CREEK
 BOTTOM IS RICH
First Prospect on the Bed
 Exceeds Expectations.
RAILRAOD IS PROMISED
Three Concerns Said 10 wSnt to BuIId Up the Dalton TraIi- winter Service.

Thomas A. Marquam, a Haines miner and attorney who was in the city vester- dav. reports that the first prospect of a creek bed in the Porcuplne district was re- tently made bv the aid of steam pump, and that the results were far better than was expected. There has long been a doubt as 10 whether the creek bottom ear- ried gold, but this experiment, he says, has proven that 1t Is rich in the precious metal, and that the hopes for the camp have taken new lustre.
 The hole was sunk on No. below, on what Is known as the Sam Lucas property. Biglow and MeKlnnon of Juneau. are in terested in the property. Another man who has an interest in 1t, and who was In Skagway yesterday, couotorated the re- port of the rich find, but neither he nor Mr. Marquam were prepared to yet give any specific information as to general re- suits. Mr. Marquam says that with the use of fumes the creek beds can hereafter be worked
 The water has reeeded during the winter and left a part of what Is actually the creek bed during the summer uncovered, and 1t Is part of this uncovered strip in which the hole has been sunk. Water seaplng in from the stream had to be pumped out, and in this work steam pumps were used.
 "Three railroads" says Mir. Marquam, "have acquired charters to run either from Halnes or Pyramid up the route of the Dalt,n trail trail to the Porcuplne and the Rainy Hollow mining regions, and possi- bly further toward the interior" He says further
 "One charter Is held by Dalton and Bratnober, another by Ames, of Boston, and a third by others whom ] do not know. feel confident that one oi the three concerns will build. Surveys fOl roads have been made from Halnes thrtugh to Selkirk. They follow the Dalton trlil right through.

MIR. SontaR, Solo1st.

MI. SOOO18S oOAOASO
In the last number of Harlequin
Stede Bonnet pays the following
compliment to Mr.. Sonrag, the
cornetist:
Mr.. Florent Sontag, the cornetist, was .
conspicuous part of Band-master Paoletti's
very tasteful and entertaining musical pro-
grammes on Sunday and Tuesday evenings
last, rendering solos. Harlequin has pre-
dicted brilliant future for this cornetist,
and these first essays before New Orleans
audience as a sololst seem to have convinced
the iudicious of the solid foudation for this
phophesy. MIR. Sontag pharses with exquis-
tive taste. His tone is as sweet as the
caress of a mother-voice. There is none of
the hashy display of the Levi method in his
work, but there is music-music which
would be much in place and as beautiful
in the solitude of deep woods or by the side
of the sea, before great audience. The
thought is suggested by a story once heard
related about Levi. This technical master
of the instrument was once telliaG4 musician
of his greatness when the other 10lked him,
elbow do you think, sire, your cornet would
sound in the quiet of the woods where the
birds are making their music?''
The thought of the connection between
nature and music was possibly lost on Levi,
but it. comes back to one as he listens to
Sontag. He will figure among the great
cornetists, or mistake me much.

Crossing on Second Street.

Superintendent Owens appeared
before the Council last Monday
evening to confer with that body in
regard to the opening of a crossing
on Second street. Mr.. Owens is
naturally opposed to the opening Of
a new crossing, but he has expressed
a willingness to agree to it, provided
the railroad company is permitted
to build switch along Grant ave-
nue.. 1t appears that this switch
would greatly facilitate the unload
ing of freight and many of the local
merchants are in favor of it for that
reason. A committee, composed
of Messrs. Hohorst, Girard and c.
o. Mouton, was, appointed to meet
Mr.. Owens and TO visit the grounds
and report to the Council at its
next meeting upon the ACCESSIBILITY
or inavisability of allowing the rail-
road company to build a switch on
Grant avenue. We understand the
committee is of the opinion that
Mr.. Owens request can be COM
piled with witho ut incommoding the
public. Although it would seem
that the railroad company can be
compelled to give the crossing with
out any concession on the part of
the town it is best that the question
should be settled in Il manner that
will prove satisfactory to both sides.
The Gazette was shown the pic
ture of the carriage which was
awarded the first prize at the flower
show of the State Fair recently held
in New Orleans. This beautiful
specimen of floral decoration was
the handiwork of the Mount Carmel
Orphan Asylum of which Sister An
gelica is the mother superior. SIS
ter Angelica, who is the daughter of
our townsman, Mr.. A. T. Callouet,
has been highly complimented by
the New Orleans press for this
splendid contribution to the flower
show of the State Fair. The picture
of the carriage, which no doubt pre-
sents but an imperfect reproduction
of the work, is an evidence of the
industry and good taste of Sister
Angelica. The prize awarded by
the Fair Association was $1,000.

Florence winged ITS flight TO the
Eternal Realms of Day where the

suffering.
As we take . Retrospective view
Of the beautiful lite of this beloved
g,rl and realize that she is no more,
the very chords of our hearts are
rent and bleeding.
Gentle was she and pure, the
very embodiment Of all that was
guileless and chaste, a girl whose
noble strength of character, inter-
mingled with a winning tenderness,
endeared her to all with-whom she
came in contact.
For long weary months she lay
languishing upon bed of affection,
her delicate frame tortured with
cruel suffering. vet not one murmur
or complaint did she utter but with
the wonderful strength and fortitude
so characteristic of her, patiently
endured every pain until like a
fragile white lily she dropped and
faded and died.

dear Florence, to thy life of suffer

to part with thee, yet we bow in
meek submission, and through a
binding mist of tears, see thee with
thy dear head pillowed on thy Mas
ter's bosom, resting, sweetly rest
ing.
ssAh! now farewell thou sweet and gentle
maid,
Beside thy hallowed grave oft shall
mourn;
And plant a willow where thy form is laid.
And then with flowers the weeping tree
adorn.
Oft shall we sing thy melancholy tale,
When all the shades of evening steal around !;
And oft assemble by the moonlight pale.
To lnger near the consecrated ground.
And 0 if spirits e'er on earth descend,
To hover Ger some chosen followed spot;
Around thy tomb shall airy bands attend,
And humble villagers shall weep thy lot.
All! fair departed maid thy placid mind
Was calm in sorrow and to Heaven resigned

Joe Buchanan Dead.

A month or more ago Joe Buck
AMMAN, a plasterer who has been
about Great Bend for somethink like
year, Was thrown from a wagon,
while drunk, and sustained injuries
that kept him unconscious for q week
or more. He finally was taken to poor
farm to be cared for. Last week he
left the poor farm and came to town,
saying be was all right. and wanted
to hunt some work. He vas about
town all week, sleeping in the city
calaboose at night. Friday afternoon
he was sick, having frequent chills
and vomiting spells. About o'clock
he was taken, on instructions from
the Marshal and Sheriff, to the city
Jail, and a fire built for him. the
marshal notified the doctor that Buck
AMMAN was sick. It was the understand
ing that if B. was able to be moved
he was to be taken back to the poor
farm. Nothing was done with him
that evening. however. Saturday
morning Grandville Erwin and
Undersherif johnson went into the
room to see how he was. He appear
ed to be asleep, aud johnson pulled
the bed clothing up over him In
the afternoon Erwin asked the Mar
shal how joe was getting along,
which was the first knowledge the
marshal had that the man had not
been sent ont to the pDor farm. Going
over to the jail about 4 p. m Satur,
day he found the m IN dead Coroner
Koch was sent for, and impaneled q
coronefs jury. The above facts were
brought out at the inquest. The
verdict of the jury was that Buck :
AMMAN came to his death from 9
congestive chill, brought on by
dissipation and exposure The doctors
think he probably died early Friday
night.
