On Monday afternoon J. Van Iderstine, J. Stuart, P. Reyes and Billy Beaton returned from the Nizina country, where they had gone in the early winter to prospect some claims purchased by them. They cross-cut and sunk holes on most of the claims and are evidently well pleased as they will immed- lately outfit and return. They had a good trip each way, and report glare ice on the Nizina, Chittyna and Copper rivers. Going in they crossed Marshall pass and down the Tasnuna, but returned by way of Tonsina.

MOOSE HAIL f|Q[
ROOF AND CEILING ARE DE-
 STROYED.
ffeAppdatDA ANQiyht
But Department Needs Better Or. ganization. Hal1 Wlll
 be Rebuilt.

Last Monday evening . fire oc- cured in Moose hall which com- pletely destroyed the roof and ceil- ing. The side walls are somewhat charred but the floor is nearly as good as ever. The fire was caused by q stove-pipe settling down and leaving an opening of als,ut two inches between the roof and ceiling. Some of the members entered the place Monday evening and started d fire in the stove and . few min- utes later the rafters were discoy- cred to be ablaze. After futile attempt to extinguish the fire with buckets of water, an alarm wns telephoned to the power-louse and the siren whistle was blown. In q very short time a crowd gathered. Some moved out the furnishings of the hall, including the mouse head and piano, while others devoted their attention to the fire. Babcock extinguishers were brought into use and would have been effective could they have been secured in time.
 After long delay the fire pump and hose was brought upon the scene but the town we'll could not be found and the apparatus had to be taken around to the bridge on Third street, where the creek was open. In short time the many men at the pump handles sent on q stream that was we'll handled by those at the nozzle, and then it was only matter of . few minutes until the fire was cxtinguishexl. The good effects of the fire appar- atus and the inefhciency of the de- partment were hoth clearly demon strated on this occasion, and it will probably take two or three serious fires in town to arouse the inhabitants to a sense of their duty towards establishing a proper VOL unteer force to keep themselves protected.
 The man who was employed to care for the fire engine could not be found until after the fire was extinguished. The engine room, which he is paid to attend to, had several feet of snow driited in front of the door. But for the delay in getting the engine to the hall and in hunting for the we'll, the fire could have been extin- guished before any great damage was done.
 Immediate steps will be taken to restore the hall to its original con- ditiOn.
 The report that the Sacred Moose was burned in the fire Monday night is unfounded. Several Of the boys blindfolded Him before the fire got under headway and got Him out of the hack door before anyone could get sight of the sacred animal.

Deafness cannc, be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con.
dition Of the mucous lining OF the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing. and when It is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to Its
normal condition, hearing will be de.
stroyed forever. Nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is
nothing but an iniiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.

Poor Mans Chance.

II Is being said In many Eastern
journals and not few Western ones
that the day OF the poor man In min
ing Is gone by; that no one but big
corporation can succeed In mining any
more; that II takes big capital to do
anything; that most OF the good min.
ing propositions are controlled by
trusts or millionalres and that there
is no longer opportunity for a man
with little money. This is all mis-.
take. The day of tho poor" mining
man was never brighter nor greater
than right now.
The assertion that most OF the good
mines are owned by trusts or million.
aires Is heard most often, but there Is
least In that OF any Of the pessimistic
utterances, One hears OF the big mil.
llonaire owners more than he does OF
the thousands uf substantial com.
panics that go right on with little
notorlely, paying good wages and
monthly yielding dividends.
Finally, It may be justly said In an.
swer to the assertion that opportunity
no longer exists for the man with a
little money. that never In the worlds
history were there Guer opportunities
In mining for tho man with little
money than In tho west half OF Amer.
