OLD1IME CREEKS OF HOT SPRINGS
 PRODUCING GOLD

The Hot Springs district will pro- duce considerable gold this summer, notwithstanding the fact that min ing operations now in progress are being conducted on a smaller scale than in former years. There IS something doing on every creek ID the district and on several of the creeks there is considerable activity, with the promise of substantial re. turns for the summers work.
 This information is brought to Nenana by Jack Spencer, who has resided many years in the Hot Springs district. He reached Ne mana yesterday from the lower river. having made the trip up the Panama on James Lemieux's gas boat, and may decide to locate here after look ing over local conditions.
 There is a plentiful supply of labor in the Hot Springs district at the present time. In fact, at the time Spencer left there were a number of men without employ ment and unless there is an increase in mining activities some of these men may come to Nenana later to seek employment on the railroad.
 Practically all the dumps taken out during the winter have been cleaned up. the supply of water there being more plentiful than in other Interior camps, where operations are being seriously hampered on m. account.
 The biggest outfit in the district al the present time is that of How ell & Cleveland, on Tofty. Ness and Mike Murray are operating on Amer ican creek, Nels Peterson and Dad Henderson are doing a little work on the upper end of Boulder, and Lou Anderson and partners are working some ground on Moose. Jackel & Jasper are working on Dry creek, and Frank & Graham have a small outfit on Eureka.
 The Book ground is being worked in a small way by Martin Danielson & Co.,, the men being engaged at present in cleaning up dump. Book is still in the States, and re- cent advices received from him in- dicate that he would not come North this year or undertake any large scale operations on his property. Danielson is representing Book dur ing his absence.

!RAWLERS MAKING FORTUNES RAPIDLY

HULL. Eng.-Fortunes from fish
 are being piled up by shippers oper-
 ating out of Hull All through the
 war their profits were so tremendous
 that they now constitute a kind of
 local plutocracy. They have town houses and country houses and gar ages filled with motor cars. .. There are now about ninetey skip pers working their vessels out Of this port. The majority are rough sailors, with rule-of-thumb know ledge of navigation, and curious ideas about the best way to spend their huge earnings.
 For several years many of them have been netting from s40,000 to S50,000 annually. One is said Q have averaged close on to S60,000. A record is held by the skipper of trawler which last fall made the Iceland voyage twice within six
 weeks, returning from the first trip
 with a little less than S100,0OJ worth of fish, and from the second
 with little more than that amount
 The shippers net profit from he
 two trips was something like s20,- 900. The second voyage lasted only
 seventeen days.
 Owners of the fishing craft, who take none of the risks the shippers face, make even more money A boat which hardly would have been thought worth sending to sea before the war can be counted on now to bring in net profits at the rate of
 more than s1O0,000 a year. Wild speculations are going on in traw- lers, the boats changing hands at ridiculous prices.
 It is a gamble against time, for when the trawlers now engaged in mine-sweeping are released from
 that work the fishing fleet here will be tripled and fish profits will drop
 accordingly.

FAIRBANKS PHOTO MAN LOOKING FOR LOCATION

According to advices received from the Outside on yesterdays mail, A. J. Johnson, the Fairbanks photographer, is now in San Fran cisco with his family and is anxious to get located some place on the coast. San Francisco, he says, is too large a place for him, and it is probable that he will look for a location in some of the smaller towns along the coast.
 Unlike many other oldtimers now on the Outside, Johnson has no in- tention of returning to Alaska.

HIGH PRICES TO STAY

Never again will prices or wages reach the before the war level. This is the opinion of Professor H. T. Lewis, head of the economics de- partnent of the University of Idaho. Professor Lewis said recently:
 Although prices will fall from the present level in almost every case, this fall will not be rapid enough to be noticed by the con- sumer. The share labor will get from the national income will be approximately larger than ever before"
 In his analysis of the high cost of living problem, Professor Lewis has emphasized the following facts:
 The general public is mistaken in its feeling that prices will fall immediately after the signing Of peace, although there are many factors in the situation that would lead to this conclusion. We have every prospect for producing the largest wheat and corn crop the United States has ever had The meat packing houses have enormous holdings of meat and meat products in cold storage.
 Large stocks of goods of every description which were being held for war use overseas will not be needed as demobilization becomes fact. The government purchases will fall off. England has already canceled all her meat orders. Fin ally, the men returning from over seas service will materially increase the supply of produce.
 There are many forces which will tend to keep prices up. The cost of transportation is still high. Ocean rates have dropped slightly. Railroad rates continue the same. 4 new tax levied by the government on almost every conceivable luxury went into effect May l.
 ''The uncertainty of European supplies will tend to keep prices up. Finally, the governments price fix ing policy, adopted as pre-war measure Is being continued in peace times This policy holds that it is unwse 10 demoralize industry by a sudden shifting of prices. The gov ernment believes that it is unfair to compel producers to sell at loss good that they produced at the re- quest of the government"
 Professor Lewis believes that the consumer will not notice this change at once. Retail prices change much more slowly than wholesale prices. Producers are making every effort to keep prices up.
 Although wages will fall some what, Professor Lewis believes that they will be readjusted to meet the needs of labor. This is a result of a growing recognition on the part of the employer that wages must not be reduced while prices are high.
 Labor has gained advantages dur ing the war that it never had be- fore. It is now in position to en- force demands that it could not have made two years ago. Elm ployers are beginning to recognize that labor and employer were not on the right terms before the war and there seems to be a tendency on the part of both to make con- ditions right.

Logical Wish.

On the outskirts of Philadelphia is an admirable stock farm. One day last summer some poor chil- dren were permitted to go over this farm, and when their inspection was done, to each of them was given 9 glass of milk. The milk was excellent.
 Well, boys, how do you like it?'' the farmer said, when they had drained their glasses.
 Fine" said one little fellow. Then, after a pause, he added, T wisht our milkman kept a cow"
