OPERATIONS ON
MOOSE CREEK START SOON

Dr. J. A. Sutherland, C. N. Christ
ensen and a number of others ex-
pect to get away for the kantishna
this evening on the Wigger power
boat, to begin active preparations
for hydraulic operations which will
be initiated on Moose creek. DR..
Sutherland and his associates con-
troll large area of ground on Moose
and two or three other streams
in that part of the Kantishna dis
trict, including Eureka and Friday
creeks.
The first work will comprise the
movement of about 40 tons of equip
ment and supplies from the mouth
of the Tolovana river, up the Kan
tishna river to Roosevelt and thence
over the summer trail to Moose
creek, where about 20 tons were
landed last fall. 1t will also be
necessary, before actual mining can
begin, to build about three miles of
ditch and hydraulic rams for the
storage of the water needed for
the nozzles. DR.. Sutherland is con-
fident, however, that all this work
can be done during the early sum-
mer and that the water will be
ready to turn into the ditch by the
first of August, if not earlier. He
is hopeful of making several clean
ups before the season ends.
The party leaving Nenana this
evening will be met at Tolovana by
Sylvester Howell, who is interested
in the enterprise, and later in the
season Carl Selberg, another mem
Der of the company, will join the
party,
The company already has several
teams in the Kantishna, and another
team will be taken along tonight
for use in moving the outfit to the
diggings from Roosevelt. The party
will include ten men.
Moose creek is in the heart of
the Kantishna district, close to the
rich Aiken galena mine and the
other lode properties which give
promise of largescale development
in the near future.

rains last night and today have in
undated this district and caused a
further spread of the worst flood
this section has ever experienced.
Thirty thousand acres in the Grande

Suppose a banker would agree to
place $4,000 to the credit of a
mans family, issued a pass book to
the family and agreed to let them
check out the full amount if the
man died at any time during the
next twenty years, provided he
would deposit in the bank 500
every year; with the further guaran-
tee that should the man live to the
expiration of the period, the banker
would allow HIM to check out the
money, and, in addition thereto, al
low him the interest earned on this
class of deposits. Wouldn't that be
a pretty good proposition? It would,
but no banker could safely make
the offer-yet, that is in effect the
offer the New York Life Insurance
Company makes. See R. S. Melon

He's gone into the plumbing busi-

But the champion swimmer hasn't
given up the water sport.
IL just happens that he's devoting
more Of his time this winter to FIX

Ross. who is holder OF many cham

six different countries, thinks that
more people will swim in 1921 than
ever before.
"They are learning that swimming
Is good for them," he says.
Swimming Is wholesome. IL Is the
best exercise for the ordinary man or
woman.
