The great number of miners
uow on the Hootlanana section is
a good sign. From the prospects
already had over a wide range of
country, with pay now located on
the same creek, in places five miles
apart, it is safe to predict that the
Hootlanana will be the biggest pro
ducer any where in Alaska.
A number of new buildings are
under wav and others will be start
ed shortly This, with the rapid
I
rise in value of city property is|i
healthy sign of returning prc|s
penty.

A number of cabins have been
broken into the past two weeks

most despicable of all thieves is the

The evil results of leaving Rai^i
part without a commissi*.ner ate
becoming more apparent every
day.
