MISFORTUNE BEFELL CHAS. KNELL
One of the most awkward things to
explain away is a black eye. No mat
ter how good your general reputation
for veracity, your statement that you
came by the facial adornment in a
legitimate manner is generally doubled,
even by your friends. Behind your
back they will insist that you must at
least have been disorderly, if no worse:
and so your reputation is blasted for
ever, or until another victim meets
with similar misfortune.
Such is Charley Knell’s predicament
at the present time. Charley says he
was on the roof of Griffin's store at
Flat City, fixing the stovepipe, when
lie slipped and fell to the ground, sus
staining nothing more serious than an
optical discoloration. That is his ex
planation; but when he tells his
friends they only laugh.

HOLMGREN BITS
OUT T. ERICKSON
A deal was put through during the
week whereby John Holmgren ac
quired all the interests in this district
of Victor Erickson, including an in
terest in the Wildcat association that
makes Mr. Holmgren owner of over
half the ground. The interests so ac
quired are as follows:
An undivided 1-G in the Wildcat as
sociation; an undivided 1-6 in the Ayl
mer association: a 1-8 interest in the
Hilltop association, and all of Mr.
Erickson's interests on Otter, Flat,
Chicken and other creeks in this dis
trict.
The purchase price has not been
divulged, but the deal is a most im
portant one and some of the ground is
of great value.
WOODROW WILSON'S
PROMISE TO ALASKA
St. Louis, Novemher 15 — Dur
ing a campaign speech here a
few days before the election, Gov.
Woodrow Wilson made the follow
ing hopeful statement regarding
Alaska:
“Why is it that the people of the
state of Washington cannot buy
coal from Alaska, where it is piled
up waiting to be used? It is be
cause the government does not yet
know how to prevent the Guggec
heiras and men like them from
closing their hands upon Alaska.
The Democrats know exactly how
to solve that problem, and open up
Alaska resources for the benefit ol
the territory and its population.”
COMING OVER SEWARD TRAIL
WITH THREE FAST DOGTEAMS
Jack Baird received a telegram
from Jujuiro Wada last Monday an
nouncing his arrival at Seward, and
stating that he bad started overland
for Iditarod with three dogteams.
Mr. Baird is unable to account
for the threedogteams, unless Wada
is bringing in a couple of pumps
for use on his ground, as is prob
able. Wada will doubtless come
in light himself, leaviug the other
teams to follow at a slower pace.
He is expected here in a week or
to days.
Wada had requested the teams
to be in readiness for him upon his
ariival at Cordova on the Alameda,
and they were purchased by an
agent in his behalf
HURRY UP!

Although Mr. and Mrs. Beattie will
leave for the Koyukuk within a few
days, the hotel will remain open. Mr.

Beattie house and will endeavor to
maintain the high reputation for com
fort and cleanliness which the hotel has

FINED FOR ILLEGAL

store on Discovery, was on No

costs for selling liquor without a

guilty on the advice of his attorney,
E. Coke Hill.
PREPARATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR
INDICATE WOE ON BIG SCALE
Tom Aitken is making extensive preparations to work the
ground on Chicken creek which he acquired recently from Sterling
Dark and others. A great deal of prospecting has been done, and
more will be done this winter. The ground is to be worked by the
hydraulic method, and a contract has been entered into with a
local firm to supply 1,000 feet of 7-inch hydraulic pipe and 1,500
feet of 10-inch. The piping must be ready not later than May 1
next, so as to have everything in running order to take advantage
of the first water.
On Willow creek there will also be extensive work done next
season. Manley & Co- are prospecting the ground in a thorough i
manner, but the method that will be employed to work it has not
yet been decided. The ground is comparatively low-grade, but
Mr. Manley is reported to be figuring out a scheme of his own
whereby it may be worked so as to yield a good margin of profit.
A lot of representation work is going en at the head of Chicken
and Flat, and prospecting has begun on Cleary creek. Bob Hart
and others left Flat City for Cleary Thursday, and there are al
ready some outfits on the ground.
The taking over of the lower end of Flat creek by the Yukon
Gold Company will mean a big expenditure next season. It seems
practically certain that two new dredges wlil be shipped in by the
first boats- It is also reported that plans are under consideration
for the installation of a pipe line from Iditarod city to the creeks,
to carry crude oil which it is proposed (to use as fuel in place of
wood, as is done in many parts of Seward peninsula.
Taking everything into consideration, it seems that the camp
has a bright outlook for the next two or three seasons, to say
nothing of possible new discoveries at the head of the Iditarod,
which is once more the goal of many miners. That section is rec
ognized as low grade so far as work has been done, but it is be
lieved much of it is suitable for dredging purposes- A great deal
of the ground was staked in large associations in 1910, but little or
no work was done thereon. Considerable restaking is expected
this season in smaller areas.
Duncan Michie has given further proof of his faith in the dis
trict by purchasing, in partnership with F. B. Ingels, the Upgrade
association, formerly the property of Mitchell, Kilroy, Wigg and
Olson, and now being worked on a lay by Kilroy & Martindale.
After the lease expires Michie will probably work the ground him
self.
The great activity on Otter the past summer will be as nothing
compared to that of' next season, Riley & Marston being now en
gaged in arranging details for much more work.
While Slate creek as yet has failed to show' a regular pay
streak, some half dozen outfits at least will be prospecting there
this winter; and the creek may develop into something good, al
though probably low grade.

BIB BEAL 01 FLAT CREEK
WENT' DUBH THIS WEEK
Last Thursday the Yukon Gold Company concluded a deal
whereby they acquired much valuable property on the lower eml
. of Flat creek, and also some interests on Otter.
The Lucky Nine Mining Company sold their ground, but
the machinery thereon, for $54,000. The properties include 1 b.
Glen; a half interest in 5-b. Glen; a 7-18 interest in the Mohawk
association, and some claims on Black creek.
Gregg Stewart sold 14 and J. W. Duncan and Major Albrecht
an 1-8 interest in 3 b. Glen, for $10,000; the other half of the claim
having been secured by the company some weeks ago from Maher
& Britt.
The owners of the Wildcat association sold the Myrtle and
their interest in the Mohawk (a little over half), for the balance of
the amount, except that it is understood Harold Seddon will lease
| his interest.
The Lucky Nine was owned by Fred Vogler as to 3-9, Gregg „
Stewart 3 8, and Harold Seddon, Major Albrecht and Tom McKii.
non 1 9 each. A small interest in the Mohawk, owned by Charles
i Krutsinger does not appear to be included in the deal.
The Yukon Gold Company will probably install a dredge on
] the Mohawk and another on the Glen next season.
The Iditarod Pioneer forecasted this deal in the issue of Octo
ber 27, but it was denied at the time by those interested. It has
gone through practically as predicted.
Red Ellis and J. Johnson, both of
Otter creek, left for Fairbanks and
the Outside Thursday. They have a
good dog team and expect to make
fast time.
