-/f wmeh was printed yesterday says
.lmt the best pans he has seen on
Boob creek were $5 but they have
had as high as half an ounce. It is
about 30 feet to bedrock which is a
soft schist. There is not much wash,
it is more like glacial deposits. It
hes been a cold winter so far with
tho temperature 60 and 60 below for
ten days at a time. Wood, however,
is plentiful. In the summer there is
good water for steamboats up to the
mouth of the Tolstoi and then the
hard work begins.

Last night in the billiard tourna
ment at the Board of Trade parlors
| two matches were played. The first
was between Dr. Kittil3en, 96, and
I coined, loO, in class C. Kittllsen won
■ in 96 innings leaving his oppenent
, at 96. Kittilsen's average was 97.
and Cornell's .96.
The second match was in class A
between Hurroughs and Roy Wells,
both playing 200. This contest was
die closest yet played in the tourna
ment. First one was ahead and then
tlit other. The balls rolled badly for
| b. tli players and no large runs were
made. There were some very difficult
1 shots negotiated, however, by each
player that aroused the admiration
of the seventy five or eighty specta
tors and drew forth frequent applause.
In the early part of the- game Wells
took the lead but had to relinquish
It before the first string was over,
_ Burroughs held the lead for a long
t'me and only gave It up In the laet
string. They approached the finish
close together, and finally by a run
j of 10 Burroughs took the lead once
more.
I In- the 123d inning Burroughs had
I'll to Wells" 190. Then Burroughs
made one and Wells four. In the
next two Innings Wells made 2 and 3
placing him within one of winning.
Burroughs scored 4 In the 127th and
ir the 1.28th had only four to go when
he went to bat. He missed a shot
tl-at might have got thm together
and Wells proceeded to make the
winning billiard. The players were
accorded a hearty round of applause
at the finish of the exciting match.
There will be two mutches tonight
In the Board of Trade billiard tourney.
In class B. Lewis, 120, will play Bor
land, 116. In class A, Smith, 275, will
clash cues wih Allan, 250. Both of
these games promise sport to follow -
eis of the game.
Owing to the continued mild wea
ther and consequent heavy trails the
Brrden Marathon will be postponed
once more. It had been set for tomor
row, but the weather outlook Is so
inauspicious that Committeemen Per
rine, Cole and McCloy have decided
to put It over until Monday next in
the hope that weather anod trail con
ditions will have Improved by that
time. This means also a postpone
ment of the Solomon derby which 1*
s< heduled ten day9 after the Borden
Mo rathon.

the Nome Bowling Club at 7:30 last
night, and after warming up by shoot

with C. Loincn at the head lead off
in the 3econd series of the All-Star
bowling tournament. Loincn set a very
strong pace throughout the three
games and finished with an average of
184. The Giants seemed to get better
as the game progressed and finished
strong, Keown, Weaver and Rabeln
striking out in the tenth frame. The
Cubs on No. 2 alley rolled 998 lack
ing two pins of the remarkable aver
age of 200 for each player. Huff of
the Cubs was the 42-centimeter of the
evening, elevating the high score of
ti e series to 245. The Giants lacked
the heavy artillery but managed to
put a few dints In the high score hon
ors, Keown with 212 and Rabeln 204.
Both teams played very clean, not a
foul being made during the entire
play. The final score was as follows:
Cubs. 2595: Giants 2583 giving the
Cubs a lead of 245 pins for the two
nights. The third episode Is sched

extremely spectacular. Miss Mignon

Deputy’s Hands" an exciting western
picture and a burlesque comedy that’s
not only original but is also excruciat
ingly funny round out the bill. Usual

of mixed attractions.
CONGRESSMEN
DODGING
DRY ISSUE
'plernational News Service.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—It is an
open secret that congressmen are try
ing to dodge the prohibition issue for
the benefit of their Individual political
fortunes.
Many members of both houses who
are known to be opposed to prohibi
tion on both economical grounds and
from personal preference have re
gained ao far from opposition to the
Webb resolution for submission of a
constitutional amendment for nation
w'de prohibition to the states for their
decision.
These solons maintain that it is
better for the states to vote on the
question once for all and they are
confident that the required two thirds
vi'te of the states cannot be obtained
as only 25 states are In the dry column
now and the remainder are densely
populated and opposed to dry laws.
