NAT DAVIDSON
DIES ON YUKON
Nulato, November 22.—Nat David-1
sou, an old-timer of the Yukon, who
was in the fish business in partnership
with A1 Chapin, died here yesterday
from pneumonia and brights disease.
By his own request he will be buried
at his old fishcamp, 25 miles below Kal
tag.
Mr. Davidson, who was in Iditarod
last summer, was living at Diskaket j
when overtaken by sickness. Chapin j
brought him over from that place, and J
he went into hospital here a week ago. j
He was apparently on the road to re- j
coverv, when he suddenly took a turn l
for the worse, and died last night. The I
doctor in attendance said that although |
his lungs were in Dad shape, the imme-!
diate causa of death was liver trouble, j
[mining notes"
T. P. Aitkcn has sold his 1 8 interest
in the K. P. M. association, on Otter
creek, and 1-16 interest in the Pros
pector association, at the mouth of Flat j
j creek, to the Yukon Gold Company.
| The lease granted to Dave Stranberg
by the Yukon Gold Company, embrac
ing the benches of the Gink associa
tion, Omega fraction and Fox associa-j
tion, all on Flat creek, calls for a roy
alty of 33 1-3 per cent. The lease ex
pires November 30, 1914. Stranberg
also gets a lease on the benches of the
Alpha association.
As indicated in last week’s Pioneer,
Harold Seddon did not sell his interest
| in the Mohawk association to the
j Yukon Gold Company, but has leased
j the same to the company until Novem
j ber, 1922.
I The Celene fraction, on Otter creek,
j between Discovery creek and bench
claims and 1-a. creek and bench claims,
has been purchased by the Yukon Gold
Company from T. P. Aitken.
In connection with the deal com
pleted lust week whereby F. B. Ingels
and Duncan Michie bought in on the
Upgrade association, it should be stated
that G. F. Kilroy retains a 1-8 interest
in the property, Messrs. Michie & In

COMMUNICATION j
To the Editor:
Sir—As there still seems to be some
misunderstanding regarding the hos
pital at Flat City, I would kindly ask
you to publish the following statement:
The hospital is still under the man
agement of the Episcopal church, and
not a private affair. When Archdeacon
Stuck came to Iditarod last July and
looked the situation over, he authorized
me to transfer such of the equipment,
of the Iditarod hospital as was needed
for the Emergency hospital at Flat to
the latter place. In a letter dated Sep
tember 23 Bishop Rowe approved of my
work in the camp, and regretted he
could not be of more financial help to
the hospital. The only support the
hospital gets from the church consists
in the payment of my salary—$50 a
month.
When in July, 1911, Iditarod was se
lected as the place for the hospital,
conditions were entirely different from
what they are now. The following fig
ures might be interesting to those who:
still think the hospital should be in I
Iditarod:
During this summer 36 patients were
cared for in the F[at hospital, while j
during this time only 4 persons needed |
hospital care in Iditarod. At present j
there are 5 persons in the hospital, all
from the creeks.
The hospital in Iditarod can only be
run under heavy expense during the
winter. The wood bill alone amounted
to over $600 last winter. A place has
been provided for in Flat during this
winter where the wood bill will only
amount to $100. As money has been ,
raised lor the hospital at Flat City by
public subscription, the public surely
have a right to know what has become
of the money, and every subscriber who
wants to know particulars about it is .
kindly invited so come to the hospital [
and go over the books.
Once more let ms state emphatically
that no patient ever lias or ever will
be turned away from the hospital be
cause he has do means. Of course
those patients who are able to pay are
expected to do so, as the hospital is j
under heavy running expenses all the
time.
Once more I take occasion to thank
all those who have kindly given their
support towards the maintenance of the
hospital. Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) NETTIE SCOTT DAVIS.

Los Angeles, October 31. — De
daring themselves much happier
than other couples who have been
married a like time, Mr. and Mrs.
Carlelon Washburne, who recently
startled society here by entering
into a “contract marriage” which
gives each the privilege of being a
parent of children out of wedlock,
t night pronounced their experi
ment a success.
‘‘Y.'t have much more freedom
than ordinary married people,”
said Mrs. Washburne. "The usual ^
marriage based on love, honor and
obedience is a travesty.”
