The Hot Springs district will have
•’a large dredge in operation next sea
■son for the recovery of tin and gold
values on Sullivan creek, according to
‘George C. Lemons, pioneer promoter,
who passed through Anchorage on
Saturday en route to London, accom
panied by Mrs. Lemons, says the An
chorage Times. Shortly before leav
ng Fairbanks, Lemons made final
payment to Sylvester Howell on op-'
ions held on Snllivan creek, and the
promoter is now returning to London
o arrange for the installation of one
ii-.d possibly two dredges on the prop
rty, said to be the richest placer tin'
proposition in the world.
The options held by Lemonsc in- j
luded <>2 claims, and it is stnted that'
ie now controls fifteen miles of
lredging ground on the creek, all of
•vhich has been prospected and found
to carry good values in both tin and
-old.
Lemon.- also is promoting the de
velopment of antimony property in
he Kantishna district which he ac
(uired from Howell and a number of
v>ther oldtimers of the interior, and it
s possible that some of the ore will
ie hauled out to the railroad this wili
er. A survey also will be made this
winter for a wagon road for summer
‘■aiding, William Taylo anl several
■ tliers having already left Fairbanks
i look over the proposed route. The
•nad will come out on the railroad at
Lignite. Lemons says he has a market
or 20,000 tons of antimony per year.
Writing to friends here from Al
hambra, California, Peter McMullen,
'ormerly United States deputy mar
"hal in the Upper Kuskokvvim dis
' ■ ict, says that he has seen many old
timers, among them Joe Miller, John
Metzger, George Berg and George
Smith. Mr. Berg, also at one time a
leput.v marshal in this division, is
■w operating a fruit stand. George
Smith, who left Fairbanks after suf
ering a paralytic stroke, is consider
ihly improved, Mr. McMullen said.)
The'McMullens traveled from Kansas
to California for the benefit of Mrs.:
McMullen’s health, which is now much i
improved.—Fairbanks News-Miner.
Two men were brought into U.
S. Commissioner C. C. Heid’s court at
Menana last Saturday on game law
inlation charyes and after pleading
>uilty were ordered to pay fines and,
n addition, one of the defendants was
iven a jail sentence, says the Fair- j
banks News-Miner.
Henry Burns, charged with taking!

fur-bearing animals out o fseason,
was fined $25. He had in his posses
sion two live foxes and had no propa
gation permit or fur farm license. A
similar charge was preferred against
August Plaschart. He had nine live
foxes, two live mink and five fox pelts.
Commissioner Heid fined him $216
and sentenced him to eight days in
the Nenana jail.
All the foxes were turned loose,
with the exception of an injured one,
which was killed. The peltts were
confiscated. Game Warden Sam O.
1\ hite was assisted by Deputy Mar
shal Hubbard in both cases.
Fred G. Noyes, whose name is fa
miliar throughout the Territory and
who until the last few years con
i trolled large interests in the interior
: of Alaska, died at Crescent City, Cal
j ifornia, a couple of months' ago, as
the result of a ifall he received on a
i fishing trip. Mrs. Noyes was on her
! way to Crescent City to join her hus
band when she received news of his
death.
In 1897 Mr. Noyes reached Dawson,
where he was engaged in sawmill op
erations and remained there until the
Fairbanks rush, being one of the
j early stampeders to feach the latter
j place. By 1904 he had established the
mill beside the slough which bears his
name. His business prospered and he
1 was rated as one of the wealthiest
men in the Territory. He operated
I the mill for many years and eyentu
I ally sold the entire tract which now
makes up the Garden Island townsite
; of the Fairbanks Exploration Com
pany.
Dorothy Sheehan, young wife of
Howard Sheehan, former Anchorage
resident, was sentenced to from five
to seven years in prison for partici
pating in a holdup just after her
husband had been given from 10 to 16
years on the same charge. In addi
tion, Sheehan has a sentence of from
, two to fifteen years hanging over his
head for a Seattle burglary. He is
25 years old. Sheehan’s wife was
convicted by a jury despite the fact
that she was not positively identified
as having been at the scene of the
holdup.

“The ‘Mac’s’'sailed south with the
intention of going to Hyder for the
winter, and I went to Skagway and j
headed north for the Mayo district,!
arriving at Keno on the 22d. Keno is j
40 miles by stage from Mayo. It is'
located at the head of Duncan creek!
at the foot of Keno* Hill. It has two j
hotels, three stores and . a ' liquor:
store. There are two mounted police
there, nice fellows who never interfere
in other people’s business.
“Meals are $1.25, beds $1, and J
clothing is as cheap as in Fairbanks.
You can buy all kinds of rum. whisky,;
stout, beer and ale at the liquor store,,
The hotels have licenses to sell beer, j
stout or ale by the bottle.
“After resting up a few ■ days I
went up to the Wernecke mine, which
is three miles up the hill from town.
I got a job from both-the mine fore
man and master mechanic and went to
work for the latter. Of course I was
acquainted. Jack Maloney is fore
man and a fine fellow. There are
close to two hundred men working
for this company, which is the Tread
well Yukon 'Company. Wernecke "is
the head man. The grub1.arid accom
modations are fine. The wages are
$5, $5.50 and $6. It is a swell place
to work. There is a store, barber

Rejuvenation.
Dr. Sims Lee Rice, > the Richmond f
surgeon, was talking about the Voro- j
noff and other methods of rejuvena- i
tion. i
“These methods,” fie said, “rejuve- f
nate, yes, but' the rejuvenation only
‘asts a short time. A year or so
passes, and yon are older, far older,
than before.
“One of our millionaires,” Profes
sor Rice went on, “underwent the re
juvenating operation, and temporari- j
ly the change in'him was remarkable.j
Though he was 70 years old, a crop j
of thick brown ' hair burst forth on j
his bald head, his wrinkles disap- j
peared, and the strngth 6f youth;
came back to him..
