LIEUTENANT TATUM IS
ON WAY’ BACK TO POST
Lieutenant 3. M. Tatum, who
came up from Fort Gibbon recently
in connection with the case of the
two members of the local guard
who left their posts without leave,
started on the homeward journey to
the army post today, accompanied
by his assistant. They made the
trip to Dunbar’s with a Commission
team, and will connect with the

they learned of his early return t
his station.

| guard, above referred to, have bee
released temporarily from the fee
eral jail and assigned to guard dut

IN OIL FIELDS
! To reside in Texas for any lengtl
of time is to become enthused ovei
•the prospect for future oil develop
ment, according to George W. Pen
nington, former prominent residen
of N'enana, who located in Texa:
shortly after the last session of th.
territorial legislature, of which h<
was a member from this division
Pen has been a resident of severa
oil centers since locating in the bit
state, and the whole country look,
■good to him.
Mr. Pennington, according to :
) letter received in Xenana on th>
last mail, is now located at Amarillo
where he is associated wiih th«
Dixon Creek Oil company, of whiel
' “Tex" Mcllroy, former well-knowi
- Pairbanksan. is president. Pen i:
auditor of the company and has i
large block of stock.
Amarillo is a city of about 25,00(
inhabitants, with many beautifu
homes. About the city, on all sides
are oil derricks, scattered over th<
prairie for a distance of 40 miles
The drilling is not proceeding sc
rapidly there, however, as in some
of the producing fields, but every
one is sure oil will be found wher
the wells reach a sufficient depth.
Tex Mcllroy and his brother have
a store at Amarillo and appear u
be prospering.

Miss Lueile Diven. who is enrout(
to her home in Nenana after .J
visit in the States, left Chitina yes
terday on a Gibson auto stage am
should reach Fairbanks before tht
end of the week, unless delayed bj
snowdrifts on the Richardson trail.
The stage has two other pass
engers—Sergeant Davis, of the sig
nal corps, and Private Imphout—
both of whom are thought to be

CREEK TRAINS ARE
; DELAYED BY STORM
The heavy snow which fell
throughout the district early this
r week has caused a temporary sus
i pension of traffic between Fairbanks
and the creeks, pending the removal
of drifts from the track on the
J Tanana Valley end of the division.
. A rotary was sent out the line this
morning to clear the way for a re
sumption of the creek service, and
the train which was to have mad-:
the run to Chatanika today has beer
held up until the return of the
snowplow.
The train which made the trip tc
North Nenana yesterday had consid
erable difficulty both ways, because
of the snow. It was about eleven
' o'clock last night when the train
reached Garden Island on the re
\ turn trip.
Considerable more snow- is said to
have fallen in the Fairbanks di
strict than on the N'enana end of the
' line.

According to mail advices receiv
! ed from the Kovukuk country this
i week, there is considerable move
ment among the oldtimers of that
i
district this winter, and much talk
' of new paystreaks in process of de
; velopment.
There is unusual activity on Bet
! ties river, where gold was found
; earlier in the year, and it is con
fidently believed that a pavstreak
will be uncovered there. Consider
able work is also being done around
Betties lake, a number of oldtimers
-having moved supplies to that lo
, cality, intending to spend the winter
j there prospecting.
j Reports of much winter activity
iaiso have been received from the
Hog River section, where a number
i of men are engaged in prospecting
; in an effort to find an extension
iof the pay located there early in
, the year.
