NEWS NOTES
While engaged working on the new
R. R. spur today Sam GassotT got his
hand under another man’s axe and the
part of the hand that joins the right
thumb to the first finger was chopped
clean through as though cut by a
scissors. He is in the hospital under
the care of l)r. Sloan. The cut is al
most in the very same part of the
hand as the cut which Al Peel is suf- j
fering from.
The pup belonging to Mayor Myers
stole three pairs of mukluks from the;
Miner’s store this morning and his
honor paid $5 damages. He also
bought a drink, but one should not
say this, perhaps, in a town which
holds so many sanctified folks who
show such horror of dissolute
wretches. Well, anyhow, the pup got
down to business fine and cached each
pair singly in the alley before re
turning for more boot —y. Several
jokes in this paragraph.
In one of its issues the Seattle
Times says that if Frank Rotch was
running for election in Alaska he
would surely win. and it quotes what
the Gateway says about the popular
steamship man.

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 2.—It is report
ed that Morrison £ Johnson,^drifting
on number (» below, Cleary, struck pay
on the claim which W. C. “Swiftwater
Bill’ Gates made a fortme* They
have struck six feet of gravel that
will run in the neighoborhood of $5
to the square foot of bedrck.
Gates is a well known character of
the north, for he made his reputation
in the early days of Dawson where he
was one of the first to get back to
Seattle wth a fortune from the Klon
dike. In the states he became fam
ous as the much married man where
he was a close rival to Nat Good
win, the actor.
Gates came to Fairbanks in the
early days after the many wives had
taken away most of his Klondike gold.
It was then that he made the strike
on Cleary. The amount that he took
out has nevet been certainly ascer
tained. but it was close to the million
mark according to some old timers.
anil at least two or three hundred
thousand by the conservative sour
doughs.
The latest reports from the outside
bring the rews that Cates «s now
operating in Peru and that he has
not yet tost his desire for new wives.
Cates is said to own considerable
property in California.—
The second hand store owned by S.
Stalinsky, has moved from Broadway
to 5th, next to the Fairbanks hotel,
opposite A. B. hall.
El). MATHEWS* DEATH
RECALLS EARLY TRAGEDY
- «
FAIRBANKS.—The recent death of
Ed. C. Mathews, also well know St to
many Alaskans as Ed. C. Russell,
brings to mind an early day tragedy
ot the Nizina country, of which Rus
sell was a pioneer. Russell, as he was
best known, was an early day ro
dent of Valdez, where he worked as a
musician in the dance halls. I ater
he came to Fairbanks, where he play
ed piano for a number of years, leav
ing here about 11>11.
Russell it was who was given an
interest in the Niggerhead associa
tion claim at the houth of Dome creek
in exchange for an old coat and place
to sleep in a cabin for a few nights,
the story having come out several
years ago in litigation over the Nig
gerhcad claims, which later became
valuable. It was after that that
Russell went outside and became in
terested in Georgia land, returning
here as agent of the Gcorgia-Morida
Land company and establishing an
office. There are numerous 1'air
banksans who will remember him well
for that reason alone. 11 is death also
recalls the story.
A year or so after going Outside
Russell went insane. He was confin
ed in a sanitarium near San Diego.
California, where he died a short time
ago. It is stated, however, in a com*
munication received by a Valdez man,
according to the Cordova Times, that
Russell became perfectly sane just
prior to nis demise.—Ex.

MANY BOYS OF THE
DAWSON POLICE AT FRONT |
DAWSON, Oct. 6.—It is calculated
by some of the members of the Koyal j
Northwest Mounted Police force now
here that fully eight men of that,
famous force who formerly were sta
tioned at Dawson are now with the
colors at the front or en route there.
The latest recruits to the cause here,
include Tom Greenaway, who was j
corporal in the police and is now act
ing sergeant-major of the company;
John Turnbull, K. Marshall, H. For
ester and H. Oldhan,
Sev4hd of the former members oi
the foYce were among the first to fall.
Charley Phillips was the first Yu
koner known to have been killed in
the war. He was shot in the Fast j
African campaign, while serving with j
the same company as Andy Hart,
Dawson’s lire chief, who is still there,
acting asescout at last accounts.
“Ginger” Stewart, who was killed
in France, also was a member of the
force in Yukon, and was stationed at
the time in Whitehorse. Later he liv
ed in Dawson and enlisted while here.
The first bunch of the police boys
to get away for the front were Walter
Greenaway, Dick Dooley, Harry Har
vey, Frank Hull and Harry King, all
of whom have seen much hard fight
ing.
The following is a partial list of
the former police boys formerly at
Dawson who have gone to the front
