INJURED AT THE FIRE
Bob Parltin Breaks Ono Rib and
 Fractures Two Others.

Bob Parkin, one of Skagway's energetic aud brave volunteer fire fighters, lies in his bed in his room in the rear of the Hook & Ladder Companv's truck house, suffering SC yere pain from injuries received while on duty at the scene of Mondav's.fre at Main street and Eighth avenue. He fell on ragged stump, and sustained break of one rib and the fracture of two others.
 The injury occurred Monday afternoon. Parkin had been detailed bv Assistant Lowe to watch the smOuIdering ruins, and see that no sparks blew away and caught in surrounding buildings and to keep the debris from getting afame.
 Quite a little blaze started among the ruins late in the evening, and Parl<in got two buckets of water to throw on the fire. While he was approaching the blaze his feet slipped on the icy ground, and he fell heavily on his right side against stump. He was unable to arise, and man nearby went to his assistance. lt happened that another man was hitching team to wagon across the street, and the rig was secured and the injured man taken to his home.
 Dr. Searl was summoned, and set the ribs, and P1rkln is getting along nicely. tie may be able to get out of bed in d week, but 1t may be two months before he will be in condition for work.
 Parkin has been in Skagway more than two years. He is painter by trade, but has been working at Camp for the rail- road of late.

Mics.

At the end of the day of the 10th, tn horse with which they started gave out, and two horse rig was used from there on. It will be noticed that the first day with the fresh team showed much great CT distance travelled, the increase being from Al I-z to Go miles. The rig secured at LaBarge was hired from Bracket and Diekey.
 The last dav's travel, of @ miles, was made in eleven hours. Bennett was reached at 4 p. m, February IS. The next day the train was taken for Skagway, and the military party landed in this citv at Io:3o in the evening. A few minutes later they were aboard the fast steamer Humboldt, and shtrtlv after midnight off for the Sound as fast as steam could carry them.
 Capt. Gardner. who has been attached to the Yukon field force, is of middle age, but Col Rourl<e. who has been retired from the army for some time. bears streaks of silver in his hair, Notwithstanding the Colonel's advance In years he is hardy. and was as full of fire and as active upon arrival Tn Skagwav as any member of the party. The other two members of the party are Joek Brothers and Mt. Tobin, a royal military academy cadet. Every man of the party, like thoee of other big parties tn have gone out of the Yukon basin for the African war. are splendid specimens of manhood, the majority of them being six feet or thereabouts In height.
 The trip of Captain Gardner and party, while not the fastest made over the route Is considered notable as demonstrative as to what can be done in winter travel in the land that only a few wears ago was looked upon as a terror to a man, but which men now becoming innured to the north consider almost as void of menace as the northern states of the Unlou. The fastest individual trip out over the ice was made bv Captain Cartwright, of the Northwest Mounted Police, who arrived Sunday morning on his way to British Columbia to join the Strathcona Horse for Africa, and who made the run from Daw- son to Bennett, with relays of dog teams, in seven days. He travelled day and night. The United States mail and the Canadian ma;l come out In seven days. They hurry forward diy and night with relavs of dog teams the greater part of the distance from Dawson, and the remainder of the distance with relavs of horse teams, and are kept moving day and night.

below low water mark the richest sand: will be fround. Therefore as soon as thu Ice Is solidlv frozen to the bottom of thu shore they will begin prospecting and their work will be watched with much interest lnasmueh as lt will tend to solve 2 much vexed question as to the origin Of the gold in the Nome beach sands.
 Prospecting in the tundra warrants the belief that It Is impregnated with gold in much the same manner as the beach. Tundra prospecting has not as yet been carried on extensively, owing to the diff eulty of sinking to bedrock without being swamped by water. The ground Is found frozen an unknown depth just the same as in the Klondlke, ana fl t should prove rich an area of country will be developed that will be greater than a score of Klon' dlkes rolled into one. From what has all ready been done, lt Is reasonable to predict that most of the tundra will prove very rich. Big prospects have been found in dozens of places right at the grass roots, but the weather has not vet been cold enough to enable the cleaning up of the bed rock. Work in progress will demon strate the value ofihe tundra.
 Many man are engaged in ro>klhg and taking out dumps for the spring. Jack Underwood and James Freeman are taking out a dump six miles west of Nome. which Underwood estimates will average twenty eight cents to the pan, Numbers are pre- pairing to prospect the beach between here and Penny river and to take out dumps dJring the winter,
 Contrary to the general opinion, lt l: believed the beach can be worked the greater part of the winter without burning The woik will be slow, but the quality of the dlrt, lt Is thought, will enable fail wages to be made.
 Some Of the finds on the Nome beach have been phenomenal. Nuggets W orth a: high as s36 have been found, while those worth from ST to $ each have been conn mon. Men who could not make at least sz5 a day, counted the ground poor. and sio day was not considered worth vast ing time on. As much as s7oo day to the man was taken out, and not few in' stances are reported where two men rocked out 5000 in ten hours.

 The latest news Is that the beach near Nome Is not as promising as 1t has been stated to be, but that the prospects from streams were mors encouraging. Below and to the southeast of Nome was a great rush. In the Bonanza district, drained bv Bonanza, Eldorldo and Solo. mon rivers snd tributaries, good reports had come to Nome concerning a big strike in coarse gold, which has caused a large stampede.

Captain Gardner and Ills Party Ar rived Just in Time to Catch the Steamer Humboldt.

There Is a tlnge of Arctic frontier TO. nance in the race of Bhtish>Yukoners passing through Skagway to go to the front to fight Boers. and some of them are making splendid time, thus demonstrating possibilities in far northern travel.
 A fast trip from Dlwson to Bennett was made by Capt Gardner and party, who arrived in Skagwav late night before last, on their way to South Africa. They made the run in nine days. The men were anxious to get through to the coast to take the first available steamer for the south, so they might hurry on to Ottawa 10 join a contingent for the Transyaal, and they spared no effort to push on for the mark with all possible speed.
 The party came from Dawson ie La Barge on a sled drawn by oie horse. At that point the horse gave out, and It was necessary 10 secure another rig to come on to Bennett. Although the one-horse rig that was left at LaBarge was under con- tract to go through to Bennett, and each member of the party upon starting on the journey had paid s2oo for through trans. portatIon. no parlev was made over hav- inc to abandon the vehicle and paving an additional sum for the use of tie second. It was their one desire to get through and that regardless of expense.
 Notwithstanding the fact they had paid for passage through by sled, they walked much of the distance, leaving the horse free to travel easier with nothing but the baggage and perhaps one to two men to draw. Besides the men for Africa was the owner of the horse, who accompanied them as driver.
 As the animal trotted over the frozen river bed or along the trails that cover the cut offs, the army men took turns jogging or sprin,ing along behind, in that way keeping warm as well as Tightening the burden for the horse.
 The distance made each day furnishes an interesting record of what may be ae- complished in fast trayelIng on the Upper Yukon winter trail, and Is as follows:

A certain woman, says the Wichi-
to Eagle, desired the arrest of the
saloon keeper who had been selling
whisky to her drunken husband Hav-
ing conducted the officer to the saloon,
she was told by him to pick out the
proprietor. Seven men, all looking
alike and dressed alike, were stand
ing motionless around whisky
barrel, and she could not tell
which was the one, but she stepped
to the barrel and turned the spigot
and the liquor began to pour out on
the floor. One of the men sprang out
of the circle and turned the spigot Off
ARREST that man" she said.
But was she right? Was it more
likely to be the proprietor who world
thus plead guilty and go to Jail or some
innocent man with an unquenchable
thirst who was horrifed at seeing the
awful waste?
