ITS ALLRIGilT
Governor Swineford Tells
Dawson About Ketchikan
Dawson, July 13? Southeastern Alas
ka will be one of the most prosperous
parts of Alaska on permanent lines
This is the prediction of A. Swineford,
former uovernor of Alaska, who is
visiting Dawson. Mr. Swineford says:
"Having lived in Southeastern Alas
ka for 21 years, I am somewhat ac
quainted with its resources, and enough
so to believe that that region is one of
the richest and will he converted into
one of the most productive of the
North.
"Ketchikan, since lyOU, has grown
into acenrer of great importance. It
slatted with scarcely a house. Today
it has a population of 1,200, and is !
growing. It already is the center of a
copper and gold mineral region sustain
ing two smelters near Ketchikan. Only
7."> miles away i> I'ort Simpson, where
the Grand Trunk l'acilic i> to build the
tine new city. T.?e exploitation of that
region by the tirand Trunk, although
on the other side of the line, will give
K tchikan a quick outlet to the soutb- J
wtftl by rail, and much of the attention
attracted to that region will oveillow to
the American side. Ketchikan will be
a large city. It has an enviable future.
Fisheries, timber lands and small farm
ing are among the attractions of the
region other than mining.
"I believe the mines of Southeastern
Alaska are sufficient to make Ketchi
kan another Butte. One if the smelt
ers nea Ketchikan now has a capacitv
of 2.x) tons a day. The other has a I
capacity of 400 tons a day. All the
material being worked there corncs
fiom the Ketchikan region with the ex
ception of some fluxing ores from the
British Columbia side."
A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep
tical of It* Truth.
If there is the slightest doubt In the
minds of' any that Dandruff germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit irtnoculated with ihe
gfrais became bald in six weeks* time.
It must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
baldness is the destruction of the germ? ? 1
which act is successfully accomplished
In one hundred p^r cent, of case* by
the application of Newbro's Herpicide. '
Dandruff is caused by the same germ
whJch causes baldness and can be pre- j
vent.-d with the same remedy? .Vewbro's i
Herpici.U.
Accept no substitute. "Destroy the
cau?e you remove the effect."

MAGNETIC ORE
AT DAWSOR
i Dawson, July 13? In cleauing up th<
| wells and sluice boxes on the Allls
j Chalmers dredger yesterday, a mos
perfect specimen of magnetic ori
| was found. Seldom is the natura
I product so marked in its charateristics
Though worn to a round pebble on<
| iuch by one-half by three-quarters, tb<
I specimen retained so strong' polaritl
the accompanying black sand was helt
to it and picked up like great blacl
ropes. Touching any steel object, th<
strong magnetism was immediately im
parted, but seemingly without loosing
any of its own.
Magnetic ore occurs in- extensive
beds and is met with in granite, gneiss,
mica schist, clav slate, syenvte, horc
I blene and chlorite schist. *
4 000 MILES TO
MARRY A YLIKONER
Four thousand miles over land and
sea, to the land of the sub-Arctic, to
marry the man of h?r heart's desira
is the accomplishment of Mtss Frac
kear, who has just reached Dawson
from her old home in Chatham, N. B.
The happy man is Joseph Welsh of
Last Chance. Joseph came into the
north years ago, seeking gold, and
kept warm within his heart the mem
ory of a charming maiden in his old
home town. No; long ago he decided
that the uoke was fat enough for two,
and sent the letter containing the ten
der invitation. The young lady was
not long in getting ready, and when she
started she let no grass grow under
her feet. The trip from Chatham to
Dawson was made in the quick time of
fifteen days. ? Dawson News.

The Eye
U'e are right in the midst of the

for it might be a defect in your own

To hjive A GOOD EYE is one of the
most valuable things a person can
possess in life, and to hare A GOOD
