1 FREE GOLD VEIN
WILLOW CREEK CAMP
^ What is purported to be the richest quartz strike ^
^ ever made in this part of Alaska is reported from the ^
^ head of Peterson creek, in the Willow creek district, ^
^ and such reliable mining men as Win. Martin, Fred ^
^ McCoy and Fred Laubner substantiate the claim of ^
^ dcsse Garber in his assertion that lie lias made the >
^ “Goddess’ ’that rules the Willow creek district show ^
the hole card, and it was covered with gold—free gold. ^
^ This strike was made within the past few days ^
and Mr. Garber was in Anchorage yesterday, filing ^
^ the necessary papers making himself and associates ^
^ owners of a very rich group of quartz claims in the
^ Willo wcreek district. The fortunate associates of
£ Mr. Garber and the ones in on the ground floor and ^
^ who furnished the grub stake are Fred McCoy, Stuart
£ Maxwell, C. II. Thompson and Mi>s Annie W. Dickey. ^
^ Messrs. Maxwell and McCoy left Anchorage today to
^ accompany Mr. Garber to the new strike and see for ^
^ themselves and arrange for immediate development of ^
^ the property.
^ Jesse Garber left Anchorage on the 12th of June ^
^ for the hills to the north of Knik and says he prospect
$ ed a section that had never previously been visited; ^
^ the original find was a float which, followed down, re- ^
^ suited in uncovering a ledge near the head of Peterson
^ creek, making an ideal location for a mine and mill A
^ site. ^
This property is about eight miles north and west ^
^ from the Martin mine and six miles due north of the ^
^ Gold Bullion, and Mr. Garber, who is one of the best ♦
£ prospectors in the country and very reliable, feels that ♦
^ he is justified in saying that nothing to equal this dis- ^
£ covery of high-grade ore has ever been found in this ^
^ part of Alaska. Qne feature in connection with the ^
^ strike is that the property is not for sale, nor is any
^ part of it for sale; the men connected with Mr. Garber ^
^ are financially able to put in a modem and complete ^
£ outfit at once and have gone to the strike with this end ^
^ in view. The result of their visit will mean that active ♦
^ development will start at once and men put to work, ^
^ machinery installed and the Jesse B. be added to the ♦
^ gold producers of this famous gold quartz section of ♦
Alaska. ❖
^ In opening up the Jesse B. Claim proper Mr. Gar- ^
^ her took out 15 tons of free milling ore and uncovered ^
^ five leads of milling ore within 150 feet of each other; ♦
£ with the veins ranging from two to eight feet in width. ^
^ The ore is a chloride and exceptionally high value ^
£ and the Jesse B. has all the ear marks of being a divi- ^
£ dend-payer from the start. ♦
^ The many friends of Jesse Garber are congratu- ^
^ lating him on his strike and all say that he is deserv- ^
^ ing of his good luck. For 37 years he has been tramp- ❖
^ ing the hills of California, Nevada, Arizona and Alas- ^
^ ka in the ceaseless search for gold and like most of the ♦
^ old-time prospectors is superstitious and in his hunch ^
$ that his luck comes with the decades he is right for in ^
^ 1886-1896-1906 he made strikes that netted him fair ❖
£ returns, but the climax came in 1916 and the discovery ^
^ of the vein that made the Jesse B. possible means that ^
^ the dreams of this old-time prospector have came true ♦
^ and he will be permitted to spend the balance of his ♦
^ life in clipping coupons as the result of his untiring ^
^ and persistent efforts to make the one big strike. ^

HOTTEST WEATHER SINCE 1901

AGE TO THE CROPS
WILL BE RESULT.
CHICAGO, July 28.—The worst
heat wave since 1901 is prevailing in

PERMIT GRANTED
Word came this morning that the
free lease permit had been granted on
ten-acre coal leases extending over a
period of two years. This means a
great deal to Anchorage and the
railroad project and it is largely due
to the efforts of A. Christensen that
this free lease has been allowed. The
Daily Times will comment at length
on this important issue and what it
means to this city in tomorrow’s pa
Iper.
I'HIRTY-ONE DIE AM) HUNDRED
AND FIFTY NEW CASES RE
PORTED WITHIN THE
PAST 24 HOURS.
NEW YORK, July 28.—The epi
iemic of infantile paralysis continues
without apparent cessation. Thirty
one deaths occurred yesterday and

hours. Since the epidemic began in

PARIS, July 28.—Optimism is
now crowding pessimism into the last
ditch in the French psychology of the
war.
“It will be over sooner than you
think,” says the new prophets replac
ing those that have been driven out
of business by time, ridicule, and the
course of events.
A few go so far as to say “the
boys will all be home before snow
flies”, but that is taking only local
chances, since snow rarely flies over
the bulk of France territory. The
most audacious take their courage in
both hands nad declare “every man
will be out of the trenches by Christ
mas.”
