“Will all the churches ever be Epis
copalian?” This will be the subject of
Layman Chijson at St. Andrew’s Sun
day evening.
McHugh & Smith, the freighters, re
turned from over the divide a few days
ago. They delivered over 5,000 pounds
of freight on the various creeks.
John Dufreis, a former resident of
Fairbanks, an until lately an employee
of the Rampart Gold Mines Co., is in
camp.
Privates Kavanagh and. Squires ar
rived from a trip to Ft. Gibbon last
Saturday evening. They reported a
heavy head wind making travelling un
pleasant. While at the post Private
Squires reenlisted for another three
years’ service with Uncle Sam. The
trip was made to enable him to do so.
Dave McQuesten left Eureka road
house last Monday for Fairbanks. He
was delayed on account of a balky horse.
The horse “caulked” itself badly in its
plunges, and had to be left on Eureka.
McQuesten then hired a horse from
McHugh & Smith ancl proceeded on his
way—a sadder but a wiser man, having
only .bought the disabled animal in the
Tanana camp on his prior trip.
Walter Sundborg, the freighter, ar
rived from Fairbanks the early part of
the week after a profitable trip to the
Tanana metropolis. He reports a fair
trail, and that he passed a number of
mushers from Nome bound for the new
camp. Horace Boucher made the trip
round trip with Sundborg. It is most
likely that Sundborg will make another
trip, starting the coming week. Mr.
Goldensmith, who was a passenger from
Rampart, remained at Fairbanks and
will look into the mining situation in
that district.
Local Signal corps men state that the
late breaking of the Seattle-Valdez
■cable was caused by a whale. When
the scable repair steamer Burnsides
under, laid the cable, bringing it to the
surface of the water for examination,
a large whale was hauled up entangled
in the cable. The whale had caught
itself by the lower jaw, and in strug
gling to release itself had only twisted
the c&ble more firmly around the jaw.
The whale was dead having drowned
being unable to exist entirely undei>

of Eure.ka
Hale Williams has been working for

ans are hoisting good pay on 26 above.
George Shirley ana Jim Frazer were
in camp from Huron creek the past
week, returning last 'Wednesday. Shir
ley reports nothing yet found on the
creek, although Kinney McLeod and
son, Neville & Kax'tluke and Frazer and
himself had done considerable work.
Jim Langford was in camp the past
week from Quail creek. Langford re
ports nothing doing in that section. He
returned to Quail Tuesday, and will
help Jack Ostrom and Cap Williams to
land an outfit on the Toolavana, for an
extensive prospecting trip. Langford

the present will remain on Quail.
Bowen & Cooil have struck pay in
another shaft further up the creek on
the bench, and on a line with the shaft
that first located the bench pay on Lit
tle Minook jr. This would tend to in
dicate a terraced bedrock running along
the creek end carrying pay. A similar
condition was fauna on k5a, but on the
opposite bench. In the latter case the
terrace was nearer the creek and con
siderably broken up and. the rim absent.
