MORE DOG FOR ALASKA
Used as Means of Transportation
to the Gold Gold Diggings.
FOND HOPES CHERISHED
Messrs. Hatfield and Conway Figure on
Making Money on the Klondyke
and Their Efforts Will Be
Watched by Many.

Great Falls, Jan. 4.-During last Aug
ust Dave Hatfield, one OF the oldest
and best known gamblers in this part
of the state sold his home on the south
side, and with the proceeds started to
make his fortune in Alaska. From
here he went to Rossland, b. C., and
there entered into a scheme that looks
as If ii might prove to be profitable. His
partner in the enterprise is Michael
Conway, who was also at one time a
resident of this city Dave at the pres
ent time is at SellSirk, wnere he is
buying number of dogs with which
to freight goods from Skaguay to Daw-
son, and in a letter to his partner. he
writes that he was unable to obtain the
number" of dogs that he wanted in Win
nipeg, so he went to Selkrk. There he
saw some CANNES that are known as
"huskies.' These are fine, large ami
mails, that stand from two and one
half feet high, and are cross between
the large domestic dog and the wolf.
Mr. Hatfield saw a team of four OF
these hybrids that are able to haul 800
pounds of freight 40 miles in a day
over the snow and through rough
country. 1t is the intention of Mr. Hat
field to go to Arnold, Hudson bay
post, 100 miles north of Selkirk, where
there are plenty of these dogs There
he hopes to purchase 80 OF them. They
will be taken to Ska quay, where they
will be attached to sleighS found boz
Dawson. On arrival they will be
sent back to the coast in charge OF
some one for second lot of produce
and supplies. Neither gentlemen will
return with them on the second jour
ney.
When the dogs return the second time
from Dawson there will be sufficient
quantity of supplies to keep Mr.. Hat
field for a long time. In the meantime
Messrs. Conway and Hatfield will Sc
cure options and purchase as many
mining claims as possible. When this
is done Mr.. Conway will return to civ.
iIization and seek a market for the
properties he has purchased on bonded
leaving Mr.. Hatfield in charge at Daw-
son. The idea of getting the dogs ant
making the journey this winter is t.
be on the ground early and thus avoit
the rush that is sure to ensue as 500
as the streams and lakes leading K
the klondyke are open to navigation.

Great Falls, Jan. 4.-Several cases
were disposed of in the district court
this morning either by dismissal on set
Element or for lack OF prosecution.
Among the latter WAS that of SigVort
Mass against Sam Herskovitz and the
Standard Publishing company, an ac-
ton for libel. The case grew out of
trouble between Mass and Herskovitz
who, at that time, about three years
ago, was engaged in the pawn and jew
elry business. He employed Mass as
watch repairer and, difficulty arising.
Mass was discharged. Herskovitz adj
vertised Mass. Among other advertis-
ing mediums employed, the Standard
was one. The case has dragged along
since that time without any action.

gentine situation and before the decline
brought in buyers enough to stop il the
price of May was 1l2G90asc. The early
news was not particularly influential
either way. Liverpool was quoted lad
lower ut the start indicating less weak
ness than was prevailing here. Paris was
also said To be somewhat lower but the
weakest feature of the first batch Of the
kilograms was not what New York had 10
say about the selling by foreigners.
The continent was selling, they said
and buying orders from France said To
have already limited to a price below the
market were reported cancelled this
morning. Then II was said the foreign
selling and French cancellations were be-
cause of heavy offerings of Argentine
wheat for early shipment. The continent
tai cables came very weak in tone and
closing quotations showed the following
declines at Paris and Antwerp PARIS,

ferring on the Purchase Proposition.
Great Falls Jan 4.-The special COM
mittee on the subject OF the purchase
Of the water works is working slowly
and carefully. Since the council referred
the proposition made by the water COM
pany to it, a little over . week ago, it
las held several meetings, and is likely
to hold several more. While the de-
tails of the meetings are not published,
IL is known that the committee Will re-
fuse to entertain the proposition and will
inform the company that II il desires to
do anything further before the city
starts upon the erection OF an independ-
ent plant it must make an offer which
will not require a Philadelphia lawyer
TO figure out. othe rWise no account will
be taken OF its offer. 1t is reported on
the outside that the offer, when reduced
TO concrete terms, amounts to $3.50 900,
or 500, 0G0 less than it was offered to the
city three years ago. In view of the
fact that since the first offer d large
amount of costly machinery has been
added to the plant, the reduction in the
price asked has created much surprise
in this city. 1t is not known what the
object or the causes of the reduction
may be.

there seems to be no clue TO his where

shooting Belt people claim that he re-

not reported. He is a man who is easily
distinguished because of peculiar physi-

miles down the Benton road. IT is al

a horse he was to do so and divide the
proceeds. The partner sold horse the
other day to a boy living on the south

$36. Yesterday Hubbard, for some rea-

Result of a Contract Involving Valuable
Coal Lands.

Coal
Great Falls, Jan. 4.-Ole Ruikka of
Sand Coulee. this morning brought suit
in the district court against Nels Maik-
XII to recover $40. 900 alleged to be due on
a contract. From the complaint it is
learned that Nels had a coal land claim
not far from Sand Coulee on which
there was a contest. John Whittle and
Charles Hoeffer had jumped it and Nels
hadn't the money wherewith to fight the
contest. He therupon made an agree
ment with Ole Ruikka that il the latter
would put up the money for the ex-
penses he might have half the value of
The claim in cash if the contest proved
successful Ole put up something more
than $1,000. and when on October last
Nels routed Whittle and Hoeffer Ole
naturally expected that Nels would
come TO the front. This. so the COM
plant says Nels failed 10 do. The
plaintiff alleges that the coal claim is
reasonably or otherwise worth see 000,
and he wishes half of that sum.
