THIS MAN’S BOSS IN HIS OWN HOME
Eureka! At lastjwe have found a male who is, by his own
admission, “Boss in his own home.” He is one Frederick G.
Hehr of Sayville, N. Y., and he makes the admission in a
letter to the Literary Digest in which he seeks to answer
the question of a Mrs. H. S. D. as to who kills off our men.
He says this answer is easy, and it is “Our dear women of
course,” and then goes on to say, “Let’s see what kills them
off prematurely.” Arid here is what Mr. Hehr has discovered:
“The man has put in a hard day’s work at office or shop.
Does he get rest when he gets home? Oh, no; wifie usumiy is
rarin’ to get out of the house. So poor hubby is rushed thru
a fast dinner, dressed up again and led to the slaughter of
‘Social Obligations.’
“Then there is the feeding. It does not matter whether
he walks less than a mile a day. and sits all day in a chair
wrestling phones, or works like a navvy, his food is the same
—unsuited to him. Even if he gets a night at home he gets
no rest. Either somebody drops in to spoil his peace or wifie
gets started on one of her marathon talks.
“If you want to keep your man, feed him properly. Let
him manage his own life. Let him develop his hobby. And
remember that he is the king-pin around which the whole
works turn.”
We pass this observation of a man “Who’s Boss in his
own, home” along to the married men and women
and ask them to read it carefully and then sit down and talk
it over to discover how much of truth or untruth there may
be.in^it. But we don’t Want to be present when the argu
ments start. We can think of more pleasant ways to spend
an evening.—Exchange.
It is said that a pessimist is one who finds a difficulty
in every opportunity, and an optimist is one who finds an op

Pilot Bob Reeve
Tells Of New
Gold Strike
Pilot Bob Reeve, of the Reeve Air
ways and Andy Thompson, sour
dough prospector and miner, believe
they have discovered and staked
what may be a second Klondyke.
The discovery is on a strip of land
extending out into the Columbia
glacier, and while it is surrounded
by ice hundreds of feet deep, it can
be reached by airplane and is but
a few minutes by air from the heart
of Valdez.
The outcroppings on the vein are
studded with high-grade ore, assay
ing nearly $2,000 per ton. In case the
outcroppings have depth the incal
culable richness cannot be ascertain
ed until a few tons of ore are flown
to Poy’s mill and the gold extracted.
The locators are ready to start
work at once, as soon as weather
conditions permit materials to be
flown to the property.
During the past week Pilot Bob
Reeve, accompanied by Paddy Fitz
patrick and Andy Thompson made
two flights to Columbia Glacier for
the purpose of obtaning a suitable
landing field on the glacier adjacent
to the mining claims own by Thom
pson and Reeve. ,
The property is located on a pen
insula extending west from the main
land into Columbia Glacier, and is
approximately three miles west of
the old Gold King mine.
On the first trip, due to lack of
sunlight, the party was unable to
spot a suitable field on the snow and
ice, so a landing was made approx
imately seven miles south of the pen
insula on1 the glacier, and taxied
with the plane to within a mile of
the claims, then proceeded on foot,
and succeeded in locating an excell
ent landing field within half a mile
of the property. Flags were put up
to mark the approach to the field,
after which the party returned to
Valdez.
New Field a Success
On the following day they again
flew to the glacier, this time land
ing on the marked field. The claims
were located without difficulty, and
holes were sunk in the snow to lo
cate the high grade veins spotted by
Thompson last fall, as it is the in
tention of the owners to get out sev
eral tons of high grade ore immed
iately and fly it to the Big Four
mine, and there mill it.
Large Vein Struck
While digging for the two veins
already known to exist, Paddy Fitz
patrick almost immediately struck a
much larger vein between two and
three feet wide, covered in the talus.
At first it was thought that it was
one of the original veins located, but
further examination disclosed that it
was a new discovery and several
feet away from the other veins. The
new vein is highly mineralized with
galena and iron pyrites and when
the theo pryites were later crushed
and treated with nitric acid by the
owners a gold content fully as rich
as the other high grade vfelfts was es
tablished beyond a doubt.
Showing Very Favorable
The showing is extremely favorab
le from a geological standpoint, the
veins being contact veins between
a porphyry dike and slate and ande
site country rock.
Assays already obtained by the
owners have established values of
$643 and $1932 per ton. They were
taken from a point about a foot wide.
Thompson also states that some for
ty odd veins in the dike, in addition
to the high grade veins, all carry
good values, according to the gold
pan. The porphyry dike rock Ulso
pans free gold —
Development To Start Soon
It is the intention of the owners
to start development work, erect the
necessary buildings, and start gett
ing out milling ore immediately. To
date the owners have been hindered
from landing by lack of visibility in
the vicinity of the property, but with
the lengthening days this obstacle
will no longer exist.
Claims Fairly Close to Valdez
Reeve states that it took them 30
minutes from the time they took off
from the Valdez airport to set foot
on the property—15 minutes in the
air, and 15 minutes on foot. Quite
a change from the old days when
such a trip would have consumed
a week’s time at the least, not to
mention the long climb and hard
ships involved.
