FAIRBANKS MAY BECOME
 bHTIM0MY MINING CENTER

to be taken from the Kantishna dis tTict.
 While he has made To inYestiga- tious iu the Kantishna district, MT. White says that if what he learns is true, and bo believes it is, the lantishEa will develop larger anti Iaony properties than any other sec lion of the United States.
 The report of the HargraYes En- giueoring company engineers, who have just returned, would seem to Lear out this statement.
 At the present time, Ed Quinn, working at the head of Eagle pup, a tributary of Treasure creek, ap- pears 70 have one of the best looking antimony propositions ip tic country. He is taking out some orc now and his property is ex- pected to produce at least a thousand tons of ore.
 Alots Friedrich, of RidgetOp, is taking out some ore, too, and has a gOOdIOoking proposition. His antimony is high grade and will bring @ good price in the market outside.
 Jack Leach and partners, on Eva creek, have some likely-lCOking anti mouy property also, and are now taking out some ore.
 Several other outfits are working ground on a small scale also, and will add materially to the output 0G the district for the year.
The daily Alaskan., 1916-01-17

FairDanks, Jan. 15 - Fairbanks has a chance of becoming the anti mouy center Of the United states,
 according to statements made by | George White, who is here looking into the autimony situation. At tie present time there are a number of outfits working on antimOny all oyCt the interior, and more mining men gre becoming interested in the min eral all the time, Up to the past summer, little attention was eyer paid ty sntimouy, .anI little was known of it. Today rue same holds true to 8 large extent, particuIar- Iy as to the knowledge oi the ore.
 Last evening, in talking of anti mouy, Ir. White said that a mine that would produce a thousand tons Of antimouy ore was considered very good piece Of property through ou- the United States. Owing to the nature Of the ore and the conditions under which it is found, and under which it must be operated, it has been, necessarily, a poor mans pro- position. But few, if any, big com panics in tle United States have ever attempter to work antimony properties, and for this reason 8 mine that would produce a thou sand t3us, bringing in from $5o,- OUO up, has been considered a good proposition.
 One Of tho largest outtmouy mines in existence in the United states tut little more than a year ago produced but two thousand tons of autimony, or twice as much as was taken out of the Fairbanks distri,f last summer. Next spring, CT at least before fall. the Fair banks district will produce ap- prcAimateIy as much autimouy as this largest mine in the country. This is exclusive of the muumony

YUKON STAGE TRAILS
 ARE IN BAD SHAPE

Never since a stage line has been operated in Yukon have the trails been in as bad condition from drift ed snow as at present. Driver Bur wash, due Monday evening, did not arrive until noon Wednesday and he had been driving almost all the time since leaving Dawson, from twenty to twenty-four hours being required to make three posts usual ly covered in from ten to twelve hours.
 MT. Burwash says that in places the snow Is from four to six feet deep and that for miles he was forced to make new trail away from the road. Besides being very hard on the drivers, it is almost death to horses.
 Owing to the condition of the trail the stage schedule which is ordin- arily very closely adhered to, is now very much disorganized but but will be restored as soon as conditions permit,
