NATURE'S HOTHOUSE ON
THE BANKS OF YUKON
On# would hardly think that a
hot spring throwing a stream aa
large as a man's wrist, could be
within a half mile of the Yukon be
tween here and Kokrlnes and yet re
main undiscovered until this summer
Nevertheless such Is the case.
It has long been known by the
mail carriers and other mushcis,
that along the big bend on the right
bank of the Yukon about five miles
below Kokrlnes, the water in the
creeks coming into the Yukon is
warmer than the river water, thus
making it very dangerous traveling
along that bend, as it often opens
up in mid winter.
F. G. Horner, of Kokrlnes, know
ing this fact, was discussing it with
the natives this summer r.nd they
told him there were springs a little
way up this creek that kept hot all
winter, "all same Melozl Hot Spring
This aroused Mr. Horner's curiosi
ty, so he took a trip down to the
bend and, by following the largest
creek, back from the Yukon about
half a ruile, discovered the springs
referred to.
There are three distinct springs,
and seepages covering an acre or
more. However, the> all seem to
come from the same stratum of
rock just at Us contact with the
blankot or surface rock. This con
tact is about forty feet above the
creek bed and the water seems to
ki-rsi forth from a solid wall, as it
v ere, and go spouting down over
the white coated fragments of rock
to the creek below, leaving a cloud
of odorous vapor behind.
The largest one, as staled, throw?
a Etream as large as a man s wr
The temperature var'os slightly in
the different springs from us to
121 degrees Fahrenheit. These
springs doubtless follow the same
stratum as the Melozi Hot Springs,
already so favorably known by the
people of this section, which are on
the other side of the Yukon hills
about 20 miles distant.
The effect on vegetation in the
vicinity of these springs is very
marked. Here are ferns in abund- j
ance that measure from six to
eight feet in length. One leaf of a j
wild parsnip was measured which i
was fourteen inches across. It is
certainly nature's hot-liouse on the
bank.t of the Yukon.
Mr. Horner intends to build a
roadhouse near the springs and clea
the trail to the river in time to re
ceive the returning stampeders, so
in the future, instead of going 45
miles over a high range ol' hills ill
order to get to Melozi Hot springs
we can now enjoy the same priv
ilege by going less than 25 miles an
hardly leaving the Yukon at—let us
say, the Horner Hot Springs, in hon
or of the discoverer.—Dawson News.
FIVE F1XCEKS COMPANY
CLOSE coon SEASON
George J. Milton, general mana
ger of the Five Finger Coal com
pany operating at Tantalus on tne
Yukon river a little less than half
way between this place and Daw
son, arrived on the steamer White
horse Tuedsay night on the way to
his home and the company's head
quarters, St. Paul, for the winter.
During the season just closed the
Five Fingers Coal Company installed
a lot of modern mining machinery
aud Manager Milton says he is
now prepared to mine coal as sys
tematically and economically at his
workings on the Yukon river as it
can be mined any place on the Angl
ican coutiuent. In fact, he has
proof for the assertion In that, af
tor installing the now machinery
tills season, he mined and shipped
five thousand tons to Dawson and
c.vpecta to mine and ship four times
as much next seavon, starting in
late in May or early in June.
Lately 'he White Pass Railway
Co. h;is jeen using considerab *
coal from the Tantalus mine and
has found it vastly superior to any
1 thing it can obtain from the outside
A barge of forty tons of the TanUl
us product was brought to this plact
Tuesday night for use by the com
pany and by another year the great
er part of the coal used by it w'U
be obtained from the same source.
Mr. "Milton says the demand for
his output is continually increasing
at Dawson and by next year, while
the output will be many times what
it has ever before, the demand wl'l
exist in the same proportion.
Mr. Milton is returning to his as
sociates in St. Paul more optimistic
than at any time since he began ex
ploiting the coal industry on the
Yukon a dozen years ago.—White
horse Star.
THE ICEMAN
Wheu days are hot the iceman
bringe his little chunk of hail, and
he has healing in his wings, .and
in his pockets kale. Through crowd
td streets, in busy marts, lie bears
the boon of ice, and, in the fullness
of our hearts, we kick about the
price. To sick-rooms, when we're
nearly dead, he bringss his precious
freight; the patients then sit up in
bed, and roar about the weight. In
tenements, where poor folks dwell,
his dripping load he bears; his pa
trons then roar up and yell, and
throw him down the stairs. He
makes it possible to live when sum
mer heat is sore, and what reward
do people give? Ths protest and
the roar! "You surely ought to
get the bounce," they cry, when
he is around; "you bring us only
half an ounce, and charge us for a
pound!'' But patiently the iceman
goes, serene, remote and wise, and
daily brings . us bergs and floes of
microscopic size. The multitude a
ro*nd him roars, and hoots him as
he drills; he brings his hailstones
at our doors, and then sends in his
bills. Why roast the iceman bitterly
and crowd him to the wall? We
folks should proud and grateful be,
to get his ice at all.—WALT MASON

THK "WIRELESS EYE"
TO AID NAVIGATORS
Sau Francisco, Oct. 13—If the
"wireless eye" does all that M. C.
Blum says It will do. navigation is
on the ova of just such another
1 revolution as it experienced with
the discovery of the wireless tele
£,r i>h, fn the opinion o>. seafaring
men who have examined the "eye'
with which its inventor, S. Si>i l,
•a experimenting at Vallojo. Blum
and W. E. Rode are financing the
invention and have taken out twenty
sevi n patents on it. The instrument,
which works only at ul.ht, reflects
on a mirror a moving picture of ev
erything within a radium of several
miles. It receives its impression
from a web of wires erected on a
tall mast. It is useless by daylight
however, for the reason that the
wires register only the "stygian
rays." "The navigator of a ship
so equipped could see on the dark
est night the surface of the ocean
all about him." said Blum. "He
could observe other ships approach
or the proximity of rocks, shoals or
icebergs. A coast guard could see
an enemy's scouts approaching long
before the scouts had found what
they were seeking.
"During a recent test at Vallejo,
the observers saw in the mirror the
ships on the river, the roalroad
trains passing up and down the
valley, people walking about and ev
en the sentries pacing their beats on
the island." Spitz was formerly a
wireless expert 011 Mare Island.
BAN STILL ON HAZING
AT WEST POINT
Washington, Oct. 13—Secretary 0
War Garrison has sustained the ac
tion of Col. Clarence P. Townsley,
superintendent of the West Point
military academy, in depriving of
of their privileges eighteen cadets
found guilty of having hazed plebes.
Regretting that the boys "should
have written whiuiung letters to
their parents or other", the Secre
tary said that "the first element of
manliness is take your medicine like
a man".
