said OF any piece OF HARNESS.
Better save the horse than to try to

THREE ROUND TRIPS
By Way of Cook Inlet Will Be Made During the Winter rlOnths-C Con. tractor Hendricks Says the Yukon Service Will Be Satisfactory.

The mail service between Nome and Tanana, at least, promises to be con ducted in satisfactory manner the coming winter. This is, the statement made by N. V. Hendricks, of Hen dricks X Belt, who have the. contract from the Canadian Development Com pany for the transportation of mails during the winter season between Nome and Tanand.
 Mr. Hendricks was in Nome this week, having come down from bis trading post at Panama, He says that the delay in receiving mail in Nome Alb-cOntractOr of the Nome U nalaklik route ''felI down." hence it was neces- sary for Postmaster Wright, of Nome, to step in and forward the mail by special carriers.
 Next W nter no sub-cOntract will be let, as Hendricks X Belt will attend to it themselves. c. c. Belt will arrive in Nome in a few weeks and will make the necessary arrangements for relay stations between Nome and Unalaklik. The Nome division will be under the personal supervision of Mr. Belt, who will have his headquarters on the coast during the winter, probably in Nome,
 Mir. Hendricks has been on the Yukon since 1899, He has a trading post at Tanana and will shortly estab- fish two more on the river, one about 80 miles up that stream and the other 300 miller up the river, at Baker creek, where diggings have been found. He says that. while nothing rich has been found in that section, ground has been developed which yields pay. The Koyukuk, too, promises to develop into a good mining country. Mr. Hen- 1ricks was one of the original dis coverers Of Tramway bar, and in 1893 he and his partner took out consider able money at that place. Gordon Bettles, a well-known old timer of the Yukon, is still at Tramway bar and he is said to be in fair way to at least make fortune.
 Mir. Hendricks left yesterday for St. Michael, en route to the Tanana. Inspector John P. Clum left yester- day on the Dora for Chinik and Council City. A weekly mail service will prol- ably be established between Nome and those points, and new postmasters will also be appointed at Chinik and Coun- cil City.
 An office will also be established at Mary's Igloo, with Miss,Joanna Brown as pOstmistress, and another at Re- corder Thompson's station at Schis- maretf inlet. These points will prob ably receive fortnightly mail via Nome and Teller.
 | The postotfice department has called | for bids for three round trips for carry l ing mail between Nome and Katmai this winter. The starting pOint'on the North Pacific coast will be at Katmai, on Cook inlet.

AND RICH GROUND
IIs Again Beipg Found on Several Claims Where First Prospecting Was Not Encouraging-rlany Peo- pie in the BluestOne Country.

Now thatthe snow and ice are dis appearing from creeks and gulches sandsactive work is under way, the re- ports that are coming in are of the most encouraging kind. Besides, much quiet, work is being done and has been done for weeks. and even months, the results of which have not come to the surface, but it is known that they have in many instances been most satisfac- tory.
 News from Gold Run has been emeager for some time, but this was towing to the fact that the lateness of the season prevented little work, and ,there was. nothing to report. During .the past week, however, several claims in the Bluestone country have been started up, and the outlook for good output of dust is most encouraging.
 W-J. Sullivan,e who is interested on Alder and other creeks in that section, .came down Wednesday. ''The Blue -stone country will come out all right by next fall," said Mir. Sullivan. "We have commenced work on No. 3, Alder, and the other day We scraped up some dirt which was frozen on bedrock last fall and in about two hours -sluicing we cleaned up nearly $500. The pay streak runs over to the left limit. On No. above on Gold Run they have 11. t. ,;ah Tho 1ni in, iS Oxynn6 Inv Key Pittman and others. On No. 3, A. .McCumber got 20 cents to the pan. On the upper end of No. $. Annie Corliss' .claim, on which Tom Dunkin has a lay, .sluicing has commenced. McCumber is opening up the lower half. On the draotion between and 4, .25 cents to the pan has been found, and it will be ,thoroughly developed. F. Weidman is opening up No. }, and is getting good prospects. On No.2, Alder, owned by M. J. Sullivan, Gus Sieffert and J. A. ,Gibson, sluicing commenced last Sun .day. The claim will give good ac- count of itself this year.
 Work is. also under way on Nos. 9 sand 10 on Gold Run, but on Il and l2 nothing as yet has been done. On a .claim just above Swanson's discovery con Gold Run good pay is said to have been found, and it is being developed.
 Good pay has also been found on Nolan creek, six miles from Boring sea, on Tishou river. Nolan, after whom the creek was named, is devel- .oping his claim, and at a depth of a foot and.a half got a number of nuggets running from 90 to so cents. Sam Dan- .nebaum has lay on this claim.
 A strike is also reported on Dees .creek, which empties into Grantley harbOr on the east side.
 MT. Sullivan also says that the quartz prospects are exceedingly encouraging. The ledge which was discovered this spring runs across the right fork of the Bluestone and Gold Run and McDame ~creeks. Assays made from the float show up well, but whether the ledge is in place or not has not been deter .mined.
 Many people are going into. the Blue sstOne country, and the camp promises ito be alright lively one this summer.

THE N. l. OIL AND DRILLING co.

On last Sunday, as prearrapged,

number the following officers: Jno.
A. Gebert, President and General
Manager; Geo. W. Dallas, Assis-
tant General Manager; Geo. M.
Robertson Vice President p. Ii.
Wlsslnger, Secretary; and w. E

The board of directors decided
to accept Mr.. Gebert's proposition,
of an option to bore for oil ant
minerals on his property situated
just below the corporate limits, be-
tween the public road and the rail-
road, on the conditions that the op.
tion shall remain In force for one

privilege of boring shall cost the
company nothing; that in the event
oil or other valuable minerals are
found in paying quantities ha will
sell the tract, embracing 10 acres,
more or less, to the company for
100000. The boring will be started
as soon as the necessary tools and
materials can be assembled upon
the site.
Mr. 0ebert was instructed and
authorized to visit Beaumont, Tex,
to arrange with and secure the ser
vices Of an expert drlller, together
with his paraphernalla. According
ly Mr.. Gebert left on the following
Tuesday on his quest. If successful
the actual work of drilling will be
lnaugurated at = very early date.
The board instructed the Score
tary to make an immediate call up
on all the subscribers for stock, fol
s5 per cent in cash of the face value
OF their subscriptions. These pay
ments may be made to MIR. Sattar

where other test wells will be sunl
as soon as the first well will hav

Beaumont OIL Analysed.

Beaumont, Tex, May 13-Seth
M. Morris, b. s., NJ. ID, professor
of chemistry and toxlcology of the
medical department of the Univer-
sity of Texas, made a chemical
analysis of the crude oil from the
well of the Higgins Oil and Fuel
Company, and the following is the
result of the ANALYSIS:
ssThe oil is of a brown color, has
a specific gravity of O,9lS, has q
temperature of so degrees Fahren-
heit, contains no water and only
trace of sediment or insOluable
material, contains sulphur com
pound, possesses an asphalt base
and burns freely. By distillatlop
the oil was found to contain: Nap
thos, light and heavy, per cent by
vol, 2. 2; burning oils, and heavy,
per cent by vol % 4; lubricating
oils, per cent by vol. 81, 0; residue,
semi solid soft asphaltum, per cent
by vol, 20 0.
'In an Elliott closed cup test the
oil flashed at a temperature OF 81
degrees Fahrenheit, and at 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit was quite liquid
and mobile. The fact that the Oil
when frozen melts at q low tenn
perature makes it one which can
be easily handled in cold climate
during most seasons of the year,
and this, in connection with the
fact that tt contains neither water
nor sentiment make it eminently
suited for fuel purposes in itscrude
state. | also think it can be re-
fined so as to yield 20 per cent of
Illuminating oil, possibly 80 per
cent or more by the process OF
cracking the vapors, and in addi-
ton to yield lublicating oils and
asphaltum. Its constitution, how
ever, shows it to be particularly
suitable for fuel purposes."--
