Will Be a
Joyous Night
The committee in charge of the
Christmas tree, entertainment and
dance to be given on Christmas eve by
the Arctic Brotherhood have nearly
completed their labors,and are regard
ing their work with satisfaction.
The program which they have pre
pared, they say, is one which will
surely please even a most critical audi
ence, and the arrangements for the
dance are such that the most delight
ful hop of the season is promised all
who attend. Good music has been se
cured for the occasion, and everybody
in the surrounding country will be
there which will insure a good time.
The Christmas tree, which will be
the crowning feature of the evening, is
being all planned and many people have
already handed in gifts to the commit
tee which they wish given to their
friends on Christmas eve. The decora
tions for the tree are not yet complete,
however, and the ladies of the city are
requested to meet at Mrs. jNellany’s
on December 22nd and bring along
their needles, when popcorn will be
strung and the decorations completed.
Hauling Wood
on the Creeks
Since the last snow fell several of
the claim owners on Sullivan have been
having large quantities of wood placed
upon their ground.
At present wood is cheap and within
easy hauling distance on the creek but
the trees are small and it is only the
matter of a year or so until wood will
be the most expensive item in mining
on Sullivan. In consequence of this
scarcity several owners are contracting
for large quantities for future delivery.

Commissioner
Leaves Monday
Commissioner Bevington will leave
Monday for Fairbanks where he is sub
poenaed as a witness in the Gibson case.
He finds it necessary to get away at
this time on account of the stage sched- ‘
ule which makes it obligatory to leave
thus early in order to arrive there in
time for the case in which he is inter
ested which is called on the twenty
eighth.
In consequence of his absence, any
court matters that ivere set for dates
later than December 21st will have to
be postponed until after his return,
which will be as soon as he can ar
range.
Have a Very
Pleasant Time
Sunday evening a small number of
Mr. J. E. Baker’s friends paid that
gentleman a visit to his rooms over the
N. C. store. The evening was spent
listening to J. E.’s phonograph for
which he has a large number of rec
ords and which were very much en
joyed.
It is very probable that Mr. Baker
has the coziest bachelor rooms to be
found in this part of Alaska. The dec
orations which are many and varied,
show many phases of Alaskan life and
sport. __
Thaw’s Aunt Dies a Lunatic
New York, Dec. 18.—Harriet
Thaw, an aunt of Harry Thaw
who killed Stanford White, died
in a Philadelphia insane asylum
yesterday. The fact that his
aunt was a hopeless lunatic has
had much weight in causing
many to adhere to the belief that
Harry Thaw is really insane.
H. R. Krough was a visitor from Sul
1 livan at Kemperville last Saturday.
WILL NOT TESTIFY
AGAINST HUSBAND
New York, Dec. lS.-^-The wife of Captain Peter Hains will not
testify against her husband, who is now on trial charged with the
murder of Annis, the New York publisher. On account of the
prominence of the parties concerned in the tragedy and the scan
dal which was responsible for the murder, this trial is attracting
a great deal of attention. The refusal of the woman to testify
against her husband is a severe blow to the prosecution, who had
expected her to give some very (Jamaging testimony.
CHIEF BIGGY’S BODY
FOUND IN THE BAY
San Francisco. Dec. 18.—The body of Chief of Police Biggy,
who committed suicide several weeks ago, was found in the bay on
Tuesday. The remains were in.-a good state of preservation, and
no difficulty was experienced in identification. As yet no more
light has been shed on the causes which led to the suicide, and it
is still claimed by many that he was in collusion with the Ruef
crowd and committed suicide to escape exposure which he thought
was imminent.

return before the holidays.
A pleasant social dance was enjoyed
by a small crowd last Saturday night.
A large bone supposed to be part of
a mastodon was found on Sullivan creek
this week. Nobody who has seen it as
yet is able to tell just what part of the
animal it was, but the majority seem to
believe that it was part of tho hipbone.
Sam Heeter, the well-kpown old-time
Rampart freighter, ,w.as ift the *city
Tuesday. Mr. Heeter is going to Fair
banks where he will act as a juryman
during the coming term of court. He

Paddy Welch, who sustained a very
! serious injury last week, is doing very
! well under the care of Dr. Conley, the
J Hot Springs physician. He expects to

! time.
I “Admiral” Dewey returned to the
city last Sunday after a short visit to
Sullivan, where he had several jobs of
interior decorating.
J. Fred Strut hers, who is prospecting
i on the Midnight Sun association where
. he and his associates have a lay, ex
! pects to arrive in this city Sunday ev
I ening enroute to Fairbanks. The
j ground where J. Fred is prospecting is
looking very promising, and if a good
line of pay is located a big plant will
be placed on the ground before spring.
Dogs Condemned
by Government
This week about twelve or fifteen
dogs belonging to the Signal corps,
which have been assigned to the differ
ent stations between here and Fair
banks, were taken to Fort Gibbon
where they will be condemned, and
younger ones sent out to take their
places.
Every year it is necessary to replace
some of these dogs, many of which be
come played out if there is much hard
traveling during the winter.

Good Dinners
at Restaurants
The restaurants of this camp are
doing their share to make Christmas
day one to be remembered by the peo
ple hereabouts. A glance at the bills
of fare is enough to make one satisfied
to spend this day here where a dinner
such as is offered can be had for the
nominal sum asked.
As a result of the good dinners pre
pared at the different eating places
very few of the families will prepare a
Christmas dinner at home, prefering
to eat their dinners out, and avoid the
unnecessary work and worry of cooking
a big feast.
Prospecting
on Biowback
Several new outfits have started to
work on Biowback creek during the
past two weeks, and are now getting a
number of holes well down to bedrock.
The West fork is the scene of the lat
est prospecting, and the men who are
located there believe they have a good
chance of landing on the pay.
Prospects have been obtained on
Biowback at several different points,
but at no place have the miners been
able to get pay. Notwithstanding
former failures many are still con
vinced that this creek has a paystreak,
and are going to continue looking for it
until it is located.
Blodget Back
From Fairbanks
James Blodget the freighter, re
turned this weok from a trip to Fair
banks where he had a load of freight
for this city. The principal part of his
load was a mining plant for Pierson &
Sutherland to be placed on the Suther
land bench opposite discovery.
Mr. Pierson made a irip to Fairbanks
early this winter to purchase the plant'
and immediately gave Blodget the con
tract for hauling it down here.

Restaurant
Closes Down
The restaurant and short-order
counter in connection with the Club
saloon on Sullivan creek was closed on
Wednesday and will not reopen until
spring.
The building in which the saloon and
restaurant were both housed was found
to be too small to comfortably accom
modate the trade, and it was decided
to close the restaurant until later in
the season. Mr. Postlewaite is con
templating building a large annex to
his popular house, after which he will
have plenty of room and can then re
open his cafe.
Destruction of
Trail Signs
Several of the enterprising business
men of this district have placed signs
advertising their business along the
several trails leading to this city. Dur
the past few weeks many of these signs
have been maliciously destroyed by
some mean-spirited person or persons
who seem to take delight in destroying
property belonging to others just be
cause they have the chance. In every
community there are those who are
built along these linos, and are of such
small calibre that they really enjoy
wanton destruction of property. It is
only fair to warn these vandals that
sooner or later they are sure to he
caught, and the result will probably be
an enforced retirement from active life*
for some time.
Erected New
Mile Posts
Jim Drummond, of the Discovery
roadhouse on Sullivan, has placed mile
posts on all the roads leading to Tofty
for a distance of five miles from his
place of business.
The miles were all measured with a
100-ft. tape line, and are warranted ac
curate although Jim has to explain
this fact to every musher who comes in
and criticizes the length of the
stretches between signs,
