M'». Brevig Write* That Spirt City
1* Enjoying Boom of Very
Large Proportions.
Writing to her husband from
Vancouver, under date of August
14, Mrs. J. A. Brevig, who left
Nenana for the Outside a few we > <5
ago, tells of having made a visit
to Seattle recently, where she found
the war spirit very much in evi
dence and the streets tro.vdvd \%-'th
people as never befor;. The war
has transformed old Vancouver into
a very lively place, she says, but
the activity there does not begin to
compare with that of the Puget,
Sound city. Another thing that she
noticed in Seattle was the very
strict application of food regula
tions, the restrictions on the Ameri
can side being somewhat more rigid
than in Canada.
Among the Northerners seen in
Seattle were Ed Melnnes, Jack
Green and others. Charles Herron
had left Seattle and when last re
ported was working at his trade
some place in Georgia. Mrs. Mc
Gibney was seen on the street in
Vancouver.
The traffic on Seattle’s busy
thoroughfares is such, Mrs. Brevig
says, that it is a serious undertaking
to attempt to cross from one side
to the other.

CLD BUILDINGS
AT TOMBSTONE
RECALL BIG DATS1
- !
TOMBSTONE, Ariz—The Bird
Cage opera house, the Can-Can rest
aurant, the Red Light saloon and
the Tucson stage office remain as
relics of Tomstone’s one time glory
as a mining ci'mp. These old build
ings were \>nce the scenes of the
pioneer Arizona mining camp but
are now occupied by bats and are
slowly falling into decay.
The Bird Cage opera house was
the most famous in the territory.
It is a rambling, two-story structure
with the glass in the rough board
front broken by the eltments. A
long bar occupies one end of the
building, while the piano player’s
raised platform faces it at the oppo
site end. It was on this platform
that the famous sign hung which
; read; “Do not shoot the piano
I player. He is doing the best he
jean.” A gallery extends around
three sides of the opera house and
the stage occupies the fourth side.
! On this stage the most famous vari
ety performers from San Francisco
appeared in the old days. Litho
graphs announcing their coming still
hang on the walls of th^ opera house
the ink still bright upon them. A
dumb waiter connects the bar with
the gallery above where drinks were
served at tables placed in each of
the little rooms which open onto
the big dancing floor. Many kill
ings have occurred in the Bird Cage
and it has been the scene of a num
ber of western stories of frontier
life.
At the Can-Can restaurant steaks
once sold for $5 each and men
waited in line to be served, at the
height of the Tombstone gold boom.
The Red Light saloon was a gambling
house and the discarded roulette
and faro layouts may be seen stack
ed in the rear of the big building
with its broken bar and mahogany
fixtures. The stage office is an
adobe building with a corral flank
ing it and it was there that the
stage from Tucson pulled in each
day and the early settlers received
their mail from the outside world.
Another relic of old Tombstone is
the monument erected to Ed St^eff
lein the founder of Tombstone and
the man who gave it his name. The
monument is built of boulders from
Scheffleins’s first mine.
A cowboy in the Panhandle told
Schefflein that he would not find
gold but a tombstone in his Quest
of a gold mine in the Huaehuca
mountains. Schefflein found gold
and named the town of Tombstone,
remembering his friend’s prediction.
When he died his body was returned
here and the tombstone erected at
the spot where he made the gold
strike that caused a great rush to
this camp.

FOR DOCK DINNER
The launch Overland under the ’
command of Roy Lund will leave j
Nenana at midnight sharp, bound j
for the Minto Lake country with a '
party of Nenana nimrods. They'
are making for the duck pastures
adjacent to the Minto Lake country
and expect to return with the limit
allowed to each one under the game
laws.
The party leaving is composed of
Dr. Myers, Andy Hoey, Tom Mat
thews, Ed Jamieson and Larry
O’Keefe. They will probably return
to town tomorow night loaded down
with the toothsome birds. All of j
those in the party are known to |
be crack shots and they will, no
doubt, do fearful execution in the
ranks of the ducks and geese.
