THE TUbUK TOL|k ConflictingReports From
 That Section. cAMP CREEK GOOD Good Prospects Are Alleged to
 Have Been Found on
 Several Claims.
CAMP CREEK GOOD

Mike Dowd, recorder for Norton bay district, writes Manager Xipi, of the x. C. Co.,, under date of Dec ,, that no de- velopment work had been done on the Tubuktolik creeks since last August On Camp creek. however, men were building cabins and getting in supplies, but nothing more than prospects had been found.
 Mir. Ilpf also says that the men who came to Chinill from the Tubuktolik for supplies. paid for them in checbah o money. and not in golddust, as inadvel- : tently stated in these columns
 George H. Webber has received q letter from Ed Lambert. whom he slaked last summer. to the effect that Camp creek is good. Lambert located four claims on the creek. Just prior to the close of navigation Mr. Webber sent John $. Fraser down to the Tubuk- tOlik to assist Lambert. They sank four holes and found pay in each. The work of sinking. however, was greatly retarded on account of water.
 A letter received by THE NUGGET from Boulder creek. on the Tubuktulik, states that probably 40 or go men arc winterin. on that river and it's tribu- taries, but little prospecting had been done, nor had any big prospects been found. With the beginning of January, however, it was expected that prospect ing would begin in earnest, and good results were anticipated on Camp, Boulder and other creeks.

on time or late in all stations having
telegraph Offices. When the bill re
lating to appropriations BY county
boards for the erection of soldiers
and sailors monuments came up for
third reading, Senator Hatten observ-
eG that the referendum clause of the
statutes in this regard was omitted
~ the bill and asked for an explana-
ton. Senator Burns chairman, said
that the committee had determined
that when county boards were patri-
oiic enough TO appropriate money for
these purposes il was unnecessary
and undesirable that the county
should be put to the expense of hold
ing a ratification election. Again the
Wisconsin assembly negatives the
proposition to vote a bOnus to beet
sugar factories, even though it be
merely in the nature Of exempting
their property from taxation. Two
years ago the question was decided
adversely and today the vote on il
was sc to 81. Only two democrats
voted for the bill-Arneman of Nee
nah and Martin of Green Bay. The
measure was introduced by Mr..
Ainsworth of Waukesha county.
Those voting for it were: Messrs.
AInsworth, Armenian, Barker, Bart
lett, Bradford, Carpenter, Cosgrove,
Douglas, Dudgeon, Finnegan, Gilman,

ems, Strong, farrell, Thiessenhusen,

various amendments to the automo,
bile bill, but Mr.. Cady expressed the
conviction that the bill, instead OF
regulating motors, really exempted
them from all local regulations after
they had been given certificates by
the secretary of state at S. each. On
Mr. Roots motion the measure was
referred to the judiciary committee
The following house bills were
passed: Gilman's, requiring railroad
corporations and corporations operat-
ing street railroads to report acct
dents; and Douglas, requiring that
western horses coming into the state
must bear a certificate of freedom
from infectious ills. The following
bills were killed: Kehrein's, to en-.
courage the acquisition of homes by
persons of moderate means, by ex-
empting them from taxation; Rupp's,
requiring county boards to furnish of
fees for district attorneys, and Rupp's
for the punishment of paupers for

Madison, Feb. 27.-The bill provio-
ing for the examination and licensing
of stationary engineers, which has
been killed at several sessions, was
reported for indefinite postponement
by the committee on state affairs, as
vas also the bill providing for the bet
-er protection of lives on vessels. The
bill repeating the law requiring can
didates to file statements Of their cleo.
ton expenses wes on the calendar
for indefinite postponement. Mr.
Benson moved that it be ordered to
third reading instead, but was ruled
out of order. He made a brief speech
FOR the bill. On the question of kill
ing the bill to repeal the law the ayes
and noes were called. and the as
sembly refused 90 TO 81 to indefinitely
postpone. The bill was then referred
TO the judiciary committee by a vote
of q 10 40. The following bills were
passed: requiring three weeks notice
of special town meetings and author
izing cities CT the third class to Dor
row 100000 annually for school pur-
poses. They are now limited 10 S20.-
900. The following bills were killed:
reducing sheriff's fee for conveying
prisoners. providing for the punish
ment of any public official soliciting
a bride and providing a $4,000 con
tingenJ fund TO guard against cOnta-
gious diseases. A resolution was in
troduced instructing the tax commits
sion to acertain whether north Wis
consin corporations were paying as
high taxes relatively as those OF the
southern part of the state. The ma
iCrity of the committee on privileges
and elections presented 4 report on
the Merton primary bin in the senate.
The report stated that the majority
of the committee favored the passage
of the bin with slight amendment rel
ative to publication Of notices in not
less than two and not more than two
newspapers for three weeks previous
to the primary. Senators Whitehead
and Morse dissent from the report.
The committee was unanimous in ask
ing that the bill be placed on the cal
endar for next Wednesday morning.
It is understood at this time Senator
Whitehead will move that action be
laid over until March 25th, the same
day as the senatorial resolutions come
up for consideration. The Merton
bill is like the one the governor ia
vors. except it calls for a state con-
vention to frame a platform.
