MILL ARRIVES FOR
 NUKA BAY PROPERTY

E. w. Burnett arrived from Nuka Bay on the gasboat May, Capt. Chas. Emswiler, Saturday, and left on to- days train for Anchorage. MT. Bur- nett states that the new mill, of the Warrington ball type, is now on the Seward dock, having arrived on the steamship Alaska, and will be taken to Nuka Bay as soon as transporta tion can be arranged for. It was formerly planned to ship the mill from Seward on the Starr but owing to the vessels having capacity load, it will probably be shipped on the Redondo, unloaded on barge or raft, and taken to the property. MT. Burnett went to the bay to take in supplies. Chas. Barheiser, treasurer, and J. D. An drews, vice-president of the company, who have been to the states for the purpose of buying machinery, are re- turning passengers on the Alameda, sailing Saturday from Seattle. Capt. Foster. another member of the com panv, is spending the winter on the property.
 MT. Burnett had with him about ter dollars worth of gold which he banned from a small packload of ore, the gol( running about $19 to the ounce, be- ing unusually pure. He declares that about $20,OOO worth of ore is in sight and that the mine is unbelievab- l ly rich as the vein is stripped. With a mill on the property it will be de- velooed rapidly and will be one of the largest producers from all indications, ever started in this section.
 While no actual work has been done other than to strip the vein for about 120 feet, and sink a shaft about 12 feet, Mir. Burnett believes that it is vertiable bonanza, assays showing several hundred dollars per ton, and the rock being plastered with coarse gold and small nuggets. He stated that the property meant much to Sew ard, as the company would run large crew this summer, but so far appar- ently but little interest has been taken in Seward

COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL

Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious lung trouble. You can
stop them now. with Creomulsion, an
emulsi6ed creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with twofold action; it soothes
and heals the inHamed membranes and
kills the germ.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as the
greatest healing agency for the treat
ment of chronic coughs and colds and
other forms of throat and lung troubles.
Circumcision contains, in addition to
creosote, other healing elements which
sOothe and heal the inhamed men,
branes and stop the irritation and in
fiammation, while the creosote goes on
to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood. attacks the seat of the trouble
and destroys the germs that lead to
consumption.
Circumcision is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
and lung diseases, and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or

I was in the Canute diggings and

sit was very hard matter to get
there in those days-going across the
mountains and travelling the old Null
Ian road. When we arrived at Deer
Lodge the last man who came from
the Idaho diggings told us they were
overcrowded and that we would have
a good chance to prospect in this
country.
"On my way to Idaho I camped at
the mouth of the Blackfoot river and
while there a man named Crawford
wanted a butcher and hearing there
was one in our crowd came to me and
said they had discovered good camp
and he wanted to hire men, offering
me $25 a month and board. I &C
cepted the offer and he bought three
wild heifers and told me to drive
them to the new camp, a distance OF
1875 miles.
Crawford had the only horse and
so I had to drive the wild heifers to
Bannack. My only provisions on this
trip was a little dried meat and
crackers. I worked at butchering in
Bannack for one month at $50 and
board, and worked very hard. AT
the end of the first month Crawford
raised my wages to 500 per month.

1.-THE next spring a Methodist
preacher brought lot of pigs from
Salt Lake to Virginia City and /
bought them for $25 per head, and
took them to Summit. About a
month later I bought another lot
that was in the spring of ga. When

for them and could not keep them
"In the fall of ga I sold out my
shop in Alder gulch and went into
the business of buying cattle and fur
nishing the butchers. In the spring
of '65 I started a shop in Helena. In
the fall I bought lot of poor work
cattle and sent them down to Deer
Lodge to Craze. / put all of my
money into them. i bought all of
my cattle on time in those days
from week to 80 days-waiting for
the butchers to pay me.
II saw in the spring of IS that cat
tie were going to be scarce, and /
borrowed $4,000 of George Forbes
in Virginia City and with it bought
$4,000 worth of cattle from various
parties, paying enough down to make
the trades good. In the spring of IS
had all the beef in the country in
my hands. Flour at this time was
selling for $3.50 a pound. But I did
not take any advantage of it and
sold my beef at reasonable price.

cents per pound sold for % cents.
81 rode in those days many times
125 miles per day, keeping several
relay horses stationed about the
country. Afterwards I made an
other big purchase of cattle from the
San Joaquin valley, California, about
1900 head, paying s24 per head, and
made nice profit on them.

on my own resources.
81 bought some poor work cattle
that had been driven into the country
from Minnesota and took them to
Deer Lodge valley, where I traded
them off for beef cattle and got my
start in the cattle business in that
way. Another party came in with
20 head of steers and wanted to SELL
'rustled' around, borrowed the
money and paid him. I sent them
up on Grasshopper creek and the
following day the Chipeta Indians
took them all; they stole everything
in that country.
"Well, this put me head over heels
in debt. l kept on at my business
at Bannack, however, and went to the
man of whom I had borrowed the
money to pay for these cattle and
told him the only way for him to get
his money back was to loan me some
more, and I went to Deer Lodge and
bought a little herd of 20. 1t was
not a week before five head were
stolen by these Indians.
