GOOD PLACER
PROSPECT
Fairbanks Times: Lato arrivals
from Vault creek and vicinity state
that the pay located hy Beafcty,
Barette & Hamilton continues to
average approximately $6 to the
pan. The strike was not made on
the Hard Luck association, operated
last summer by Jack Prest, but
upon the Hands Across tiie Sea as
sociation, which is the next up
stream property. The place where
the pay was found is fully 300 feet
from where Prest took out a for
tune last, summer, and for this rea
son many miners think tlio pay
streak extends up the creek for
several miles.
The paystreak on the Hands
Across the Sea claim is said to be
approximately 60 feet wide.
Last summer, when Prest made
the strike, many people tlioight he
had hit a rich pocket, but the fact
tliat the pay continues on upstream
disproves this theory, and all Vault
. creek people are in a most optimis
tic frame of mind.
I On the claim above the Hands
Across the Sea association, the op
erators, Vic Boone and Dominic
Faslni, are down to bedrock and are
drifting now. Owing to a glacier,
they were compelled to sink their
shaft some distance from where
they expected to strike tlifc pay,
and now they are drifting toward
where they think it lies.
All the way up tlio creek for
three miles a number of miners are
prospecting, and all feel confident
that before spring they will he tak
| ing out-big money.

MEETING LAST XIGHT
—
There was a good attendance aK
the Parent-Teacher association meet
ing last night and after the regu
j lai business had been transacted
| a very interesting, although some
} what lengthy, program was gone
through with.
The pap el's by Mrs. Clark and
Mrs. Dedman, the short talk by Miss
Keenan, the vocal solo by Mrs. Clar
ence Olsen and the reading by
Mrs. suffccool were all excellent,
and listened to with clcse atten
tion and an evident appreciation of
their merits by all thos-3 present.
The next regular meeting will be
I on the night of Friday> Feb. 5tli.
NOT SO ALL-FIRED GOOD
There has been considerable poor
bowling during the past few. nights,
many of the best players falling
I down to less than 180 average. Tlu

i the Skagway team on its visit: here
| in about two weeks has not been
I announced.—Whitehorse Star.
I There is such a wide difference
| between the above account of the
work being done by the Whitehorse
bowlers and the one appearing in
| last week's issue of the Star, that
it kind of strikes us the White
I horse newspaper man is looking out
i in advance for an easy place to
j light when the time comes for writ
hing up the story of the gam© at the
conclusion of the contest.

! LEADER OP EXPEDITION
IS EXPERIENCED MUSHER
Sergeant William George Edgeu
ton, of the Royal Northwest Mount
ed Police, who headed the expedi
tion that left Dawson last Monday
over the trackless and perilous trail
to McPherson and Hers,-hel in the
Arctic, is one of the most experi
enced mush ere in the famous force.
He came from the Hudson Bay dis
trict, where he was stationed for
years, and where he traveled on
the Churchill-Fullertoa 'route. In
an interview with a Dawson. News
reporter on his long mush, he say3:
"The Churchill-Fullerton patrol is
the longest in the world covered by
dogs. There we travel the full
distance with not a cabin on the
route. One white man aud an Es
kimo usually make the trip, and
drive many dogs hitched in single
strands, and spread out in fan
shape. Here, of course, where there
are woods It is impossible to hitch
and drive dogs other than tandem,
but there it is all barren and
smooth, and the spreading dogs can
fly along unhindered. At night
snow cabins are made, and the cook
ing is done with oil lamps.
"On this trip from Dawson 1
shall go to McPherson, and if no
patrol is there to meet us, will
i mush through to Herschel."
! DEATH OF A LINEMAN
DISARRANGES SERVICE
Owing to the death by freezing
| on New Year's day of a Dominion
j telegraph lineman named Elephan
| stone, stationed at the third cabin
j north of Hazelton, that line was
I put out of commission for several
days and all messages either to
or from the Canadian Yukon had
to be dispatched through Skr.gway
via the W. P. & Y. R. line to
Whithorse and from thence to
their address or around by the
way of Valdez and Fairbanks.
According to the information re
ceived Elephanstone started out in
the morning to repair a break in the
line. As he did not return that
night, search was made next day by
the lineman at the next section
with the result that F.lephanstone
was found cold In death
- The body was taken to the first
station south of where it was found,
a distance of probably 30 miles, by
I the lineman, thus leaving two sec
tions without attention for a peri
I od of several days.
Indianapolis, Jan. f.—President
Woodrow Wilson in a specch here
last night, under the auspices of
the democratic cluh of this city,
before an audience of four thousand
people, hinted that ho might) try
for re-nomination as tho democrat
ic presidential candidate In 1916.
He made a sharp attack upon the
republican party, saying that it had
never had a new idea in the pa3t
thirty years.
He claimed his policy for peace
is the best as he is fighting for
the freedom and not the subjugation
of Jnexico. • .
SULPHUR CREEK MIXER IS
BURNED TO DEATH IX CABIN
Abeit R. Wise, a Sulphur creek
miner, was burned to death last
week in a cabin on 18 below,
where he had stopped for a short
rest while on his way back to his
own camp from Dan-son.
On arrival at 18 he sa>d he was
' weary, and asked for a place to
rest. He was told to go to a near
by cabin and to rest there for a
time. Shortly after, about 5 iu
the afternoon, men noticed the cab
in was in flames. They ran to the
place, and endeavored to break in,
but when the door was opened the
! interior was a mass ot flames.
I Two men finally got hold of one
of Wise's feet and dragged him out,
j but he was burned beyond recogni
tion, and had already succumbed be
j fore they reached him. The po
lice visited the scene and investi
gated, but said there was no telling
how the fire started. They thought
possibly the old man fell against
the stove in the strange quarters
and overturned it, or It may have
exploded. Wise was bora in Dan
zig, Germany, in 1864, and went
to Yukon seven years ago from
' there.
NEW FOX FARM IS

company, with Chas. S. Eisenhauer
as manager, has been organized in
the Southern Yukon town and a
ranch for the propagation of the
animals looated just north of there.
Seven pairs of silver and cross
ed foxes are already confined with
in the enclosures of the new com
pany and with ordinary good luck
the manager is confident the num
ber will be considerably Increased
during the coming breeding season.
