PLACER GOLD
FOUND UNDER
LAVA BLANKET
•_•- -

* Prospectors arriving at Nome re
cently told of a great valley of placer
gold believed to be buried beneath a
huge age-old blanket of lava which
stretches for miles along the right
shore of the lmmachuk river, in the
Kotzebue country, north of Nome.
Gold-bearing gravel has been found
by miners who have attempted to tun
nel under the rim of the lava sheet,
Nearly every pan of dirt they toob
from under the edges contained gold
in some quantity, they said.
Belief that the lava-covered valley
contains great wealth is strengthened
by the fact that several gold deposits
* found on the Inmachuk river were lev
oated near the mouths of streams
which have cut their way through tin
lava during the hundreds of years be
lieved to have intervened since th<
volcanic outbursts.
Drills will not penetrate the lava
the prospectors said. One sourdougl
miner, H. L. Stull, said he tried t<
break the lava with a power drill las
summer, but failed when he foum
his drill striking seams and cracks
which prevented it from borin;
straight. Another prospector lost hii
equipment at a depth of 102 feet.
Blasting will be tried next summe
to get through the lava to the floo
of the valley. Stull believes there an
millions of dollars’ worth of gold o:
the floor and will ship a blasting outfi
to the Kotzebue early in the spring.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL
OF FISHING IS URGED
IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
•
VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 17 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Government operation
of British Columbia’s North Pacific
fishing industry has been urged by
William Sloan, provincial minister of
fisheries, as a means of preventing the
depletion of the salmon runs.
Dr. Sloan recently asked the Cana
dian federal government at Ottawa
to take over and operate the fisheries.
He told Ottawa that if the federal gov
ernment did not want to take up the
task the British Columbia government
would like to have the privilege of "do
ing so.
“Nationalization of the fishing in
dustry would prevent depletion of the
jlWllllBllWllllllllllllllllllll!lllflllllilll!ll1[|||llElllllWI!inilllllllllilllliiliailllll
salmon fisheries, would insure con
tinuance of the fishing industry, and
would eliminate useless competition
and excessive overhead charges,” Mr.
Sloan declared recently in explaining
his idea.
Fear that private operation of fish
eries will wipe out the ocean salmon
just as the Fraser river salmon runs
were wiped out was expressed by the
minister. The Fraser river, once the
greatest salmon river in the world,
Mr. Sloan asserted, is practically
fished out.

WE ARE THE LARGEST DEALERS IN RAW AND MANUFACTURED
FURS IN THE NORTHWEST, and all we ask of you, Mr. Shipper, is to give
us the chance of a trial shipment and we will convince you that we pay more
for furs and make quicker returns than you can get anywhere in the country.
We have been in business in Alaska for 36 years and have built up a very
extensive trade. We sell manufactured furs in all parts of the United States*
Canada, and in a great many European cities.
By shipping to us you are not only helping an Alaska industry but you are
helping yourself to build up a business that belongs to Alaska.
We eliminate the middleman entirely, as we buy direct from the trapper and
trader and sell direct to the consumer; thus we are able to pay you a better
price than you can get elsewhere. WE MAKE RETURNS THE SAME DAY
SHIPMENT IS RECEIVED.
If so desired, when your shipment amounts to $100 or more, we will wire ouf
bid, and if not entirely satisfactory you may wire at our expense and we will
ship to any place you designate.
All we ask of you is to be fair with yourself as well as with us, and make u?j
a trial shipment; the result will make you a steady shipper.
