[ Conservative Mao Estimates
J Alaskau Output
i
William H. Parsons, manaeer of the
j Washington-Alaska bank, of Fairbanss,
! speaking at Seattle the other ?&y
I ! said:
j "Uoder the ruost adverse circumstane
j es the Fairbanks district will produce
between $10,000,000 and $12,000,000 in
gold this year," he says. "Another
estimate places it at $15,000,000.
' The output in 1904 was about $500,
: 000. In 1905 it wai $6,000,000 and in
1906 $9,2000,000. These are approx
imate figures. This year we are
reasonably sure of a proportionaie
increase. What next year will pro
j duce is problematical.
"All tae banking business of the
i Fairbanks district is done trough
| Seattle banks and that me;:ns as every -
I body knows, that all mercantile trading
i is dooe in the >ame place."
I Mr. Parsons said that gieat develop
[ ment was in progress l round Faiv
; banks. The city's fixed population now
i exceeeds ,\000 and the floating popua
; tion is very large at this time of the
year. Mr. Parsons explained that
j water was absolutely r.ecessary in
j washing out the ?o.d and that tais year,
owing to tne ice which had aciumu
1 lated in the mountains, the miners
expect plenty of water.
j "VVith 1.500 creeks it- the Fair
banks district flush with water you
I can rest assartd that the miners will
wash out plenty of golc." said Mr
| Parsons.

j^The Value
Tersonal Knowledgi
' j iff Personal knowledge is the winning factor in the culminating contests ot
'Jr this competitive age and when of ample charactcr it place* its fortunate
WJ possessor in the front ranks of
V The Well Informed of the World.
' A vast fund of personal knowledge is really essential to the achievement of the
highest excellence in any field of human effort.
A Knowledge of Forms, Knowledge of Functions and Knowl
edge of Products are all of the utmost value and in ..uestions of life and health
when a true and wholesome remedy is desired it should be remembered that Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the Califc mia Fig Syrup Co., is an
ethical product which has met with the approval of the most eminent physicians and ^
gives universal satisfaction, because it is a remedy of
Known Quality, Known Excellence and Known Component "
Parts and has woo the valuable patronage of millions of die WeU-lnformed of the
world, who know of their own personal knowledge and froir. actual use that it is the first
and best of family laxatives, for which no extravagant or unreasonable claims are made, i
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably Known
under the name of ? Syrup of Figs ? and has attained to world
wide acceptance as the most excellent family laxative. As its pure
laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the world to be the best we have
adopted the more elaborate name of ? Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna ? as more fully descriptive of the remedy,
but doubtless it will always be called for by the shorter
name of ? Syrup of Figs ? and to get its beneficial
effects, always note, when purchasing the full
name of the Company ? California Fig Syrup
Co. ? printed on the front of even' package,
whether you call for ? Syrup of Figs
? or by the fuB name ? Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna.
