No. l'H TWELFTH YEAH.
ON SPRING III 1 1HIIII
The entire local district is feeling
the effects of one of the dryest
springs ever known in the Tanana.
The dry weather, accentuated by
the regularly recurring north winds,
are a feature entirely new to the dis
trict. and one which would give am
ple cause for apprehension, were the J
sky not covered with promising look
ing rain clouds which give hope, if
not water.
All of the creeks are very much;
in actual need of water to work |
with, and many are badly handicap
ped and put to great additional ex
pense by lack of it.
The ground for miles has been so'
burned over that there is no moss;
to sap the water and hold it for
gradual release, as in former years. 1
The timber, too. is about all gonei
from the local mining district, and
the lack of it facilitates the speedy
loss of the one-time plentiful water
supply, by the quick melting o! the
winter snow and the rapiJ mailing
a way of the water.
Those mining on the Ohataniki.
flats are the only ones who will soon
be independent of the drouth by
means of the new ditch which is rap
idly making its way down the Itft
limit of the Chatanika and which
will, in a comparatively short time,
be supplying both lower Cleary and
the Chatanika and Eldorado flats
with a plentiful supply of pure, clean
water. The rest of the district, ap
parently, will be obliged to bide its
time until the heavens loosen up and
deliver here a part of the surplus
which is flooding some of the north
western states. ? Fairbanks Times.

DAWSON, June 10.? The entire
camp is beginning to feel the want
i . rain. The creeks have run almost
dry in many parts, and the winter
dumps remain unwashed. For this
reason many plants have shut down
for a time and this has asaiu increas
ed the number of idle men in camp.
There was a slight shower today, but
not enough to make a difference in
the state of water. Idle men are still
taking small boats for Fairbanks.

is supposed to have fallen a victim
to her Chinese admirer, Leon Ling,
Miss Helen F. Clark, for 17 years
director of the Clark mission in
Worth street, today decried work of
American women missionaries in the
Oriental quarter.
"Morfe women missionaries are de
graded by Chinese men than there
are Chinese converted," emphatically
declared Miss Clark. "It is impossi

the Chinese. The attraction of sex,
rot religion, predominates iu both
cases."
