is Carnation MilKSo Qood ?
Because its high quality begins with the
cow! The Carnation field force in each
•producing district advises and checks se
lected dairymen who supply Carnation.
Then, Carnation Milk Farms, with their fa
mous pure-bred Holsteins, work always for
better dairy herds.
Ail this is done to insure that wonderful
Carnation quality which makes it the preference
of Alaska housewives. You can enjoy Carnation s
double richness, its full creaminess, that nner
than-ever taste. But you must insist upon
Carnation at your grocer’s.

his claims the distance 3s about one]
and one-half miles. One mile of this
is what they call the Bine Gulch eff j
the old channel of Mills creek. The
Blue Gulch is something like 40 or
50 feet deep and Mr. Michaelsen has
sunk a shaft 30 feet when water sto^p-1
ped him. The gravel prospe0 from
the grass roots down was very en
couraging. A dollar piece was pick
ed up at one time and many 50 cent
and 25 cent pieces have been toad.
Alongside of the gulch on the
benches good prospects were found,
averaging from two to three cents a
pan.
Mr. Michaelsen has cut the head Of
the Blue Gulch where she broke off
600 feet up this spring to bedrock
from the water, in fact he saw bed
rock all the way from Mills Creek
up, which is a distance of about 500
feet or more. He crossed the chan
nel 60 feet up from Mills creek
which shows another pay streak 50
! feet wide.
Last winter he made a windlass and
brought up a pump to the head cC
the Blue Gulch expecting to find the
channel there of at least 3( feet. In
stead of finding one channel be four, t
three, as benches, pointing for the
Blue Gulch which showed and proved
the gold lead to the gulch. Alter
he got so high he failed tc get an:
more gold so cleanec up expecting
to find little in the boxes but it :at::ng
the riffles off he kept the head of w*
ter on and got 50 or €0 colors It the
last pan unexpectedly. The r»oxs«
were then moved down to the lower
channel on Mills creek.
He then commenced rocking 40
pans and recovered $1.6® in less than
| three hours. He then rocked two
| short days after that and got S9 worth
' of gold which he sold to Orlander,
| the local jeweler. Two years ago he
was piping there with snow water
for five days and cleaned tip 5107 o?
course gold. One of these nuggets
was in the neighborhood of $4 and
the other a $2.46 nugget was found
in the pan. the total paying SS.50
This was in the center of the chan
nel. At the present time he is right
on the edge of the pay gravel where
six feet are revealed.
With a wing dam and sluices, shov
eling in. during the years of to
1901. gold from the head ©f the Bine <
channel to the value of $266.6®® was -
recovered by the Polly min :ng com- j
pany, the former name of the present4
company. Mining activities came to
a halt at that time due to the fact
that the pay dropped and the owners
came to the conclusion the values
laved in the hench ncwewkt, the
property continued to pay Just about
miners wages. The average <Ugy^s
work to a shovel was about $5< to
$60 to the man This was from the
mouth up to the course gold bar tst
Mills bar on Mills creek. After that
the gold layed in the benches and
that is where Mr. Michaelsen is new.
He has a pipe and all the necessar—
lumber on the ground and aB he
wants now is water in his ditch. The
ditch was damaged to the extent off
$5,000 in 1917. He is new ready to
mine as he has quit prospecting.
Providing Mr. Michaelsen can die- /
pose of one-fifth of his claims, which
he is willing to do for $5.6®<». he in
tends to immediately reconstruct the ,
ditch from this money and pul wa
ter on the ground. This is nil the
he states, necessary to
opening the property. He has fount
prospects all over his claims and 3tl
anyone wants to corns out and pros
'peet for themselves they may do so
at any time. He says it is like many
other properties in the Territory.
