FARNAM BRINGS
IN FIRST POKE
Prank Farnam, of Farnam, Sauski & Co., on the Midnight Sun
association, Sullivan creek, arrived in Hot Springs early last
Thursday morning carrying with him on horseback a goodly pro
portion of the two clean-ups recently made from their winter
dump. This was the first dust in any quantity to reach Hot
Springs this year.
Mr. Farnam expressed himself as being well pleased with the
results of their wash-ups, and feel sure that the receipts from the
entire dump will realize his calculations.
DREDGING
ON FAIRBANKS CREEK
Fairbanks, May 14.--A dredging company, said to be backed
by capital to the amount of $500,000, has representatives on Fair
banks creek buying up claims on which they propose to operate
this summer. They have already secured sufficient ground to war
rant the installation of a mammoth dredger. The number of dred
gers they will operate after this year depends entirely on their
success in securing suitable ground for dredging purposes.
WILLOW CREEK
OF
Fairbanks, May 14.—Big excitement was caused last Tuesday
among quartz promoters- which has not as yet subsided, over the
reported discovery of quartz on Willow creek, at the head of
Cleary creek, which assays $1000 to' the ton. Many people from
this city and the neighboring creeks flocked to the scene of the
strike to investigate the matter, and also to stake something if any
thing was left unstaked.
FLORENCES.
FIRST COAT
The good ship Florence S. was
the first vessel to visit the Hot
Springs ports this season. She
laid up at Tolovana during the
winter, and on last Thursday
evening left her berth and made
a run down to Kemperville,
where, for her up-river trip, she
picked up a number of passen
gers, among whom were Mr. and
Mrs. Smith and little son, form
erly of the Halfway roadhouse
on the Sullivan trail, who are re
turning to their home in Fair
banks.
At Hot Springs landing sev
eral additional passengers were
taken aboard bound for the Tan
ana metropolis.
MADE IN HOT SPRINGS
An attractive new bar now adorns
the Headquarters saloon, and it is a
neat piece of work, too. The bar was
made in Hot Springs by Mr. Lilwall,
the carpenter, and with the materials
at hand is a creditable piece of work.
Don't Got Soaking Wet
While working outside. Carter’s store,
Sullivan creek, has just unpacked a
splendid line of hip rubberboots, slick
ers and sou’westers—all guaranteed to
keep you well sheltered.
To make the punishment fit the
-crime, a Kensington barber says that
men who shave themselves ought to be
compelled to cut their own hair.

woman doesn’t take into consideration

Don’t run about with wet feet—see
Traeger’s big stock of rubber foot-wear
at low prices.
Don’t stretch the truth; it is apt to
jfly back and sting you.
Health is wealth, but not for the
Sector,
The sudden fall of the water in
Hot Springs slough immediately
following the break-up of the
Tanana river, has caused much
ice to jam in its sluggish water
at the lower, end, which looks as
though it was there to stay until
Old Sol’s rays makes it melt.
This state of the water causes
much irritation among local boat
men. Especially is this true in
The Commodore’s case—who has
everything aboard the flagship
Zodiac in splendid shape from the
tip of the rudder to the new italic
nightcap on the smokestack.
C. D. Carter, the dentist-dru&
gist-merchant of Sullivan creek,
mushed into town Friday even
ing to attend to some urgent busi
ness matters. Dr. Carter’s store
is exceptionally well equipped,
I and he is constantly adding to his
variety of wares. That the peo
ple appreciate his wide-awake
business methods is attested by
his ever-growing trade.
Lynn Smith is now on Sullivan
creek looking over the mining
situation on all the creeks in that
vicinity, and when he gets over
them he will come mighty near
knowing the actual state of af
fairs as they are at present, and
will also possess a splendid in
sight of the camp’s future.
O. A. Carruthers is establish
ing himself in a place of business
at Hot Springs Landing, and will
have everything in readiness by
the time river navigation is in
full swing.
. The boys at the local signal
corps office have lately completed
a well-built corral to be used as
summer playground for the gov
ernment’s dogteam.
BROUGHT SOME MAIL
George Carey and Mr. Dewey,
the painter, were the first arriv
als by water from the upper-river
country. They left Fairbanks
on Tuesday morning last in a
small boat, came to Tolovana,
where they connected with the
steamer Florence S., and on her
they traveled to Hot Springs
landing, arriving early yester
day morning.
They brought with them a con
signment of first-class mail.
FROMEUREKA
Cbute & Co., on Glen gulch,
have quit operating their big
drill on account of a shortage of
casing, and now have a force of
men at work building a ditch
from Pioneer to their workings,
a distance of about three miles,
and expect to have the water
running through it in two weeks’
time. This ditch will provide an
abundance of water for the boxes
and its cost will not exceed $3000.
E. J. Ives, who has spent the
past winter on Sullivan creek, has
taken a lay on Eclipse bar, situ
ated between Thanksgiving and
Chicago creeks, and is now mak
ing ready to begin operations on
the ground. _
Jerry Ford leaves in a day or
two on a trip to the Hootlinana,
where Ferguson & Palmer are
prospecting with a Keystone
drill. He is interested in some
very promising ground in that
vicinity with his cousin, Dr. Con
ley, the Hot Springs physician.
Marshal Drake went to Kera
perville last Thursday with nine
dogs, which he left at the canine
summer resort owTned and oper
ated by C. Cudebaugh, the well
known student of social eco
nomics.
COMING AND GOING
Mr. Olson, founder of Olsonopolis,
was a visitor inHhe city Wednesday.
Jack (Dempsey) Desmond arrived in
the city last Thursday on a short trip.
Lawrence S. Remus was among those
who left the Springs last Sunday for
the Thanksgiving creek diggings.
Harry Togothankyu, the genial pat
riarch of the local Japanese colony,
started for Eureka creek per mushing
last Sunday morning.
William Burke, the genial manicur
ist for the Hot Springs tentacle of the
Octopus, went to Sullivan creek last
Thursday on a short business trip.
Billy Smuck, who came in from Sul
livan creek recently, will leave in a
few days for Gibbon, where he will be
employed in Straight’s restaurant.
Mayor Calderhead, the leading wharf
master and packer of Olsonopolis, came
to town last Thursday with his pack
train, loaded up with freight and hiked
Sullivanward.
John Evans, the exponent of the
manly art of self-defense, with a large
sized pack strapped to his good right
shoulder, started for Eureka creek last
Tuesday, where he expects to remain
all summer.
Michael Kingston took up the white
man’s burden last Monday morning by j
carrying a large pack, wrapped snugly
in a yellow slicker, to Thanksgiving
creek. Mike will help swell the sea
son’s gold output in that locality.
Bert Wilson, who went to Thanks
giving creek last Thursday week to
cook for the Curry & Ait ken mining
outfit, returned two days later, the
“layout” not being exactly to his
“blooming liking, don’t ye know”—the
management, in the hurry of getting
started, had inadverdently neglected to
supply the chef with a 14-foot range,
Mr. Wilson’s favorite size. But withal,
he enjoyed a “bioody good stroll.”
A job-lot of good serviceable shoes
just added to the stock of Dr. Carter’s
store on Sullivan creek. Waterproof
and rubber shoes of standard makes in 1
all sizes and styles. Prices right, too. j
Fine dress shoes for the good old!
summer lime in Traeger’s big stock. 1
BENEFIT BALL
Hot Springs Hotel,
Saturday Eve., May 15th.
Splendid Music and Plenty of It
This social function is being promoted by the ladies of
Hot Springs for the benefit of Mrs. Geo. Carey, a most
worthy and hard-working woman of this city, who has been
confined to her bed for more than a month, causing disas
trous inroads on her resources. Mrs. Carey is well and
favoi ably known to all, and the very low price of the tickets
easily places one or more within the reach of all.

KILLED ON MASTODON
Old timers in the camp will
learn with regret of the death of
Pete Rasmussen, on 14-a. Masto
don creek, April 10. The de
ceased, who was working the
claim in partnership with Peter
Anderson, was engaged in tim
bering the drift wThen the timbers
gave way, burying him under
neath and killing him instantly.
Pete Rasmussen was well known in
the Circle camp, having come into that
country in ’96. He formerly worked
some ground on Miller creek. Many
old timers who left the Tanana during
the grub shortage in 1903 and landed in
the Circle camp broke are indebted to
Pete for a helping hand, his hospitality
being indeed a byeword in a camp
where hospitality is the rule. The de
ceased was buried in the Circle ceme
tery on April 13, the funeral being con
ducted by Commissioner Dodson, of
Circle.—Fairbanks Bulletin.
