OFF FOR M MR
?
Walter Jones, who arrived up on one
of the late boats, and who bus been
stopping at the Fifth Avenue, started
this morning for thg long trip to the
upper Cnandelar, where ha has mining
interest*.
"There is good pav on Bie creek on
the north fork of tbe Chande!ar," said
Mr, Jones yesterday. "There are about
150 people in tbe diggings, and a town
called Caro, after tbe daughter of Major
Clun , ros; master of Fairbanks, is lo
cated at the mouth of Flat creek.
Some 500,000 was taken out of three
claims last s.*ason. "
Discovery is owned by Mr. Jones and
C. E Bold*. The country is almost un
prospeced, there having been but three
or four holes put to bed rock as yet.
Good pay has also been found on t^e
benches just above discovery. High'
expectations have been raised by the
finding of quartz in tbe bed of the
creek, uncovered last summer Some
float which ran #4,000 to the ton, led to
prospecting; for the quartz. A ledge
has been uncovered for sixteen feet,
samples of which average in the assays
about $50. Jones, Bolds, Sam Olson and
Arthur Newton are jointly Interested
In the quartz properties.
Caro is 100 miles above the arctic cir
cle and 80 miles from Coldfoot although
across a divide and in another district.
The C. E. Bolds referred to is the
man who brought out to Valdez in De
cember the report of the big And on
NoUn creek which ha* been so widely
heralded and the quartz referred to by
Mr Jones is the same that Bolds was
reported as bringing out for assay and
exhibition. Mr. Jones knew nothing
further about the Nolan creek And. He
believes, however, that big things are
to b? looked for from that country which
has been so long the despair of the
prospector.

? ?????
That the Whitrhorse brass band will
make its ioltial appearance by playing
the "Wearing of the Green"
for the grand march at the St. Patrick's
day ball at Whitehorse.has been noted.
It appears that this was brought about
through the offer of a prize by Harry
Gilshen, of the dominion telegraph of
fice, of $25, if the band could learn to
play the selection acceptably bv the
time stated. The band went after the
prize with the result that the "Wear
ing of the Green" is now the piece de
residence, (a term respectfully referr
ed to the Stroller for use when be re
reports the affair) on their reportoire.
? ?????
Strolior White will mike a special
trip over here tomorrow to be adorned
with horns, and the locil lodge of Elks
is to hold a special meeting tomorrow
evening to give them to him. This is a
concession to the Stroller who, it is con
ceded, if he is found able to stand the
orjeal, will be an aquisition to Elkdom,
for no man may, by the strength of bi3J
left arm, drtak the 11 o'clock toast with
better grace or so fully meet the do
mands of a jink*? high or low. The
fact that Mr. White prints h!s paper i n
Thursday provents his attendance upon
a regular session of the lodge Thursday
evening.

The
General Demand
of tho Well-Informed of tho World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxativo romedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com
ponent parts are known to tliom to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acccptablc to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
the preference by the Well-informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine ? manufactured by the Cali

by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
