him every
whore. A strong and growing public
sentiment Is satisfactorily working
out the temperance problem.

New Pay Reported
 From Nugget Creek

That there is much activity on Nugget creek. a tributary of Gold stream heading toward the Ester dome, is the report brought to town last week by Hugh Ross. Mr. Ross knows nothing more than what he has heard concerning the prospect ing going on there, but he is author ity for the statement that several small boilers are being taken in and that prospects are therefore good for considerable work.
 It Is reported that Rod Donaldson and Alex Evanson on the Sunrise association, at the mouth of Nugget, have finished another hole to bed rock, and that they have struck pay but that the extent of it is an un- known quantity as yet. Their first shaft to bedrock showed nothing. The ground where they are working is said to be about 106 feet in depth.

Thirty Holes Sunk
 And No Pay Yet

Robert Benner, the we'll known Joung Fairbanksan who went to the Toloyana country about a month ago, returned to town last Satur- day night. He states that there IS very little news of importance in the new diggings but that the lit tie he was able to accumulate while there, was of discouraging nature.
 Among other things Benner states that 30 holes have been put down on creeks tributary to Liyengood, creek, and that no pay has been found on bedrock anywhere. Every where the plospectors go they en- counter gold at the grass roots and on down through the gravel for various distances but the pay on bed rock is not in evidence.
 The formation in the Tolovana country Is evidently of a queer na- ture. Prospects as good as three or four cents to the pan are found in the top gravels which carry sedt ment. Then there is run of chick en feed" which is absolutely har- ren.
 The sediment will be found deeper dSdIil III tue SluhluS, ana more pans may be obtained. Benner himself banned on number 1 below on Liven- good at a depth of 20 feet, but found no gold
 Marsh X Mcqueen, working on number below on Livengood, now have their shaft down to a depth of so feet with no sign of bedrock as yet. It is the deepest hole on the creek and it is expected that it will be put to bedrock quicker than any other now being sunk. For the first 50 feet of this shaft, the gravels showed good prospects but the last 50 feet has been blank, according O Benner.
 Benner says that it may be pos Sible that Hudson Brothers have pay on Amy creek but that if so, they are keeping very quiet about it. In fact that they are not saying anything about what they have. Other prospectors are still optimis- tic about the country, feeling that the creeks will yet show a paystreak Especially is this true in view of the fact that bedrock has not yet been reached on Livengood itself.
 Benner mushed to Fairbanks in two days time from the Tolovana He met eight or ten double-ender outfits going in. He will not re- turn to the Tolovana at the present time.

Report Tells Of Alaska Mining In 1914 ICheaper Power Is Needed in the Interior

bark on ventures without counting the cost of operation. It is now certain that there can be little hope of substantial profit until mining and milling costs are reduced chief ly by obtaining cheaper power. Many owners of quartz mines are now awaiting the construction of the railway, which will give them cheap CT fuel and supplies, before pro ceedlng with any development While these conditions brought about the general decline in lode mining, it is also true that many veins have no, shown the persistency in depth and values that their owners had hoped Tor Such unrealiZed hopes are to be expected in all new lode camps.
 "OnIy two mills. aggregating sev- en stamps were operated continuous ly during the year, but three other mills were run for short periods. The most important operations were those of the Rhoads Hall mine on Bedrock creek and of the Spalding mine on Dome creek. These mines were worked on about the same scale as in the past.

 The gentleman in question is a foreigner by birth, talks broken Eng fish. but is full of life and cheer. It was thus decided to ask him to recite selection at an entertain ment. for he is ever ready to odlige, and Is certain to please in the matter of entertaining.
 According to the plans of the en- tertainment committee, one of it's members called upon the foreigner and asked him if he would favor the guests at the entertainment with recitation. He was surprised, however, when the prospective en- tertainer said, in all seriousness:
 Wy, would you haf me speeg i'd in blain English, or talk dialect?"
 "I believe" replied the member of the committee, while he tried to suppress a smile, that it would be best to give recitation in dialect V
 This was agreed to, and those present at the entertainment declare that the dialect recitation was the best thing on the program.
 Weddings The last few weeks have Are Too been very noticeable for Frequent the unusual numeber of
 weddings that have tah en place in Fairbanks and vicinity within that time. To the public, d wedding is usually but a passing topic of conversations, but to the man employed by the N. C. company, some upon their pocketbooks.
 It has always been custom among the employees of the N. c. Co., in Fairbanks to give each one of their members who gets married chest of silver as a wedding present. In the earlier days, when weddings in Alaska were few and came as a wei come change in the monotony of things, the donations for the chests of silver were given with a sense of pleasure, but nowadays weddings among the employees of that company are getting so frequent that the single men declare Chat the only way to get their money back is to get married. The man who does not get married while employed by the company is much like the man who has paid Reinsurance dues until he is about to get a refund, and then loses the whole thing by failing to pay up.
 Within the last 30 days, there have been two weddings of men employed by the N. c. company, and there is another N. c. wedding that is scheduled to take place at an early date. If these married men resign and their places are filled by single men, the whole process of buying chests of silver for wedding gifts will start a new cycle, and the old employee who fails to get mar ried will certainly be "stung."
 It is understood that there is plan on foot at the N. c. store to place a wholesale order for silver chests at an early date. in order to get them at reduced prices.

Signs Every Few Doors.
A man who came from Fort Madi-
son on Thursday made the remark to
a Gate City reporter today that crude
attempt of that city to shoulder its
troubles on Keokuk ought to be ex-
posed.

and saw smallpox quarantine sign

Madison papers about Keokuk is all
bosh, and is boyish attempt to grab

here. Doctors investigated and c. A.

Sand case is the only case OF genuine
smallpox in the city and is the only
one under quarantine, Mr. Evans de-
dared.
Let's Make IL Unanimous.
The Burlington Hawk-Eye yesterday
denied any smallpox in its city. Bur-
lington was accused In the statement
credited to DR. Neal along with KeO-
kuk. The Hawk-Fye adds this very
pertinent paragraph which The Gate
City indorses and the vote Is unani-
nous:
"If the other news furnished the
readers of the Democrat is no more
reliable than this one story. then the
peopleaof the Gem City OF Iowa are in
deed In "a hard row OF stumps.'''
Is Libel on City.
"The city of Keokuk has been lib
elled by that article in the Fort
Madison paper" was the comment
from ]. A. M. Collins, commissioner
OF public safety. The commissioner
referred to the report made by the
health officer, showing that there is
no need for any worry on the part of
the town up the river, or anyone else
for that matter, in regards to Keo-
kuk's health.
THE usual Fl. Madison attempt to
hand something to somebody else to
hide their shortcomings was the
way a prominent business man here
expressed himself.
And that seems to be the opinion Of
everybody in Keokuk.
