One of the greater enterprises to be
planned for the Fairbanks district
next year is the construction of a
large ditch to supply water to the
miners on Cleary creek. The ditch
will be in the neighborhood of 20
miles long and will carry sufficient
water to supply all demands.

Beaver creek is an ideal mining
camp, according to late arrivals from

worked on bed rock, where the rim is
exposed, gold could be found, and all
the creeks prospected well.

The spring clean-up, as a result of
winter mining operations, of Cleary
and Fairbanks creeks, will exceed
$3,000,000. There has been a lot of
winter development work on these
two gold bearing streams. About 150
boilers are in operation on Fairbanks
i *
and Cleary. These creeks present a
scene of remarkable mining activity.

An unusually mastodon tusk was
unearthed in a drift on 3 above, Fair
banks, recently, while Captain Olson
and his men were extracting the pre
cious pellets that trickled down the
creek bed when mammoths gamboled
about the wide pastures of a possibly
tropic Alaska. The big molar mea

The proposition to annex Yukon to
British Columbia is looked upon by
certain quarters with favor, as by that
means Yukon would escape from her
political turmoil and many of her
heavy expenses. It is argued that
annexation would put the very deslr- 1
able British Columbia laws in effect.
Besides it would, save the governor’s
salary, 12,000 a year, and the ex
penses of the Yukon council.

A DRAG on your jimmy-pipe, loaded
to the guards with Prince Albert, will give
you an entirely new idea of how good a
pipe can taste when you put it on the
proper diet. It will revise all your notions
about the grand old pastime of pipe
smoking. Make the test!
This very day, get yourself a tidy red
tin of P. A. and tuck a load into the busi
ness end of your pipe. Light up and pull
that wonderful smoke up the stem.
Notice how cool it tastes, whether you
feed it fast or slow. Notice how sweet
and mellow it is. Good old P« A.!
When you open the tin, the aroma
that greets you is richly fragrant . . .
the breath of real, honest-to-goodness
tobacco. An aromatic promise of the
smoke-pleasure to come. You’ll never
forget that taste when you light up.
Nothing else is like it anywhere.
No matter how satisfied you think you
are, give P. A. a whirl in your jimmy
pipe. Millions of smoke-happy men will
tell you that P. A. will give you more
pleasure to the cubic inch than any
tobacco you ever smoked. There’s a
P. A. sunshine-shop just across the way!
P. A. is sold everywhere in tidy red
tins, pound and half-pound tin humi
dors, and pound crystal-glass humidors
with sponge-moistener top. And
always with every bit of bite and parch
removed by the Prince Albert process.
