LLOYDS BELL SOUNDS FOR
SHIP LONG THOUGHT LOSTj
LONDON, May 1.—Lloyds Under
writers have had the unusual experi
ence of hearing the famous “Lutine
Bell” twice in three days. This bci!
was taken from the warship "Lutine"
in 1799, and is used to announce the
loss or arrival of overdue vessels.
Two strokes of the bell v as tol
lowed by the announcement that the
overdue sailing vessel John on which
reiisurances had been paid had ar
rived at Lisbon. Two days later the
room again heaid two strokes of the
I hell and also heaid to its emazeiuent
j t.hat the back i.eiald had reached
port after beir.g two months overdue.
Reinsurance up to 75 guineas per
100 pounds had been taken out on
the Herald which was last reported
off Bali, Sumatra, in October, and it
is very seldom a ship arrives after
having been missing so long.

FAYSTREAK FOUND IN
POORMAN DISTRICT
POORMAN, Apr. 12—The Poorman
section is again coming to the front
and a vast amount of work has been
done in this vicinity during the past
winter, and with a new paystreak
showing up on Timber creek, one of
the largest in the district, there is
much promise of a long-lifed camp.
The following shows some of the
operations during the past winter:
On Flat creek, Morton, Gallagher
and Augusta have been prospecting
and are now getting ready for sum
mer work.
Charles Johnson with two men, has
been hoisting pay all winter, some
of which has gone as high as $5 and
$6 to the pan.
Eddie McKelvie, Joe Matson and
Joe Ward have probably their larg
est dump in the camp. They are now
getting ready for summer work.
On Poorman creek, H. Willeby, W
Ferry and Barney Cannon are just
through hoisting out their winter
dump and expect to make a big clean
up. ,
Jack Shropshire and Truman Man
uel with two men have been hoist
ing pay all winter on the Buggy, and
have a large dump out. They expect
to work a large crew all summei
as they have a large body of pay.
Dennis Ccjle is spending the wintei
in the States but will be in this
coining summer and commence oper
ations again.
George Voder has just discovered
a narrow but good paystreak at thr
mouth of Tenderfoot, right back ot
Haarvel’s store building which hr
will be working this summer.
On Solomon c'-eek, Martin Weboris
and Mickey Dugan have taken out a
large dump and are still hoisting
what is said to be good pay.
Below them John Fahey and Tom
Cannon with two men are taking oui
a dump and still hoisting.
R. Fulkerson with two men has £
small dump, but is ready to hoist
into the sluice boxes when watei
begins to run.
Wm. Wicklund and Harry Jenser
at the mouth of Solomon are all read}
to put on a crew as soon as the wa
ter comes.
On Timber creek Dick Stevensoi
and Omar Quinn have been hoisting
pay all winter. Stanley Coffin i
> working for them and has helped ii
• swelling the dump immensely.
One thousand feet below, Willian
Bailey and Shorty have just com
pleted a hole to bedrock, wrhicl
shows a tin o foot body of pay dir
averaging five cents to the pan.
One and a half miles below Wil
liam Ferry and Barney Cannon hav
very good pay awaiting develoi
ments.
Timber creek is a large creek am
an immense lot of prospeciing ha
been done there in the past withou
any success, but these recent find
which are largely due to Jack Wolf’
persistence in prospering will put i
in tlu rank of the leadi'ie producer
of the camp, as the developmen
to date shews that there i > a larg
body of pay.
BILLOWY GOWNS IS

NEW YORK, May 1.—Women will
wear billowy gowns of organdie and
chiffcn this summer And skirts will
clear the ground a good ten inches,
according to styles on display here.
And some of the very fluffy,
flouncy ones are diaphanous too.
Chiffon and lace seem to have com
pletely crowded ou tthe plainer ma
terials.
Cut the show’s most outstanding
feature is the “comeback” of the
short skirt.
Confirmation of the rumor from
Paris that skirts were creeping knee
j ward was made by models at the
| show attired in modes that permitted
a fleeting glimpse of powdered knees
j just north of where she starts to roll
! them.
