Faibanks real estate has declined $500,000 during the past year,
according to the city’s assessment roll.
The winter dumps of Nome cleaned up $400,000.
Hattie Camp, on Duncan canal, owned by the Olympic Mining
company, was recently destroyed by fire, thought to have beet: stalled
by campers. The camp was to have been operated this summer.
The owners of No. 2, Wolf creek, a tributary of Cleary creek, in
the Fairbanks district, have taken over the wotkings of Hu Jem on
that claim, and the development of tire property is now going on tin
der the direction of Je-se Noble, one of the interested p.attics. Until
recently Jem was operating tinder a lease.
One of the deepest holes sunk in the country during the history ot
placer mining, was hedrocked this spring in the Chandlar distiict. It
was put down on Crooked creek, which runs into the North Fork, and
two years was taken in reaching bedrock. Finally, at a depth of
2S6 feet the bottom was reached, hut unfortunately no pay was shown
Forest fires that had been burning in the adjacent country for
several days, threw their embers over Haines and started fires in differ
ent parts of the town. The fire-fighting apparatus proved entirely in
adequate to cope with the situation, and for a time there seemed to he
no hope of saving the town. The property loss is great and is a severe
blow to the community. Fortunately no lives were lost and there are
no cases of serious injury.
Tire Cordova Daily Alaskan predicts that within twelve months
there will be over a hundred stamps diopping in the neighborhood of
McKinley lake, which is not far from the main line of the Copper

The raising of the quarantine restrictions was the sign for genera!
rejoicing in Dawson.
The 1910 gold output for the Yukon territory has been computed

A report from Dawson says that a stampede is on to Nansen creek,
fifty miles from Carmack’s on the Upper Yukon. Eight ounces was
taken from 140 buckets of dirt.
Ex Governor Draper of Massachusetts is en route to Valdez.
Nearly all the horses used by the Orr company during the winter
are now at McCarty’s, where they will be allowed to run loose during
the summer season, the valley of the Delta forming an excellent
grazing ground for the stock. There are now about 60 head there, un
der the care of Henry Martin.
Henry Elliott, ot Cleveland, charges that the North American
Commercial commercial company, killed 126,000 seals during their
lease of the PribilofF islands, which is greatly in excess of the number
they were permitted to take.
Start Survey of
Kuskokwim Bay
Seattle, July 30.—F. \V, Perkins,
acting superintendent of the depart
ment of coast and geoedic survey, in a
letter to Representative W. E. Hum
phrey, explains that the delay in mak
ing a survey of the Kuskokwim bay
and the buoying of that channel was
due to the dry rot attacking the tim
ber of the steamer Explorer and the
inadequacy of the appropriation of the
department for repairs.
With the new appropriation that
became available July 1, he says, the
work will be rushed, and the bay
charted and aids to navigation installed
at the entrance to the river this sum
mer.

THE AVIATOR
I - '
l saw the aviator soar far in the
windswept void, and said: “He re
| ally ought to be more usefully em
ployed. He's apt to fall a hundred
miles should pinions break or bend,
and while such things amuse the
crowd, they’re serving no good end.
Some day he'll break his swanlike
neck while painting cloudland red;
and if lie’s useless when alive, lie's
more so when he’s dead. I have no
wish to soar aloft and ride the
sweeping gale; I'll keep on raising
prairie hay, and sell it, bale by bale.
The man who makes two bales of hay
come forth where one has grown,
contributes to the public good and
earns a half a bone.” “The man who
dies,” my neighbor said, “will
gather in more dough than you will
get for all the hay from here to Jeri
cho. And though his airship often
sails above a field of wrecks, he en
tertains a jaded world—a world of
rubbernecks. Some people think,”
my neighbor said, “that no one
doing good, unless he's growing
bales of hay and other breakfast
food; but any man who takes sour
thoughts away from toil and care
contributes to the public good a
large and handsome share.—Walt

Kansas City, July 1(5.—When Clara
K. Scott, 21! years old, of Miami, Mo.,
asked Harrison G. Saunders, beauty
doctor, last October if lie could reduce
the size of her ears and keep them
from standing out lie told her, she
says, he could make them as beautiful
as the ears of Mrs. Frances Wilcox
Saunders, his wife, who is a very beau
tiful woman. That pleased Miss Scott.
So she demanded an immediate opera
tion.
“It will be a painless operation, and
the defects will be cured in four days,1'
Saunders told her, according to her
story.
Miss Scott paid Mr. Saunders a valu
able consideration, underwent the op
eration and waited. To her great dis
may and disappointment her ears grew
larger, the degree of the slant from the
head increased, and her rest and nerves
were disturbed, she says. She asks
$25,000 damages for disappointment and
injuries in a suit.
