A treat for patrons of the Col
iseum is promised for tonight in
the way of a riproaring comedy
presenting the inimitable Douglas
Fairbanks in his funniest offering,
“Down to Earth.” In this film the
energetic Douglas not only excels
all his previous efforts on the screen,
but at the same times proves his
ability as an author, in which re
spent he is as distinctive as in his
acting.
In addition to its other merits,
“Down to Earth” is perhaps the
most lavishlj* staged photoplay in
which the popular Fairbanks has
ever appeared. The story is that
of a typical American youth whose
wanderlust and ideas of living close
to nature are not in accord with
the views of life assumed by his
sweetheart, an ambitious society
bud. How the persistent youth
takes her .away from her surround
ings and wins her over to his way
! of thinking- in spite of herself of
fers one of the most amusing tonics
, the screen has yet displayed.
The picture is in five parts, full
of laughs and wholesome entertain
! ment.

In a statement given to the news
japers of Fairbanks, Tom Aitken
jxpresses the belief that reports of
lis hard rock operations on Nixon
fbrk and in the Kantishna district
lave been somewhat misleading, par
ticularly as regards ore values. Mr. .
Aitken, who is known in Alaska as'
i conservative mining man, says!
that his Kuskokwim ore runs about
$50 to the ton in gold. He has
taken out between 500 and 600
tons for the purpose of determining
the value and extent of the ledge, j
and says the results obtained are i
not such as to warrant any excite-1
ment. t
Regarding his Kantishna property, j
Mr. Aitken says that pay ore is1
being taken out, but the values do j
not run as high as the public has
been encouraged to believe by those
who have given out the misleading
information.
Mr. Aitken referred particularly i
to the unauthorized reports which j
have come from the lower river,'
several self-appointed publicity
agents of that region having taken
it upon themselves to advertise the!
Aitken holdings in the Kuskokwim
as bonanza propositions, with a .
wild scramble for adjoining proper
ties. One of these reports was sent !
broadcast by the wireless operator1
at McGrath.
Mr. Aitken does not say that he
is sorry he bought the Kantishna
property, nor does he say the re
sults thus far obtained are better
than he expected them to be. He
merely admits that pay ore has
been found and that it is now being
removed from the ledge for ship
jment to the States when navigation
iopens. Reports of exceptional val
iues, he says, are unauthorized and
i should ; he accepted as the truth.
j Mr. and Mrs. Aitken may return
to Nenana tomorrow, and it is be
lieved that it is Mr. Aitken’s inten
tion to return to the Kantishna
soon. His plans are not known for
;certain, however, and probably will
not be until he arrives here.
