Acting upon the advice of City At.
torney Roden, the city council last
week took official action in the matter
of tlie application of certain residents
on Caribou street for an open way along
tlie waterfront and decided that the
city had better take no partin the fight.
A number of houses along the water
fitmt in that vicinity are practically
shutoff from communication with the
streets, and Some of the residents
thought the city should clear a way for
them. The matter was referred to Mr.
Roden for investigation, and he repor
ted that although there might be need
of some sort of a street along the water
| front, lie believed it was a matter for
i the individual citizens to fight out, and
j that tlie city had no business trying to
: make a street where none existed be
| fore. la other words, he declared, that
where streets have been dedicated to
tlte public and were streets when the
town was incorporated, then the city
j had a right to keep them open. But
j where there was not an accepted street
along the waterfront, the city had no
right to go in and try to establish one
\ there.
The matter threatens to get into
court for final settlement this coming
j month, for it is announced that Strand
i berg Bros, and others in that vicinity
I
I are about to file suit for the purpose of
vacating portions of the block to allow
j access to their residences and ware
I houses.
Mosquito Fieeters
Are Now Jubilant
With a continued speilofdry weather
which is as pleasant as it was unexpec
ted, the Iditarod river has lost its nerve
and refuses to spread any further. Dur
ing the week it has reached practically
the same level that it held during its
lowest stage last summer, and unless
something happens to change the bet
ting, there will be no inure big boats
here this summer.
Launch men are busy, for this is the
opening of their season of contentment.
Small power craft of all descriptions
are already in the water and others are
being built every day. Although this
is but the middle of June, the wTater
has receded to a stage that it held at
the end of July last summer, and as a
result it will require all the small boats
in the country and then some to get the
freight here.
Frank Fontas Off to Ohandfar
Having kept his weather eye cocked
toward the north for the last, three
years, Frank Fontas, the well-known
saloon man and partner of Manuel Gu
iarte, decided this week that he had
better go see what his partners are do
ing in the Chaudlar country. He left
Wednesday and will proceed directly
into that district, aiming to light ir the
vicinity of Chandlar lake where Com
missioner Marsh has been exploiting
his quartz properties for some time
past.
Mining men generally, who have
been in that country, are looking for
the announcement that a real quartz
camp has been struck there, and it is
some such assurance that is taking Air.
Fontas into that far country.

Something to This Little Story
As the probable total wrecking of
the Pacific Coast Steamship Company’s
steamer Cottage City was attended
without loss of life, but little regret
will be felt over the accident. We only
speak for Yukoners when we say the
steamars operated for several years
past on the regular northern run by
the Pacific Coast Company have not
been popular, and people from the in
terior have patronized them only when
no other craft was available. Travel
ers prefer newer and more up-to-date
steamers—steamers on which the ac
commodations ate superior to those of
the Pacific Coast Company, and steam
ers which do not peddle fish all over
Southeastern Alaska, thereby requir
ing sometimes a week to make the trip
between Seattle and Skagsvay. The
Cottage City was a good freight boat,
but was very unpopular with the trav
eling public. The same may be said of
all the steamers operated by that com
pany on the Northern run aside from
its excursion carriers. Now that the
company will be required to place an
other boat on the Northern run, it is
hoped it will be a modern steamer and
not a ‘‘tub.”—Whitehorse Star.
Newsboy Quartz Claim Is Looking Good
When the cleanup was made at the
Chena mill of the GO tons of ore from
the Newsboy claim, on the divide be
tween Little Eldorado and Cleary, it
was found that 708 ounces of amalgam
had been secured. When this was re
torted it gave a gold brick weighing
295 ounces, showing that the ore had
run nearly $73 to the ton. exclusive of
the concentrates, which, when assayed,
showed a value of more than $90 to the
ton.
The ore was mined at a depth of Go
feet, and was taken from a space about
20 feet square. The owners of the
property, Sherard, Golden and Scraf
ford, are pushing the development
work and are now down in their shaft
about 110 feet. The gold brick has
been on exhibition in Suter’s window
since the cleanup, and has excited
much admiration.—Fairbanks Citizen.
Seattle
