Two-Story Jail Here
The contract was closed this week lor the election of a new jail in
this city, to be put up on First avenue, west of Otter street, and
opposite the lleimburger boarding house. It will be a two-story struc
ture, 22x42 feet, and will be ready for occupation by the middle of
August. The contract was made with the Cleveland mill aud building
operations have already commenced.
On behalf of the marshal's office of the Fourth Judicial District
Chief Deputy Charles authorised the construction of the building,
believing the present jail accommodations inadequate for the needs of
this end of the district. Especially has this want been felt because of
the lack of facilities for earing for insane patients, who frequently must
be held here for several weeks in the winter time, and for whom no
provisions have heretofore been made. I he new jail will have separate
quarters for them, and they can be housed in comfort until such time
as thev can be sent to the detention hospital at Faiibauks, on their wa\
to the Outside.
There will be ample room for other prisoners, and all convicted
prisoners, or accused persons held without bail will be sent to Iditarod
from any part of this portion of the district, to serve all except the
longest jail sentences. The long jail termers will probably go to Fair
banks.
Judge Over fie Id Lenient
Toward Jack Steady
It might be said that the action of Judge Overfield last Mon i
day afternoon, in imposing a fine upon Jack Sheedy instead of a
jail sentence met with almost universal approval, and that every
one was pleased to know that Sheedy's punishment during the)
year that he has waited for trial was considered by the court suf
ficiently severe. Following the adjournment of court he was sur
rounded by many friends and congratulated heartily. It is un
doubtedly true that he was the happiest man in the camp at that
I
moment.
The case was peculiar in that the prosecuting witnesses used
their utmost endeavors to secure a compromise with the district)
attorney and with the court. Over a year had passed since the
unpleasantness on 1-a Otter, Sheedy had been dragged from here]
to Fairbanks, had expended a great deal of money, and had since!

conducted himself in an orderly manner. The court took these [
things into consideration, explaining in dignified and forceful man
ner the grave responsibility which rested upon Sheedy in his
future conduct toward society.
In passing sentence he explained that the fine of $u00 repre
sented dOO days in jail at si' a day and $100 additional. He then
added a suspended sentence of 1G5 days, to be served after the ex
piration of one year, if the defendant were in the meantime guilty
of any misconduct.
Thinks Ghandlar Will
Be Great Quartz Gamp
Frank Fontas, partner of Manuel Gularte in the Iditarod1
saloon, who went to the Chandlar country early in the summer, re
turned last Monday with optimistic reports of the Chandlar quartz
properties that are being opened up there by faithful ones, who
have been pinning their faith to the country for the last several
years. He says that he confidently looks forward to the time not
far distant when the Chandlar will be a famous quartz country and
the producer of much wealth.
He visited the well-known Marsh properties, in the vicinity of
Chandlar lake, which have been developed by Commissioner Marsh
for the last two or three years, and in which he has been trying to
interest Outside capital for the purpose of getting in a feasible
road and a stamp mill. There are some thirty men in the district,
and Marsh has succeeded in getting in part of a small mill, but
will be compelled to wait until winter before he can freight in the
rest of it.
Carter is also figuring on installing a mill- He has sunk a
shaft on his property to a depth of 100 feet. At the top the width
of vein was less than three feet, but at the bottom of the shaft it
had widened to seven feet and much of the ore contains free,
visible gold.
Mr. Fontas may possibly return to that section in the late fall.

POOR 1VTAUD
Maud Muller on a winter’s day
Left home to attend the matinee.
The latest harem skirt she wore,
And people “rubbered” by the score.
The Judge whom she was soon to wed
Caughtsightof her and shook his head.
“If I am any judge,” said he,
“Maud Muller’s not the wife for me.”
He wrote her, breaking off the match—
He whom she thought so good a catch.
And now she sighs in lonely pain,
“I’ll never wear that skirt again.”
moral:
Girls who have beaux such garments
doff, ,
Or see the harem scare em off.

HERCULES
Hercules had done his labors in
the slickest sort of style, and a
bunch of awe-struck neighbors
came to jolly him awhile. “Colo
nel,” said the village sages, “you
have won a fame gaiore, that will
snort along the ages for a billion
years or more. You have won ira- !
mortal glory, won renown beyond
compare; you are strictly hunky
dory, you are right side up with
care.” “Peradventure,” said the
colonel, as he took a line-cut chew,
“my renown " ill be eternal, where
fore cockadoodle-doo! But the kites
f’tn not forgiving that all tilings are
out of tune; for it’s plain that I am
living seven thousand years too
soon. Let my fame o’er worlds be
sounded — what, then, shall the
profit bey There are no Chautau
quas founded, and the platform’s
not for me! Cheaper skates in later
ages, men who travel on their gall,
will draw in all kinds of wages in
the blooming concert hall. I might
lessen my distresses if I started
writing books, but there are no
printing presses—thunderation and
gadzooks! All my hopes are down
to zero, death to me would be a
boon; it is bum to be a hero seven
thousand years too soon!"—Walt

The Good Old Summer Time
Stroller White in Whitehorse Star:
A story comes from Victoria, where
street-car conductors are not allowed to
handle the corporation money, but pas
sengers are confronted tvith a slotted
box in which they drop their fare.
Mrs. Brown and her young son, Willie,
were frequent travelers on the line.
Children's fares were three cents, and
adults were compelled to pay lhe usual
5 cents. It was one of these trips that
Willie had donned his first pair of long
pants, and ma put in the usual fare, 3
for Willie and .1 for herself.
“Why,” said the conductor,“the boy
has on long pants.” “All right,” said
the mother. “Then take 5 for Willie
and 3 ior me.” A demure-looking lit
tle woman was sitting in the corner
with a satisfied air which read: “Here’s
where I ride for nothing.”
