Those Skagway bowlers, taken In
blocks of five, play a splendid game
aud any team defeating them must
; go some. But taken in pairs, as
compare*} witlx Whltehorsei bowlers,
they are aa clay in the potter's
hands, or words to that effect.
Tuesday evening's train, lu. addi

the locomotive pilot, brought to this
place a party of seven "gude"

flower of Skagway'a bowling geni.

V. A. Peterson, Jaa Kennedy, bowl
ers, and W. B. Batson and Lee
Qault — Batson as substitute in
case of one of the regulars falling
by the wayside and Gault as mascot
and official rooter.
The first game was played Tues
day night with the foreign players
above mentioned against a local
team composed of Gibson, Clarke,
Miller, Harbottlg and Greinic. The
result of three games wae close,
Whitehorse scoring 2508 and Skag

Arrivals from DexteT Divide report
tha' much work is proceeding and
that several parties aro hoisting pay
from claims around the place where
the strike was mado last spring.
Amongst those la the pay there this
winte- are Owen Brown, who mado
the rich strike last winter. Othera
operating there are Murray and
Rose, the Rowan brothers, Hennin
er & Company, Rlchter and Bolster,
Dan Connolly and brothers. Many
are taking out winter dumps, and
the rest are prospecting and try
ing to line up tha pay.
The output for the Nome camp
this year was just about three mil
lion dollars, and the customs of
fice record of arrivals and depart
ures show that the population this
winter is about two hundred and
fifty more than It was last year.
Several blizzards and a groat
snowfall have piled high the drfits
much earlier than in any other win
ter in the camp's history. About
a hundred people aro at the scene
of the Dime Creek strike, and oth
ers are leaving daily for It. It Is a
fairly good low gride placer camp.

wallowing In the terrific sens being
battered about by gales. The wo

est praise for the officials cf the
Fatris, who rendered every assist

will be left unl, a small ammnt of

pure wool Is lighi :l It will be :>und to
burn much more ' jv.ly and with a less
steady flame, emitting a characteristic,
mild, hissing not e :ind a stro ig odor
very similar to Umt of burnt 1 horn.
There will be m; h more ash remain
