Aaron Longnecker, pioneer sawmill
titan of the lnnoko valley, arrived in
town Thursday from Moore creek,
where he has property. Mr. '. mg
neckt-r came in tea- supplies and des
patched two pack mule-- laden with
provisions vests rday. As soon as they
return another haul will he sent and

to keep going until the early fail,
•'twiugto the low stage of the water
freighting front Takotna has not been
possible lately, even pe.ing boats being
unable to make the Job-mile journey I
between the post and Moore. In any
ease, Mr. Lj^gnecker says that Idltai •<;
is the natural source of supply fur
Moore creek, and it is probabi" :hat
till future supplies will ho sen: ovet
the winter trail, which has been
greatly improved by the road commis
sion this season.
•Speaking of > in the camp.
Longnecker says that the outlook is
quite bright. Knell, McArdle and as
soc i at us have a total of 12 men at work,
as also has Theodore Witte and part
ners. and are all ready to begin sluicing.
Knell is at present washing up. lie
had a little bad luck with his ditch
which held things hack fora few days,
but everything is till right again now.
Both Knell and Witte are thought to
be on very good ground and the first
cleanups are looked forward to with
considerable interest.
Longnecker and his partner, on Ne
vada gulch, a tributary of Moore, are
working on a smaller scale, having
only three men. They have made two
small cleanups and JO ounces of coarse
gold and large nuggets were brought
in for assay. Judging by the appear
ance of the gold it is apparent that
there is a great deal of rich quartz in
the immediate vicinity, and it would
surprise no one there if a quartz strike
were made at any time.
Witte brought in several large nug
gets, one being worth *110, another
$30. and one $1*.
Moore creek is said to be good from
5-a. to !i-a., which have been pretty
well tested, but below that very little
has been done.
Ground sluicing is the method of
mining employed, and there is no ma
chinery whatever in the district.
There is a plentiful supply of timber,
and if tilings turn out as expected Mr.
Longnecker will take his sawmill over
to Moore after the freezeup.
Nothing 1ms been done so far on the
creek claims, which are apparently a
dredging or open-cut proposition. The
distance from here to Moore is about
415 miles on the summer trail along the
ridges, but the winter trail is only 45
miles. _

Three of the World's Greatest Powers Pledge Themselves to Eternal Peace; Setting an Example to the Rest
of the Nations That Must he of Incalculable Benelit to the Human Race
Washington, August 1. Wireless Special.—The greatest and
most far-reaching treaty ever submitted for the consideration of
it wo or more great powers was the treaty providing for permanent
p.-ace between the United States, Great Britain and France, which
i wa - signed by President Taft today, and immediately rushed by
him to the Senate.
I'liu treaty provides that in future no cause whatever can re
sult in war between the contracting parties, and that henceforth all
! questions in dispute, deluding questions which involve national
; honor, must bo submitted to a permanent board of arbitration, se
1 looted from among the Powers themselves.
The treaty lias already been signed by France and Great
Britain, and it is now for the United States Senate to say whether
this great power for righteousness against might shall prevail, or
whether the treaty shall be so emasculated that it will be practic
al! v useless.
I
President Taft is the originator of the proposed peace pact
and lias stated that should the treaty pass the Senate in its pres
ent form he will consider it the crowning work of his career, by
which posterity will judge him.
Certain opposition to the treaty has manifested itself from two
political organizations in the United States, but it remains to be
seen whether the Senate will allow such influence to prevent the
consummation of what is undoubtedly the worthiest proposal ever
i brought before a human tribunal.
New York, August 4. Wireless Special.—Admiral Togo ar
i rived here from London today, and will spend 17 days in the United
1 States as a guest of the nation. Upon his arrival lie learned that
President Taft had signed the arbitration treaty. He was evi
dently pleased, and said that Japan must be the next nation to
sign. Togo’s statement is very gratifying, as lie lias tremendous
influence in Japan.

dent Simon succeeded Nord Alexis, who lost out in the revolution ol

THEY WANT NERVY NAT’S BOOK SUPPRESSED
New York, August 4. — Wireless Special.—Nut Goodwin, the;
morbidly matrimonial actor, completed arrangements with a pub
lisher s mm weeks ago to write an account of his very vu;v 4 <■:•:•
jperiences in the matrimonial line. As was to be expoetc ', the
smart set is looking forward with considerable impatience to the
publication <■> f the book, for "Nervy Xat” had had not less than six
wives, a I of whom divorced him except tin; first, Eliza Woat isorby,
whom ii ; married in the early 40s, and who died in early woman
hood. sires that time Goodwin has been '‘playing the field” to
such an extent that he is more often in the divorce court than out
of it. His temporary matrimonial alliances with Maxine Elliott
and Edna Goodrich gained all parties great notoriety, and these
two ladies have asked the circuit court of New York to suppress
his book on wives. Although, as actresses, they do not object to
publicity, they do not relish the idea of having their hearts laid
bare for the delectation of the higlr rollers.
During one of his famous divorce cases Goodwin was asked in
cross examination ho.v it was lie was so successful with the ladies.
“Oh,” replied the nervy one without turning a single blonde hair,
"It’s a gift.”
