GREATEST NEED
 OF KANTlSHNA ECOOD TRAILS

The Kantishna mining and record, ing district lies to the north side of the Alaska Range and includes DOT tions of the basins of the Nenana and Kantishna rivers, the southern portion of the Tanana lowlands and some of the outlying mountain ridges, and lies between meridians 149 deg. and 151 deg. 10 min. west longitude and par allels 63 deg. 25 min and GA deg. 15 min. north latitude This district comprises approximately 5000 square miles, a portion of which is included in the Mt. Mckinley national park.
 In the year 1905 placer gold was discovered on Eureka creek and sev- eral thousand stampeders rushed to the new strike. It was unfortunate that the majority of the gold-seekers were of the grounding type, and, after blanketing all the ground that looked good, they stampeded out just as fast as they stampeded in. There were, however, about forty of the old timers who stayed with the country in order that they might prove or dis prove the value of the ground. AL though the remoteness of the Kan tishna district from the established lines of transportation has made travel to it difficult and the transpor- tation of supplies expensive, these same forty have stayed by the country and are ready to prove to the world that the Kantishna region is one of the richest districts, both in placer and quartz in Alaska.
 Up to 1916 Fairbanks was the source of supply and each season one of the prospectors would make his annual pilgrimage for the years out fit. This would be freighted to Dia. mond by small boats, a distance of $50 miles; it was then placed in caches until sledding time and hauled with dogs to the various camps, the total cost of freighting being about 10 cents per pound. When the town of Nenana was established the dist ance was shortened but the price o1 freighting remained With the com pletion of the railroad to the Nenana coal fields, the distance to the Kan tishna country will be reduced tt about 65 miles, and with the con struction of wagon road will reduc, the cost of transpostatfoh to three cents per pound or less.
 In order that we may become ac Quainted with the magnitude of this district, conservative figures will show just what may be expected ii proper transformation facilities are provided. At present there are about 700 placer claims or 14,O0O acres o1 gold bearing gravels. These claims are all producers and contain approxi mately 160,0OO,O00 cubic yards of gold bearing gravel and should yield al least 75 cents per cubic yard, making a total of $120,O0O,O0O which would take sixteen No. hydraulic giants thirty years to work out. The above z figures do not include the thousands Of acres of unexplored ground in this district, which will no doubt become large producers if handled in scien tific manner.

AMERICANS ON GUARD
 AT ROYAL PALACE

 CoBLENz. Feb. 25.-An American corporal's guard has been sleeping recently in the royal palace in Cob lenz on the Rhine. When the Ameri- cans came to Coblenz they took over all the larger government, buildings and the affairs of state were moved to the mansion which is also known as one of the former emperor's sum- @mer palaces. Americans are not Der mitted to enter the palace under an order of General Dickman. To en- force this rulee two khaki-clad sent ries are on duty day and night at the main entrance. The room used as sleeping quarters by the Americans was formerly occupied by German soldiers doing guard duty.

CUBAN CANE FIELDS
 OFFER LOW WAGES

SAN JUAN, Feb. 25.-Efforts of import Porto Rican laborers for work in Cuban cane fields apparently have failed. The Cubans offered $2 a day, with no extra pay for overtime. The Porto Rican employment service re- piled, demanding time and half pay for overtime, free transportation to Cuba and return, free housing and no discrimination as regards color.
 The Cubans have replied, character izing these terms as prohibitive.

CHRISTMAS SAVINGS CLUBS.

Few OF our merchants realize tha
enormous benefits which accrue to
them each year in the Christmas say
ines clubs which are conducted br
the banks The clubs are different
from the usual savings propositions.
While they are of inestimable benefit
to the community in intoxicating in
the individuals, and particularly the
young people. the idea OF saving
(which means thrift they are say
ings for a specific purpose, and that
purpose accomplished, the money IS
turned loose, is spent for the laudabl2
purpose for which the fund vas
created.
is quite another matter 1t has its
great benefit and its value cannot be
oyerestimated. but it becomes an al
most sacred fund which is not dis
turbed except under unusual circum-
stances. But the Christmas club say,
ings is ordinarily "on the side" and
is for Christmas spending. Whatever
plan is adopted by the club member
he keeps a. it during the year in
order that he may be flush" next
Christmas He puts the money by for
Christmas. and when Christmas comes
he draws it and uses it. Many a
Christmas time is made happier and
better this year on account OF las
years clubs. The idea Is growing
each year. and the effects will be even
more noticeable next year. 1t is the
easy way to get money for Christmas
spending. II is not an indefinite
rainy day fund, but one which has
a definite time limit ahead, which in
sures an extra effort to keep it up.
j. is a plan which warrants tbs
merchants as we'll as the banks ir
boosting Every Christmas clul
started this year means that mucf
more money in circulation in Ottawa
next Christmas Boost the Christina
savings clubs. They are worth while
for everybody the saver, the mcr
chants, the community, as well as tn
hankr.
