Snow At Slate.
Si.atk Chf.ek. June 27.—Wo have
had nnnther snowstorm that lasted
24 hours and covered everything
with the l>eaiitiful. To-day the sun
ro-apponred, and will no doubt
make quick work of the snow that
fell. There was hi-yu water every
where last week, and the old com
plaint of ‘‘not enough water” was
not heard. Deni|*scy had jnst fin
ished the bridge across the Chistu
ehina in time; the freshet took it
along.
Chas. Kraemer has an accumula
tion of tin cans hack of his tent;
a wild goat espied these early one
morning, and considering it a good
feeding ground stopped to take a
meal. The rattling of the cans
awoke Chas. hut lie did not get the
goat—the gun was not loaded.
Billy, however, succumbed to nine
shots fired by Charley Hurd and
Ole Benson.
naipn Nroorg has invented a
new alarm clock. After partaking
of his lunch at noon he enjoys his
siesta in a sluice box. At 1 o’clock
Geo. Davison* turns the water on.
His alarm clock is an improvement
on all others, in that it does away
with all inclination to sleep a few
more winks after the alarm has
gone off.
The late arrivals are Tanzy and
party, the Coon family and Fritz.
Cattle outfit and the Two Amazons
left for Tanana.
Nearly all the old timers are
working, but there are too many
men here to do the work, and as
the late arrivals have come without
grub, and none is to Ire had here,
a good many dissatisfied persons
will leave this camp at an early
date. All claims are working day
and night now, and there is plenty
of water. 'A little snow still re
mains on Miller Gulch, and frost
is occasionally encountered.
The Humdinger is showing up
in better shape than last year,
judging from the first clean up
made. Ysou.

Notice to Property Owners, No. 2.
We have changed our minds. As the first Railroad has come and gone and the Nizina has
turned out better than expected, gold will soon be more plentiful than land. We advise land owners
to hold up high till the next railroad, or you will be submerged in gold dust and find yourself landless.
