KOYUKUK STAMPEDE
Men Who arc Going From Dawson
 to the New DiEgings.

Word that Charles B, Sperry, formerly of Skagway. and party Cf several other men lett Dawson veSterday for the kOy- uI<uk diggings, was received here during the dav h a telegram that came to Phil AbrahamS, but some tune ago he received a letter from Mr. Sperv In which it was stated Koyuluk was attracting attention.
 This news ln regard to the Sperrv party starting for Kovukuk. and that of several days ago that was brought to Dawson from Circle bv Jack Bourne to the effect that the people of Circle were stampeting for Koyukuk. Is looked upon as evidence that the camp must be proving exception ally good. The fact In particular that stampedIng for the dlEEings has extended so far as DawSon Is considered an espee' lally suspicious circumstance.
 The Kovukuk Is reached from Dawson only by a tramp of many hundreds of miles down the Yukon and then over divide to the headwaters of the stream. The Koyukuk mines are probably geo toa 1000 miles from Dawson.

Armorv hall had all and more than It could do last night to accommodate the host of friends that gathered there to be entertained by SkagwaY's bright boys and sweet girls of the public schools. The big hall was SO crowded the doors had to be closed to stop the InpOurng.
 The efforts of the little folks were so successful that the raiters, pillars and studdlng of the building vibrated from the force O! the applause.
 The affair proved all it was intended to be, an entertainment. and some of the work of the children raised the enthusiasm of the audience to feverIsh demonstration of appreciation.
 Fifty of the I6o children of the public schools participated in the work on the platform, and the others were there to laud their mates. Prof. Gwin, Mrs. Miles, Miss Webster and Miss Clavson, the teachers, are to be credited with dhll Ing and training the children to the sue- cesSful eonSurpmatlon.
 When all but the last number of the program had been giveu, the school board, feeling that tlle children had been so sue cessful In school and ln the entertainment and that the teachers had been so greatly instrumental In the success, through Judge Wlleoxen as spokesman, announced from the platform that |: would give a grand free pie nle to the schools at the beginning of vacation, June I.. This made the youngsters bappY..
 Then was given the most highly ap- plauded and the closing number, namely cake walk, on which TreYa and Marguer- lte Doyle. Magic Lupton and Leila Moore, and Ollie and Helen Agee, appeared as cake walk artists. Had there been enough cakes, all would have taken one, but there was only one cake so lt was given to the Agee sisters, and the house clapped It's approval. Some of the little girls were attlred as boys. Mss clavson and Miss Webster drilled the cake walkers. The judges were Mesdames Hlghley and Snvd- CT and Messrs. BOscOw, Lilly and Fried> enthsl.
 Miss Clayson's girls gave a beautiful ribbon drill. appearing in graceful poses and marches and wearing red, white and blue streamers. Mrs. Webster's children gave unique night cap drill. Mrs. Miles pupils sang Sleep, Baby Sleep" Reelta' tlons were given by Amy Kay, Mark watrous, Ida Dillon. Amy Barr, George Anderson, Doris Martens, Frank Jaequot,

LABOR IN DAWSON.
Demand For Cleanup and For the
 Bench Claims.

There are no Idle men in Dawson, and wages are from eighty cents to a dollar an hour, or four to five dollars a day with board. This statemen, Is made by T. G. Wilson, a Dawson trading man who has just arrived frtm the Klondlke. He says further:
 "Now that the wash-up season Is open ing In the Klendlke all men available are wanted. The owners want to wash their dun ps as fast as possible and to finish the work before the water becomes low. While snow Is melting the water Is plen- tiful.
 "Men engaged in the mines who intend to 20 to Nome will not likely get away before the elean>up Is completed, because they are held bv contract to finish the sea son. and the employers can withhold thelr pay until the cleanup Is made.
 "l think that KlOndlke should be a good place to seek labor this summer. Many will go to Nome, leaving vacancies for others"

deep along this portion of the line that
no trains haYe moved over it since the
beginning of the storm. Shovel plows
and large rotary snow plow have been
kept at work. endeaveripg to keep the
line open, but the snow would drift
fast as it was cleared away. A fierce
wind is still blowing and the air is full of
snow.
The Kansas City, Pueblo Rock Island
train is tied up at Falcon, and caa not be
moved. This train was tied up at 10
O'Clock Sunday and is still unable to be
moved The Denver portion of the train,
was one hour late into Topeka yesterday
afternoon The Denver train and the
train for Colorado Springs generally meet
at LimOn and come to Mcfarland to-
gether where it doubles with the Fort
Worth train
Several times in cases of emergencies.
the train from Colorado Springs would
run over The Denver & Rio Grande track
between Colorado Springs and Denver,
and join the Denver train at Denver in
stead of Limon. This can not be done as
the Denver & Rio Grande train is tied up
and the road blockaded.
The Santa Fe road also reports heavy
