The Alaska Treadwell Gold Mining
Company has taken a bond on twelve
gold quartz claims at Nixon Fork,1
near McGrath, on the Kuskokwim
♦river. At the present time Livingston
Wernecke, representative of the com
pany, and formerly connected with
th Copper River & Northwestern rail
vffjy, is on the ground, doing develop
ment work.
An outfit costing in the neighbor
hood of $20,000 is being assembled at
Juneau for transportation to the Kus
kokwim as soon as navigation opens.
In the outfit is a portable air com
pressor, drilling machines and every
thing else that goes to make a quartz
mining camp.
This outfit is being assembled by
Charles Horner, who will leave soon
in charge of it and a crew of men for
McGrath to assist in the development
of the claims.
Livingston Wernecke, geologist for
the company, left for McGrath several
weeks ago, going to the end of steel
on the government railway and then
traveling twelve days by dog team to
his destination. His report on the
•claims is said to have been favorable,
and he was authorized to go to work.
He has been working with a crew of
iJwelve men in opening up the pros
pects.
T^ie option on this property comes
as the culmination of the endeavors
o* the Treadwell company last season
to get hold of some good quartz prop
erties in the Interior of Alaska.
SWITCHES BAGS;
HE GETS BABY
*
"Broken Blossom” Wishes Infant
on Stranger—Babe Is
“Accomplice.”
Bridgeport, Conn.—A New York girl,
calling herself a “broken blossom,’' the
mother of an eight-weeks-old baby,
abandoned it in the Grand Central sta
tion in a clever way that permitted
^ her offsprtng to enter the home of a
well-to-do citizen of Bridgeport, un
known to himself. Only he did not
keep the baby, but turned it over to a
hospital.
The baby’s mother, unable to sup
port it and unable also to give it a
name, put her child in a large travel
ing bag, gave it a fresh bottle of milk,
and when the Bridgeport citizen—Rob
ert F. Rohland—placed his own bag
on a ledge of one of the ticket win
dows in the station while he bought a
ticket, the mother swapped bags.
The baby, warm in the bag and hav
ing all the nourishment it needed..

must have gone to sleep shortly after
the substitution occurred, for there
-was not a sound out of it on the trip
from New York to Bridgeport. The
two bags were so much alike that
Mr. Rohland did not notice the sub
stitution until he got into his home.
When he opened the bag the baby
was awakened and began lustily to
test its lungs. The four hours in the
bag had apparently not hurt it a bit.
In the bag Mr. Rohland found a
note, from the child’s mother. This
explained that the baby was eight
weeks old, had been baptized and that
the mother had been deserted by the
child’s father. The note further stated
that the mother was leaving New York
for California.
Mr. Rohland thought things over for
a while and then notified the police .
arm the Bridgeport hospital, which
took the baby in.

Truunce William Francis, ap

into the Delaware river from an
ice floe at Chester. I’a. He dis
appeared from sight, arose to
the surface, ducked a couple of
huge ice cakes, went under the
surface, bobbed up once again,s
ducked more ice cakes and then
gave up his suicide quest in evi

the ice field, shaking as with
ague, and made for the shore,
getting away before a boat could
reach him.

Wear, Washing and Your Clothes
Why do clothes wear out ? Is day
to day use a principal factor ? Has
laundering a weakening or strength
ening effect? How much has the
quality of the manufacturer’s work
to do with wear? What can rea
sonably be expected of a given piece
of fabric ?
In behalf of the housewives whom
we serve, these questions have been
searchingly inquired into.
'Tablecloths of real linen, well
woven, can be laundered as many
as 100 to 150 times before showing
wear. This is the average of our
methods of handling linen that has
been finely made and properly cared
for by the housewife.
Flaws often appear in curtains at
the point below the shade, where
they are most exposed to dust-laden
air and the action of the sun’s rays.
To check these corrosive influences
many housewives have their curtains
washed oftener than cleanliness alone
- _
If a few drops of
a harmful fluid, like
the solution in an
automobile stor
age battery, have
fallen on a cloth,, holes will develop
during the first washing.
A starched collar that has never
been worn—such a collar as is com
monly favored by men—can be con
tinuously washed in laundries like
ours as many as 40 times before it
will begin to fray. But if the collar
is worn between washings, it can be
laundered only 20 times or less.v In
a word, the wearing of a collar—the
putting it on and taking it off—
shortens its life by 50 per cent or
more.
Personal apparel and household
linen are bleached, dyed, woven,
tailored, packed, shipped, stored, un
packed and used before they come to
us. If at any stage there has been
poor workmanship, misuse or abuse,
“it all comes out in the wash.”
But when you have purchased
with judgment, and used your things
with care, our cleansing methods
will help you prolong their usefulness.
