, MORE STRIKES
ARE REPORTED
FROM VALDEZ
___ I
Vein of Silver Ore Extending
for Two Miles Has Been
Located, as Well as
Good Gold Find
Mineral discoveries are the order
of the day at Valdez, and recent
issues of the Valdez Miner contain
encouraging accounts of the mining
situation there. The platinum strike
continues to hold public attention,
and now a promising gold strike is
reported. Says the Miner:
“While prospecting for platinum at
Five-mile this week, Messrs. Wrhite
ford, Cameron and Cook discovered
a vein of silver ore extending for two
miles and from five to twelve feet
in width, according to locators. One
ounce of pulverized rock yielded a
button containing fifteen grains of
silver with a slight trace of gold.
“It is estimated that the rock will
run about thirty-three ounces to the
ton, and as there appears to be un
limited quantities of ore preparations
are being made to develop the dis
covery by the lucky trio.
“Samples have been sent to La
touche and Treadwell for further as
say.
“A number of prospectors are
scouring the hills since the discovery
of platinum near town and several
gold pockets have been. found which,
it is believed, will pay to work.
And Geld Also
“Some of the richest gold-bearing
ere specimens ever brought to Val
dez came in this week from the Mi
I
tius mine, at the mouth of Mineral
creek, owned by Wm. Egan and T. J.
Devenney of this city. Development
work has been in progress for some
^ time, and this week, at a depth of
thirty feet a vein of gold quartz about
twelve inches wide was discovered.
The vein is growing wider with
* depth.
“Several hundred pounds of ore
were brought in, the samples being
thickly studded with gold. Work on
the property will be pushed rapidly
and it is believed that the mine will
become one of the local producers
before this time next year.”
To Benefit Home People
The Valdez people refuse to be
come excited, however, over the
glowing prospects, and the Miner
publishes the following very moder
ately-worded editorial concerning the
strikes. The wisdom of the proposi
tion to have the mines financed by
home people, thus securing the bene
fits for the home town, will be ap
parent to all:
Since our last issue developments
at the platinum discovery show that
the new strike is one of no inconsid
erable importance. The fourth hole
put down by the drill gave a teacup
full of platinum concentrates, some
of the flakes being of a good size and
great weight. The gold values are
increasing also, and it looks as if a
discovery of no small magnitude has
been made. If the samples being
gathered by the drillers ^assay as
well as those sent out earlier in the
season, a large hydraulic outfit will
be installed by Mr. Millard and asso
ciates, Valdez capital backing the
project. Fifty thousand dollars can
be raised here in a week by our
citizens if the values warrant the
exnenditure.
But little publicity has been given
the strike on account of our citizens
wishing to prevent an influx of pros
pectors to this section, believing that
it is better for the citizens to finance
the proposition than to have a horde
of outsiders on our hands for the
V winter, many of whom would be with
out means.
If developments next week are as
satisfactory as those of the past week
the drill crew will be pulled off and
arrangements made to install ma
chinery to handle the ground. It is
a hydraulic proposition, and ample
water is at hand to work it. The
platinum-bearing ground extends over
a large area, and prospectors are find
ing traces of the mineral as far along
the benches as holes have been
sunk.
Outsiders are warned that indica
tions up to the present time do not
warrant a stampede to this section,
as no assays have been made other
than those sent to Seattle When the
discovery was made. Several sacks
of concentrates have been sent out
and returns will he received in the
near future.—Valdez Miner.

American Legion Appeals to the American Women
AMERICAN women are taking up the American Legion idea enthusiastically.
The name of the English nurse, Edith Cavell, who was shot by the Ger
mans, lias been chosen as the title for the first post. The Edith Cavell post of
the American Legion will be composed
of yeomanettes of the Brooklyn navy
yard.
After it was decided at the St,
Louis American Legion caucus that
women were eligible for membership
in the legion Chief Electrician James
F. Goerick called together the yeoman
ettes of the Brooklyn station and on
May 12 the first application for a
woman’s post was tiled by them. With
in the next two weeks applications for
Edith Cavell posts were received from
nearly e\ery state of the Union. Headquarters has now ruled that the first
charter would be given to the yeomanettes of the Brooklyn navy yard. Wash
ington, D. C., came second with a Besty Ross post. Next in line came appli
cations from the West for a Martha Washington post and a Molly Pitcher post.
Manhattan was fifth with an application for a Barbara Frietehie post.
The war and navy departments have paid official tributes to the work
which American women did in the great war. Many American girls and
women of more mature age underwent virtually all the dangers that the men
underwent, lhousands of American women crossed the sea in the days of
submarine dangers and entered on work in France which took them well into
the zone of fire. Scores of women have won decorations from the American
government, or from the allied governments of Europe, not only for the heroic
work of self-sacrifice, but for high courage in times of great danger.

The times have brought new and trying problems to women—
problems that have multiplied the cares of housekeeping. It has
devolved upon the modern woman to be mistress of many
tmngs. V^hile acting as mother and business manager in the
home, she must give time to many more problems than hereto
fore.
To save time and meet these many demands being made
upon her, the modern woman must simplify her household meth
ods. This she can do by cutting out the disagreeable and irk
some wash day, by availing herself of the help the MODERN
LAUNDRY offers.
The Modern Laundry, with its modern equipment, effi
cient and capable employes, courteous and accommodating man
agement, is well qualified to assume, for womankind in particu
lar, the burden of the family washing. Instead of the old meth
ods of boiling, bleaching and the washboard, the use of strong
soaps, lye and injurious soap powders—all of which tend to de
stroy the fiber, the Modern Laundry employes scientific methods
of sousing, rinsing and sterilizing—returning the clothes sweetly
clean and beautifully finished.
If you seek leisure for more devotion to your children, the do
ing of other things more enjoyable and far more profitable, and
increased participation in the bigger things of life, could anything
be simpler than packing your troubles in a laundry bag and send
ing it to Jones’ Modern Laundry? The cost is small in compari
son to the benefits and satisfaction your receive.
Call up Phone 66, and our man will promptlv be at vour serv
ice.
