Jesse Rogers is perfecting an j
idea lor a new stove, which lie j
claims will result in a saving of 50 |
per cent, in the wood bill. Ills
contention it that the renter of the]
stove as at present constructed is i
too far from the healing surface, or ]
outside of the stove, and that in
consequence much of the heat gen
eraled is wasted. His idea is to di I
vide the stove in the center in such j
a way that there would be an open]
space therein between two iron
plates. This would, of course,]
gieatly increase the heating surface j
of the stove at less expenditure of
wood. There are several other]
i lets which he proposes to incor
porate in the new pattern stove,
but the details are too lengthy lot
us to go into here. A call at the
Golden Eagle hotel will result in a;
d. moivstraMon of the idea.

It is understood that between now and the first of March the
! Yukon Gold Company will put a number of men to work getting
ready for the season’s operations.
Thawing on the Marietta ahead of the dredge will likely com
mence at once, the gold ship will be put in working trim, and the
powerhouse overhauled.
The company is now building a new machine shop, opposile
the powerhouse. It is understood that new equipment, including
a complete welding outfit, is cached on the Yukon somewhere in
the neighborhood of Rampart, and will be brought here on the first
i water. The launch carrying the welding outfit and other duplicate
machinery parts was dispatched from Dawson late last fall, but
was caught in the ice.
Last season a break occurred on the dredge which necessitated
a heavy piece of machinery being brought into this city for repairs,
as the company did not then have the equipment necessary to ef
i feet the repairs. The delay caused by having to haul in the heavy
1 part from upper Flat to Iditarod city and back spelled a heavy loss
for the company; it being claimed that the output was reduced
'some $40,000 or more thereby.
Judging from the requisitions drawn upon us, we are
bound 1o clean everything up, ere the first shipment of the
vast tonnage we are to receive reaches here. It is, therefore,
up to you to till in on your immediate wants—particularly at
the low price we are selling everything in order to clean up.
