This store is splendidly ready with a
stock of merchandise suitable for Christmas
Presents for Men, Women and Children.
Nowhere in the Interior of Alaska will you find
the variety of Useful Presents that this store offers
you this week at prices in many instances below
Outside prices. You will forget all about the high
prices of merchandise if you come here to do your
Christmas shopping. In the first place, we believe in
reasonable profits, and secondly, we always made
it a practice to buy ahead for future use. That’s the
reason that today, despite the unreasonably high
prices, we find ourselves in a position to sene you
better than ever,—can save you more money, which
is an absolute undeniable fact.
Do not put off shopping until the last day before
Christmas.—there are only eight shopping days left.
ASSORTMENTS ARE AT THEIR BEST NOW.

KOLAND OFF TOMORROW
TO SELL EIGHT HORSES
Knut Koiand. well-known local
freighter, has eight horses which
he would like very much to dispose
of. He is horse poor right now, he
says, -with more horses than he can
keep busy, and he is looking for
someone who can use the stock.
Koiand plans to leave for Fair
banks tomorrow noon with his sur
plus stock, believing that he can
sell the horses there. But he will
not go if any local buyers want the
stock before he gets started. He
would rather not make the trip, and
is doing so only because the bottom
appears to have fallen out of the
local horse market.

BARM COMES
I FROM KANTISHNA
TO GET SUPPLIES
—
Ed Bartlett, oldtime freighter, who
has a contract to haul ore and sup
plies for the Aitken galena mine in
the Kantishna district, arrived in
Nenaan on Saturday for a load of
powder and other supplies for use
at the mine. He drove a team of
four horses across country to the
Government railroad, at Kantishna
station, coming out by way of the
Lloyd road to Knight’s, from which
point he followed the regular Kan
tishna winter trail to the Thirtymiie
roadhouse, where the team is sta
bled.
Mr. Bartlett has the distinction
of having pioneered the way into
the Kantishna district with horse
drawn sleighs, and, as a result of
the work done by him when he took
his outfit in last fall, the trail is
now in good condition for heavy
hauling. All the streams are
bridged and the trail widened and
otherwise put in shape for horse
rigs. The work was all done by
Mr. Bartlett, without assistance from
the territory or the federal road
commission.
t On the return trip, Mr. Bartlett
will take in a quantity of powder
and supplies for the Aitken mine
and a ton of supplies for Ed Brook
er, who is developing a galena ledge
near the Aitken property, and who
was unable to get his outfit in on
the last boats.
Regarding conditions in the Kan
tishna, Mr. Bartlett says the dis
trict looks good to him—more like
a quartz camp than anything he has
seen in the North. A lot of work
is being done this winter, he says,
not only by the Aitken outfit, but
also by others who are in the dis
trict to open up prospects or to
make locations.
The Aitken tunnel, which was
driven to connect with the shaft
sunk during the summer, has been
completed and ore is now being
sloped, with considerable ore in the
chute at the mine, more at the ore
house, where it is loaded onto the
sleighs, still more at the foot of the
hill, and some at Roosevelt, from
which point it will be shipped to
the States in the spring. Mr. Bart
lett says his teams have landed be
tween 75 and 100 tons at the foot
of the hill and that the first load of
ore reached Roosevelt on December
11th.
The first ore was started down the
hill on December 4th, and when Mr
Bartlett left the work was pro
gressing very satisfactorily. A four
horse team is used for the work
and five tons of ore is taken down

j Stables have been erected at
i Moose creek, the headquarters camp
jof the freight outfit; at Bear creek,
jand at Roosevelt, the ore being
'moved from the foot of the hill to
| the river by relay, ten miles to a
-team. Sixteen horses are in use
! altogether.
Mr. Bartlett also has built a
. cabin at Moose creek for his own
use, and plans to take Mrs. Bart
lett back with him when he returns
at the end of the tveek. He will go
‘to Fairbanks tomorrow and will be
back in Nenana probably on Friday,
ready for the return trip to the
Kantishna.
Conditions at the Aitken mine
have been greatly improved during
the past several weeks. Mr. Bartlett
says. When he first arrived there
it was much like camping out, but
the employes of the mine are now
| comfortably housed and working
conditions are very satisfactory,
‘with the camp daily assuming a
more permanent appearance as the
work progresses.
Tom Aitken, who was expected st
the mine from the Kuskokwim dis
trict about the first of the month,
had not arrived up to the time Mr.
Bartlett left for Nenana, but he was
Hooked for daily and probably is
there bv this time.
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Quigley, from
j whom the galena property was pur
chased by Aitken. are coming out
‘within the near future, and Mrs.
Quigley probably will go to the
j States for the remainder of the
winter.
