THE END OF THE RAINBOW
The day of the Alaskan prospector
is not yet done. There are still
quartz ledges awaiting the stroke of
the prospector’s pick to uncover hid
den gold that was placed there by
nature ages and ages ago.
The great Alaskan mine has not
yet been found; it is awaiting the
lucky man who will stumble on it,
perhaps by chance or maybe intent.
Any young man with a love for the
life of the outdoors is potentially a
millionaire if he will but go out and
prospect the hills and vales of Alaska.
It was said by Napoleon that
every one of his soldiers had a mar
shal’s baton in his knapsack. It
might be said that every man who is
roaming the hills of Alaska with a
prospector’s pick has a million in his
| warbag. The million is here, all he
has to do is to find it.
W ithin less than a year discoveries
of rich quartz ledges have been made
on Chiehagoff island. They were
made in a place known and tramped
over for many years. Men have hunt
ed deer and camped on the ledges
1 without number, but when prospec
tor's stuck their picks in the ground
it was found that the quartz was full
of gold. There is but little doubt
that some of these ledges will yield
millions of dollars. Within gun shot
of where the first discoveries were
made, several other strikes have been
made even richer than the first ones.
These new strikes were made because
prospectors were systematically look
ing over the ground.
Territorial Mine Inspector B. D.
Stewart, who examined these new
properties, which are on Chicagof
island, has made the statement that
never in his life has he seen a place
that looked more favorable for pros
pecting.
I Beans are high and so is bacon,
and no true prospector can go into the
hills without those two indispensable
articles, but notwithstanding this fact
we would advise men—old and young
■ who are footloose and can raise the
price of even a small outfit, to take
to the hills.
Fortune is beckoning. There is a
pot of gold, where the rainbow’s end
may be.
Take to the hills, be your own mas
ter, chase the fickle goddess of for
tune for a time. She may smile on
you. If she frowns, go back to your
work, at least for a time, and when
you get another opportunity try for
her smiles again; she may be in a
better mood.
Rightly has Alaska been named the
golden north and the land of oppor
tunity. The gold is here, grasp the
opportunity.—Douglas News.
The warm Japan ocean current
does for Alaska what the Gulf stream
does for Great Britain, Ireland and
Norway.

The lumber industry of the United
States now has its principal produc
ing center in the Pacific Northwest,
where the timber resources are lo
cated; it is predicted that the pulp
wood producing center of the future
will be in Alaska and in the Pacific
Northwest, for the same reason.
_*
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
believes that the development of the
forest and hydi’o-electric resources of
Alaska is a practical means of in
creasing the supplies of newsprint
available for the United States, and
therefore eventually lessening the
paper shortage, now so acute. *

I WANT CREATE LARGE -
! MOHAMMEDAN STATE
IN TRANS - CAUCASIA
—
WARSAW, Aug. 5 (by Associated
Press).—A strong movement designed
j to create a large Mohammedan state
| in Trans-Caucasia, extending from the
| Caspian sea to Erzerum, has been
! started recently, according to word re
| ceived here. It is designed to make
the new state a satellite of Turkey.
A purely national idea is said to be
I behind this movement and which in
r
common with Bolshevism, according
to reports, excepting dislike for the
allies.
It is said that Lenine, the Russian
premier, and Mustapha Kernel Pasha,
Turkish Nationalist leader, both have
the same aim—to attack Great Bri
tain. But while Kemal cannot admit
Moscow’s supremacy over Armenia
and the Mohammedan Caucasus, Le
nine does not wish to see the creation
of a large Turkish state in the Cau
casus. Consequently, though allies,
the two leaders are really rivals.
STALLION PROVIDED
FOR IN OWNER’S WILL
BUFFALO, N. Y., Aug. 5 (by Asso
; ciated Press).—Kniplow, a 13-year-old
j stallion, was the beneficiary named in
the $10,000 war insurance policy car
| ried by Harry K. Thurman of Mem
phis, Tenn., and his aunt, Mrs. Mary
Mitchell of Buffalo, is complying with
the terms of the policy. Thurman died
in action overseas.
The facts in tfre case came out when
Mrs. Mitchell sought to have Kniplow
placed among the mounts of troop I,
state guard, in the armory here. She
said Thurman was much attached to
the horse and having no near relatives
who would suffer through his death,
he decided to provide for the animal’s
care in case he did not return. The
surplus above the cost of the horse’s
keep goes to Mrs. Mitchell.
Kniplow is suffering from a sprained
tendon but is recovering and is ex
pected soon to become a, part of troop
I’s outfit, where he is a great favorite.
