In an Interview with Ralph Lomen
in reference to a mining deal having
been made at Bluff the first of the
week, it was learned that Lomen
Bros, and Dan Crowley were success
ful in leasing the property of Merritt
and Chiddis, as wrell as some addition
al adjoining claims at Bluff, the lease
takes in the property were the rich
placer strike was recently made by
Merritt and his partner. It is the In
tention of those taking the property
over to send a crew of men and equip
ment to the diggings and give the
ground a thorough prospecting before
deciding on just what methods Will
be employed in working the ground
on a large scale:
The Shishmaref trappers are having
exceedingly poor luck this year.

Joseph B. Evans, president and
manager of the Alaska Glaciers Min
ing company, left Valdez last Monday
for the property at Port Wells, tak
ing with him several men to Increase
the working force at the mine. Mr.
Evans expressed himself as more
than pleased with the result of the
development work accomplished this
! summer, and expressed the belief
that the mine will become within a
very short time a very profitable pro
ducer. This opinion has to back it,
the fact that ever since development
started on the property some years
ago, the ore values have been not only
persistent but high, and by the fur-,
ther fact that recently a new strike
was made with ore carrying probably
better average values than anything
previously opened up in the mine. The
lowest assay went $18 to the ton,
while several ranged between $50 and
$60 per ton, and with two going over
$150 per ton. Mr. Evans stated, the
mill would be put in operation and on
his next trip to Valdez he expected to
bring the first cleanup.

THERE’S something very solid and sub
stantial about Prince Albert. Dependable
... as a good friend should be. Uni
formly mild and mellow. It always tastes
the same—which means that it always
tastes great! The reason for all this is
the excellent quality of the tobacco.
Prince Albert quality has made this
one brand the most popular among pipe
lovers; has earped for it the tide of the
National Joy Smoke. Get yourself a
tidy red tin of P. A. today at the nearest
P. A.-sunshine shop and know for your
self what a grand and glorious smoke it is.
The very first pull will tell' you that
Prince Albert was made for you. Cool,
as a breeze of? the water is cool. Sweet,
with the uncloying sweetness of sun
ripened fruit. Fragrant, as flowers are
fragrant. Fragrant in the tin and fra
grant in the bowl of your pipe.
Men who thought they were all set on
smokes have tried Prince Albert and be
come converts from the very first puff.
There’s a bare possibility that you have
been fooling yourself. The pleasure
you’ll get from a jimmy-pipe and P. A.
\vill top any you think you’re getting now!
