HAYDEN
STARTS
OUTSIDE
Jack Hayden, the widely-known miner of Patterson creek,
where he is interested with Mr. Snyder in Discovery claim, who
has been very ill for a long time with stomach trouble, was brought
to Hot Springs last Thursday, and will be forwarded to Fairbanks
and the outside with the least possible delay.
Mr. Hayden’s trouble is of such a nature, and has reached such
an advanced stage, that local physicians were unable to success
fully treat it. Devoted friends who are determined that the suf
ferer shall have every care possible, last week hauled the unfortu
nate man to Tanana in the hope that at the army post hospital at
Fort Gibbon some relief would be available. They trip proved of
no advantage, as there was not a surgeon at the post qualified to
operate, and on Monday he started back for Tofty City.
Owing to an attack of rheumatism, Mr. Kanelly, who has been
traveling with Mr. Hayden on his late trips, yesterday morning
found himself physically unable to continue the journey, where
upon Lynn Smith, the Hot Springs jeweler, took charge of Mr.
Hayden and the dogteam and started at once for Fairbanks, hoping
to reach there in time to connect with the Valdez stage on Mon
day. Mr. Smith will make a day’s visit at Chen?, and then return
home.
C. J. Hurley, cashier of the First National bank of Fairbanks,
has been a visitor in the Hot Springs district during the past week,
having arrived on last Saturday’s stage. This is Mr. Hurley’s
first visit to the Springs town and has been thoroughly enjoying
himself, and, at the same time, has been quite busy visiting and
investigating the various creeks of the camp. He visited Sullivan
creek last Sunday and Monday, returning in time to enjoy himself
at the ball on Washington’s birthday. On Wednesday A. V.
Thorns, the mining engineer, hitched up his big dogteam and es
corted the visitor on a trip to Eureka and Pioneer creeks, where
they spent several days “sizing up” the big preparations that have
been made for summer work.
The big swimming tanks at the hotel proved great attractions
for Mr. Hurley, and his indulged his fondness for the water quite
frequently during his stay.
He will leave on Monday’s stage lor Fairbanks.
Good luck is still with the mining firm of Baker, Winde & Jep
son, on the Dakota association, Sullivan creek. On Tuesday last
bedrock was reached in a newr working shaft they were sinking,
and found pay that would stagger the ordinary prospector.
Mr. Baker, who was in the city, on Wednesday received a tele
phone message from one of his partners that a $40 pan had been
found in the new shaft; and also, on Tuesday, in the old shaft
from which they have been hoisting pay all winter, a slug weigh
ing $20 was picked up.
ENJOYABLE SOGIAL

Washington Day
Dance Big Success
The Washington birthday ball was
enjoyed by a lively crowd that comfort
ably filled the lobby of the Hot Springs
hotel last Monday night. The town
people were much disappointed at the
limited attendance from Tofty City, but
all realized that the non-appearance of
many out-of-town ladies was excusable
on account of the very severe weather
during the five days previous to the
event. The dancing, though a trifle
late starting, was kept up until about
2:30 a.m., and the splendid music fur
furnished by Prof, and Mrs. Sellendar
and Mr. Reynolds, with his violin, made
the time pass only too quickly.
A very pleasant feature which proved
a great surprise to the unsuspecting
was the presence of many ladies
! elegantly gowned in the colonial-days
fashion, with powdered hair and “real
cute” little curls. The novelty was
quite picturesque, and called forth
many rapturous encomiums.
Aside from the enterprise displayed
by the hotel management in furnishing
transportation from the creeks, the
splendid supper occasioned many pleas
ant remarks from the guests of the
evening, and Chef Knabel and assist
ants served the big crowd most satis
factorily. _____________

Miscalculation
A man by the name of Evans died
and went to heaven, of course. When
he arrived at the pearly gates he said
to St. Peter:
“Well, I’m here.”
St. Peter looked at him and asked
his name.
“John Evans,” was the reply.
St. Peter looked through his book
and shook his head. “You don’t belong
here,” he said, pointing to the exit.
“But I am sure I belong here,” said
the man.
“Wait a minute,” said St. Petet. He
looked again, and in the back of the
book found his name.
“Sure,” said the guardian of the
gate,“you belong here, but you weren’t
expected for 20 years. Who’s your
doctor?”—Ex.

Congress Becoming
Very Economical
—
Washington, Feb. 26.—The house refuses to approve the sen
ate’s amendment to the law governing the salaries of federal offi
cials. The amendment objected to by the house was the increase
of the President’s salary to $100,000 per year. The house, being
in an economical mood, placed the salary at $<5,000 per annum, and
sent the measure back to the senate for reconsideration.
The house has voted to reduce the salary of the secretary of
state to $8,000 per year, and has withdrawn its objections to the
appointment of Philander C. Knox to that position in President
Taft’s cabinet. _____

vote yesterday passed a widely-discussed bill which permits boxing

TOM LONGBOAT “BOGGED” IT
Buffalo, Feb. 26.—Tom Longboat, the champion runner, has
just made known his refusal to meet Shrubb in the Marathan race
has been.advertised to take place tonight. Dorando, the plucky
little Italian runner who came near winning the championship on
several former occasions, has been substituted for the Indian.
I do not covet the rich man’s hoard;
for the rich man sits at his groaning
board, and fears to eat of the pie and
cake, lest the blamed things give him
the bellyache. While I sit down to a
plain repast, and eat and eat while the
victuals last, I feed my face with a
pound of steak, and a lot of greens and j
a chunk of cake, and a piece of pie and j
a wad of cheese; and a cold boiled ham
and a cart of peas, and having eaten an
abundant store, I shake myself once
and eat some more. The rich man lies
on a downy bed, but. sleep won’t come
to his worried head; lie harks to tlio
slow hours dragging hence—while lean
sleep on a barb wire fence.—Walt
Mason.
