BURGUflS IRE ACTIVE
IN FAIRBANKS TOWN
The first burglary reported in Fair
banks for many months occured ear
ly Wednesday morning. The grocery
store of L. E. Thompson, on Cush
man street, near Fourth, was enter
ed at an early hour, and the con
tents of the cash drawer, about $40
was taken, says the News-Miner.
Entrance to the building was ob
tained through a skylight. The dis
covery was made the following morn
ing. There are no clues as to the
identity of the criminal.
Another attempted burglary was
averted at an early hour yesterday

Pinska store and the Red Cross
store. This was immediately followec
by footsteps on the roof of the Pin
ska building, following which i
slight jar was heard by Mr. Hunter
who immediately came t3 the conclu
sion that an attempt was being mad(
to enter one of the two buildings
He stepped to the telephone, locatec
in the store, and as he was about tc
call for the police, a slight noise at
the skylight, in the wall of the build
ing, attracted his attention. A man
was attempting to enter, his head
and one of his arms being in sight,
Mr. Hunter seized a heavy steplad
der and struck the intruder, who at
once withdrew. By the time Mr.
Hunter was able to get out to the
rear of the building, the burglar had
disappeared, leaving no trace as to
his identity.
The icy and dangerous condition
of the roads in Fairbanks and vicinity
due to unusual weather conditions,
has been the cause of a number of
automobile accidents within the past
few days. The car of Toby Erick
son skidded and overturned on Clery
hill. One of the occupants of the
car was severely injured, necessi
tating removal to #the hospital. Cars
of Mr. Jones and Ralph Bigney col
lided on the Chatanika road, with
slight injuries to the occupants. On
the Fairbanks bridge, the cars of
Jimmy Moore and Earl Borland met
in collision, resulting in very con
siderable damage to the cars.
Until the first of this month the
Xuka bay district was devoid of rain,
which hindered, to some extent, the
development work of a few of the
quartz operators. However, begin
ning on the night of October 23, a
heavy rain fell and has continued
to date, recent arrivals in town say.

From The Gateway Files of

EDITOR GATEWAY:
One week ago I went to my placer
claim on a creek three miles south
of town for the purpose of fixing up
the camp and washing out a few pans
of gravel from the bottom of the
creek.
After reaching there, I took three
pans of gravel from the creek bottom
and obtained an average of 25 cents
from each pan. With a flume, from
$25 to $30 per day to the man could
be cleaned up at this rate.
We call this stream Tansina creek.
WThile walking along it at the time
mentioned I saw a yellow spot on the
bed rock; I picked it up and found
it was a gold nuggett, Its value proved
to be $1.33, and I am now wearing it
as a watch charm.
We intend to put in a flume there
next summer and work at sluicing the
creek bottom during the season. We
will require plenty of lumber for this
work.
