DETAILS OF MOM t CARLO
The big Moff:e Carte dance and
entertainment to be given under the
auspices of the Xenana Comercial
Club for the purpose of raising funds
to properly advertise Nenana, is
surely going to be the biggest thing
ever pulled off in Xenana in this
line. »
The various committees appointed
to look after the details of the af
fairs are busy perfecting them, an 1
on the eventful night. March 17,
■when the dance will be pulled off,
everything that could possibly be
done toward its success, will have
been accomplished. ,
Tickets in book form, with de
tachable coupon entitling the hold
er to four dance tickets, will be on
sale in the course of a few days
at one dollar each. This combina
tion ticket and program has been
artistically gc: up to sem e as an
interesting souvenir of the dance.
Several special and novel features
will oe introduced during the course
of the dance, one of which will be
the creeks, Eldorado, Coldstream.
Dominion and others if necessary,
on which claims can be staked and
prospected. Large cakes about a
inches thick will represent the
creek', a quantity of real honest-to
goodr.es; gold nuggets will enter in
to the composition of the cakes be
fore being baked so that their loca
tion will be known to no one. The
cakes will be divided into squares,
representing claims, on some of
which gold will be found, and for
a modest “recording fee" claims can
be staked.
No groups or association claims
will be allowed, partnership claims
are not barred, but no one can stake
more than two claims on a creek.
Numbered stakes with a card
bearing the corresponding number
will be issued to the ‘‘prospector"
at the time of staking. At a stat
ed time, which will be duly announc
ed during the course of the dance,
“patents” will be issued; which
means that all those who hare stak
ed claims must be on hand when
their names are called to receive
their “ground.” The ciaims of those
who are absent at the time can b;
jumped on payment of a small “re
cording fee.” “Jedge" P.cy outh
worth of the kangaroo court will
with strict impartiality, ee that tne
“legal requirements” are met
Should the “pay” be located on the
boundary line between any two
claims, the “Jedge” will try the .s
sue and decide accordingly.
Arrangements for having ;r; best
music available in town are under
way and no stone will i>e left un
turned to make “Monte Carlo” an
event to be remembered.
Alick Mitchell of the Mt. McKin
ley Gold Flacers Inc., who had been
visiting in Fairbanks for the past
week returned to Nenana on Sun
day night’s train. He will be leav
ing shortly for his comp near the
McKinley river.

fillowing is a part:
“As Nenana. Alaska, is a closed

we are unable to fill your order
until the opening of navigation
which will be about June 1st. At
that time the articles you have or
dered will be MAILED you unless
