Cold Street, Flat City Mrs. T. A. Perkins, PropJ
There was a stirring about at the A. B. Ilall in Flat last Saturday
night'closely resending a meeting of the Chicago stock exchange in
the closing days of a wheat corner. The occasion was the election o(
officers ot Flat City Camp No. 26 ot the Arctic Brotherhood, and tire
initial ion of some 80 new members who have come in under the camp’s 1
new charter ju.-t received from the coast.
Tonight there is another batch cl to or 1,5 “goats’’ to go through!
in addition to the ceremony incident to the installation of the officers
elected last week.
Owing to the rush of events and the consequent inability to pre
pare all the proper paraphanalia, together wi ll the large number ot can
didates that were on hand to go over the trail, the regular work ot in :
in i’.ion was curtailed to a large extent, a condition that will not obtain 1
i ° ...
tins tv.nitig. 'they have all the proper trail impedimenta on hand for
t.might, and as a result this second bunch of lambs will get all that’s
coming to them. They are trembling in their shoes and are protesting I
;.t being made examples for their more fortunate brothers who took the j
count hist week and u ho can now sit on the side lines and cheer while I
the new ones get theirs.
Last Sunday in Flat it is said that one half of the population thought 1
the other halt demented as they were going around with thumbs to j
tars and noses, waggling their lingers wildly in the air. It closelv re 1
sembled the stirring times in New Amsterdam when Antony Von
Cor lea r returned with the message of Nicholas Koorn, the watch-meester i
ot Renseliae:wick, in response to a demand to vacate the tort. It con- I
sisted in placing the thumb of the right hand 10 the end of the trese, j
and the thumb of the left hand to the little finger of the right Spread I
ing the hands like a fan, the sign was completed by an aerial flourish of!
the fingers.
Antony Von Corlear, the ambassador to Rerisellaerwiek, returned j
to N\ vv Amsterdam sorely perplexed at the meaning ot this symbol and !
reported to the council. Soon all the inhabitants of New Amsterdam j
were practicing the sign, as toid in Knickerbocker’s history of New I
York.
However, the inhabitants of Flat have toned down a trifle during
the last week, and following tonight's performance, may be led to re
gard the antics of the new members with complacency.
The officers to tie installed tonight, are as follows : Arctic Chief,
Chas. K. Taylor; Vice-Arctic Chief, W. R. Day; Recorder, Dr. F,. M.
Spaulding; Keeper of Nuggets, 0. J. Hurley; Camp Cook, Frank P.
Ingles; Champlain, Malcom McDonald; Trail Guard, Robert Hart;
Trail Blazer, Win. Kelly ; Whitehorse Pilots, T. H. Towsley and
Jonas Bretvis ; Keeper ot Inner Toll Gate, Con Buckley; Keeper
of Outer Toll Gate, Tom Lewis Trustees, A. V. Thorns, Dr. C. D,
Carter, Harry Shaw, Jack Ronan and C. R. Peck.
Big Mill to Run All Year Round
Juneau, Keb. 24- -Southeastern Alaska
-•incc Nov. 23rd lias had an all-tho-j ear
around stamp mill. Extensions to the
shaft of the 300-stamp mill at Tread
well were provided with sevcnteen-foot,
pulleys, which were attached to motors
or, the bay side of the shaft. Now the
mill will run in dry times as well as
wet. It will only be necessary to take
the bolts out of the flanges and the mill
will run on water power; when the
bolts are put in the motors will run the
mill. The mil! will materially increase
the output of the Treadwell mines, as
it is the second largest mill in the
world.

Cramps Catch Tom on Trail
Tom Marcusson, formerly of Ester
creek, and lately of Dikeman, under
went a painful experience on his recent
trip up from Dikeman, aud incidentally
learned all about the full meaning of
the word “cramps.”
He had started from the lower town
on foot, and on Tuesday ■ night, had ar
rived at a point three miles beyond
Richmond or about seven miles from
this city. For some distance lie had
suffered severely and at last could pro
ceed no farther.
At this critical juncture, he was over
taken by Seward Baggerly, who was
coming up from Dikeman on foot ahead
of his meat teams. Finding that Mar
cusson was in urgent need of assistance,
he hurried on to town, running most of
the way, and hunting out Capt. Green,
dispatched him with a dog team to
Marcusson's assistance. Medical aid
was procured for the sick man, upon
his arrival here, and he was relieved of
his suffering within a few hours.

arrived in the city last Saturday night,
the former returning after a short
stay on the Yukon, and the two
latter coming home from a visit to the
Red Mountain strike on the Koyukuk.
Kellogg had gone out in January with
Ray Brumbaugh and A1 Thorns, and
had decided to push on to Fairbanks.
Just before his intended departure, be
received tlie mail he was looking for
and decided to return, his partner and
Thorns having departed for Iditarod
ahead of him. The trail was much bet
ter and the weather good, wherefore it
only took him little less than a third
of the time to return than it did to go.
Price and Farrer have little to say of
the Koyukuk country, more than to
admit that it did not come up to then
expectations._
