Actress Elissa Landi is shown above with Nino Martini, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera.

The story of the Peters Creck Mining Company’s success T began only two years ago, Clifford said, when John McDonald, New York construction man, joined the company. MecDonald’s introduction to the mining business and his resultant success is an interestir hort story Fresh from big building project in the East, and knowing nothing ¢ mining in the least, McDonald wafched the Peters Creck dragl operations one day two years ago Finally he stepped up to the super- intendent of operations. “Is that all there is to this goll mining—moving dirt?” he asked “Right,” replied the superinten- dent “Well, you're " McDon- all wrong ald is understood to have replied “If T couldn’t move twice as much dirt as that outfit is moving, I'd lose { money on any contract in the East for digging basements! McDonald’s bluff was called, and it is understood he bought into the company and took over superin- tending the mining—“digging” to him., “The first year he increased pro- duetion four hundred percent!” Clifford laughed today as the Co- lumbia sailed. Mining-construction man McDon- ald sold out, however, and went Outside for much needed medical reatments— but he promises to re- turn to Alaska, Clifford said. “He might not have known gold when he saw it, but he certainly can move dirt,” Clifford observed. Clifford will stay to the West- ward until September he believes. He has just come from Moose Creek, Idaho, near Salmon City, where a company, interested with the Peters Creek Company, has drilled consid- erable ground We've drilled 14,000,000 yards of ground in that area,” Clifford said. and it looks as though we have ome real dredge ground. It runs around cents, and is the first thing we've hit in the United States in a long time, that really has promise.” s P oo R T MRS. SHAFER BACK FROM EXTENDED VISIT TO OUTSIDE an extended trip Outside which time she visited the Allantic seaboard, Mrs. Sally Shafer of the U. 8.
