DISCOVERY ON OLD DOME NOW
 SHOWING PAY

Again is old Dome creek coming to the front. This time she is showing pay on an old, supposed-to-be-worked- out claim, discovery, second tier, right limit bench, owned by Luther C. Hess. The discovererS of the reported pay are Chris and Andy Nerlard, who have been working on the ground all winter. They have a good sized block of ground which will go approximate Iy $2 to the square foot of bedrock, according to William Canning, the well known Dome creek operator
 Discovery, in it's day, was one of old Dome's biggest producers, It was thought, however, to be worked out until the recent discovery, which was made near the line between the first and second tier benches. If the pay reported to have been found holds ou, there is no doubt that it will material. ly increase the output of the old creek this summer, which already bids fair by reason of other discoveries, to lead in production among the streams in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks.
 The pay which was found few weeks ago on No. : below is still hold ing out, according to Mr. Canning. It goes about $4.5O to the square foot of bedrock. In the immediate vicinity of where his pay was discovered other outfits are sinking shafts, but none of them have yet been put to bedrock Fairbanks Ciuzen)

PROTECTING RED men WETTING SPOILS eggs
One Instance Found in Which
Cleanliness Is Menace.
Uncle Sans Specialists Say Great
Loss Results in Cold Storage
Plants From Washing Shells.

Uncle Sans specialists have dis
covered one instance where cleanli-
ness is not to be desired, where dirt
is protection rather than a menace.
Strange to say, this discovery has to
do with the preservation of one item
of food supply.
Approximately 100000 dozen eggs
spoil needlessly every year in cold
storage simply because someone has
let clean eggs get wet or has washed
dirty eggs before sending them to
market, according to the experts of
the United States department of ag-
riculture. Careful investigations of
large quantities of stored eggs show
that from IL to % per cent of washed
whereas only 4 to 8 per cent of dirty
eggs stored unwashed spoil. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Water removes
from the shell of the egg a gelatinous
covering which helps to keep air and
germs out of the inside of the egg.
Once this covering is removed by
washing or rain which gets to eggs in
the nest, germs and molds find ready
access to the contents and spoil the
eggs.
This enormous loss in storage eggs
largely can be prevented, it is de-
clared, if producers and egg handlers
will refrain from washing eggs des-
tined for the storage markets and take
pains to reduce the number of dirty
eggs by providing plenty of clean,
sheltered nests for their hens.
Millions of eggs spoil in storage be-
cause they have been exposed to dew,
rain, dirt, and sun in stolen nests in
the grass or fence corners.
In view of this great loss of valu-
able food, the department urges coun-
try storekeepers and hucksters not to
accept washed eggs for shipment in
case lots. Shiny eggs, especially in
the early spring, probably have been
washed. All washed eggs purchased
should be sold locally for immediate
consumption, it is declared.

GREATEST WAR
MINES EXPLODED
British Strike Big Blows at
Germans on Belgian Front.
OLD YPRES is NOW AVENGED
Key Position To All the Northern
Sector Of the Western Front, and
Even More Important Than
Vimy Ridge.

With the British Armies in France.
In one of the most deliberately plan
ned and daringly executed maneuvers
of the war, Sir Douglas Haig's forces
have dealt mighty blow against the
German line in Belgium and been re-
warded with notable gains in terrain
and the capture of more than 5000
GUS caliber. In addition, they inflicted
heavy casualties on the Germans.
Over a front of more than nine
miles, extending from the region of
Ypres southwark nearly to Armen-
there's, the British started their drive,
and everywhere advanced their line,
capturing villages and numerous
points of vantage, among the latter
the -Wystchaete Ridge, which
commands the surrounding plains for
miles, and which for two and a half
years has been a troublesome salient.
The villages of Messines and Wyte-
chaete fell into the hands of the Brit
ish during the attack and the British
even pressed on eastward from Wyts-
chaete and occupied the village of
Osttaverne, and trenches east of the
village on a front of more than five
miles.
Probably never in history was an
attack launched with greater prepare
ton. For days the Wytschaete salient
had been the objective of the British
guns which had hurled tons of steel
upon it. When the time for the at
tack came the British loosed mines
containing 100000 pounds of high ex-
plosives in front of the German posi-
tions, the detonations being heard 1870
miles away in England.
With CONSERVATION reigning among
the Germans and under a curtain of
fire, English, Irish, New Zealand and
Australian infantrymen, with tanks"
to aid them started across the open
The Germans offered only slight re-
sistance and everywhere were beaten
Off
Great preparations are being made
in France for the arrival of American
troops. Already an American trans
port containing food for them has ar
rived in French port and American
warships are anchored off the French
Coast. Camps have been prepared for
all branches of the American forces
who are expected.

Sweet Potatoes Can Be Made lmpor-

Uncle Sans Farm Experts.

Sweet potatoes can be made an i'm

specialists in Uncle Sans department
of agriculture. 1t is quite easy to in
crease the acreage enormously, and
the adoption of better methods of
handling and storing would improve
the product to such an extent that the
demand would be greatly stimulated.
Storing sweet potatoes has always
been a more difficult problem than
producing them. A large part of the
Southern crop is kept in pits and
banks, with the result that probably
80 per cent of the potatoes decay, and
even those which are fit to put on the
market do not keep well. Moreover,
the pits and banks cannot be opened
during wet or rainy weather without
risk of injuring all the stock in them,
so that 1t is not uncommon for grow
ers to be unable, because of weather
conditions, to get out their potatoes
at the very time that the market de-
mand for them is greatest.
These difficulties can be done away
with to a great extent by the use of
sweet potato storage houses, it is de-
clared.
