supplies and wood up to the mine.
The fuel and timber proposition
is a serious one, it being necessary
to haul all the wood a distance of
several miles, with the steep pull up
the hill at the finish
tombstone says that a lot Of
work has been done since Aiken
took charge of the mine, especially
in view of the fact that the mine
is situated at the top of a mountain,
thirty miles from the nearest water
where supplies may be landed. The
altitude is what caused tombstone
to give up his place. He did not
mind the work, he says, but he
could not get used to being so high
up in the air.
tombstone went into the district
with Bartlett at about the time of
the freezeup. They went in by way
of the Lloyd trail, which begins at
Knights and ends at Diamond City,
thirty miles from the mine. This
trail will be used considerably this
winter. in Johnstone's opinion, since
lit is the only feasible trail for
freghting with horses. When Bart
lett went in, it was necessary to
construct a number of bridges, and
niggerheads caused considerable
trouble, but there is sufficient snow
on the ground now to make good
going.
Bartlett plans to come out with
in short time for supplies for the
mine. the outfit taken in by boat
during the fall already having de-
veloped a number of shortages which
must be replaced before spring.
The Quigleys also are coming out
soon and Mrs Quigley will con-
tinue on to the States for the re-
mainder of the winter
Commissioner Herb Wilson. who
took in a stock of general merchan-
disc on one Of the last boats and

will be out toward the end Of the
month for more supplies.
Tom Aitken was expected TO ar
rive at the mine from the Kusko-
kwim district on the first Of the
month, and is probably there now.
tombstone says his party met a
number of dog teams headed for
, the Kantishna on prospecting and
trapping expeditions and il is his
opinion that more gold hunting will
be done in the district this winter
than during any previous winter
since the early kantishna stampede

MINE
SHOWS GOOD ORE
AS LEDGE OPENS

The galeGa ledge which is being
opened up by Tom Aiken IN the
Kantishna district is showing excel
lent values as the work progresses.
according to Jim tombstone, old
time Fairbanksan, who arrived in
Nenana on Wednesday nights train,
direct from the Aiken camp, where
he worked for a time as black
smith for the outfit He mushed
out by way of the Toklat, accom-
panied by 7. H. Reams and John
Peters and wife, and was seven
days in making the trip from the
mine to Nenana They caught the
train near the Jap roadhouse.
The Aiken tunnel, which is an
extension of the old Quigley tunnel,
is in a distance OF approximately
$50 feet. tombstone says, and they
are now working on raise, to tap
the shaft sunk earlier in the season
Twelve men are employed at the
mine, divided into two shifts
The ore taken from the tunnel is
stored in an orehouse a short dis
lance below the tunnel mouth. from
which point it is hauled down the
hill TO the creek, distance of about
mile and a half The loads are
small, owing to the steep grade,
but when the hauling starts from
the base of the hill to Roosevelt
the ore will move in larger guam
titles.
tombstone says he was not in a
position to learn definitely the value
of the ore being taken out, but he
heard enough TO convince him that
it is very rich. And there appar-
entity is a considerable body of it..
Between SO and 20 tons of the ore
has been sacked ready for hauling
to Roosevelt, where it will be stored
until the opening of navigation, and
then shipped TO an Outside smelter
for trc atment.
The work of getting the ore down
the hill to the creek is serious
problem, according to tombstone,
which ultimately must result in the
construction Of tram. The freight
ing of the ore from the base of the
hill TO Roosevelt, a distance Of ap-
proximately 80 miles, is also a big
jib, and winter proposition strict
ly. Ed Bartlett has contract to
haul the ore out and supplies in,
and he has been busy ever since his
arrival there with his outfit, get
ting the road in shape for heavy
traffic and building relay camps,
There will be two of these relay
camps, one of them ten miles from
the mine and the other ten miles
from Roosevelt, leaving a ten-mile
stretch between. One of the camps
+ is being constructed of logs, but
the other will be q tent affair. with
room for several horses and a place
for hunks and kitchen outfit.
Bartlett will use three four-horse
teams when he starts hauling,
changing teams at each camp, and
in that way he expects 10 be able
to land ten tons of ore per day
at Roosevelt Another team of two
horses will be used at the mine 10

Attempt Made to Rob
First National Bank

An attempt was made last night to
rob the safety deposit box vault of
the First National Bank. The rob-
Der managed to get into the banking
room, and succeeded in taking only
the banks revolvers, which had been
left in the drawers.
An entrance was forced through
one of the side windows. The rob-
Der evidently worked many hours in
futile effort to open the door lead
ing into the safety vault, and bent
the iron knob on the door. 1t is
thought by some that from the fact
that it would have taken such an
enormous power to bend this knob
there must have been two at work on
the job. They were probably inter-
rupted in their work, and went off
leaving their tools.

Organize for
Better Dairying

A drop of sixty cents hundred
weight in the wholesale price of milk
caused the dairyman in Adair Coun-
ty to organize county dairy asso-
citation to promote a better under
standing of the value of dairy pied
ucts on the part Of the consumer
and better knowledge Of sanitation,
balanced rations, the use of better
sires, keeping of records, ETC., on the
part of the producer. In short, the
plan of the local association is to put
dairying on a business basis in the
country The members have pledged
themselves to have their herds tuber-
culin tested and many have agreed
to keep records.
Good dairy feeds are also receiv-
ing attention. Altho the acreage of
soy beans was greatly increased last
year the farmers are making many
inquiries this year and the indica-
tions are that the average of last
year will be doubled. Clover is be-
ing sown on practically all the land
that was lined last season and it is
anticipated that the clover will show
up much better on the lined land
than on the unlimed land as nearly
all soil was acid.

Oat
Smut Control

IF every farmer in Jackson Coun-
ty who planted oats followed the
methods demonstrated by represent
atives of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture extension SER
vice, oat smut will cause no worry.
Last year Jackson County had more
than $4,000 acres of oats and the es-
timated smut over the county was
8 IL per cent. Figuring on the yield
of 80 bushels per acre the actual loss
of oats due to smut was 5000 BUSH
els. Valuing oats at 70 cents BUSH
el this woiuld mean that Jackson
County losa $4,000 from oat smut
alone last year. It is estimated that
the acreage this year will not be
more than 5000. However, if the
smut is as bad as last year a saving
of $4,000 will be made to the county
by seed treatment.

Poultry Cuning
Successful

That the experienced poultryman
can readily determine which hens are
drones is evident to hundreds of
farmers who have witnessed culling
demonstrations thruout Missouri
this last winter. This demonstrate on
is typical of results:
At the Greenwood farms, Jasper
County, T. S. Townsley. poultry ex-
tension specialist to the University
pf Missouri College of Agriculture
judged a flock of hens. Out of l3J
hens, 43 were rejected as loafers
The hens were kept separated for
seven days following the demonstra-
tion. No eggs were laid by the A
hens culled out, and the 90 hens left
lead Is eggs more than the entire
flock had laid during the seven days
preceding the demonstration.
What Mr.. Townsiey did at that
demonstration can be done by every
pouitryman if he will learn the sim
pie methods these demonstrators are
ready to teach. Reducing the poul-
try flock in the fall to include only
the layers, reduces the food cost OF
the eggs considerably.

War Savings Stamps
Save, the Day

Forced to move because his rent
ed house was sold over his head, a
government war worker had the
choice of giving up his job and leav-
ing Washington or buying home
for his family. Here is his story:
Il was short $l0O on the first pay
ment for very desirable little home
in nice neighborhood. Twenty
four War Savings Stamps, amassed,
| hardly know how, by the 25c thrift
stamp method, saved the day for my
family. I gave ten days notice at
the post office and got back every
cent I had paid, plus accrued month
ly interest, or Sl00 in all. l had to
cash the stamps but this was a real
emergency and the money enabled
me to continue my war work.
IF I had not bought these stamps
by foregoing foolish little expendi-
lures, .thse one hundred dollars would
have been dribbled away for trif-
fling things and I simply could not
have swung the deal.
"Just six months after / bought
the house was offered $1,200 more
than had paid for it.
"This l always think Of as prof
it of $1200 per cent on my w. S. S.
turn-araound fund which enabled US
to meet this difficult readjustment
50 comfortably.
"This you can bet that l am start
ing a new turn-around fund, which
may open up some other opportuni-
ty or be needed for some emergency.
Every quarter do not really need
at tn time goes into a thrift stamp
before it gets chance to become
foolish"
