SMITH’S ~CUN STORE,
IDITAROD, ALASKA
—
Many old-timers finished their long journey from the Outside world j
when the good ship Tana docked at the foot of Willow street early last ^
Wednesday morning, and many happy reunions were witnessed as the j
people of the town and creeks greeted the travelers. Among those who,
returned were several Iditarod merchants with fine fresh goods on the,
steamer’s barge, and they soon were as busy as nailers handing out j
their stock to merchants from the creek towns.
The Tana was the first boat to leave Lake LeBarge this spring,
and many stoiies ate told by tlie passengers of the incidents of the trip
— some of which were most amusing. George Friend was a passenger
as fitr as Ruby. On the journey down river George built a poem; the
Pioneer may publish that poem next week if our apology for so doing
is accepted by Sam Bavles—onr local sweet singer.
The passengers expressed themselves as being well pleased with i
the service and management of the boat under the guttling hand ofj
Captain Wallace Langley. The Pioneer learns that the captain still has !
| on hand a j iblot of good ad vice — gratuiously offered by passengers—as
j to when to stait from the lake; this advice, though a little old, is just
as good as new—it never was used.
The passenger list included; Mrs. J. D. Schwartz, Mr. and Mrs
! Folsom, Miss Olmstead, Mrs. S. E. Patched, Mrs. James Fraser, Tom
| McMahon, II. II. Porter, D. Edwards, J ike Johnson, H C Hamilton,
James O'Brien, Leslie Kehoe, Mis. Dawson, Mrs Mert Maiston, Miss
I Rose Murray, Miss Van Osdale, Mrs. L. G. Manley, F.d Douncily, II.
Boas, Max Boas, Mr. and Mrs. Isidore Bayles and two children, Mr.
! Eskridge, Danny BrYce. Gilbert Bates, Dick Button, Ben Cockerill, A
|E Maltby, Senator Roden, T Mauley, C T. Sitter, McCioskev, Harry
: Mincheil, Mise Inez, Miss Irene.
A man known as Teddy Trice, employed as night watchman on
the Tana, was list overboard jusr as the boat was leaving Dawson. The
body was not recovered.

OF RUBY
By this week’s mail Commis
sioner Albrecht received a letter
from Judge If. Coke Hill, of Ruby,
who, among other things, says;
‘•\Ve are having the spring
cleanup. The Yukon and the min
ers aie slowly engaged in cleaning
the dumps of the community. The
miners are doing a fairly good job
of it. So far (May 18) about half
of the dumps are reported to be
running better than expected. A
few weeks ago Charley Hoxie and
myself—with the assistance of some
older sojourners—made an estimate
and figured on $151,000 for the
winter dumps. It looks as if we
were probably a little too strong,
yet there is a strong chance that it
may run that high. The merchants
say that if it runs over $80,000 it
has done well enough to insure a
good camp. I think there is no
doubt it will run over $100,000.
There must be $2.0,000 out now
and about one-sixth of the dumps
on Long creek in, and the three
best pieces of ground on Trail
creek yet to bear from. Lower
Trail was a disappointment. Of
course, the best sixth of the dumps
is now in.

Leading Clothiers
On Tuesday evening last about 8 o’clock, George Bennett, a
well-known resident of this city, was stricken with paralysis, from
the effects of which he never regained consciousness, and on the
following morning, Wednesday, June 4, at about 10 o'clock, he
breathed his last.
Mi-. Bennett had but recently returned to this camp from Fair
banks, having spent a portion of the winter at the Big Chena ’not
springs, whither lie had gone for rheumatic treatment. Immedi
ately upon his arrival here his condition changed for the worse,
and for a few days prior to the fatal attack of paralysis bis friends
were much alarmed concerning him. Mr. Bennett was a Mason,
and the local members of the fraternity rendered all aid possible to
the stricken brother.
The deceased had resided in Fairbanks a number of years be
fore coming to this city, where he held good positions, and was
considered a tirst-class man in the mercantile business. He was a
man of affable manners, and his friends were legion. Little or
nothing is known of bis early career, beyond the fact that he had
been a resident of Seattle before coming North.
The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock
in A. B. Hall, conducted by members of tne Masonic Clubs of Idit
arod and Flat, the burial in the local cemetery.
