Loe Oberdorfer, a well known min
ing man in Alaska, passed through
Cordova today en route to the out
side. He expects to return alniont
immediately.
lie says that there is 110 doubt that
Paul H. Lane, the son of C. L). Lane,
and Si Hayes, were drowned in the
Susitna river near the mouth of Devil
creek. The raft was fouiKi and 011
P two pair of overalls sold the men
by C. P. Morgan, of the Alaska Coiu
aiurcial company at Susitna station,
while the men were on their way to
Valdez creek.
J Mr. Oberdorfor said that 011 the
' way out he learned of a strike in
.Moose pass, about -To miles from
I Seward. The miners had traced a I
led go for the distance of ten miles
j until it finally ran into a swamp, j
| They are iookiug for it on the other
I side. Ho says samples have been
taken from the ledge which shows
I free gold, and if it carries any kind |
I of values it will be oue of the big- 1
' gest propositions in Alaska.
.Mr. Oberdorfer was accompanied by I
J. 11. Kossnian, a mining engineer of j
St. Paul, who examined properties
on Valdez creek for St. Paul parties. '
-Mr. Oberdorfer said he did not know j
what the report of the engineer
would be, but the latter liked the|
conditions enough to stay behind and
examine other creeks and properties
ii< the Susitna valley.
He said Valdez creek was a good
creek, but the cost o? getting supplies
made much of the ground prohibitive
to work. When conditions were more
favorable ii would bo a considerable
producer. Jlu said Warren -Merrill
was taking oui good pay ou his bench
and creek claims, and had struck a |
ledgo of quartz. The latter gave only
$:;u to the ton returns, but indicates
that there may be some good quartz
properties in that section. Aioiiahaul
Las taken out a good sum.
?Mr. Oberdorfer stated that the Clear j
Creek Mining company on Clear creel^
a tributary of Talkectna river, had
laid a lot of pipe preparatory for op
erations on an extensive scale. In
fact, mining operations, he said, in
many parts of the Susilna vally and
around Cook Inlet wore on a scale
such as gave one absolute faith in
the future of the country. He firmly
believes that section of Alaska will
become one of the greatest gold
camps in this northern country, ile
says the quartz in both quantity and
richness has already been discovered
and all that is now needed is proper
methods of transportation so that the
supplies can bo gotten in at a rea
sonable rate. ? Cordova North Star.
Skagway hail a touch of the real
thing in the "bargain counter rush"
line last Saturday.
Bolirends' store advertised a salt* of
23 and 75 cent wash goods for 10
cents a yard. Evidently the feminine |
portion of Skagway's population read
the adds in The Alaskan, for when
the sale opened at 10 o'clock in the
morning a "mere man" couldn't have
pried his way into the bunch with a
burglar's jimmy. At one time there
five baby carriages blocking tile door.
No one knows how many women
there wore Inside the store. Having
retired from active football practice
several years ago, The Alaskan re
porter didn't have the temerity to
enter.
Neither did Chief of Police Moore,
tut he stayed near tho entrance, ex
pecting to have to quell a riot, so
he says.
The sale lasted quick. With hats
disarranged and nrrns bulging with
bundles, one by one the triumphant
bargain hunters emerged and wended
the way homeward, weary but well
pleased. For the Joy of a woman
who has made a "bargain" passeth
all understanding.
Lynch and Kennedy also did a thriv
ing business Saturday morning owing
to aii advertised reduction in prices.
Mr. Lynch stated that his sales had
been doubled the past week.

III. ? Make a. Noise Like
a Dollar
The maa who gets ahead is the
one who makes a noise, and it's the
same with a town.
But it must be the RIGHT KIND
OF NOISE.
There arc millions of noises in the
world and only one kind worth
making. That's the kind a man
learned about when he tried to in
terview a great financier.
He had spent several days trying
to get into. the private office of the
old skinflint, but was always headed
off.
At last he went to a friend for ad
vice.
"I'll tell you what to do," said
the friend. "You go down and stand
in front of the old fellow's door and
MAKE A NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR.
When he comes out to grab you, that
will be your chance."
That's the kind of noise we should
make in this town.
We should sound like ready ;
money and look like it.
Nothing would bring new busi- ;
ness and hustling citizens quicker
than a NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR.
Every letter that goes out should be
an advertisement for our town.
If you don't know how to make a
NOISE LIKE A DOLLAR, just call
on us, and we'll try to help you.
One way is to advertise. When |
everybody gets to making the right
kind of noise it will be worth while
watching things boom.
KASTLE KERN NOTES.
Harold Bodine, of New York City
made tho ascent to Kastle Kern iu
one hour flat. What makes this time
cf. Interest is the fact that Mr. Bodino
tips the scale beam at exactly WO
pounds.
The following out of town people
visited tho Kastle during the past
week:? O. It. Fisher, Bautry, iN. L).
Samuel Baxter, Victoria, B. C., 11. 11.

John 1'. Boone, (70 years old), Clin
ton, ia., 11. A. ilarkins and wife,
Chief Engineer of S. S. Jefferson,
i'rotoue, 111.
A jolly party of Skagway young pe
pie made the trip up the hill, \\ ediics
i'ay evening and after taking the
Kastle by storm, indulged iu all kinds
o' pranks. One of the features of the
evening was the masquerading of sev
eral of the men folks, when they got
into .Mr. Svabotsky's property room,
and togged themselves out iu the "old
Sourdough attire which is a feature
o' the Kastle's curio display. While
the "actors were performing, the lad
ies popped corn and made fine coffee,
and tho entire party without a dis
senting ballot, voted Kastle Kern the
"Only place to have a real old fashion
tc jolly time."
Stop at the Dominion Hotel when i
SVhitehorse and get home cooking
and clean comfortable* beds.
