ANA DISTRICT
liners’ Record, dated Fairbanks, March
■klc is jmi)lisher and Wm. II. Raymond
on its former meritorious self styled the
its district well. The following items
mre nearly lit our si/e:
same group, have purchased a heavy
outfit of grub and machinery and then
lost no time in getting back to their
diggings.
F. II. Barnette, formerly connected
with the Dawson store of Sargent Ac
Pinska, left Fairbanks Thursday with a
dog team and a year’s outfit. All that
even his closest friends know is that he
started down the river. His acquaint
ances are figuring that he must have got
the inside dope on a good thing. It is
suspected that he is headed for the re
gion surrounding Holy Cross Mission,
but thus far it has been impossible to
secure any information confirming this
idea.
I'pper Home creek is apparently up
and coming fast. To add to the recent
good news from that section came the
report on Friday that llismark Ac Shy,
on a fraction on 7. have tapped a run of
pay that has made the whole creek sit
up and take notice. Rumor had it that
pans as good as $ti were taken out. but
the Record was unable to confirn the
report. Zimmerman Ac Hansley, on 6a,
now have a big hunch of good ground
ready to drop on the dump, and to hoist
it they have purchased the outfit of R.
.1. Patterson, formerly belonging to
Mlitchler Bros.
tie urge Matheson came in over the
trail last week as the advance guard of
the iteamhoat hunch headed this way.
In Seattle Mr. Matheson ran afoul of
Captain Ivpew and Johnny Trout, cap

Items of Tanana Town
(From the Citizen, Maivli 1*0.)
Mr. Manley is evidently doing a big
business with his Hot Springs saloon.
For the balance of the winter beer will
have to he hauled by sleigh from this
point.
The wagon road between here and
Baker Creek w ill commence tomatriial
ize soon after the breakup. Chas. Smith
with his teams will be engaged by the
first of June in grading the new road.
It is reported that Mr. Snopp has a 5
cent prospect out of the hole he is sink
ing back of town. Of course the usual
staking has been done, but people are
very foolish to go to the trouble of stak
ing ground not intending to prospect it.
They cannot hold it if any one wants it
and w ill go to work on it, and they only
keep out the honest prospector.
The storm which has been amusing
itself with us for two days past has
wrought great havoc. It has taken the
roof off the N. A. T. warehouse, and
pretty well demolished the canvas in
front of the N.C. Bob llerrold came in
with th.' Tanana mail on time and re
ports a hard time. When Bob says so
you may believe it was hard, for there
is no doubt about his being a mushcr.
The funeral of Mrs. Stockman, who
(lied on Saturday night, took place on
Tuesday forenoon at the new Catholic
burying ground, about a mile from town.
The Rev. Father Jette held a short serv
ice at the house and paid a strong trib
ute to the goodness of the deceased.
Nearly every one in town was at the
service and most ot the js'ople followed
to the grave. The pall bearers were
Messrs. Anicieh, Murphy, Varlam and
Vanticr.
