On December 30st, when President
Wilson signed tlie bill postponing the
time of doing the 11)20 assessment work
«>n mineral chums in the United States
stud Alaslu . every honest miner who is
desitousof working; his claim had his
assessment work done. Only those
who desire to hold mining elaims with
out C' st or tiouble or work, in the
bdpe that they may get rich quick
some day, like the Outside Alaskans
who have been able to live in Seattle
and San 1 tanci.-co for years and hold
the chi.- that they staked here by
power of attorney wanted a -essment
work pt s' ported for this year, and nine
eases out of ten those claimholders will
be just as delinquent on-.July 1st next
in their a—es-ment work as they have
aeen ou December 31st in the tears in
which thete has (teen no assessment
worse done here. It was just arid right
aod proper that the soldier who owned
mining ground in Alaska should not be
compelled to do assessment work when
he was offering bis life, if need be.- for
the protection of his country, but it is
not just or right or proper in any way
to free the elaimgrabbers of the idle
cl a s from doing work on the claims
winch they are holding and preventing
from producing.—Fairbanks News
Miner.
Prices of many things are taking a
tumble on the Outside, according to
late reports reaching here. For in
stance. one of Henry Ford's machines
costs £142 less than it did, while other
makers oi automobiles. following
Henry, have reduced proportionately.
At Minneapolis, the patent brand of
flour recently went below Jd2, the first
time since September, 1919. Clothing,
also, is headed downward, and a de
crease of 2 < per cut by spring is pre
dicted. The tendency all along the
Ime is (award a lower level.
ft may be that in another year the
popular and proper thing to do will be
to dig up the old Dutch oven, wipe up
the bean pot and hike'for those Tulu
wiksak Hot Springs, if one is looking
for excuses—well, there’s nothing to it.
A popular ■stopping' place for
mushers, Kxeelleot table serv

I visited some of the same springs as ^
: Itad Mr. Langley.
Mr. Barnhart and lkey Hayes both I
speak highly of the springs, Mr. Barn- [
i hart having recently taken a party of fc
three friends to the place, all of whom f
declare themselves well pleased. Ti e
water is highly sulphuric and very
hot, beans being cooked in it if left
over night.
The springs, by trail, are about !G
miles from the Yukon, but in the open
season are reached by going up Tuiu- |
wiksak river a distance of forty miles |
and then overland four mile?

Bill Leskay, all of whom will stay there ['

Deputy U. S. Marshal Thomas last

and grabbed a stilL, some mash aid
several gallons of the stuff known us

Thus is another infant industry put
out of commission, and it is reported
that they turned out good stuff.
