One of the Mutcliler horses became
angry yesterday afternoon and started
to leave an unpleasant double-ender on
Willow street. The double-ender was
very much attached to the horse and
followed it out Willow some distance,
where it met an ulterior object. The
meeting was entirely unexpected, re
sulting in a severing of all connection
with the horse, ana the sled is all bro
ken up about it.
Knock out that grippe! Get a
Turkish bath. Elite Baths, Cari

Paystreak Widens at
Upper End of Flat
Much satisfaction is felt near the head of Flat regarding the
successful explorations of John McKay and Pete Hotts, who have
been sinking on the right limit on the Aylmer fraction, which lies
just above the Marietta.
Moving 38 feet to the right of the known pay they started a
hole this week, and last night reported a depth of 12 feet and 7c.
pans. They figured they were four feet from bedrock.
According to the estimate of Mr. McKay this gives them a
paystreak of at least 100 feet width at the upper end of their
ground or where the run of gold comes in from the Alpha. They
have had rich ground there, known since their prospecting of last
fall, but finding it so far on the right limit has been a decided sur
prise. They are ready to begin work any time the sun gets on the
job in earnest, and they figure they will be able to start scraping
by June 10.
This particular part of Flat will be a scene of great activity
this summer. A number of outfits have the paystreak definitely
located as it comes down the hillside from the Idaho, and are pre
pared to jump on it with all feet working. Apparently, it drops
into the lower end of the Alpha from the hillside and runs thence
through the Aylmer and the Marietta. This natural basin has
acted as a settling tank for the sloughing of the hillside and here
is where the rich stuff will be found. '
The loggers on Upper Otter find
themselves up against it in the matter
of getting their logs to the river.
They have been waiting for the snow
to sink, but it has accommodated them
by sinking too fast and getting slushy
at the same time. They are now try
ing to yard out the logs with dog
teams, and it is feared that some of
them will be caught with their win
ter’s work far abore water. Logs for
milling purposes are scarce and are
commanding $75 a thousand feet.
Fine weather for a steam bath.

Car! Thiel Opens in
Big Blaze ot Glory
i
j One of the biggest openings recorded
j in the camp was that celebrated last
[Saturday night at Discovery, Otter,
j when Carl Thiel, the poo'room king,
: broke in the windows of his new ad
; dition and fed the populace on punch.
[ Spectators declare that at least 400
people visited the resort during the
j evening and listened to the Berggren &
Drake orchestra and the singing. Be
sides the musical stunts there was a
; sparring exhibition between Kid Ross
and Felix Seppi, who met at Flat two
! weeks ago, and a wrestling match be
between George Shaw and Jack
^ O'Connor.
The Thiel poolrooms now cover a
space 55x30 feet, with four tables mi
ning at full blast all the time. Soft
drinks and cigars are on the card at
any time, together with the latest
^canned opera.
Earl Slippern is preparing to move
his saw mill from Discovery to Flat.
