from that property in the discovery of ledge on the Matt Raich claim be- lieved to be the extension of the Mable vein. Harry Lander made the find while doing assessment work, but re- ports no values in the pan, although the rock may assay.
 ores to date indicates that it will be necessary to add concentration to the present milling facilities to secure al! the values. It is known that rock sometimes running as high as $500 per ton will plate but fifth of that amount, sufficient to justify milling but deferring the securing of all val ues until a future date when devel- opment of ore shoots at lower level will prove the wisdom of installing e1- pensive additional milling facilities.
 LONGER AN EXPERIMENT
 However, the values now obtained and the success of the prospective working indicate that Willow creek is no longer an experiment but a com- ing great mining camp.
 Twenty-one mines and prospects showing pay at surface have been opened or are being opened in the dis trict These include the Gold Bullion, the Lucky Shot, the Martin mine, the Don Rae, Independence, Mable, New Mable prospect, Consolidated mines, Drumheller, Bob Hatcher, Don Rae Prospect, Dave Skarstad, Home Build CTS. John Burr prospect, Mike Sherry prospect, Ole Jensen prospect, Little Gem prospect, Webfoot prospect, Lorg Holland prospect, Le Roy, Gold Coin and Cornucopia prospect.
 With additional facilities for getting up timber and mine essentials Willow creek bids fair to emerge in the spring one of the permanent big things of Alaska and next season should have several hundred men at work on de- veloping veins that appear permanent, deep-seated and highly prolific in values.

pay shoot some two feet in width in vein as yet not cross-cut from wall to wall, but which shows more than twenty feet of magmatic material in the present workings. MT. Skarstad is taking in material for a camp and will continue his workings this winter. This vein serves to indicate the pres ence of veins along the lower escarp- ments of the grano-diorite batholith series and will serve to encourage deep tunnels to supplant the workings perched high up on the hills, neces- sitating trans and inconvenience in taking up supplies.
 MABLE MILLING HIGH GRADE
 The Mable mine, being operated by Horning and Bartholf, is working small force, taking out some excep- tionally rich rock, which is being run through the Denver and Staurb mills and plated. However, only a small percentage of the rock is free, and big values are going into the tailings dump to be treated later. A small re- grinding arastra has been put in an' more of the values will be saved by this method. Mr. Horning stated that he had cut one streak of pay that ran several hundred dollars to the ton and specimens of this rock confirm the pronouncement.
 DRUMHELLER MILL
 Among the nov machinery going in this winter is the Drumheller mill, which will start on several hundred tons of high-grade rock, and which should be completed in time for begin ming operations early in the spring. The wagon road connecting with the Wasilla-F -Fishhook inn road has been cleared of boulders and partly graded from the inn to Archangel and Fair angel creeks, and teaming is now pos sible along these creeks. Paul Han son is grading and building a short StretCn or FOdQ up heeu CIeGh over which to convey his compressor out fit, preparatory to beginning his de- velopment tunnel. With the road i'm provements to date it is possible to leave Anchorage at 2:15 D. m. and be conveyed by automobile stage from Wasilla to almost any portion of the district by nightfall, as against weeks of travel by the old route through Knik The roadway has been gray eled and made suitable for automobile from Wasilla to Fishhook inn and the miners and prospect owners are loud in their appreciation of this boon.
 A freighting camp is being estab- 'ished at the forks of Reed creek, and the roadway leading up Archangel o~nek and accessibility to that portion of the field is now possible with cor respondingly increased facilities for mining.
 Another important find on the Mable contact has been made southwestward

WILL TUNNEL TO BIG DEPTH
 SEEKING VEIN

Due to accessibility by roads enabl- ing the taking in of needed supplies and equipment, seven prospective miles will operate during the win another mill will be added to those al ready installed. Among the major operations and one that promises to spring the catch for tremendous boom iii the district is the driving of a thousand fCOt tunnel from the Brooklyn claim of the Gold Bullion holdings to connect up other proper ties. This tunnel, according to Gen. eral Manager Budd, will cut the for nation at a vertical depth of fifteen hundred feet, and accepting the prog nostication of Dr. Alfred s. Brooks and other eminent engineers, this working should serve to prove the existence of deep-seated veins Should this be the case Willow creek will become one of the greatest quartz camps of Alaska, says the Anchorage Times.
 MANY NEW VEINS
 Owing to lack of adequate capital by many prospect owners progress in developing known ore bodies has been slow, but the present season has served to reveal many new veins with high grade ores only awaiting fur ther exploration to make them big pro- ducers. As surface development pro- gresses a great network of perfectly conforming veins has been revealed, showing values from the grass roots. On the Home Builders property, owned by Richter and Hanson, five veins have been opened on the west side of Reed creek, two of which are six and eight feet in width at surface. and both showing good values, and others ranging from two to three feet. These veins have been stripped for several hundred feet and give indica- tions of proving big finds. The own CTS contemplate driving tunnel to cut the larger veins, equipment for which has been ordered in the form of compressor.
 DISPLAY OF FAITH
 One of the prettiest workings in the district, and marked display of faith and energy is the Skarstad tunnel, the second lowest prospect in the district. Alone MT Skarstad has driven ap- proximately 250 feet and has opened a

ARE You INTERESTED?

The Star in this issue is printing
 the list of Delinquent Lands, Lots
 etc. in Polk county unredeemed on December 1921, all being property sold for taxes for the years 1919 and
 1920. s sgez efss 4 In the case of those delinquent for 1919, this practically is the last not ice to the effect that the date on i which the former owners may redeem their property is near at hand. In fact, this final date of redemption is the second Monday in June, 1922 Those delinquent in 1920 have until 1928 for redemption.
 Under the Arkansas law no provi- sion is made for giving such warning to property owners save by the posting, in various precincts, of such list about the time of the annual tax collection. This method, long since antiquated, is made even less effec- tuaI by the law now in effect, which requires all taxes to be paid at the collectors office in the county seat.
 The present county judge and sheriff collector, as have some of their predecessors, realize that this is important to many taxpayers, and that therefore the best possible pub- licity should be given, regardless of the failure of the law to so provide. They know that sometimes, by error or oversight, an owner might believe his taxes had been paid when they were not, or some payment had been credited to the wrong tract.
 To nonresident owners, who have no chance at all to see the posted not ices, the risk of loss is even greater.
 For these reasons the officials des- ignated have expressed the wish that The Star print the unredeemed list, and this being done for the protection and benefit of the readers without of the pay that should, all concede, be a just part of the 
 But perhaps some property owner may thereby save his holdings, and if so the service will be worth while.

FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

In the usual place in this issue will be found the formal announcement of W. L. Parker for the office of County and Probate Judge of Polk county.
 MT. Parker, in making this an- nouncement, does so with very def mite ideas as to the responsibilities of the place and how he expects to per form the duties should he be elected. One of his first declarations is that when it comes te taking care Of coun- ty funds he will know neither friend nor enemy, but will allow just and legal claims without delay or quibble, but will resist the paying of unjust or illegal accounts to the utmost. He believes he has plans, based on long years of study of road building in Alabama and Arkansas, that will en- able him. from the funds now sup piled, to make all main travelled roads good roads, and keep them good. He will oppose making any but perman- ent improvements except in emer- gency cases.
 Mir. Parker, as is generally known, has come up to his present position as circuit clerk thru the office of assess or and county clerk, and these years of service have put him in very inti- mate touch with county business of all kinds, and he says he realizes that the job of county judge is one that will take his best efforts every day of the year, and if he is elected he pro- poses to be on the job each day with the will to do all that is to be done with as few mistakes as humanly possible.

ROADS AND TAXES.

Statistics compiled by Commission CT Herbert R. Wilson show expendi- lures of s21,356,137 on Arkansas roads in 1921. The pitiful thing is that doubtless fully half of this vast sumw as wasted by inefficient work and other waste. It is believed, however, that with the big war over and accompanying the general re- adjustment of the country's affairs will come an era in which the people will look more closely and more ef- fectively after their governmental af- fairs. The pendulum of careless spending has swung far one way, and it should and will swing back. And this thought should be kept in mind: Taxes are not burden if the people receive full value for what they pay. It is the failure to so receive that makes the burden heavy.

Inexpensive Presents Attract Much
 Attention-0ther Plans.
 That Santa Claus had some able and willing assistance in Polk county | this year is the opinion of the home demonstration agent, whe hss been giving demonstrations during the two weeks proceeding Christmas, in making candy and dolls. These doils jhave proven immensely popular for three good reasons-thsy are ifiex- pensive. easily made and pnDreak- | able. M A
 These dolls are made from mems socks. one sock furnishing material for an entire doll. except the head which must be made of white. When completed they are quite charming dollies, to the little people, anyway, and at every demonstration where these dolls were shown, at least one person expressed the intention Cf Cf making one or more. The doll shown at these meetings was made and dressed at cost cf twenty cents.
 At one school where doll making was given, it was suggested to the children that if there were poor children in the neighborhood not likely to have much for Christmas, that it would be nice for the school to make dolls for those unfortunate ones. The teacher immediately said she would furnish the socks and the children the cotton and they would spend one afternoon before Christmas making dolls. She expressed thanks for the suggestion and lesson that had taught them how to make something at small enough cost that they could make others happy.
 The sock doll idea came to us from Miss Griffin, state sewing specialist, who was in Polk county with your home demonstration agent two weeks ago. As it was something new and the time until Christmas so short, it was not possible to show it all over the county in that time. If there are others who would still like to know how to make these dolls, your agent will be glad to demonstrate to you any time.
 Much good and useful information in sewing, cooking, home beautifca- tion, etc, will reach the women of Polk county thru the womens home demonstration clubs during the year. Four clubs organized during the past year are to continue the work this year and other neighborhoods are planning to organize soon. This should not be put off from week to week, but if you want to have club for women in your neighborhood, get all the women you can to meet and start a permanent club and the home agent will meet with you once each month on a regular day and give you all the help possible to make it not only interesting but profitable. Get the club in your neighborhood started now and begin with the new year to work with the agent for bet ter homes in Polk county.

FOR COUNTY TREASURER

In the usual place in this issue will be found the formal announcement of Judge Wright Prickett as a candidate for the office cf Treasurer of Polk county.
 It is with genuine pleasure that The Star makes this announcement, first, because it is further evidence that the judge is, after long illness, coming back getting into the game of life and, second, because it is be. lieved that the people of Polk county will gladly give support to a man who has served them we'll in the past, has always been ready to champion the right as he saw it, and, more, is fully qualified by experience, training and education to perform the duties of the office.
 Judge Prickett is so well known. both in official life and as an earnest. for ward-looking citizen, that it seem, useless to enter into further detail in this instance.
