Interior Prospectors Are
Rapidly Leaving Country
—
In the Tanana Valley, Iditarod, Flat,
iuskokwim and Kantishna districts,!
;here is very little mining being done,!
recording to Karl Thiele, secretary of
he territory, who returned to Juneau
recently from a trip through the inter
ior. Oldtimers who have spent years
in the hills are apparently abandoning
them, and no new prospectors are go
ing in to take their places. The placer
strike reported on Crooked Creek near
McGrath last fall, he said, had not
amounted to a great deal. Pay has
been found only in three claims, those
owned by Dave Clough and Strand, the i
discoverers. Quartz mining is at a,
standstill since the withdrawal of the
Treadwell interests from the upper
Ivuskokwim. The Treadwell mine will
be operated next season by owners of
the claims formerly held under option
by the company, but no extensive work
is being anticipated on the property.
Dredging operations, however, next
season will probably be more extensive
than last year. The dredge last year
had a profitable season and their pro
duction in 1924 will probably be in
creased some.

Clever Advertising Man
Places Parka on Tin Cow
Some clever advertising man has
slipped a glass parka on the “Klondike
cow”, as many oldtimers call the red- j
and-white labeled can of Carnation j
Milk. The old friend of sour-dough
and chechako alike, is now being in
troduced to the world as a “quart of
milk” and this illustrative idea of the
“can-in-bottle” makes it very plain
how the contents of the can diluted to
its original consistency will overflow’
the quart bottle.
Carnation Milk first sprang into pop
ularity in Alaska at the time of the
gold rush. E. A. Stuart, president of
the Carnation Milk Products Company
started manufacturing it near Seattle
in 1899 and stampeders of the North- |
land soon began including it among
their supplies.
During the years that followed it
! formed the milk supply for most of
the families in the Territory, and the
tin can with the bright-colored wrap
per around it was much more familiar j
to Alaskans than the glass milk bot- j
tie which it used with it in the illus- i
tration.
From the little plant which Mr. j
Stuart started at Kent, Washington, j
has grown a vast business operating!
38 eondensaries and using 85.000,000
gallons of milk a year. Carnation
Milk is known and used from Nome to
Timbuctoo. Its empty cans have
marked strange trails in many lands
and it is a household necessity in mil
lions of homes, but one of the chapters !
in its history which is the most inter
esting is that which deals with the
opening of Alaska when it was also
a pioneer in the winning of the North.
Oak Olson and Ed Meherir. have re
cently been appointed sales represen
tatives for Carnation Milk in Alaska.
The Cordova basketball team play
ed Ketchikan recently and lost by a
score of 38 to 20. The Cordova boys
put up a good fight but the Ketchikan
team outplayed them in swiftness.
