SOUTH FORK IS
GOAL OF MBS
The South Fork of the Kusko
kwira, which has been the scene of
two or three small stampedes dur
ing the past few years, is again the
goal of some of our Iditarod pros
pectors. It is said there are about
a dozen men from here now in the
region or on their way, among
them being Chailey Erick, formerly
deputy marshal at Flat; Sam She
quiu, Joe Hinckley and others.
Several who left last week ostensi
bly for Seward are believed to be
beaded for the South Fork. Charley
Knell is also thinking of taking a
run over to size up the district.
| The point on the South F'ork
where the prospecting is being
i done is probably that part of the
Alaska range between the Kusko
jkwim and the head of the Skwenjfna
river, which region has been visited
often by prospectors from Cook
inlet, the Yentna, etc., and is be
lieved to offer much promise.’ ’

PHILANTHROPY
Caused an earthquake around Richmond, where the
echo-compression exhausted its forces. Fortunately the
combustion being of a mild nature—such as is generated
by a tea-and-doughnut substance-—the inhabitants there
were saved from destruction, getting ofF with a slight
confusion.
Fearing a catastrophe of that sort may strike our
well-populated settlements, we would advise *SlIOX pad
dings, which can be secured by the street huckers and
peddlers that are running loose, tantalizing all pass
ersby visiting this point of trading.

ABE \ SS BUYS
OUT N. N. JAFFE
One of the most important business
deals put through in this camp was
consummated last week when A. J.
(Abe) Weiss purchased the stock-in
trade and goodwill of N. Jaffe for
$20,000.
Mr. Weiss came to Alaska in 1904.
when he started in business at Fair
banks a$ a cigar merchant. He opened
up in a-vepy small way, indeed, but by
careful attention to business and uni
form courtesy he soon built up a nice
connection, and began to forge ahead.
In 1910 Mr. Weiss joined in the
stampede to the Iditarod, but early
finding an opportunity to dispose of his
stock, he sold out and went Outside.
When he returned, it was with a tine
line of men’s clothing and furnishings,
and he established himself at Flat City,
where he was successful from the start.
His reputation for fair dealing soon be
came known on the creeks, with the
result that he soon controlled a great
percentage of the creek trade. Now he
has bought out his most important
competitor and has one of the largest
stocks of men’s wearing apparel in j
Alaska.
Mr. Weiss’ success is a good indica
tion of what CBn be accomplished in a
few years in Alaska by a young busi
ness man who sets himself out to please
his patrons, treat everybody with cour.
tesv, and run a one-price store. from
a little cigar stand to a $20.000-deal in
a few years is not bad. Abe is very
popular at Flat City, aud his continued
success may be counted on.
Archie Mitchell will shortly leave
1 for Cripple.
Duncan Michie may go over to the
J Cripple strike later on this year.
Gregg Stewart's favorite hunting
dog got hurt in the woods early this
week. His leg was so badly cut that
Mr. Stewart thought the animal would
bleed to death, and hurried to Flat to
get treatment for it.
TOQUE found near firehall. Owner can
get it at P. O. by paying for advt.
