were, consequently, over three weeks j

MALCOLM I'DOMLD'
DISCUSSES ANIAK
Malcolm McDonald, who arrived
from the Aniak last Tuesday evening
wilh Fred Dabelle, has great faith in
that district and plans to return within
a couple of weeks to remain at least a
year.
Development of the district has met
many difficulties, among which may
tie mentioned the wet ground and the
impossibility of getting adequate ma-1
chinery into tlie country under present
conditions. Nevertheless work done to
date proves the value af the Aniak,
and while an inllux of people at the j
present time is not justified, yet a [
year or two is likely to see a substan- j
i ial camp established.
The prospecting this fall has been
more in the nature of representation j
work, as there was much ground which j
would have lapsed at '.lie new year had I
not this work been performed. Con
sc q iently there is little new to report
about the camp. But sufficient has
been uncovered to warrant several
outfits starting up next spring, among
those who will employ crews and fake1
out cuts on Marvel creek being Messrs.
Perry, Bennett, Morvin, Kennedy and
Bevins. On Dominion creek one hole ]
12 feet doep and no bedrock showed 1} 1
feet of gravel which panned f.iom 3 to I
5 cents. This creek is very wet, and i
likely to be deep, as several holes I
down 20 feet have not reached bedrock J
On Cripple, Christy and Parks have!
pay. Marvel produced over $15,000 j
last season—an excellent showing for]
so young a camp.

££4^4* [ Jj arrangements have been eom
§?£ ra pit ted for a series of five games
0j basketball, to be pulled oft
at A. IS. Kail, Iditaeud. The first of
t lie series will be played next Friday
night, January 17. and there will be a
game every Friday following until the
schedule is finished.
Much effort and perseverence was re
quired in arousing sufficient ent husiasm
to make up the number of players nec
essary for two teams', but owing to the
fact that new material showed up at
the last two practice games, it became
possible to choose players from 17
lively, husky candidates. The task of
choosing players for the respective
teams was pure guesswork, but the
commitiee in charge eventually se
lected a bunch to start off with, feeling
confident that, if necessary, seven or
eight other cracker-jacks Could be
called upon. Following are the teams:
A. B. STILETTO
R. 0. Button, capt. H. Donnelly, capt.
Claude Baker Clias. Larson
Vic Wolfe W. F. Kilgore
J. C. Currin Frank Kern
Frank Larson li irl Byers
It will be noted that several familiar
names appear in the lists, but as their
brilliant records are well known, it is
unnecessary to discuss their merits as
players.
That venerable old warhorse, Prof.
C. P. Wood, has been engaged as re
feree.
But basketball will not be the only
attraction at the hall. Owing to the
everlasting rivalry between teamsters
and merchants, they have agreed to
settle their differences on the diamond
with bats at indoor baseball. The
teams chosen are there with the goods
—the committee's chief difficulty being
to keep them down to size. There w as
also a sticker as to the eligibility of
some of tlie candidates, as they either
had to he in the. skinning or bean busi
ness. Following are the line-ups:
BEAKERS
E. M. Rusk, beaner, captain.
Ramps Peterson, uster bean.
H. II. Porter, beaner.
Sam Applebaum, beans.
Jack Baird, beans.
T. L. Thnrston, jelly beans.
Ben Bromberg, beaner.
SKINNERS
Dave Mutehler, skinner, captain.
Herb Riley, near skinner.
Wm. Acheson, skinned bis nose.
John Holmes, skinned again.
Bill Anslev, skinned.
Sam Bayles, (?)
Jos. II. Smith, skimmer.
Baseball will commence at 8:30 sharp
each evening. Five innings will be
played, after which will come the bas
ketball.
On Friday, January 24, the games
will be followed by an informal dance.
Iso it is particularly requested that a|
{ prompt start be made. The dance has j
j he ft) arranged for hy the A. B. enter
| tainment committee,
j The regular charge for admission to j
i the bail game will he $1 - the same as J
| last year. On occasions when a dance |
j follows, those desirous of remaining j
1 may do so upon paunent of an extra $1 i
i per couple.
Tite following anthem has been writ-1
ten in honor of tite Home team. Evety-j
| body should leant it, and it should he !
I sung lustily. It is set to the tune |
i "There Is No Girl Hike tite Old Girl."
) There is no team like the Home team,
j It's the best team of ali,
| They're the boys for all our beans,
They itave always got the bail;
j For we'll always, yes, we’ll alwa\s
Back our boys up to the skies,
. There is no team like tite Home team, j
It's tite best team of all.

Dubs A^ain Beat Regulors
Button's Dubs again beat Donnelly's j
| Regulars in a very sw ift practice game j
] last Monday night. The score at. the j
; tin is It was 4S-LH. Tite town sports are!
\ very dubious as to tite Regulars'
! chances of ever winning a game from j
j the Dubs.
Stilettos Victors Wednesday
Hast Wednesday evening, before a ;
! large crowd, the Stiletto team demon-j
strated their ability in the cleaning
| line by trimming the A. B's. The
game started at 9:30. and was fast and
j furious throughout. Button's boys did J
1 not show tip to usual good advantage,
j and in explanation thereof Tub states !
j that lie is saving up for the series,
j Racey Donnelly's boys showed up well, j
i but he says "That is noting ter what
'they kiu do when they get started)
good.’’ With as much room for im
provement as tite captain claims, the
series will bo a peach,
j Tite Stiletto team is fortunate in
| having for its center an animated jump- )
ling-jack—he strikes the ball on the |
I ascent each time, opposing center no)
chance. It is interesting to note that
tite centers of each team tip the scales |
to at least 200 pounds each, and when
standing at center awaiting toss of ball
by referee, the comparison is some
thing on which we do not care to make i
detailed comment. We would suggest,
however, that the professor get a step
j ladder.
j It is rumored the next game will be
j for real blood, on which account our
regular reporter has asked to be ex
cused, and our special war correspon
dent will be assigned to the task of tak
ing notes. He will be specially dressed
for the occasion, and will carry enough
rnalted-milk tablets and other rations
to enable him to survive a long siege.
An armed guard will accompany him
if necessary.

CKBURN
After liis conviction for assault
upon Janies Fullerton at Dikeman
some weeks ago, Robert Cockburn
filed a charge against Fullerton of
selling liquor to an Indian named
Charley. It appears the only wit
ness is the native alleged to have
been supplied with the liquor; but
when questioned about it Charley
denied the allegation.
Under the circumstances the
Commissioner did feel justified
in proceeding with the case, and
Cockburn has been advised by let
ler that if he desires to press the
complaint he must put up bonds to
indemnify the government in case
ihe charge is not substantiated.
