RICH STRIKE REPORTED
ON ELDORADO CREEK
A rich strike is reported to have been made on Eldorado creek
this week which will put that stream well in the front as a pro
ducer if the pay holds up as good as the present reports has it.
The news of the strike was given out by Pat Welch, who says
that two feet of 20-cent dirt has been found. Mr. Welch has been
on this creek for the past year, and is in a position to know what
has been found. He has shown his faith in the creek by staying
with it, and now thinks he has landed on the pay without fail.
The two Japs who are working on the creek are as yet not to
bedrock, but have found good prospects already in the gravel.
The report of this strike has caused a small stampede to this
creek and parties who have ground there are now looking to the
lines and their posts with a view of preventing any jumping or
conflicting claims on thd creek.
MINER ARRESTED
FOR STEALING GOLD
Seattle, Nov. 19.—R. R. Reed, from Fairbanks, has been ar
rested here and is now held under bonds of $10,000 on the charge
of having robbed a claim on Dome creek of $18,000during the past
year. The assertions of those who are prosecuting Reed and Dave
Carmack, his alleged accomplice who will be the principal witness
against him, are that Reed secreted the gold in his shoes and
mouth while at work, and thus conveyed them to his cabin.
Reed arrived here about the first of October, coming south on
the Victorian. He sold most of his dust to the banks, but $2200
worth of it has been recovered.
Reed denies his guilt and claims he has been misrepresented.
He claims a partnership in the ground, and says all the money he
has is $1600.
LOS ANGELES HAS
A COSTLY BIG FIRE
Los Angeles, Nov. 20.—Last Monday this city suffered
a fire loss of two million dollars. For a time it appeared
that the entire business section would be burned, as the fire
department seemed to be unable to check it at all. No
lives were lost, and the property was all fully insured.

TWO BUILDINGS
BURNED AT TOFTY
The Northern Saloon and the barn belonging to the Discovery
Roadhouse were destroyed by fire at 2:30 o’clock on Friday morn
ing. Both buildings were burned to the ground and the loss will
amount to about $3,800, of which amount Hunter & Connell, own
ers of the Northern, sustain about $3,000.
The tire was caused by an overheated stovepipe which ignited
the moss around the flue on the roof. It was discovered by Jack
O’Hara who was sleeping upstairs at the time. He called to the
people downstairs, where there was a small ^crowd, and several
pails of water were passed up to him but the fire had gained such
headway that it was impossible to check it. The flames spread
rapidly and the building was soon a roaring furnace. It was im
possible to save any stock, and even the money till was lost, those
present finding it necessary to leave the building immediately after
their efforts to extinguish the fire had proven unavailing.
The fire soon spread to the Discovery Roadhouse barn and
that* was soon a heap of ashes.
Hunter & Connell are undecided as to whether they will re
open or not but will know in,a day or two. The barn which was
owned by C. R. Corbusier and Frank Smith will be immediately
rebuilt.
THANKSGIVING
IN HOT SPRINGS
Next Thursday Thanksgiving day will be celebrated by the

different families are ordering their turkeys and making prepara
tions for the big dinner. All the restaurants are preparing elab
orate bills of fare, and the good things that can be had for a dollar
is an eye opener to the people of this city.
In the evening the big kimono ball will be held, and it is ex
pected there will be a very large attendance. Many people com
ing in from the creeks to spend the day in town, and a merry gath
ering is assured.
TELEPHONE AGENT
COMMITS SUICIDE
Queenstown, Nov. 20.—While enroute to this city from
Cherbourg, John Krause of San Francisco, special agent of
the Pacific States Telephone Company, cut his throat with
a safety razor, and was dead when discovered. The cause
of the man’s suicide is unknown, but it was observed by his
fellow passengers just previous to the tragedy that he
seemed very nervous and ill at ease.
San Francisco, Nov. 2d.—John Krause, who committed
suicide while enroute from Cherbourg to Queensland, was
wanted in this city in connection with the graft prosecu
tions, and it is supposed that this fact led to his self-de
struction.
CHINESE ROYALTY
KILLED BY POISON
Washington, Nov. 20.- -It is now admitted in diplo
matic circles that the deaths of the Emperor and Dowager
Empress of China were due to slow poison administered by
enemies. This fact is becoming known to the people of
China, and it is feared that a revolution will be the result
of the heartless conspiracy.
NEWS OF THE WEEK
Albert Bergin, a former Alaskan miner, committed suicide at
Helena, Mont., last week. For some time Bergin had been acting
queerly, and early last week he threw money orders, payable to
himself amounting to about $2000, in the stove where they were
burned. Later he realized what he had done, and thinking that
the money was beyond redemption, he shot himself, dying almost
instantly.
A special session of congress will be called soon after Taft’s
inauguration on March 4 to consider tariff revision. This an
nouncement was made by President-elect Taft in Washington last
Saturday after a lengthy conference with President Roosevelt. It
is not thought that any material changes will be made in the pres
ent tariff schedule.
The balloon “American,” in charge of Captain Mueller, the
well-known aeronaut, started from Los Angeles last week on a
journey across the continent. The balloon will travel as far as it
can, as it is Captain Mueller’s intention to break all long-distance
records if possible.
The Dowager Empress of China is dead, her death following
close after that of the young Emperor. An edict has been issued
proclaiming Prince Puyi, the 3-year-old son of the late Emperor,
the new ruler with Prince Chun as regent. No distress has been
manifested by the people of China over the death of the aged Dow
ager Empress, who has been the real ruler of the Flowery King
dom for many years. . #
The Liberals won the recent general election in Cuba, and
General Gomez was elected President, carrying every province.
The election was the most quiet in the history of Cuba, as there
was no disorder at any time or place. -
