MARK SULLIVAN
IS THE PRESIDENT
A meeting was held 'Thursday night at the M. & M. bank
whereat was born the Iditarod Club. Some 20 members gathered
around and read the by laws after which they adopted them and
elected officers.
The Iditarod Club is destined, it is hoped, to be a center of so
cial life this winter for men who desire a quiet retreat where they
can find a book of verses underneath the acetylene or masticate the
muslin with convivial companions. It will have a membership of
about 60, according to the present outlook, and will be provided
with splendid quarters in the upper story of the Bank building.
At the meeting Thursday night Mark E. Sullivan was elected
president, Theodore Johnson was selected as vice president, Chas.
E. Taylor was made secretary, and E. G. Lindberg was appointed
to the post of treasurer.
In addition, a board of five tru tees was selected by ballot who
will look after the destinies of the club with the assistance of the
other officers. Bert Day, Major Strong, Henry Wier, John Dun
can and Capt. Peterson constitute the board of trustees, and it is
now their duty to get things in proper shape at the earliest possi
ble moment for the opening.
It is the intention of the club to furnish the rooms as nicely as
funds will allow, and should it thrive and prosper, more elaborate
furniture will be shipped in next summer A steward will be se
lected, a long line of magazines purchased, a pool table put in run
ning order, and an easy chair provided for those who want to look
on. It is requested that no one speak to the dumb waiter.
John Ness Reported
Safe On Julian Greek
A man by the name of Jackson sent
word in from Georgetown, that John
Ness, who was reported lost on Donlar.
creek, had arrived safely at Julian
creek.
Particulars could not be learned, but
it is presumed that Ness was stopping
at someone’s cabin during the time
that he was supposed to be lost.
THIS RED SKIN
HAS HANDS FULL
With 53 dogs that were feeling fine
and frisky, an Indian, representing
I Armour of the Yukon, arrived in town
Friday and cached his charges in the
woods just below the Slippern mill.
Among the bunch of malamutes and
huskies he has dogs belonging to Jake
Mutchler, Hardwick, Fred Sell meltzel
and others. They were taken out to
the Yukon last summer for feeding,
and arrive here just when they are
needed.

M. R. HUSSEY FLAT CITY P. J. MANNION
COMING AND GOING]
Mike Brady, who has been in Alaska
24 years and has nerer seen a street
car or slipped on a banana peel, came
into town last week to look about a
bit. He can remember when the boys
used to run to the top of Mt. McKinley
just for exercise before it grew so big.
He says he is going Outside some day
and will hire a moving van so as to es
cape the dangers of the street.
Max Altman and Otto Kroehle, two
of the best known miners in the coun
try have just returned after another
hurry-up survey and staking party in
the Kuskokwim, and a trip to George
town for grub. In their travels they
got as far as the extreme head of the
Kolmakovski, way up in the high Saw
tooth mountains, where they staked
two new creeks. This river comes in
some fifty miles below Georgetown.
They report that they passed thirteen
small prospecting boilers being taken
over to the new fields. They have taken
back a boiler for prospecting on their
holdings on Donlan tributaries.
Mike Mahoney and Geo. Rich came
in Tuesday with another bunch of goods
from down river. They are working
two teams to advantage as it is now
fair going between this city and the
place where the goods is or are. They
havo a bunch ot their own machinery
down there which took gold out on 16
Goldstieam. That plant they will bring
up and possibly snoop around for some
more of the yellow stuff over on these
here creeks.
Joe McDowell was out hunting the
other day near the head of Flat. Just
at the moment that lie flushed a herd
of a million ptarmigan he hapcened to
be suspended between heaven and earth
with his hands full of gat ling guns and
willows. He was in town last week
and hadn’t stopped cussing yet.
Wm. Bristol started down river last
week for the Indian village near the
mouth of the Iditarod. It is here that
Clancy is tied up with his freight, and
Bristol intends to help him in with it.
C’apt. Donovan met with a serious
accident last Thursday and may be crip
pled for life. He got his face mixed up
with a lawn-mower and lost his mus
tache. Outside of that there’s no news.
Instead of naming it the Georgetown
recording district as was at first sup
posed here, they are recording in the
Kuskokwim district across the divide.
Commissioner Heavey has the books
lined up in fairly good shape by this
time, being assisted by Andrew Jake
man, who is there with the pen.
John B. Adams, assayer of the Wash
ington-Alaska Bank at Fairbanks, is at
Lewis’ on the Yukon, having come
down on the Minneapolis. Geo. Wescb
is also supposed to be with him. They
were headed for the Kuskokwim, but
it is probable that they will come to
Iditarod e’er long.
THEY NOW SING, “NO
ARMSTRONG FOR ME"
That Armstrong pump didn’t work
on Granite creek. It might work on
other creeks, but nothing stirring on
Granite.
Hence, there is a reason. Ask Bob
Martin or Casper Ellinger. They were
in town last week buying another
pump,—one of these newfangled things
what works by steam.
They do say that they panned fairish
stuff in the hole they put down on 1-a
Granite. They figured that they were
seven feet front bedrock when they
were driven out by water, but at that,
there were four feet of dirt that carried
gold, and 10c pans are not so worse.
Martin and Ellinger secured other
machinery,—the kind of machinery you
can stick a piece of wood into and then
sit down and watch it work. Besides
that, they intend putting on a lot of
lumber with which they will flume
water down and out. Granite is look
ing better every minute, and it is en
tirely probable that they will have
more to say next summer about that
same stream.

IF THEY SHOULD,
WHYSHOULDN'TTHEY?
Being swatted by soma of the Kostnic
Kilowatts that happened out of this of
fice, to the effect that several people
are entitled to saloon licenses if they
happen to have the coin, Pete Michels,
the man who sold rope cut into lengths
like an Havana cigar, is out with a
large application which goes to Judge
Overfield on the next mail.
Pete believes there should be a sa
loon at Discovery Otter. Every man,
woman and child out there, evidently
believes the same thing for they all
signed Pete’s petition, knowing that he
will deliver the goods if the court gives
him a chance.
According to the petition it appears
that Pete’s place will be within the
two-railo radius of a marshal and
commissioner. If Flat City shall have
a saloon, argues Pete, why shouldn't
Discovery, and echo answers “Why ?”
Pete has been in the saloon business
before, but unlike a petition circulated
here recently, Pete did not ask per
mission to “manufacture, barter, sell
and exchange,’’—he just wants to sell
it.
OTTER GLOB BLOSSOMS
INTO FULL BLOOM
Willi a signed membership of
more than 60 names, and a strong
probability of its reaching 75, the
Otter Club was launched upon the
sea of private intercourse last Tues
day night when officers were, elected
at Ashby Bain’s place on i-a Otter.
Andy Hensley was made presi
dent and he accepted the honor as
gracefully as could be possible.
Capt John Worth was named vice
president, A. E. Bain was made
secretary and Daniel McGuire was
appointed to hold the poke.
The club will have its quarters
in Bain's pool rooms which will be
turned over entirely for the use ot
the social organization. It has the
hearty support of the men of Otter,
for it is bound to furnish a haven
of refuge in the season of long
nights.
TRANSFERS MADE
ON DONLAN GREEK
Nine interests on Donlan creek were
transferred last week by Louis Roth
more, partner of A. B. Ferguson and
Ed Rusk of Flat creek.
The sale was made to Tory Farbo,
but an earnest attempt to pry loose in
formation concerning the purchase
price failed utterly.
This is one of the big deals of the
year, however, and means that Donlan
is looking up in the matter of having
something.
Eyes examined free—Simpson’s.
