left unguarded lie dashed back to bis {

sious and badly burned.
The fire started early in the evening !
and there was an enormous crowd on
the spot even before the lire appartus
arrived. Every available policeman j
was sent to the scene but only by the
exereise of force were they able to keep
the crowd back beyond the danger
line. The building in which the fire
started is located near several i
cheap theaters and the audience be
came frantic and several persons were i
hurt in the rush to get into the street I
under the impression that the build- i
ing they were in was ablaze.
The damage to the buildings is prin- J
cipally confined to the interior.
KOYUKUK GROUND
FABULOUSLY RICH
"Think of men panning on a (lump
and getting $'200 in a pan. Think of
men trying to get pan without a dol
lar in it and failing, and you have1
some idea of the richness of the Olaen
claim on Nolan Creek in the Koyukuk,' j
Maid George Hodnett, who arrived,
from the Chandlar diggings Wodnes
day. Thin is Mr. JIodneM's lii'Ht trip I
to the outside in twenty-two years. I
"1 did not see the ground myself," j
he said, "hut 1 heard so many of the
men who had been in the Chandular
return with the same stories that 1 ,
know there conld be no question of
the truth of their statements.
"I know that other men have failed I
to get onto this same rich streak, hut
they are working with an industry
that should meet with reward. I
hardly believe it is spotted. It does
not look reasonable to believe that
such rich p;iy can be found only on
that one claim. The formation is the
same and with other country features
similar in every respect the good pay
found by Olson and Johnson should
be located on other streams and also
on other claims on Nolan creek.
If such u thing should occur the
Koyukuk will see one of the biggest
stampedes that has taken place since
the Klondike rush.
"Men who visited the Olson claim
during the past winter had every op
portunity of testing the ground, The
owners would say: "Here's a pan;
help yourself !M 1 have heard of men
panning $100 frequently, The own
on would put it in their i>okoor throw
it back on the dump to he washed out
in the spring.
"Ihavobeeniu the Chandelar for
two years and think that district will
come to the front, but it will take
time and more prospecting than it
lias yet received.
"The steamer Reliance went up to
Chandlar City, a dist ance of 100 miles
from the Yukon this spring. The
Northern Commercial Company has
established a trading post at that
point, and supplies should be consider
ably cheaper hereafter."
Mr. Hodnott first settled in South
eastern Alaska in 188fl. Hinco Ids ar
rival ho has been absorbed in looking
at the automobiles and other up-to
date inventions and devices. Ho says
ho is out for good, but friends who
have watched him since his arrival
say he came into the Northern hotel
yesterday and said: "I don't see any
thing bo wonderful about the outside
country." They say it is tho first sign
that he Is fooling the lure of the North
again.—Post Intolllgoncor.
