On Evening Gulch. tributary to Sunset Creek, Gaffney and ODon- rell have done considerable pros- pecting. During the winter or 1921-22 these operators found ex- tensive pay and will prosecute their discovery further this winter. If tLeir prospecting demonstrates continuation of values as already found the Golden Ore Co. will ex- tend its big ditch line some 1700 feet and supply this gulch with ann ple water to successfully mine the property. Many years of work are before miners in this Gulch.

SILVER MINE TO BE OPERATED
 ON FISH RIVER

The Mmilak Silver Mines on Fish River, operated by the Seward Sii- yer Mines Inc., will be operated this winter by J. C. Green and as- sociates.
 300 tons of provisions and sup plies have been sent to the mine and the freight is being hauled from the landing on Fish River to the mine with a 5 ton Holt Caterpillar. The haul is over ten miles of soft tundra and when the freeze up comes the supplies will be hauled from Chinik. 40 miles distant.
 A crew of 25 men will be employ ed by the company. Power for the mine is supplied by an 1ngersoii- Rand Oil Engine.
 This mine was located in 1881 and is owned by J. c. Green and h1s son Harold, both of whom are at the mine taking active part ill the newly inaugurated development work.
 The mine was last operated in 1907. There are two camps estab- lished, one at the mine for the miners and the other at the foot Of the mountain, a distance of two miles, for freighting outfits, general offices. assay ofiice and saw mill.

SUCTION DREDGE MAKING
 RAPID PROGRESS

The Suction dredge in Snake river has struck her pace and is now making rapid progress. Until the last few days the dredge encoun- tered heavier dredging material than was anticipated and conse- quently slow headway was made. Within the last week the bed of the river has changed to a finer sediment, the kind for which the dredge was built. and she is now blowing right thru to her destina- tion, the outer bar.

SEWARD PENINSULA
 OIL FIELDS

The discovery of oil in the kotz- ebue section of Seward Peninsula bears promise of being one of the great industries of this section. This discovery was made by Nome men in a section bounded by Devils Mt. on the North and Midnight Mt. on the South and lying between Good Hope Bay on the East and Shismar- ieff Inlet on the West.
 The locations, 2S in number. were made last summer. Official oil per- mits have been granted on eight locations and have the unique dis tinction of being the first permits issued under the new law to any locators in NV. Alaska.
 The locators have formed an as- sociation for the purpose of devel- oping the claims on which permits have been granted. and active de- velopment work will be prosecuted on the properties next summer.
 Samples of the seepage shale and sands have been tested by the Salt Lake Refinery and the results of the tests show parafine base and oil of high grade. An analysis of the test is now at the office of Geo. D. Schofield, who is secretary of the X L Oil Syndicate. the name r,Cer which this group of locators have o-ganized.
 During the past summer J. F. Mathews. manager of the Behring Dredging Corporation, and G. A. Paxon. two of the locators. made a trip from the Kougarok River to the new oil fields for the purpose of obtaining additional samples of the seepage, shale and sand. which they are taking Outside to have an alyzed by other experts. In other words to check up the previous an alysis. MT. Mathews spent over a week on the expedition.
 In an interview Mir. Mathews states that the location cannot be excelled from a transp rtation standpoint. The X L Oil Locations are situated on the Nugnugaluktuk River. which empties into Good Hope Bay and is deep and navigable to the center of the X L Group. Good navigable water extends to the open sea from the mouth of the river making it ideal for bringing in 
 Northeast from the X L Group | about twenty claims have been l staked by Candle and Inmachuk | citizens.
 There is a vast area of this shale 1 belt and Mir. Mathews states there | is enough room for every man. wom- an and child on Seward Peninsula to stake claims"
 Geo. D. Schofield. secretary of the X L Oil Syndicate. with offices ir the bowman Bldg, Seattle, states that arrangements were made last | winter with Eastern interests to these properties during the past summer. but owing to a delay l in the issuance of the permits. ne- gotiations were temporarily sus- but will be renewed during l the coming winter.

 There is no means to prophecy | the value of this remarkable dis covery. but it is within the bounds of probability that the immediate future holds in store for this section an Eldorado surpassing the marvel ous riches of Nome's historic beach | lines.

BOULDER GREEK SECTION

] On Boulder Creek the Golden
 Ore Mining Company, Geo. s. | Thomas manager. had an unusually l successful year. ranking their Op- erations and returns second to the Hammon Con. Gold Fields on Little Creek.
 Piping into boxes with hydraulic giants was the method employed and several new pay streaks were uncovered.
 The properties being worked were fC rmerly controlled and operated
 by the D. A. M. Co. of Aberdeen, s.
 D.. who sold their interests to the Golden Ore. Only twelve men
 were employed but the returus
 were large.
 The gold is mainly found in .
 limestone formation and in some
 instances it has been necessary to- go 9 feet deep into the bedrock to make full recovery of the gold and
 also to make preparations for fu- ture workings farther up the creek
 It is well known fact that the unworked ground on the left limit of Boulder is valuable piece or ground and up to the present time has been untouched to permit other ground to be removed for tailing space and to provide depth or fall for complete recovery. Next year this company should from all indi- cations exceed by far their this years handsome cleanups.
 The same sompany has had A Keystone Drill employed drilling on their Monument Creek proper ties and revealed a paystreak a0S feet wide extending from No. to No. Il Below on Monument and averaging a depth of fifteen feet Next year this ground will be open cut mined. as it is good hydraulic 6ng proposition. The Company owns the high line ditch above the property and will have ample water for their operations. The ditch IS an extension of the Boulder system which can readily be diverted into this creek.
 On Bangor Creek the company had three men drilling and also dis- covered good pay in the bencnea which will be hydraulicked neH year. "
 Creek claims on Bangor are con trolled by this company and will be included in next years work. It will be recalled that Bangor was one of the heavy producers in for mer years and is not worked out as this company will demonstrate.
 The Golden Ore Company owns all water rights on the right limit of Snake river from the head down and controls eight different rights W hfclf are: North Fork. the Last Chance. Bangor, Butterfield, Twin. Boulder. Sledge and Monument. The company purchased the Capt. Johnson ditch extending from tho North Fork to Bangor. including Last Chance. From the Arctic Mining and Milling Company of New York the G. o. c. purchased the Bangor ditch and from the Da- kota Alaska Mining Company of S. D., acquired the Twin and Boulder ditches. The Sledge ditch and water right was obtained from the Columbia Mining Co.,, Inc.
 Over s50O,000 in gold has been taken from Boulder and Twin Noun tain creeks in past years and the Golden Ore Company expects to take out many thousand more be- fore the creeks are worked out.

One spring n few years ago when llv-
Ing In Kansas City 1 found It ad-
visable from health point OF view tc
figure on spending tho summer out IN
tho open. The problem presented Itself
as to how l could thus spend the sum
NOR vacation in the cheapest manner
possible. ono plan after another was
considered and found impracticable
Just as / was beginning 10 despair OF
solving tho problem to my complete
satisfaction. l received a letter from a
friend In the country nearby telling me
thar he was planning trip overland
by wagon TO the mountains OF Colo
RADIO and asking me to join him.
I knew that ho had a serviccable
wagon and four good mules and l had
camped out enough TO know tho cost
Of living as / would wish to live IL
order to receive the greatest possible
benefit from the health standpoint. So
after n hasty calculation to be sure
that my spare money would be suffi-
cicnt for the summer / wrote him
that l would join him In two days.
Immediately on my arrival at my
friends house We set to work to get
our outfit in shape FOR the trip.
Our wagon was the usual farm lum-
bcr wagon with box two boards in
height. on top of the box we built n
frame extending n foot on either side
OF the wagon. on this frame we laid
II pair of ordinary bed springs on
which our bed could be spread In rainy
weather when we could not comfort
ably sleep outside. The space under
the bed we used for storage purposes.
To the sides OF this bed frame We
nailed the wagon bows over which We
spread n rain proof canvas wagon
sheet or tarpaulin. fastened with draw
strings at each end and our covered
wagon or prairie schooner, as such an
outfit was called in the western couu-
try was complete. with sails spread for
tho trip.
For our further convenience however
we nailed to tho rear end OF. the wagon

We had never at any time made amy

our sole idea at first was to DRIFT

no time was our destination SO dcfi-

reason might not replace II With an na-

lack of definite plan is one Of the most
attractive features Of this modr uf

trail along tho Republican river and
followed this trail into Denver. We
aimed to drive about thirty miles a
day, but whenever VIC found n camp
ground that especially pleased our
fancy we were apt as not to stay
over for n few days until inclination
again called for n change. Thus. driy-
ing our teams day about In nice
weather and both teams together when
wo had heavy roads. we reached Dem
Yer after three weeks travel.
From Denver we driftcd to Colorado

big hills to the west whore We spcrt

scenery and camping where the trout
fishing was good, remaining In one
place only so long as interested. Our
conveyance was always at hand and
a days drive would furnish us with en-
tircly now surroundings.
When We left Colorado SPRINGS we
had planned in lazy indifferent sort

citation ut It's annual meeting here.
The establishment OF motor truck

mun!ty will stimulate the production
of ore food. reduce the cost OF living
and probably will make public mar
kets successful in American cities" he
continued.
Continuing he declared, industrial
revival Is being retarded. We are told,
because OF tho agricultural situation.
When the farmer can't buy. the manu-
facturcr can't sell. The farmer cam I
buy because hc IL forced to carry n
large surplus OF his products. Check

and no place TO dispose OF 1t.

Depreciating tho fact that the farm
or has been held up as the nations

that tho farmer is no worse off than
men I'm other lines OF business and is
better off than many. Tho farmer
hc continued. "altho still far from
