A CAKE that ha9 fallen in the
process of baking is a sad
spectacle to the eye and an in
sult to the digestion. Time, mate
rials and energy, not to mention
temper, may be saved by the
efficient housewife whose success
lies in the attention to details.
A method of keeping a watchful
eye on the cake while it is baking
which eliminates the disastrous
rush of cold air into the oven is to
open the oven-door but a trifle, let
the beams of a small flashlight
illuminate the interior and a glance
will tell the progress the cake is
making.

TELLS OF STRIKE
ON VALDEZ CREEK
DISCOVERY NOT PANNING^ OUT IN
SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES
TO MAKE TRIP PAY
CANTWELL, Alaska, July 14—■
Tave got all information from relia
)le sources.
Valdez Creek has been mined for
>5 years by individuals and corpora
;ions. Length of creek 10 or 12 miles.
3ixty-flve miles from Cantwell and
ibout 12 white men and 30 Indians
ire on the creek, making 42 all eli
gible to stake claims. Creek has for
rears been staked from mouth to head
)f creek above timber line, five miles.
Claims are being held for years at
lead of creek where it is impossible
to do any sluicing owing to lack of
water. Laughing Ole sent a wire to
a, man in Nebraska to warn him to
look out and protect his ground,
claiming that he had found pay on the
claims adjoining. The situation is
this. Ole went in this spring to try
to locate claims and all he could find
unstaked was a fraction near 6 and 7
bench and also one more claim for
tiimsel, so Ole only owns one claim
and a fraction for all his time and
trouble.
He got water on his ground and
concentrated his gold on bed rock
panning as high as $3 to the pan out
□f the sluiceway. Any mining man
knows what that means. He has only
another man w'orking w'ith him in a
small cut, and will do well if he makes
a winter’s grub stake.
Carlson went in to protect his
ground from claim jumpers who were
staking fractions and got excited over
Ole’s find, which is nothing but a con
tinuation of the pay between blanks
on general run of creek. Valdez
Creek is all heavy glacial action de
posit gold, very rough and not travel
ing far. Immense boulders lie on bed
rock which require machinery to han
dle or pow'der to bulldoze out of your
way. The largest yearly cleanup was
$42,000 by a big hydraulic plant wiiich
is now shut down and virtually in the
hands of a receiver owing to bad
management or too much gravel mix
ed with the gold. No one seems to
know. No individual miners have
come out of Valdez creek in the past
15 years with anything like money.
I will send you reliable map, copy
of the district made by a reliable
miner who w'as in the country 15
years, who is now' postmaster at Val
dez creek. It is a country where two
months’ grub and a pack train of
two horses and go to foot of glacier
at head of Susitna river. But no
claims are to be had near the dig
gings unless you stake betweeen Val
dez creek and Windy creek on the
Susitna Flats, which are 100 or 150
feet deep. The pumpman and four
others here are waiting for more defi
nite information and wre talked it
over and are of the same opinion of
the watchman w'ho will send word to
New* York by tomorrow' or next day.
We expect a gang from Fairbanks
but are not certain. The grubstake
men from the pool halls of Anchorage
left at 4 p. m. but I think only tw'o
intend to go through.
Ground All Tied Up
No new’ arrivals yet. Oldtimers ad
mit Valdez creek all staked, also all
tributaries blanketed since Ole’s find.
No chance to locate ground by guess
work. It is the best policy to go fully
prepared. If Larson comes back with
a good report it will require a trip
to Talkeetna to recording office. Rep
resentation w’ork records P. O. attor
ney all records relating to Valdez and
vicinity with this information and a
supply of provisions to last a month
or so. Late comer oftentimes lands
on big money near discovery. The
oldtimers have got her all tied up
and the natives have staked for them
also. This is the only sensible course
to pursue in a case of this kind and
no matter the cost it is the cheapest.
DcCOURCY.
The above letter w'as sent to the
Fairbanks Newrs Miner from Cantwell
by Matt DeCourcy, and is the most ac
curate information received from the
new strike up to the present time.
Mrs. Elizabeth Merrifield, who has
been accompanying Mrs. Burdette
on the Alaska tour, went south on the
Yukon from Seward Sunday. Mrs.
Merrifield is reported as being the
originator of the well known Cream
of Wheat product.
