John Hajdukovich, proprietor of the McCarty road house and well known prospector on the Upper Panama, ar rived in Fairbanks last week. MT. Hajdukoyich states that Jack Single ton and partners have found prospects on a tributary of Boundary creek. It is probable that a new mining secti"n will open up there, once the freight rates and the cost of supplies can be reduced. He says that the greatest drawback to that country is the mail and supply service. There is no trans portaton on the upper Tanana and they receive mail only once month. People from that district have to go to the Canadian side to Stewart. on the White River, to get supplies; and to show the high cost of living MT. Hajdukovich stated that flour cost them $30 a hundred pounds.
 The miners and prOspectors or the Upper Panama, according to Hajduho- vich, are very anxious to have the government establish mail route starting from Fairbanks and running on the Richardson road as far as Me Carthy and from there on to TanaDa Crossing giving mail service to about forty white people and approximate ly 225 Indians, covering a distance of about 225 miles. The mail now comes by way of Chicken creek over a dis tance of about $50 miles and only ac- commodities about forty people,

MT. and Mrs. E. Coke Hill were Ne mana arrivals last week from the lower river, being en route from Ruby to Fairbanks and the outside. They started up the river on a gas boat but were compelled to complete the voy- age to Nenana on the army transport General Jacobs, and arrived here in time to catch the train for Fairbanks. MT. Hill reports that considerable min ing is in progress back of Ruby in what is known as the Poorman dis trict and that the output for the sea- son probably will reach the $100,000 mark. The fur catch in that section also has been good with the result that conditions at Ruby are fairly prosperous.

Arrivals on the Kerns fishing boat report the mysterious disappearance of an unidentified launch on the Tan ana river near Hot Springs. The launch was sighted some distance !p- stream, headed down, but disappeared from view before meeting the fishing boat and it is feared it may have met with some mishap. There was a slough through which the launch might have passed and in that way missed the Kerns boat, but it is thought the water in the slough was too shallow to permit navigation. The matter has been reported to the fed eral authorities.

Gordon Springbett has arrived in Dawson from Chicken creek, on the Forty-mine river. He is en route to Mayo, after having been twelve years on the Forty-mile. MT. Springbett padded down the Forty-mile with his thirty-foot canoe. The craft is fitted with an air propeller and special 10- horsepower motor for driving it. The trip from the mouth of Forty-mile to Dawson was made with use of that de- vice and an average of seven miles an hour made against the current. The swiftest bluffs and points in the river were negotiated without difficulty. The equipment formerly was on a larger boat. MT. Springbett will take the canoe and air propeller attach ment to Mayo, but owing to the lack of gasoline supply en route will take the outfit up on a steamboat.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Otter
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmers Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease.
DIR. kilmer's Swamp Root is On sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer Il Co., Bingham
ton, N. y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

weakness, debility, anemia and general lack Of

'EAR PROFITEERING IN COAL

not spoken for some time. When
President Harding visited the New
Hampshire summer home Of the sec
rotary Of war last year it was noticed
that Mr.. Mccall, a near neighbor Of
Mr.. Weeks. was not invited TO meet
the president. The only time Mr.. Nc
Call saw President Harding in New
Hampshire was the day the president
made his public address in the village
of Lancaster, when Mccall mingled
with the crowd gathered in the park
to greet the chief executive.
The feeling between Weeks and Nc
Call began some years ago, when Nc
Call was defeated for the senate by
Weeks. For days the legislature
wrestled with the problem of choos-
ing a successor to the late Senator
Crane, who resigned owing to failing
health. The honor was contested for
by a half dozen republicans. On the
twenty second caucus ballot in that
memorable contest. Mccall led the poll
with 73 votes-two more than Weeks
but not enough to nominate. That
was on q, Friday and the legislature
adjourned until Monday. When the
caucus re-assembled, John W. Weeks
received 81 votes on the thirty first
ballot. Ninety -four was necessary for
a choice and in due course of the
legislative proceedings, Weeks was
elected as Cranes successor. Mccall
never congratulated Weeks on his
election to the senate. The breach
