fair and fairies, the ace of hearts,
end many more, all visions of
bevaty.
You don't know what you will
see—or won't.
But nothing will harm you till
I.eap Yrar arrives at midnight—
then, boys, look out. The titlo of
"wall flower" will then be pinned

ous and gallant during this passing

their partners.

HOP ON I
r JITNEY"
M. B. C'emenger, tho chauffer
o* the Dewey hotel bus, announces
that, he intends to start a "jitney"
service in Skagway similar to that
maintained in Seattle and other
coast cities and while local con
ditions are such that he will have to
charge more than a single "jitney"
or nickle for each ride he will place
his prices as low as the volume of
trade accorded him will justify.
As a starter he will begin to
morrow night by taking parties to
and fron tho masquerade, and the
f'rst calb in will be the first served.
His telephone is No. 8.
He hopes to get enough patron
age to enble him to set the charge
as low as 50 cents for taking each
couple t~> the ball iu the evening
and returning them to their liomas
after the dance.
Call the "jitney" and save your
lady's fwt from the snow.

URTXGS NEWS OF
MAYO MIXING CAMP
(Continued from page 1-}
tlie Anglicau church, who has just
returned from an extensive mushing
tr'-D o' several hundred miles in
that region. He says:
"Men are doing winter prospect
ing or mining on quite a number
of t>'o creeks. The most, attractive
new placer creek perhaps is John
sou, where fifteen men are working
on claims near discovery. They re
port*' having 50-cent pans. The
creek Is small, but what there is of
it seems quite promising. O. P.
Thompson, one of the owners, plans
to have a steam scraper in opera
tion next summer.
"A dozen or more mon are work
ing on Haggert creek, and there
are about fifteen at the bridge. The
trail from Mayo to Haggert is deep
with snow. George Miller recently
wen* to Haggert from Mayo and
took over Mrs. Miller and their
two children with a dog team and
sleigh. It certainly was a task'
crossing the little traveled divide j
with the party. Mrs. Kinsey is the J
only woman beside Mrs. Miller on I
the creek. Mrs. Kiusey lias a child,
thus making three chldren, now
there.
"I was at Ethel lake, where the !
Indians are fishing; on Galena
creek, where the silver mining is
under way; on H'ghet, Dublin and
other creeks.
"The Dublin gulch owners aro
honeful, and some are doing con
siderable work. Jack Stewart has
700 feet of tunnel on his properties.
He Is Interested with Dr. Catto.
Jack plans to make a trig outside
before long.
"I was sis and a half days mush
in?' In from Mayo, and came via
FIrt creek and down the Klon
dike. I traveled the same route as
Jack Pickering with the exception
that I steered clear of haystacks.
Jack seemed to think I had a
hard time mushing through a little
wet stretch of trail, but I was
provided with a change of foot
wear and the like, and am not bo
much of a cheechaco but what I
knew what to do. Besides, !my
little experience was not quite so
chilly, I believe, as was Jack's
when he fell through the ica
"I met Burnell mushing from Daw
son for Mayo. He was making
good *ime.
"I shall be in Dawson until
Christmas, after which I shall vis
it the local creeks, and in January
I shall go to Rude."—Dawson News

TOUGH I
Jake Free, who recently arrived
from thg ICantishna, bad a mighty
tough trip coming across. While on
I ha divide, above timber line, iu
the inky blackness of a winter night,
his sled with his entire outfit and
bedding on it, broke through the
ice coating of Crooked creek and
the man and his dogs followed it
in* i the water. Try as he would,
thia Sourdough, could not get his
sled out of the ice.
He did manage to unhitch hia
dogs and with them and a part of
his bedding he made Bhore. There j
he mushed around to keep from
freezing. Running, jumping, stamp- .
ing, working all the time, his
clothes soaking wet, this old Sour
dough managed to pull through that
night, although to him it seemed '
like a life- time.
At dawn, with the first faint j
glimmer of light, he got two poles
aurt managed to cry his sled out of
th" water. Hitching up his dogs
ho raced for the nearest timber.
Unhitching the animals he built a
fire and started to dry himself. Ho
threw a blanket over the dogs, who
v 1} i: .v down close to the sleigh.
When he awoke ho found one of
hia dogs lrozen to his sleigh. It
was abcut 20 below zero.
And ho started off again. He Bays
had to drive his dogs
tlnv . h a regular mountain, of cari
bou. Mr. Free thinks that he saw
a ht=fd of at least 2,500, and says
t! ho drove right through them
oil his wiy to town.
He wi'l retum to his ground on
Glacier crcek just as soon as Mr.
Ttile Kantishna commission
er, who is on his way in, arrives
