BURMAN-HENNING
PROSPECT, NUKA
BAY, PROMISING
Eric Burman and Henning Carl
son has one of the largest and most
favorable looking properties in the
Nuka Bay district, according to a re
cent government official who return
ed to Seward a few days ago from
the district. The property, known
as the Little Creek Load Claim, tho
having a fine showing of ore, is yet
undeveloped. Should future develop
ments prove satisfactory the proper
ty will warrant the installation of a
large size mill.
Indications are very continuous, it
is stated, and is well worthy of fur
ther tunnelling. The foot, wall of
diorite is Veil defined and the hang
ing wall of gray whack proves that
it lays within the natural contact.
Free milling ore has been uncovered.
These are of arsenic base. The three
big veins if proven in depth, will
be one of the largest mining propo
sitions uncovered in the Territory.
At present only surface development
has been made.
“LILIES OF THE FIELD”
UNUSUALLY GOOD.
The small crowd at the Liberty
last night denotes that the picture
fans were unimpressed by the ad
vertising of the feature, believing it
ordinary, but those who were there
proved their judgment or curiosity
well founded for it surely is a mas
terpiece of its kind. It is a perfect
composition—acting—story and set
ting, and its nine reels end all too
soon. There never has been a clear
er picture given—and yet in a deli
cate way—of the immorality that goes
with wealth and fast living, and its
opposite—Virtue, that brings its own
reward.
We recommend the show to any
one that wants to see a really fine
play perfectly acted by a beautiful
heroine and a handsome hero. At the
Liberty again tonight. Don’t miss it.

SKEEN AND HURLEY
STAKE, MOOSE PASS
A pretty fair looking prospect was
staked last week in the Moose Pass
district by Frank Skeen and D. Hur
ley, stockholders in the Alaska Hills
Mines Corporation, who recently re
turned to Seward from a prospecting
trip to the district. The partners,
who are guests at the Hotel Sexton,
expect to return to the district in a
few days and after their return to
Seward leave for the Nuka Bay dis
trict where they have extensive hold
ing.
An unofficial report from Anchor
age is to the effect that the Evan

DIRIGIBLE PEOPLE
GO TO ANCHORAGE
THEN TO INTERIOR
Mr. and Mrs. James C. Langley
of Seattle; Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Camp
bell, and son, departed for Anchor
age the first part of the week. Mr.
Campbell, who arrived in Seward
two weeks ago in the interest ol a
dirigible company, had planned to
remain in Seward for another week
but owing to the arrival of Mr. Lang
ley from Seattle, who is the vice
president of the company, it was
decided that they should make the
Interior trip at this time. From Fair
banks, Mr. Campbell expects to go
down the river to Nome. He will
return to Seward probably in two
months.
Regarding local subscription for
stock in the Alaska and Northwest
Dirigible Company, Mr. Campbell
stated he was well pleased with their
reception here.
Martin Michel, who has been pros
pecting at Lakeview, Mile 20, record
ed a claim Monday. His property
has a splendid showing and he ex
pects to do considerable developmnet
work on it this summer.
George Benning, formerly of Sew
ard, is now in Portland where he
is manager of a large automobile
agency. Leon Urbach, local busisess
man had quite a visit with him while
he was in the Oregon city.
Among those departing for the
South the first of the week were the
Misses Mary and Georgia Hargett
and brother, George. They reside
in Hollywood, and have been making
a tour of the Territory.
IT THE
METHOD OF
MAIL ORDER
MERCHANDISING
Mail order concerns de*
mand cash in advance. They won't
take a chance. They won't trust you.
They are the “fair weather friends” of
merchandising.
If a local dealer treated you in the
same manner you would be madder than
a wet hen. But he doesn’t. If you desire
credit and are worthy of it, he will extend it
gladly. Then why not
Favor Dealers Who Will Favor You
Spot cash trading is of course the best
policy of purchasing. There are, however, times when
even those well heeled financially must resort to “credit”
buying. You may see the time when it will not be convenient for
you to “come across” with the cash. And when that time comes
the local merchant is the only one who will “accommodate” you. The mail
order house would turn you down cold. They want your business only when
they have your money in hand.
Unless you trade with home dealers when you have the
ready cash—don't ask for a “credit lift” in a pinch. It's not just. It's
net even common decency to expect your home town dealer to bear
the burden of your bills—when you refuse to do business with him when you
can do it on a spot cash basis.
By every reason of right your local merchants are entitled
to your patronage—every penny of it. They cater to your best inter
ests with the best brands of merchandise. Their quality standards are the
highest. Their lines are fresh—clean—right up to date in every particular.
Their prices mark the extreme limit of economical buying. They deal fairly.
Every dollar you spend with them buys actual value. None of it goes for ex
orbitant mail order expenses—costly catalogues—high salaried office workers. They dont
attempt to lead you on with merchandising “lures”—with low prices on one or a few articles—
then high prices on all other goods.
They want your business. They will do everything within
their means to earn your patronage. They must handle your account
with care. They can’t stand to lose trade—because their field is limited.
Even if they were inclined (which they are not) to employ underhanded methods, they couldnt
afford to—because it would kill them commercially.
Turn trade to the dealer who in turn will treat you right. Put your con
fidence in merchants who have confidence in you.
