FAIRBANKS IN MIDST
 OF OLDTIME BOOM

Under a Washington D. C., date line of October 10, an Associated Press report says:
 With seven gravel dredges at work extracting gold in the vicinity or Fairbanks, Alaska, things are look ing up in the land of the prospector.
 Representative of the government owned Alaska Railroad reported to- day to the Interior Department that the installation of the dredges had revived the town of Fairbanks to such an extent that conditions border on boom times. One of three com panies operating dredges employs 700 persons, and the log cabins that have stood vacant since the gold rush of the early 1900's now shelter new types of gold diggers.
 Business activity in Fairbanks has stimulated the coal mines at Sun trana on the Healy River, which have increased their outputs to meet the needs of the dredge operations.

 IN THE SOLID SOUTH

AUGUSTA, Georgia - Josephus Daniels, former secretary of the navy under Woodrow Wilson, de- clared here last night that mo re- spectable southern Democrat would leave his party to vote for the Re- publican party in the government of his state; that any Democrat who votes the national Republican tick ct votes for corrupt and inefficient federal officers in this state and To- cality."
 ''The candidate of the Republican party today" he continued, "is the beneficiary of the pocket borough system of southern delegates. Hav- ing profited by this system there IS no reason to believe that he Will change it, for if Hoover is elected in November there is no question but that federal offices in the south will be parceled out as has been done during and since the recon struction."

Stikine Needs Prospectors

Dr. Forrest A. Kerr, of the Cana dian Geological Survey, arrived m Wrangell last week and took passage 10 Vancouver on the Princess Alice. Before sailing Dr. Kerr stated that during the past two seasons he has covered the country contiguous to the Stikine River from Telegraph Creek down to the Iskut. He says that almost everywhere he found evidences of naturalization and he thinks it most regrettable that there are practically no prospectors Tn the Stikine River section. He says that as soon as someone does make a strike prospectors will come Tn droves. Therefore the all-important thing is that enough prospecting be done for the initial strike to be made then prospectors will be as thick on the Stikine as they are in the Port land Canal district.

JOY MINES BREAK
 CAMP FOR SEASON
Hereafter This Company Will 0per- ate Under Name of Cassiar
 Hydraulic Mines, Ltd.

The past season has seen consid- erable development work on the property which has heretofore been known as the Joy Mines, Ltd. In the future this company will be known as the Cassiar Hydaulic Mines, Ltd. The right to use the new name was recently granted by the Provincial government at Vic toria, B. c.
 The property of this company is located 2A miles up <Dease Greek from Dease Lake in the Cassiar Dis trict in Northern British Columbia The property is an old channel which was worked by pick and shovel and by drifting in the '70s and 'S0s. There is no record of how much gold was taken from the property by hand methods in the early days, but all indications show that consider able work was done on the property at one time.
 A H. Bryant, we'll known mining engineer who has been general man ager of the company since its organ ization, arrived in Wrangell> on the Hazel B No Saturday evening. When seen by the Sentinel reporter MT. Bryant stated that the past sea- son had been devoted wholly to de- velopment work, which included the construction of a wagon road three quarters of a mile in length, also ditches, fumes, and trestle 450 feet in length and 46 feet high. Ap- proximately 32 tons of hydraulic pipe were taken in to the property the past season via Wrangell and Telegraph Creek, and practically all of this pipe is now in the ground.
 MT. Bryant states that the devel- opment work done thus far has all been highly satisfactory. The ditch was dug through clay which insures a good tight ditch. The power shovel which was used in constructing the ditch did the work of 75 men.
 Before coming out for the winter Mir. Bryant located another lease ad- joining the company's property on the upper end. This lease is 1900 feet in length and 2900 feet in width making the entire holdings of tts company $500 feet in length and 2300 feet in width and comprising two leases and two creek claims.
 MT. Bryant states that the work of completing the ditch will be started next season just as soon as the frost is out of the ground. When the ditch is completed three giants will be put in operation under 300-fooi head.
 In conclusion MT. Bryant stated that the property is turning out to be much better and greater in extent than he estimated at the time he as- stunned management. The cost of op- eration will be very low, and 1t is es- timated that at least 10 years will be required to work out this chan nel.
