Fairbanks, where she has been visit
ing during the last several days.
Robert McConnel, an oldtim
trapper who returned to Dawso
recently from the Upper Klondik
valley, where he spent the wiwnte
brought in a fine line of furs c
various kinds, and among them
freak specimen which has been e3
citing considerable comment amon
fur fans. Some think the animi
from which it was taken was a
off-shot of the tiger family, as
has markings not unlike that roys
outlaw of the tropics. The strang
new pelt is thirty-eight inches Ion
and has an average width of eigl
inches. It is a sort of tan colo
and has markngs on the breast an
along the ribs similar to those of
large striped gray house-cat. Som
think perhaps some old feline strat
ed into the hills, and formed a
alliance with some other denize
of the forest in bringing out a ne'
line of fur bearing creatures, whil
others say possibly it was just a
evolution of Old Tom himself.
E. B. Gibbs of Spokane presider

porarily, with the exception of tw
men, as it is the intention of th

in the fall. Surface indications t

been very satisfactory, and it i
for that reason that lower tunn<
work will be started.

j Sow that the Standard oil tanks
are assured, the people of Seward
are beginning to show a little more
optimism and less fiult finding,

climatic conditions and location
made it possible to do without the
harbor. We believe our worst days
are over and that from now on a
good healthy growth will be appar
ent.
