TRAIL TRAVEL
WILL SOON BE
.
Satisfied thnt Fairbanks will be the
big town of the Interior and that the
construction of the railroad will start
here next spring, Ed. Terrill, who has
been in the states and on the coast
for the past few years, returned to
Fairbanks last night, accompanied by
two traveling companions, who are
here for the first time.*
In Southeastern Alnska, especially
at Juneau, the people think that the
Interior is sure to have a good sea
son this year. Everybody feels that
the railroad will come to Fairbanks,
and thnt construction will start here
as well as on the coast.
Terrill states that there will be
many people coming over the trail
within a short time, as soon as the
days begin to get longer, as all want
to be here to get in on the ground
floor when construction starts. In the
s'ates, the people think about as they
do along the coast of Alaska, and all
are looking toward Fairbanks with
longing eyes.
While coming over the trail, Ter
rill heard that another man had been
found near Beaver Dam, frozen to
death, within the last few days. There
was no certainty about the report,
and it is doubtful if the death occur
red, as nothing was heard of it here,
either from Valdez or from any point
along the trail.—Fairbanks Times.

PLACER GROUND
VALDEZ GREEK
George W. Sias, of the Valdez creek
Placer Mining Company, which ex
pended $100,000 last summer in install
ing machinery on their placer holdings
in the interior, is now at his home in
Loston, where he gave out the follow
ing interview:
"We didn’t have time to clean out
the bedrock where I estimated there is
a good $100,000, but from the boxes
we took out $4,200, and in doing as
sessment work on our claim we pick
ed up $7,000, morO than $3,000 of
which was in nuggets, some of which
would run as high as $60. Some days
work would yield as much as $100 per
man. Our 36-inch pipe line is over
a mile long and is under a 350-foot
head. It carries more than 2,000 min
ers’ inches of water every twnnty-four
hours.
“In Alaska they figure on five cubic
yards of gravel washed per miner’s
inch, but if we do next season only
three cubic pards per inch each day we
should wash 6,000 yards a day. This
gravel bank has returned $2.70 per
cubic yard, but estimated at only $1
per yard, we shall be making next year
all the money we could ask for. We
have spent over $700,000 in the Val
dez creek properties, and expect to be
taking out more than that every year.
"The working time in Alaska for
hydraulicing is about 150 days. The
Guggenheims, operating about 100
miles west of us, took out $3,000,000
this season dredging, but we can hy
draulic cheaper than they can dredge.
I expect in a few years to be return
ing million gold a year fro our prop
erty.’”

BROAD PUSS NOT
CAMP
The rich gold strike at Broad Pass,
on the line of the survey of the pro
posed government railroad from Se
ward to Fairbanks, led C. C. Grimes, of
Milwaukee, Or., a miner of 20 years'
experiences in Alaskn, to give out the
following Information, hoping to pre
vent men unfatnilar with the district
from making an unnecessary trip
says the Portland Oregonian.
“Broad Pass,” said Mr. Grimes, "Is
the most talked-of place in Alaska at
present, owing to the richness of its
claims; but it is not a poor man's
country, being a base, instead of
placer district, which means that
smelting must be done. No prospec
tor should be fooled.
“Broad Pass is about 300 miles from
Seward. In summer it may be reached
via Cook Inlet and the Susitna river
and an overland trip of 150 miles. In
winter, the best time to go to the dig
gings, it is reached by dog teams.
Five dogs, costing $50 each, can pull
750 pounds 10 miles a day. Fifteen
hundred pounds of supplies will last
a man all winter. This necessitates
relaying the supplies.
“Broad Pass has two ledges, from
from 200 to 250 feet in width, and sev
eral miles long. Two brothers named
Wells have known of this strike for
seven years, living on it all that time,
supporting themselves by trapping and
selling out for $150,000. The entire
ledge is ore worth about $15 a ton, but
Wells Bros, had a streak 14 feet wide
which ran $250 a ton.
“The ore cannot be used until the
railroad brings machinery with which
to smelt it. To stake out a claim
would mean nothing. Big corpora
tions, such as tlie Guggenheims, buy
only tracts, or groups, of claims, and
the returns from this section obviously
will not be available for a long time.
"Nevertheless, 1 predict that from
300 to 500 persons will go to Broad
Pass from Alaska coast, cities in Feb
ruary. Knik is the place where as
says are made and provisions may be
obtained there at prices about the
same as in Seattle.”

BAXTER THROWS GAHNLET
TB MARCONI WIRELESS
Because of an advance in charges
which Vice President R. W. Baxter
says would approximately double the
| cost of the service, the Alaska Steam
ship Company, has thrown the gaunt
let to the Marconi Wireless Telegraph
Company and In the future will at
tempt to obey the government laws
pertaining to safety at sea with inde
pendently owned appratus and its own
employes.
With apparatus and operators furn
ished by a private concern the Alaska
Steamship boats are being equipped,
and the attempt of Mr. Baxter to beat
the world’s most powerful concern at
its own game will be watched with in
terest.
The Marconi company, with stations
on both coasts, has had a monopoly on
wireless service between shore sta
tions and ships at sea, and no wireless
company In this country has success
fully met is competition.
Vice-President Baxter explained that
the vessels of the Alaska Steamship
Company would work with govern
ment stations of the United States
and Canada, and the Marconi com
pany, which tie said would be compell
ed to receive and transmit messages
from ships at sea.

BETTER RESULTS PATRONIZING
YOUR HOME MERCHANTS
Why not patronize the home mer
chants. They help to build the town,
bear the burden of local taxes, pay
heavy federal licenses and help good
many of ua with ‘‘grubstakes.” Re
memeber that every dollar that goes
to outside business houses, goes out to
stay. Not only that, but the more
money that goes through our local
business men’s hands, the more they
will become generous in their prices
