FMRBIRKS DISTRICT
The San Francisco Chronicle of
January 4, contained the following
which indicates that another dredg
ing concern in addition to the Fair
banks Exploration Co., will soon be
operating in the same locality.
Stockholders of the Crown Dredg
ing & Mining Co., have received no
tice of a special meeting to be held
January 10, 1929, at the corpora
tion’s office, Reno, Nev., to ratify a
bond and lease to the General De
velopment Co., 233 Broadway, New
York City, by which the property oi
the company is to be equipped with
dredges and the necessary machin
ery, as may properly come before
this meeting.
Back of this cryptic announce
ment of President A. J. Baumgart
ner of the corporation is hidden a
plan for the investment thru the
San Francisco corporation of mans
new millions of dollars in the de
velopment thru huge and moderr
dredges manufactured in Califor
nia, of more than 5,500 acres of golc
bearing soil on Birch Creek, in thai
part of Alaska known, contempor
arily, as the Fairbanks-Tanana dis
trict
CONTRACTS TO BE LET
Contracts for the manufacture of
dredges are shortly to be let. This
new enterprise is regarded by min
ing men as an epochal event in the
recovery of gold from points in Al
aska, where prospectors were active
before the discovery of gold in the
famous Klondike district in the Yu
kon Territory, was ever heard of.
Gold Fields American Develop
ment Co., is the engineering com
pany that had its origin and gene
sis in the mighty brain of Cecil
Rhodes. Mining engineers have cov
ered the vast terrain amounting to
seven and one-half miles on Birch
Creek, Alaska. They have found
evidence of early day prospecting
by miners in the day of pan and
shovel and rocker, where “flour”
gold was found “from the grass
roots” down to bed-rock at 15 feet.
San Francisco capital for scores
of years has had to meet the efforts
of Seattle capitalists in the devel
opment of trade with Alaska. But
before President Baumgartner and
his associates in the Crown Dredg
ing & Mining Co., could enli t the
support of new capital, complete
boring tests were made of the ter
rain by the most competent engin
eers available.
GOLD AVERAGE HIGH
Laborious as were these under
takings, the fact was proved that
the ground average of $1.42 per cu
bic yard in gold—this to the com
plete satisfaction of those owners
of the new capital funds which will
provide for a tremendous new de
velopment.
The General Development Co., is
controlled by Adolpl^ Lewishon &
Son, prominently identified with
JUST KECIEVCD, a fresh

the Continental Miami Copper Co.,!

tific gold dredging operations in
Colombia, South America,
i It is estimated that there are 40
000,000 cubic yards of gold-bearing
ground in the district held by the
Crown Corporation. Each dredge
to be placed on the property is to
cost not less than $300,000, and a
dredge is to be placed on every 10,
000,000 yards of gold-bearing
giound contained in the holdings
of the Crown Co.

HOLY SMOKE!
Great Caesar’s ghost! What the
Seward ’ “Fire-eaters” basketball
team did to the high school five
in Saturday night’s practice game,
is nobody’s business. The score j
totaled 34 to 15, favor of the hose
lads. Both Shellhorn boys did
the heavy work for their respec
tive teams, Merritt garnishing 12
points for the “smoke-hounds” but j
just how many ringers Don got |
the scorekeeper could not say. j

AVOID THAT^i
FUTURE SHADOW*
ly refraining from over
indulgence, if you would
maintain the modern figure
of fashion
Fashion revels in the soft, enchant
ing curves of the modern figure.
Don't sacrifice that graceful con
tour by permitting your eyes to
be bigger than your stomach. Be
moderate—be moderate in all
things,even in smoking. Eat health
fully but n ot immoderately. When
tempted to treat yourself too well,
when your eyes are bigger than
your stomach, light a Lucky in
stead. Coming events cast their
shadows before. Avoid that future
shadow by avoiding over-indul
gence if you would maintain the
modem,alluringly-rounded figure.
Lucky Strike/ the finest Cigarette
you ever smoked, made of the
finest tobacco—The Cream of the
Crop—"IT’S TOASTED.” Every
one knows that heat purifies and
so “TOASTING” not only re
moves impurities but adds to the
flavor and improves the taste.

*Be Moderate!... Don’t jeopardize the modern form by drastic diets, harmful reducing girdles, fake reducing tab
lets or other quack ''anti-fat” remedies condemned by the Medical profession! Millions of dollars each year are
wasted on these ridiculous and dangerous nostrums. Be Sensible! Be Moderate! We do not represent that smok

tempted to do yourself too well, if you will "Reach for a lucky" instead, you will thus avoid over-indulgence
in things that cause excess weight and, by avoiding over-indulgence, maintain a modern, graceful form.
