CROW CREEK MINE SENDS 600 OUNCES AMALGAM, EXPORT (Seward Gateway) Another producing gold mine has been developed for Alaska by the Crow Creék Corporation, op- erating ‘the Monarch Gold Mine, near Girdwood, 70 miles north from Seward, and it is stated that on August 21, after running a No. 1 Denver Quartz mill some 150 hours, the mine management sent in 600 ounces of good clean amal- gum to be ‘exported to the free market for gold. The gold produced by the mine is said te be quite coarse and the amalgam is certain to run aroand| 50 per cent in gold. It is said that in the 1 mill on the property there is a continuous ring of amalgam, both on the inside and the outside of the mortar. 'The developers of fhe mine, Harry 1. Staser, president and gen- eral manager, startéd from ‘bec- rock. They were limited in financ- es but were alle to buy a mill, coneentrating table, tram; grub, and other mine accessories. These were all bought on a cash basis. As usual, the developers had their setbacks. Pieces of machinery were missing or broken and the future presented a dark picture} for them unless the mine made good. Working with Mr. Staser at the mine is Harry Riley, for- merly B. & B. foreman on the Alaska Railroad, and a veteran in the mining game, is doing theé honors in ‘the Girdwood mine. Assisting him are William Nelson, Fritz Larson, - Albin' Isaacson, John W. Nelson and John Titland, all veteran .young and husky quartz miners. Harry Sagers; formerly| chief cook for the Alaska' Guides, keeps the miners happy and con- tented with his fine cooking. Os- car Grey, with his 15 Caterpillar, has hauled up some 60 tons of freight from sea level to the mine at an alfitude of 3,000 feet. John Titland is thé" head machinist, blacksmith, carpenter and geheral mechanic. The depression caught John outside, took his job, home and life insurance from him. So he came to Alaska. Mr. Staser, in addition t0 his duties as president and general manager, is the chie! metallurgist. mill-man, gas monkey and water boy. s s s UNITED FOOD CO.

LANHMAHK DMARK GOES Wreck : of Old Saloon inI North St. Louis Calls Up B. B. Stories ST. LOUIS, Sept: 6. — The wrecking of ‘an old saloonm bufld- ing in North St. Louis, the “cra- dle ‘of St. Louis professional base- ball” 'in which the Ameriean As- sociation was born' 50 years ago, has revived stories of that almost legendary magnate, Chris von der | Ahe, who ‘built “the structure in the late seventies. Von der Alje—saloon keeper, political boss, horse race promot- er—was the first owner of the St. Lodis Browns of ‘the old Asso- ciation, There were no turnstiles at Sportsman’s Park in those days, but von der Ahe was reputedly able to estimate the size of the crowd by the mumber of empty beer barrels after a game. It was von der Ahe who signed Charles Comiskey, later to achieve fame as owner of the Chicago| White Sox, to manage the Browhs. From 1885 to 1888 the Browns won four world championships in a ro, and were dubbed the “four- ‘time wonders.” One story on von der Ahe, whose enormous walrus mustache, silk hat, Prince Albert coat, strip- eéd trousers and spats made him a conspicuous figure; tells of a certain undersized recruit brought to St. Louis froh Tedar Rapids, Ia., by the late Billy Gleason. “Dot lttle feller!” exclaimed von der Ahe, after one look at the akpiring player. “Take him over to the Fairgrounds track and make a hoss yockey out of him.” The youth, whom Gleason had seouted’ as” a likély looking' third baseman, was ‘John J.
