Marshall Section Very
Quiet in a Mining Wav
t --
Marshall, Dec. 20.—There is very
little doing here at the present time,
m a mlnmg way. Willow creek is
practically worked put, that is, the
upper part of the creok. The lower
ground is deep, and it will take some
nme to thoroughly prospect them,
fieprge Marsh is still .holdiug his in
.erests, buviug done consikerable work
on the properties. Blanker ic Edgar
are 'still working on Disappointment
ecepk, George Pilcher is working on
Elephant creek, Wick is working on
Montezuma creek, Eugene Doljerty is
working on Buster crask, while Kru
ger and partners are operating in the
Stuyahok. There is very little pros
pecting going on
We have been receiving The Kusko
Times quite regularly, almost from the
start. Sometimes it has been several
uontbs in getting here, but. no matter
now late, have always found something
;>f interest in it. It seems like getting
a letter from one’s home town, as the
people here know or know of almost]
everyone in your neck of the woods and '
are interested in knowing what they
are doing.
We-have a mail service this winter
by way, of ‘Iditarod, so we should be
able to get |a pretty fair service be
; ween here and McGrath and the big
Outside.
The branch store of the Northern
'onumercial Co. in Nenana was broken
nto on the night of December 29 and
more than 3200 stolen from the ca9h
register. An entrance was affected
.hrpugh a window on the very dark
side of the-building* and further pro
tection wa3 afforded the robbers, by a
.arge pile of cord wood, which stood
close jto the building* It has been the
practice of the management of the
store to remove practically all of the
money from the branch store each af
ternoon, but it appears that most of
the money stolen was paid late in the
day and was left in the register, which
fact would seem to have been known to
the men who did.the stealing. Either
that or luck was with them, for ordi
narily there would have been little
cash in the register.

they witnessed a more beautiful sight
than that of Christmas eve, when the
glow and flames from the volcano at
tained a height of over five hundred
feet. The sky was illuminated with
the reddish hue for a considerable
time, enabling the passengers to enjoy
what few persons have ever seen. In
addition to the fire glow, huge masses
of red hot, lava were seen flowing down
the mountain side.
At the time the eruption was noted
the Starr was in the vicinity of Hei
feofsky, on its way to Unga. and for
many miles the. crew and passengers
gazed upon the awe-inspiring sight. In
making the harbor at Unga ihe falling
volcanic ash was so dense that it re
sembled a fog, aud fora time was be
lieved to be a fog until, the-vessel en -
tered into the thick of it, when her
decks were soon covered with ashes.

eight feet in width, running very high

so far touched. The news of the strike
caused much exeitemeDt, and it is un
derstood that the Treadwell Company
will arrange to have a concentrating
plant installed.
