ILUTEST FROM
: THE CHUM
(Cordova Alaskan)
* Dan Staeey, who was one of the
! first men to stampede to Chisana
' when th«» news of the find became
j known last summer, leached Cor
dova yesterday after having made a
record trio from the diggings to the
coast. He left Chisana last Sat
urday morning and spent the night
at McLeod's roadhouse. Sunday
niglit he had supper lu McCarthy,
and caught the train on Monday
I morning for Chltlna. He has been
conducting Oscar Breedman's store
at Chisana and has kept in close
touch with the affairs of the camp.
Mr. Staoey repor*s that while
i many new finds have been reported
but little is known as to the extent
of the pay. He states that suffi
cient pay has been located to war
rant the belief that a good small
camp will be developed. The prin
cipal reason why so few discoveries
have been reported 'S owing to the
fact that the miners who were
working this winter were prospect
ing on outlying creeks some dis
tance from the creela where pay
was located last summer. Little
real prospecting waa done until a
bout the first of February but the
miners are now busy on scores of
f.'eeks and he expects to hear of
finds being made. A party of Nome
miners were prospecting on Snow
Gulch with a drill but had not
reached bedrock. On Gold Hill
George Smith, Roy Batton, Angus
Holliday and Heine were down 87
feet with colore, but nothing ap
proaching pay, all the way down.
I After sinking 15 feet they ran
'hrough the frost but were able to
! continue the shaft without timber
ing as the gravel was mixed with
i hardpan which kept the walls from
| caving. Good prospects had also
been found on the Johnson slope of
Alder creek.
Cliff Johnson's partners, who
j have a lay on No. 7 Bonanza, from
Fred Best, were In gcod pay. Pans
| averaging 75 cent3 and better were
| being taken from the drift.
The city is putting in a wagon
bridge across the small creek on
the east side of Broadway, at the
alley between Tenth and Eleventh
streets.
The old log cabin 011 the north
west corner of Twelfth and State
streets, which has been a landmark
for years, was pulled down this
morning by a gang of workmen and
the logs will be used for some oth
er ourpose.

VICE HOUSES
MECLOSfl)
St. Louis, March 5—All the vice
houses in St. Louis were closed
Saturday night a*- midnight, ac
cording to the "gradual elimination
plan" of the Board of Police Com
missioners, who started the move
ment to clear out the tenderloin
early in the year. About 325 in
mates were expected to be driven
from the houses tonight. The St.
Louis policy began with clamping
down the lid tight on the selling
of liquor in the tenderloin. Next
came a schedule of "early clos
ing", and forbidding music in the
houses. The last big movement of
the "gradual plan" was the forcing
of the telephone companies to re
move all telephones. The women
have, in the majority of cases, gone
to Chicago and other large cities.
