kL0NDIKE An Interesting Batch of
 News. The Practice of Selling Liquor on the Percentage Plan to
 Be Prohibited.

Dawson, Y. T., Sept. l9.-The United States department of mines, headquar- ters at Washington. D. C.. has written to the gold commissioner at Dawson asking for full information regarding the platinum strike made in the Stew art river district several weeks ago. Evidently much interest is centered by scientific men in new discoveries of the metal, and the ever aggressive Yankees want to be early informed as to the authenticity of the report of the strike. They ask for Il corrOboration or a de- nlal of the reported strike and also ask, that if the strike is bonatide. that de- tailed information be given.
 Freight shipments from the outside to Dawson are Sttfening of late. The White Pass is finding demand for more of it's steamers than it did few weeks ago, and more river steamers have come in the last four or five weeks than in any other part of the season. Up to the first of this month both the White Pass and the lower river companies had brought more freight to Dawson than they did last season up to the cores bonding date. One reason for the lower river people doing better in the early season this year than last is that the lower river opened earlier by far this year than last.
 The funeral knell of the practice of selling liquor on the percentage plan on licensed premises and employing women to induce or solicit others to drink, was rung in the Yukon council yesterday afternoon. An ordinance was drafted and introduced particularly to cover this practice, which has been common in the Klondike. The first attack on the percentage system was made at the last session of the Yukon council by Governor J. H. Ross, who declared the demi-monde princesSes as compared to the others.

K0UGAR0K
Mining Men Say It Is a
 Promising Section.
A Number of Kougarok Claim Owners Speak Encouraging.
 Iy of That District.

''People who are leaving thiscountry for Valdes are quitting much better section," said r. J. Smyth, 2 Kougarok miner, the other day. Mir. Smyth has been in Kougarok district since 19OO and he is satisfied that that section is promising from a mining standpoint. MT. Smyth has interests on Buzzard creek and his operations this season have been entirely satisfactory.
 "Kougarok," he said. lis not poor mans country, nevertheless it is good one. There has been little work done in that section notwithstanding the fact that it was discovered in 1899. Those who went in there in the spring of 1900 simply banned on the river bars. Here and there they sank few holes, none of them to bedrock. They had to pack willows on their backs long distances. The result was that no thorough pros pecting was done, men left disgusted, and the country was condemned. It will turn out better next year thar n this, and by the year after it will have established its reputation as a big pro- ducer."
 Mir. Smyth brought down q piece of float quartz impregnated with gold. It was picked up on a KOugarok creek, and he has spent some time in trying to find the ledge. He was not successful, but he is satisfied that one day the ledge will be located, and when found it will be rich.
 Thomas Evans is another Kougarok miner who is in town. MT. Evans is located on HOmestake creek with his partner, Robert Brown. They have done we'll. MT. Brown will work with a thawing machine on Homestake creek this winter. Mir. Evans also says that the Kougarok is promising and will give good account of itself in . year or two.
 On Dahl creek good pay has been found, not near the bed of the creek, but distance of 200 or more feet from it, on the left limit. This is where Jerry Calvin, N. r. Olson and other claim owners on the creek have found excellent pay. Tho outlook for this creek is excellent, and it is bound to be . big producer.
 Dick Hall, who has been operating on Idaho, is also firm believer in the future prosperity of that section. He thinks that at least POO men will winter in the kougarok, many of whom will devote their time to prospecting creek aud bench claims. Dick, Columbia, HOmestake and other creeks will be worked this winter. The main Kouga- rOk, he says, has shown up well for the amount of work done on it.

10 A FINISH
Lively Scrap at a Solo.
 mon ROadh0uSe.
Two Mining Men Decide With Their Fists the Ownership of
 a Defunct Ptarmigan.

The livilisst scrap of the year came off few days ago at Mitchell's road house, ct the mouth of Big Hurrah,
 Solomon river. The contestants were C. A. Shaddock, owner of No. l above On Solomon and No. on Big Hurrah, and Henry Smith, lessee of discovery
 claim, Solomon river. As scientific
 bout 1t was failure, but as an old fashioned rough-and-tumble fight it was q bowling success. A repetition of it would draw Q $5OOO house in Nome. T,he following account is furnished by an eye witness: A few days prior to this the participants had trouble over the ownership of Q dead ptarmigan.
 They met in the road house, renewed the quarrel and commenced fighting,
 when the boys present interfered and stopped the fight in the house and tOrmed ring on the river bank, cleared away the brush and sticks and turned the angry cOmbatants loose, and
 war was waged furiously from one-half to three-quarters of an hour, until both participants were thoroughly windsd and as bloody as stuck pigs, when Smith asked for five minutes rest, which was granted, Smith holding his watch in tis hand while counting the precious A "tes During this armistice Smith 1 estsd Shadd0ck not to hit him any more in the face, as he wished to go out on an early boat Shaddock replied so did he. and that Smith must apologize or take dis medicine. Smith replied, ":Never." The timekesper, perched on . wagon, called "time"-when bin! Shaddock took Smith on the shoot before he had time to put up his time piece, and caused fresh flow of claret; here they clinched, Smiths watch swinging by the chain. They finally fell, with Smith on top, but Shaddock turned him over, and Smith called out that he was breaking his watch. One of the boys volunteered to remove the watch if the scrappers would lie still, which they did until the watch was recovered. Shadd0ck retained his sd- position and pounded Smith ,unmsrcifully until he apologized, and the fight was ended. It was witnessed by twelve men and ono woman, who khave declared ShaddOck the Solomon river champion, and are now having an belt made for him.
