Although the s-ason has now;
definitely closed and the mighty!
rivers are locked in the embrace of
Winter for the long sleep of the
Arctic night, it is interesting to
know what become ofthe boats and
where the3r choose their winter
quarters.
From a Signal Corps bulletin of
Oct. gth it is learned that the Delta
parsed Hot Springs cn her way to
Fairbanks at io p. m. on Oct. 8th..
It will be letnetnbered that she tried
to make Whitehorse but was com
pelled to turn back at Rampart on
account of ice. She will winter at
Fairbanks. On the same day the
Koyukuk was reported up at Ne
nana at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
The Delta was again heard from at
Tolovana and reported the Clow on
a bar at that place.
The agent at Neuana said that
the Scinvatka had passed down
river. He said she was looking for
a good place to go into winter quar
ters.
Tolovana reporte 1 two boats
three miles below him. He thought
them the Delta and the Minneapo
lis, but it would seem that he was
mistaken.
The Susie and the Davis arrived
at St. Michael on the evening ofthe
8th, after the Susie had pulkd the
St. Michael off a bar.
The ice was reported running
very heavy in the Yukon on the
10th of Oct. at Nulato.
AS A LAWYER
FERGY WAS THERE
The first ease has been tried by
Judge Taylor of Flat City, the de
fendauts have been acquitted of an
unjust charge and A. B. Ferguson,
the “Lorg Pine of Democracy” has
added another wreath to his laurels.
It happened last Saturday after
noon and the epoch-making event
required just about an hour in the
making. That is, it just took Fergy
about 60 minutes to convince the
jury that his clients were guiltless
, and above suspicion. They say
that the courtroom walls are stil
ringing with the passion of his elo
quenee.
It all came about this way. Fauk
James and John Mogus were
charged with taking wood that did
not belong to them from the Home
, stake association which is at the
. mouth of Flat and where Flat City
stands. Evidently there was some
, misunderstanding on somebody’s
part, for Ferguson was able to
prove that the men had a right to
• the wood, and the jury of six grave
. arbiters put the seal of approval
. upon his work.
GOLD HARVEST IS
ATTENDED WITH POMP

i the season and incidentally the
• largest pulled off at his lay this
summer, Doc Mading, operator on
i the upper end of the Wildcat as
• sociation on Flat creek was the

1 ried over into the next week.
There were a large number of
people present at the cleanup Sun
1 day afternoon when the rifles were
• lilted and the sluicebox found
• choked with gold. When the sand
■ was washed away, the yellow stuff
lay there gleaming in attractive
. looking piles that finally weighed
. in at $22,300, a consummation
most devoutly wished and enjoyed.
With this cleanup the active min
ing operations ceased on the claim
for the winter, and the crew dis
charged saving only such men as i
will be used in development and ■
exploration work until next season.
On Monday night Doc spread his
table for about 18 guests and they
reported such a time as never was.
Among those present were the
following : Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Worden, Miss Gertrude Jones, Mrs.
Selma Swanson, Mr. and Mrs. J.
McDowell, Miss Coolidge, Mrs. H.
Cummings, Jack Holmes, Jonas
Brewis, Tom Jackson, Claude

TRAIL TO FLAT

creek at this particular time are

and at the sliding places it is itn
possible to keep bobs from swing
ing into dangerous hole.^.

distance. They were all dumped
out on the frozen ground but a
sprained finger is the only damage
reported.

sleigh, but subsequent inquiry de
veloped only a slight injury.
