According to wireless' advices re
ceived at Fairbanks from the Tolovana
district, Mrs. George Wheeler is in a
^8*ecarious condition as the result of
exposure on t^ie trail during the recent
severe weather. Both of the unfortu

Without being required to make any
particularly strenuous effort or scour
the district in the pursuit of names,
Bob Small and Alex Frazer have se
cured the signatures of twenty-five pio
neers of Alaska to an application foi
a charter for an igloo to be established
in Hyder. Most of the signers carry
cards from other towns, and will trans
fer when a charter is granted. It is

James McIntosh, Brooks oldtimer,
who arrived in Fairbanks last week
from a winter in the states, says
Alaska looks very good to him after
what he saw on the outside. Con
ditions, he reports, are decidely bad,
prices are sky high, the climates he
encountered were bad, and the flu
epidemic was everywhere he went,
from Sattle to Texas. Texas, he says,
has a worst climate of them all, a
condition that is hardly offset by the
big money in circulation.

that he is doing well, but there is
no water in the town fit to serve on
the table and the climate is such that
“Smithy” wishes he were back in
Alaska. He says his father, who has
spent many years in the North, is now
in Seattle and may return to Alaska
in the spring.

Mike Hess creek. Farman & Jones
have been prospecting extensively on
the creek, and in their last holes have
struck paying bedrock. Mike Hess
is in the Tolovana district, and a
small stampede has been started from
Brooks. It has been believed for
years that a workable paystreak would
bo lined up on that portion of the
creek where it has just been struck,
and there have been many in the
Livengood camp wating it. If the
find proves as good as expected Mike
Hess will prove an impetus to mining
Activities in that district next summer.
