show that the camp is still taking out money. On the upper end of Little ManOOk creek, the oldest producer of the camp, considerable winter work was done on the ground owned by John w. Duncan. The same ground is now being worked by an open cut, and from the size of the cut, this ground should have a good cleanup this summer.
 The lower end of the same creek is also worked by the same method, and will probably produce some this sum- mer.
 There are two hydraulic plants in operation on Hunter creek. The up- per end of the creek is owned and worked by Charles Swanson. A small cleanup was made early this summer, which amounted to about six thousand dollars, or about two dollars to the foot. It is expected that this ground will clean up about twenty thousand dollars before the freexe-up.
 The lower end of this creek is owned and worked by A. Ott, who is also we'll satisfied with his work so far this season.
 Little Manook, IT,, and Slate creeks are also being worked, but not to any great extent, owing to the few people located there.
 M. P. Fleischman, who resided at Rampant for twenty-two years, and who was postmaster at the same place for twenty-one years, has moved to Fairbanks, where he intends to remain indefinitely.

AUSTRALIANS GET MAIL FROM LINER DESTROYED
 BY GERMAN RAIDER

SYDNEY, Australia, July 4 Cby maiD.-A curious manifestation of German psychology is seen in the re- cent delivery of the Australian liner Matungas mails to the addresses. The Matunga was captured and sunk by the German raider Wolf off the coast of New Guinea, in August, 1917. The mails on her were taken to Germany. After they had remained in German hands over a year they were delivered to the British authorities after the armistice had been signed. In due course they were sent to Sydney, ar irving two years late.

WHY WORK IS BEING RUSHED
 ON RAILROAD
(From Seward Gateway

Now that an inspection of the gov ernment railroad in Alaska is to be made by members of the house terri tories and appropriations committees, work is being hurried pell-mell on the Seward division. And the word for the extra spurt came from the head quarters of the Alaska engineering commission at Anchorage, presum- ably, for all things relative to the Sew ard division originate from the An chorage office.
 As a consequence of the forthcom- ing inspection, every man from the TaIkeetna division, every available man from the Anchorage division, is now out on the Seward division north of Mile 47, according to unofficial ad- vices. The large number of men rushed suddenly to the new front line of defense comprise T. & T. men, bridge builders, snoWshed men, track layers, tie layers, pick and shovel men, etc. The sidings north of Mile 47 look as if circus train had been switched north. There are the bunk cars, mess cars and the best of the rolling stock from the Anchorage division. Hun dreds of men are working, not only on the day shift, but the orders are to work two shifts, night and day.
 After five years waiting the rush

MINING NEWS PICKED IN

The people of Chisana are appar- ently determined to get busy and do some real prospecting, if letter writ ten by the United States commissioner in that camp is to be taken as evi- dence of their intention. He would like to get in touch with someone who has a steam power Keystone drill to sell, desiring to know the lowest cash price, and also the amount of cas- ing, size, etc, and tools on hand.
 The commissioner, Anthony McGet- tigan, says that the camp has never been really prospected, and a few of the citizens have decided to go at it right Full information may be had from Secretary Guy B. Erwin of the local Commercial CIub.-Fairbank Citizen.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-08-06

orders finally were issued and now everything is feverish, because the members of the house coming North probably are going to make real in- spection.
 But what are the powers that be going to say when the question is asked, Why the sudden excitement and great rush? Who delayed the game? For what purpose was con- Struction work held up? Why was the appropriation for the Seward di- vision always cut, when the Seward division is the outlet of the great and grand and gigantic enterprise of gov ernment ownership"
 The average person would rather be down on Fox island than in the shoes of the Anchorage authorities, because there are going to be some questions asked that are going to be hard to give reasonable answer to
 But hundreds of extra men are, however, rushing work on the Seward division for a purpose, and that pur- pose is clear-to do something so that the house members may be able to ride from Seward to Anchorage after five years of construction work on railroad which was at one time rail- road and traffic was in operation.

The appearance of the ledge on the divide between Moose and Friday creeks, in the Kantishna district, which is being opened up by the Ait ken party, is improving with depth, according to J. A. Haney, who arrived in Fairbanks with a number of sam ples for assay recently.
 The shaft had reached a depth of thirty-fve feet when Haney left camp, and the work is now proceeding as rapidly as two shifts of miners of three men each can rush it. More than that number of men, MT. Haney said, can not be used with economy one, merely to determine the values and extent of the ledge, and will be abandoned when the real develop mnt work starts. Should the results of the present work prove satisfac tory, the ledge will be tapped with a tunnel at a much lower level.
 The work of moving supplies to the camp from the river landing at Roose. welt is proceeding steadily with two pack horses, and if it should be de cided to work on a larger scale dur ing the winter, a considerable quantity of supplies will be landed at Roosevelt before the close of navigation.

Reports received from the Koyukuk indicate that the old-timers of the Arc tic camp are not very much excited over .Ae strikes" which were report ed earlier in the year to have been n de in that district, and no one has left the Koyukuk towns or old-time creeks to ascertain whether or not the stories are true.
 Conditions at Bettles are about as they usually are during the summer months, with probably few more peo- pie in town than usual, because of the arrival of the first boat of the season with fresh supplies. It was too early in the season, when the Reliance wis. tied the Koyukuk, to form an estimate of the summers output but the opin ion prevailed that the district would produce about as much this year as last
 One of the stories of the KOyukuk discovery received at Fairbanks was to the effect that good pay had been found on the Bottles river, with indi cations that the paystreak was at least twelve miles in length. A quantity of gold dust, reported to have been taken from the Bettles ground by the discoverer, was on display at Tanana early in the summer.

ing:
FIRST: That for the purpose Of
cooperating with the Government We,
as retailers, are willing to c0ncen-
trate our attention as distributors
upon the task Of placing the lower

public ut the lowest margins Of profit
possible.
SECOND: That in order to bring

We recommend to the retail trade the

THIRD: That We recognise, and

supply his public such things as they
demand and as manufactures pro-

We must supply the things our public
wants, but we are public-spirited enough to
want to help solve the present problem by
sincere cooperation with the Government
in every good and worthwhile thing that it
proposes. It will be our constant endeavor
to supply good, reliable merchandise in the
less expensive grades as cheaply as it is pos
sible to do SO; every advantage that our
buying power gains for us will be passed
on for the benefit of the buying public. ;.

The resolutions adopted urge retailers to
feature lower-priced merchandise, and the
urging upon the public of careful buying.
That greatly increased production and
restrained consumption is the only remedy
for the present level of prices, is generally
admitted.
Retailers, who have Basement Sales
rooms for the sale of less expensive goods,
are urged to feature them in order that the
public may learn that tits possible to obtain

IN BRADY CASE

Sustaining Of a demurrer In the
case Of Charles S. Brady against
Mary E. McHugh by Judge F. d.

authorized an agent to obtain for
her a purchaser. she had not au-
thori1ed him to contract sale for
her. It was the contract entered
into by the agent that Brady
sought to enforce.

FIND CREEL FAMILY WEALTH
Two Million Pesos Was Turned Over
to Mexican Government for
Identification.

Mexico City.-When representatives
of the famous Creel family of Chi
huahua recently appeared before the
government officials here with requests
for information regarding the where
abOuts of mining, railway and other
valuable stock valued at close to q
100000 pesos, they were astonished to
learn that the stock, as well as about
100000 pesos in paper money, was
held by the national treasury for iden-
LITIGATION of ownership and that it only
had been discovered few months ago.
According to published accounts,
w0rkmen, while cleaning out a spare
room in the building used by the fed
eral district government, found score
of locked boxes which contained the
paper money and shares. Neither the
governor of the federal district, Gen.
Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court,
after guarded Investigations, could
determine who owned the treasure, so
it was turned over in trust to the
national treasury.
The theory is that during the first
revolutionary troubles which resulted
in the downfall of Porfirio Diaz the
boxes were sent from Chihuahua to a
private residence of the Creels here
and that when the Zapatistas first en-
tered Mexico City they were placed In
charge of the federal district govern
ment.
The Creel representative stated that
a large sum of metallic currency and
a valuable collection of jewels also
were being sought, but of these easily
:ealizable riches no trace has been dis
covered.
