One of | the most important things they 7ill do is to stimulate prospecting Southeast Alaska, and there is in {no doubt_but that some splendid imines will result. , “Large mining companies all over |the world are becoming increasing- ly interested in favorable looking prospects and are spending millions of dollars each year in developinz prospects sufficiently to test-them thoroughly. Mining men know that they cannot obtain mines al- rcady made, and this has resulted in tremendous capital being spent {in taking over prospects, not only in Alaska or Canada but all over the world, and spending enough on them to find out whether or not |they warrant further development A great deal of work, both in development and in further pros- pecting, has been done at Chi~ chagof in the last two years.

They are | milling - occasionally, when they |have enough ore, hut are making no attempt to mill steadily now. “It is planned to sink a 300-foot shaft, which will be 1800 feet be- low a-level, and to prospect a drift at that level.

I have traveled through the Andes and other famous mountain re- gions of the country, but never have I seen anything to equal the beauty of the White Pass. ditien to the beauty, there is the historic interest of the eountry, which makes it doubly fascinating.” While he -made a trip to Nome for your pound price It means 10c in your urse every time full-weight baking powder.
