Meat Not Spoiiel
On Wrecked Barge
It is gratifying to learn that when
the barge Trender, with 200 tons of
meat on board for the Iditarod Meat
market, was wrecked a little above
Dikeman, the meat was not damaged
by water.
Fortunately the barge struck the
snag when in very shallow water, and
as the meat is only carried on the deck
of the barge it escaped immersion. It
will be brought here by the Little
Delta and the Wilbur Crintmin, and
should arrive at any moment.
Dance Tonight in A. B, Hal!
The usual Saturday night dance will
be held in the A. B. hall tonight.

Maxine Eiiiofi is
M Cheap Says flat
The name of Ihe book which Nat
Goodwin has written describing his
love affairs is “Why Beautiful Women
Marry Nat Goodwin.” Maxine Eliioti
comes in for particular notice in the
book.
Nat describes Maxine as “expensive”
and as the most eccentric of all his
wives. He says that she bad the Eng
lish bee in her bonnet.
“She tried hard to break into Eng
lish society and insisted we must try to
get together some of the Tmpeeunious
nobility and a few army men as guests.
I knew of no one who represented these
particular branches of society and had
no particular desire to, but, being un
der her hypnotic influence, had to do
my best, which was very poor, and
Maxine was disappointed.”

Ruby Strike Has
Shown Little Yet
Letters continue to arrive here from
Ruby city, which prove beyond a doubt
that nothing has been found in that
neighborhood since pay was found on
Long creek, and all statements to the
contrary should be accepted with con
siderable reserve.
A letter which arrived from Ruby
yesterday states positively that so far
pay had been located on one claim only,
viz., Discovery, on Long creek, and
that prospects had been found on Bear
pup. Apparently nothing else has
been found except colors.
The writer of the letter is well
known here. He claims to have been
all over the present diggings, and to
have looked into all the holes. That
he is not knocking the camp is evi
dent when he says that the eountry
looks good and he will endeavor to stay
by it.
Only two buildings have been
erected so far, and there are no oppor
tunities to work for wages.
The Ruby camp may turn out very
well yet: out it is quite unproved. To
stampede from here to Ruby at the
present time is sheer folly, especally in
view of the fact that the country is all
staked _
Fla! City Has Successful Danes
Bast Saturday a most successful
dance was given in the A. B. hall at
Flat city by the local baseball team.
There was a good attendance and the
music was line. The financial result
was very gratifying to the promoters,
as more than $250 was added to the
funds of the club.
Fine weather for a steam bath.
