MANY OUTFITS BUSY ON
SULLIVAN AND CACHE
(Owing to delayed mail the following
arrived too late for publication last
week.]
Tofty, Alaska, May 10, 1910.
The sluicing season commenced May
2, Eglar & Wallick being the first to
make a ttart, and now Hastings, Jack
Desmond and Smith are sluicing with
a force of seven men.
The Dakota liar are making a show
ing on their dump, with “Shorty"
Hobinson at the nozzle.
The Midnight Sun are sluicing with
three strings of boxes, and have had
one cleanup amounting to $8,000.
Bob Hyatt is werking his Quartz
creek property with a small force.
On Cache things look like a mining
camp. Eugene Su.livan is the first in
order sluicing, but has very plastic
material to handle and not being an
expert mining mau is failing to save a
large percentage of his gold. Williams
A Co., on the Dick Richards property,
are sluicing and will no doubt make a
good showing. R. C. Morris & Co. are
expecting to clean up some of the yel
low metal, as they are making use of
their share of the available water with
considerable determination. Hagerty,
Doolittle and Patrick O’Donald are also
aluicing. Billy Stuart and partners
bare things in fair shape on the sur
face and are opened out in a good wav
below also; they have good dirt and no
doubt will do well this summer. Fur
ther up on Cache are several prospect
boles which are encouraging, and stili
nearer the head are the recently in
stalled plants of Gene Sullivan, who is
working a small crew. A few hundred
feet further on upstream is the plant
of Cleveland & Howell, who are well
•quipped aDd are hoisting and dumping
in the boxes in a way that makes a
man's hair raise with surprise and ad
miration.
Looking down Sullivan creek one
may see the smoke pouring forth from
the double stacks of the McVicar &
Kemper plant on Patterson creek,
proving considerable activity in that
locality. We understand that Mrs.
McVicar will divide her energies be
tween the black sand and her garden
during the pleasant days of summer.
Sam Sutherland and Jack Spencer
are not to be overlooked, as they have
taken out this winter two good-sized
windlass dumps and are now quite
ready to begin sluicing. They got
some meat from some natives a short
time since, which enhances their vigor
for the strenuous task of shoveling in.
Further on down Patterson creek is
located Bock—(the rest of his name has
been torn off)—anyway, he has good
prospects on his fraction, pans having
weighed as high as $1.07. The next
claim below is where Barker & Coburn 1
are working with a small working rig !
and have foir ground opened out. They
will probably make better than wages
this summer.
The net results are that the camp
will produce several hundred thousand
dollars, and the circulation of your
valuable paper should increase accord

HIS TEN COMMANDMENTS
Louisville Cornier Journal; A !
local manufacturer ha - posted con-j
spicuou>.!y several copies of a new j
decalogue wuich be calls “The Ten j
Dem.mdmeuts.” Here they are:
First -Don't lie—it wastes tnyj
time and yours. I'm sure to catch|
you in the end, and that's the |
wiong end.
Second —Watch your work, not I
the clock. A long day’s work
makes a long day shoit, and a day's,
short work makes my face long.
Third—Clive me moie than I ex
pect and I will pay you more than
you expect I can afford to in
crease your pay if you increase my
profits.
Fourth—You owe so much to
yourself that.vou can’t afford to owe
anybody else
Fifth—Di honesty is never an ac
cident Good men, like good wo
men, can’t see temptatiou when
t'lev meet it.
Sixth—Mind your own badness,!
and in time you will have a busi
ness of your own to mind.
Seventh—Don’t do anything here j
which hurts your self-respect. The:
employe who is willing to steal for!
me is capable of stealing from me. j
Eighth—It is none of my busi- i
ness what yon do at night, but if
dissipation affects what you do next
day and you do half as much as I
demand, you'll last half as long as
you hoped.
Ninth—Don’t tell me what I like
to hear, but what I ought to hear.
I don’t want a valet to my vanity,
but I need one for my dollars.
Tenth—Don’t waste time cutting
specks out of rotten apples.
