ROAD OFFICIAL
TOLD OF NEED
W. H. WAUGH IS ENTERTAINED
AT LUNCHEON BY BUSINESS
MEN OF ANCHORAGE.
IMPROVEMENTS ARE PROMISED!
Attention Will Be Given Immediately!
to Certain Stretches of Highway i
That Are Essential to Welfare of
Agricultural Interests.
A representative body of Anchorage
business men and government officials
gathered at the Mint Grill yesterday
noon and by the persuasive powers of
hospitality endeavored to impress
upon W. H. Waugh, chief highway
engineer of the department of agri
culture, the pressing need of good j
roads in the immediate vicinity of
Anchorage.
Mr. Waugh has been in Anchorage
three days and has had this necessity
brought to his attention from every
angle. At the luncheon yesterday he
said he realized the importance of
good roads for this rapidly growing
community.
Mr. Waugh is located at Juneau :
and smiled good naturedlywhen the
suggestion was made that he move to
Anchorage. His department has $93,
000 at its disposal and he has jurisdic
tion over all trails and wagon roads:
situated within the Tongass and Chu
gach forest reserves.
The government is very particular
in every department and Mr. Waugh
frankly admitted that it was onlyj
through the slow coil of red tape that
any funds could be made for
road conditions in this vicinity. He in
timated, however, that temporary re
lief might be granted the numerous
farmers in the Eagle river settlement,
that he would do what he could to
bring this about in the near future.
Judge Leopold David preceeded Mr.
Waugh and briefly mentioned what a
decided asset good roads were to a
community and what a great help
good roads were in building up a com
munity.
WORK STARTS ON
LARGE WAREHOUSE
BANK OF ANCHORAGE WILL
ERECT STRUCTURE CAPABLE
OF STORING 2,000 TONS.
, The Bank of Anchorage has start
ed the erection of a large warehouse
, for the benefit of Anchorage mer
chants. The contract has been let
j to George Maltby and work has com- 1
menced on the building, which will
j be constructed of wood and corrugat
! ed iron. The dimensions are 50 by
150 feet which will give storage ca
pacity for 2,000 tons. Owing to the
fact that from early this winter un
til early next spring, Anchorage will
not have an open harbor the ware
house1 will fill a long felt need. In
it merchants will be able to store
their extra supply of merchandise
for the winter.
The benefits will not be confined to
the merchants alone and the accom
modations are open to any one who
cares to take advantage of them.
The warehouse is located at the
foot of H street on the south side of
the government railroad track.
STEEL PLANT FOR
SEATTLE PROMISED
SEATTLE, Sept. 6.—Bart Thane,
Alaska mine operator and one of the
organizers of the Alaska Gastineau
Gold company, officially announced
j today that a steel plant, with a capi
j talization of $25,000,000 would be es
! tablished on Puget Sound.
The site of the steel plant is not
announced, although it is rumored j
that it will be situated on Lake
Washington. Construction cannot
begin, however, until workmen are
obtainable, the labor shortage due to
the operation of shipyards and other
' industries on war contracts hinder
ing the building of the steel plant.

In these war times can you afford to pay two or three prices for an article of
elotning or food, which you can get elsewhere for Vo that cost?
The same sound business sense holds good with my Guaranteed Dental Work.
There is none better and the prices are 25 to 50 per cent less than others charge.
There is no need of going elsewhere for Dental Work when you can get guar
anteed work right here at Seattle prices.
I could not afford to do one piece of poor work. If my work did not last and I
did not do as I guarantee I would not have the volume of business I am doing.
IT WON’T COST YOU ONE CENT TO COME AND HAVE YOUR TEETH EX
AMINED AND GET ESTIMATE ON WORK.

MINES YIELD
Ray O. Scott and Mrs. Scott, who
have spent the summer in the Cache
Creek placer district, arrived in An
chorage yesterday on the launch
Clymax. They expect to make this
city their future home and Mr. Scott
next week will resume his connec
tions with the Daily Times as lino
type operator. He was with the
Times last year. He has been with
the M. A. Ellis hydraulic company on
Thunder creek for the last three
months. He and Mrs. Scott have re
turned here much improved in health.
Mr. Scott reported that the opera
tors on the various creeks in the
Cache creek district are doing well
this season. He said that operations
in the district are far greater than
he had anticipated.
He reported the sale of the Elmer
Carlson property on Peters creek to
James Murray for a consideration of
$40,000.
The Cache Creek Dredging com
pany, he said, was operating success
fully and would close down its plant
about November 1. A number of
its employes will spend the winter in
Anchorage.
He also reported the sale of the
Barker and Feltham mercantile busi
ness at McDougal to H. W. Nagley,
who will take possession in thirty
days.
Mr. Scott said that operators and
prospectors were planning on freight
in supplies to the Cache creek district
by the way of Talkeetna this year.
They are looking anxiously forward
to the beginning of work on the
promised wagon road by the Alaska
road commission.
NEAR SELKIRK
DAWSON, Y. T., Sept. 8.—A rich
placer gold discovery is reported at
the junction of Seymour and Kitch
ener creeks, twenty-five miles south
west of Selkirk and thirty-five miles
inland from the Yukon river.
Eight miles of Seymour creek is al
ready staked, and also several miles
of Kitchener. Several tributaries of
the two creeks have likewise been
staked.
Experienced mining men say the
value or extent of the find cannot be
ascertained until next spring.
Eight hundred tons of sacked cop
per ore recently were shipped from
the Valeria mine near Caribou to the
Granby smelter.
Two outfits are mining graphite
in the Salt Lake district near Port
Clarence.
The War Eagle group of mines un
der the management of Angus Me- j
Donald will soon be one of the large I
producers of the Strelna district. j
GOLD REPORTED
What is reported to be the most im
portant strike in this vicinity for
years is on the north fork of Kash
witna river by Wra. M. Trout and as
sociates. In the last week Mr? Trout,
Dolf Smith, Anton Stander and Fred
Kelly recorded eight quartz claims
with the recording office here, and as
a result considerable excitement has
been occasioned in Anchorage.
The party brought to this city about
500 pounds of ore and made a credit
able display of it at the recent agri
cultural industrial fair. The ore car
ries high values in copper, gold and
silver and is known as bomite ore.
The ore is in place and the locations
were made ten miles above timber
line.. The claims are accessible, how
ever, to the main line of the govern
ment railroad.
Several well known mining men
have seen the ore and say that if the
ore is found in quantity the field will
rival the famous Willow creek camp.
Should the strike live up to expecta
tions it is bound to be a great benefit
to Anchorage. A stampede is pre
dicted to the Kashwitna district early
next spring. In fact several parties
have left Anchorage within the past
few days to take up the trail of the
locators with the intention of staking
in the immediate vicinity of their
claims.
Three Veins of Ore.
It is said that three veins of the ore
have been uncovered. The locators
declare there is a large quantity of
the ore.
The quality shows for itself and the
samples brought to Anchorage are
fairly mpregnated with copper, gold
and silver.
The discovery is an instance of the
perseverance of the Alaskan prospec
tor. The first knowledge of the loca
tion of the mineral was ascertained in
1906.. In July of that year, Mr. Trout,
John Cann, Frank Harlow and Albert
Barrett heard of a valuable strke on
Kashwitna river. It took only the
sight of a sample specimen in the
hands of an Indian to induce them to
outfit from Knik and strike for the
hills.
Indian Acted as Guide.
With the Indian as guide the ore
was found that summer and the party
made twelve locations. They did the
assessment work for that year and in
1907, the year of the panic, a deal was
made for $30,000 with St. Louis par
ties who were going to take over the
property for development on a large I
scale. The forfeit money was placed j
in the bank but the deal was not per-!
fected owing to stringency of the
money market. Work on the Seward j
railroad shut down the same year and!
as the matter of transportation was
essential nothing further was Ham? mm
the property except to have Mcam&i
made of its ore. Several teiix mam'
made and the assays averaged 1(23,
per ton.
The original locators then srsHLumA
to the four comers of the earfjb ami
with the exception of Mr. Trout tkrar
whereabouts are unknown.
Mr. Trout waited for an oppertamr
time to take up the broken skem, Sph
eral years he spent n the intemat al
ways after gold and the last twv> ytamr
he has been located at Valdez mhmm,
he has been in the contracting Sun*
ness. Through friends he was keg£
acquainted with the development: «£
the government railroad work amtf
early this summer came to. Andsmsigr
en route to Kashwitna.
Mr. Trout outfitted in Anc-hasa^*
and took in an old friend, Dolf SfanSBk
as a partner; later Anton Stand*?.aa*t
Fred Kelly, who were prospecting w
the vicinity, were permitted to jot® tfiar
party and are partners in the 3a•ac
tions.
