The moving picture enterprise at |
Candle Is proving a great success
according to A. J. Sambrailo who re
cently left that thriving burg lor a
fortnight's visit to Nome. The show
is run by Hart Humber, Slim Uydeen,
K. S. Dimmick. On Thanksgiving
night there were 87 adults and be
tween 30 and 40 children present. The
grown ups paid 31 each and the chil
dren 25 cents. The show takes place
on Saturdaj nights and on holidays,
the exhabition hall being the Lacy
building. After the departure of the
veteran showman, W. C. Mullen, for
Nome to assume hi3 winter duties
at the Dream theater the Candle men
had considerable trouble with tin
djnamo and one thing and another.
All the mechanics in the, camp rp
parently took a hand In fixing things
up and lately the results are quite
satisfactory.
By the Nugget’s special service
over the A. T. & T. Co.’s wire this
afternoon it was learned that foui
teams left Taylor early this morning
for the neighborhood of Spring creek.
Owing to the fact that Hastings anu
partner had found breeding’s skiis
stuck up in the snow and had traceu
him to the hut at the mouth of Rein
deer und thenec on westerly to Spring
creek where his track was lost on the
ice of the overflow It was thought
further search ought to be conflneu
chief.v to that section in an attempt
to find the trail again. The four
teams are well supplied with every
thing necessary for men and dogs on
a trip of four or five days. It is the
| plan to make a 3erles of circles to
1 the west of where breeding's last
i trace was seen.
Among these who started out this
morning are some of the men who
have been at work in various dlrec
tions from the Serpentine Springs. A

.umber of these who have been wani
ng without dogs got back to Taylor
last night and when they learned that
trail had been followed for twelve
or fifteen miles they were strongly in
favor of starting right out with only
a night's rest to try to pick up the
trail. «
It la figured that iieedr^Js mufct
havo ranched the hut at the mouth
of Reindeer river not much later
.liAn one o’clock on the day he left
.he springs. He had . then gone no
more than ten or twelve miles and
when he left the hut must have felt
sure that he would reach Taylor be
fore dark.
Today the weather was somewhat
foggy or mUty with the tempera -
.ure at zero. There was no wind. A
great deal of snow has fallen since
Thanksgiving day when Freeding left
.he Springs and it hus drifted con
siderably recently which the seureh
rs think greatly lessens their chame
of finding the body though they have
gone out doggedly once more.

FATHEK GIVES f
CHILD SKIN
Pacific News Service.
Fairbanks, Dec. n.—Tho uttie ,
Sherman girl who was the only sur- I
vlvor of the fire in the Sherman home
two weeks ago, when two children1
were burned to deatlt, is in great dan
ger of dying because so much of the
skin of her body was burned off.
The physicians have said that the
only way to save her i3 to graft on
human skin where most needed. In
this emergency the girls' father, I. P.
Sherman, has offered to give all ol
.he skm the physicians think neces- J
sary and the operation will be made i
at once.
It will be remembered that the fire |
in the Sherman home occurred when
ttiree children, two of them the
daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Sher
man and the other a little tot of a
neighbor, were alone in the house |
during the temporary absenec of Mra j
Sherman. At that time the men of
the fire department attempted heroic
rescues in vain.

SHE ON JUMP AND
OTHER GOOD FINDS
_
NU> Kristensen who has the con
tmet to carry the Candle mail ar
rived recently from the northern met
ropolis bringing with him as passen
ger A. J. bambrailo who will put lo
ihe time until after the holidays tak
ing his ease in the dentist's chair ana
looking at the ^printed matter the
ocrulist holds up before hi3 patients.
Fambrailo had, locked up in his
system, quite a lot of interesting
news of Candle and its auriferous
environs. He says that everybody is
at work. There is not a man idle up
there because of lack of a job. On
Candle creek all the miners are tak
ing out pay right along.
The chief topic of news up that way
is the recent new strike on Jump
creek. This creek hus been pros
pected before and Billy French and
Jeon Kelley at the mouth took out
pay last winter and are doing the
same this season. The new strike
look place about midway on "the
creek and was made by Ed Hanson,
Ben Evans and Andrew Olson. Early
this fall they found good pay of a
width described as {‘sixteen points
wide." As a “point” is seven or eight
feet, this means a considerable ex
tent of pay dirt. The discovery of
this pay streak naturally resulted in
more men taking a chance on Jump
and results from this work are al
ready proving favorable.
Just below Hanson and company,
Emil Johnson, Ernie Schoemaker and
another man named Johnson have
found rich pay which is said to run
from 60 cents to $1.60 per pan. This
ground is somewhat spotted but the
average ground runs very good in
deed.
Below the Johnson outfit Karl
Larson and Ruby Christopher have
begun to prospect but have not yet
got into the money so far as is
known.
Above the Hanson people, the
.
Champagne Kid and Kmanual Uon
mtics have 3larted work and there |
seems every reason to believe that I
mey will hit the pay streak berore
•dig.
jump creek is five or six miles long
mid outers Canute creek at uisuovery.
cither news of a tresh gold discov
ery 13 that Andy Uarbin who some
lutle tune ugo relocated twenty one
claims on Central creek has fouud
non pay on his ground. This giuuuu
tias been tried betore but no pay was
luuuu. Cential creek is a tributary to
squirrel river.
Siam Alagids now has a wireless
station on the Kobuk at the Newik
mission. He went to Candle on De
cember 1 and amazed the people there
by ins knowledge of current events,
bi reported that all the boys on tue
Kobuk are making money.
bulky Uobinson, the store keeper at
Candle, has increased his plant tnrec
by the erection of a cold storage out
ut, which is calculated to preserve 60
or 70 reindeer carcasses for use by
oe miners during the summer. The
innovation is regaiued Wiwi extreme
*avor by everybody In that section.
Messrs. Kristensen and Sambrailo
say that on their trip from Candle
to Nome the only birds they saw
were two crowB and one owl. No
ptarmigan or rabbits were seen in a
country that used to be alive with
them. The trail wa3 in good condi
tion and traveling waa excellent ex
cept for the intense cold.
Kristensen says that with the in
stallation of the new stove at Haven
the heating arrangements in all the
cubins on the Council Candle run will
bo very satisfactory. But, he says,
some of the cabins are in a bad 3tate
of repairs. They need chinking and
dirt shovelled on to the roofs. As
this can be done only In the summer
there is no alternative now but to
put up with the snow that drifts In.
