Fairbanks Miners
 Take Over Golden
 Horn Qnartz Mine

Mining in the Iditarod will be put on a year around basis soon, if the efforts of Gustus Johnson and Joe Martin. mining men of Fairbanks, turn out successfully.
 The two have taken the Golden Horn" mine there and are busily en- gagged in exploration work, accord ing to advices reaching here recently.
 The Golden Horn was discovered long ago, but earlier attempts to put 1t on a paying basis did not turn out so well. However, Johnson and Mar tin, both experienced miners, and hard rock men and both formerly of Fairbanks, saw possibilities in sit and is said that the work done to date has justified their faith. They have five or six men working at the mine this winter.

MANY RUSH INTO TOGIAK BAY AND
 EEK RIVER AREA

The news of the recent strike at Togiak Bay, over the hill from Good news Bay, and in the direction of Dil- lingham, is the cause of quite 8 rush from various points in Alaska, ac- cording to recent arrivals from Beth el.
 Now on the heels of this stampede comes the word that some reindeer herders have made a rich find of placer gold up on Eek River. Eek River flows into the Kuskokwim Riv- CT further up the bay and nearer the mouth of the KuskolIwim and just below Apokak.
 W. D. McVeigh of Bethel sounds the warning against any stampeders coming into this section unless they are properly equipped for rigorous weather, and have with them suffi- cient supplies to see them through until the arrival Of the steamer ser- vice next summer.
 vice hext summer.
 It is a difficult country to travel in, and hard country in which to sink prospecting haft. The ground is wet and swampy and a prospecting party should be equipped with light weight placer drill with which to seek bedrock.
 Quite a number of parties have ar rived already, it is said, and gone to their various destinations, but a. this time no reliable reports verify ing the authenticity of the reported finds are available. Oldtimers of this section who are familiar with the formation and the country, are confident that this district only needs intelligent prospecting to develop in to one of the richest placer sections in all of Alaska, producing both gold and platinum, but intending stam-- peders would do well to first De sure of the authenticity of their informs tien, and if they ao decide to make the trip, to come prepared in all ways.

RAILROAD MUST CLOSE IF FUNDS
 NOT AVAILABLE

The memorial passed by the Ter ritorial Legislature asking Congress, for $764, ,000 for the rehabilitation of the AIaskaRailroad was cut down to, $20O.OO0 by Congress, Delegate Di- mond informed the Legislature this. week.
 In appealing for the original ap-, propriation Dimond told Washington officials that "2oo,0O0 wouldn't more than pay the cost of one of the three new steel bridges needed. The rsil- road is badly in need of new bridges. snowsheds, trestles, re-tieing, and re- placement of rails. In fact, the rail- road was never completely finished, "' Dimond said. If enough money is not appropriated to put the railroad i to shape, it will have to close 1cwn' as i is getting unsafe to travel. The Raihoad is .he main artery [ Alas ka and is necessary in the deve: rp- ment of the country" the De,ega.s continued.

Kennecott Mine Will
 Close Permanently Tn
 TWoiY Say Heads

Hopes that the famous Kennecott mine. out of Cerdova would resume operations on big scale as a result the recent meteorie rise insthe. price of copper, have gone a-glfmmering with the announcement made by Kennecott officials this week that the mine would be-closed permanently within the next two years
 The present bodies of ore will be worked out in that time and new bodies have not been found.
 The Kennecott Corporation has been doing some intensive prospect ing in the immediate area, but. failed to locate bodies in sufficient amounts to justify further work.
 The Copper River Railroad will also shut down with the closing of the mine.

The English equivalent OF
"shashlick" is charcoal broiled."
According to Captain George,
handsom headwaiter at the
Troika, the legend of shashlick
begins centuries ago in the eau
caSian mountains in the part OF
Russia known as Georgia. Used
by the mountain men, hunters
and warriors of the region, shaSh-
lick was a species of picked
lambs meat literally devoured by
them because it was easy to pre-
serve while on long trips and
forays into the mountains.
The meat was first picked in
lemon juice, salt. pepper, and
other spices and placed in the
hunters bags. At night over the
campfire, it was placed on the
edges of the mems swords and
barbecued over the open fire. 1t
soon became a national delicacy,
