IDITAROD PRODUCING STEADILY

There has beer. considerable activity in the ldItarod during l the past season and there is pn ough ground left thele to keep the old camp going for a numb CT of years yet, according to Joe Ulmer, trail blazer in the employ of the Alaska Road Com mission, who passed thru Anch orage yesterday on his way to Juneau to report on the work done by him during the last season in that remote section of the Territory.
 -, Two -dredgeS operated on Otter creek last season and it is unde rstood they will continue operations next spring. In addit ion, there will be a resumption of the usual mining activities on Flat creek.
 Regarding mining operations on Nixon Fork, in the Kuskok vim district, Ulmer reports that Ed Whalen who was associated with several others in the operat ion of the Treadwell quartz prop erty under lease, will operate the property alone neS~t season. They are reported to have done very we'll the last year.
 PiersCn and Strand, who are working adjoining ground also are understood to have done fairly we'll.
 Preparations are being made to operate the placer ground wh ich was located on Crooked creek by Dave Clough and associates. The discovery of pay on the creek over a year ago, created considerable excitement at the time, but prospecting has failed to revai. very extensive pay streak, the gold being confined largely to one claim. Clough dis posed of his interest in the pro perty some time ago.
 Ulmer expects to return to the Interior, after a short stay in Juneau.

NOTHING EVER HELPED -
Her LIKE KARNAk HAS

The entire upper portion of my body
would be as stiff AZ a board, and
would have to. stay up for two or
three hours until the cramps left me.
Why, it just seemed like my lungs
were being crushed in, and / could
hardly get my breath.
II became SO wornout and run
down that could hardly do any work
around the house. In spite of every
thing I could do, I kept getting
worse, and was simply alarmed over
my condition.
Il saw where Karnak was helping
so many others right in my own city
that didn't put off taking the medi-
cine any longer, and honestly, before
had finished the first bottle was
sleeping good, and had almost ceased
to be bothered at all with those awful
cramps. l kept improving steadily
until now, since taking three bottles
of the medicine, I am just like new
person. Why, ! get up every morn
ing feeling fine, and can just work all
day without feeling tired out. Kar-
max has simply toned up my whole
system, and has helped me like
never had anything help me before.
It's simply wonderful"
