New Strike Reported
In Teikhel Country
A report reaching Valdez recently
is to the effect that Fred Mills has
made a rich quartz strike on Falls
Creek in the Teikhel section.
Details of the strike are meagre,
but it is said that the recent heavy
rains washed away the overburden on
the mountains and revealed a vein of
quartz which is said to be extremely
rich and which was located by Mr.
Mills.
Samples of ore from the new strike
brought into the Teikhel roadhouse
are said to be literally peppered with
free gold, and Mr. Mills is quoted as
saying that he could take out better
than wages with a hammer. The ex
tent of the vein is unknown.
“HIS HOUR” OFFERS ONE OF
GREATEST OF LOVE STORIES
New Eleanor Glyn Production Tells
Romance of Imperial Russia
The rare combination of an Elinor

her two favorite screen lovers playing
the hero and heroine is the promise
of “His Hour.” Mrs. Glyn’s latest pro
duction, which will come to the Lib
erty tonight will be here Saturday and
Monday only.
In the first place, John Gilbert, as
a romantic Russian Prince, is said to
come up to all expectations as to just
what Elinor Glyn’s ideal hero should
be like, and Aileen Pringle, who de

complete vaporization
It isn’t gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder and makes power.
It’s gas—air, mixed in the carbure
tor with gasoline to form vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car
bon residue on valves, spark plugs
and cylinder walls.
That’s why you get better mile
age out of “Red Crown”—and a
cleaner, sweeter-running engine.

the beautiful heroine.
“His Hour” tells the story of a fas
cinating English widow brought up in
a straight-laced manner, meeting in
formally Gritzko, the fiery Russian
Prince, whom all women adore.
She is instantly attracted to him,
but knowing him by reputation, she
resolves she will not follow the trend
of all women and become his slave.
Therefore, the wall of aloofness is
built about her, and the Prince, who
has fallen in love with her, cannot
win her. She tantalizes him by her
indifference, yet he goes to every
length to win her.
Finally, as a last resort, he kidnaps
her and then follows a series of love
scenes which are said to surpass even
those in “Three Weeks.” The climax
comes when the Prince and Tamara
realize they love each other is one of
the most beautiful and realistic scenes
ever brought to the screen.
