AT WORK
Two Thousand PrOspsctors
 Searching for Gold

''There are 2,OOO prOspectors search ing the valleys and hills of Central Ala ka, within l50 miles from Fair banks, and digging holes in creek bot toms, that have not produced anything more valuable than good indications, looking for gold" said Fred West, of Fairbanks, yesterday.
 Continued Mir. West:
 "Mueh of the work these prospessors are doing is on creeks that often have been partly prOspected and on which gold has been found for many years The trouble in the past has been that DO oue has been able to get sufficient grub out on ,hese creeks to last until bedrock coulG be found.
 "There is DO reason to doubt that many of thesS creeks will become great producers. On some of them it might require much pro pecting to locate the pay str, ak, but the development of the Panama valley Is nowsosdvAneed and she population there so large that 1t Is safe to say that 1t Is only 8 question of time when all the pay stresks on all the creeks ID the country Will be located.
 "The development of any mining country is slow up to A certain point Alter that point is reached and the peo- ,la ,s, psar tbe Oold country with large socks ot goods all the pay dirt will be found. It took four years to demonstrate that Clrsry and Fairbanks creeks are rich That was because it was SO difficult to get supplies to them. It will rot take that long to find out what is in the other creeks"

COMING SLOW
Tsx Money Not Rolling in
 Fast

Notwithstanding that the people have but eight more business days in which to ray their taxes b fore they shall be- come delinquent, the money is not roll ing into the city treasury faster than It can be cared for by City Treasurer H. H, Draper. Taxpayers are slower in squaring their accounts with the mu- nicipality this year than they were last,
 Taxes become delinquent March l, therefore February 2S will be the last day upon which taxes can be paid and the 20 per cent. penalty for delinquency avoided. h addition to this penalty, interest at the rate of eight per cent. will be charged from and after March 1.
 It is believed money will come in faster next week, and in all probability the two days of week after next in which taxes can be paid before delin- quencY the taxpayers will not permit Mir. Draper to suffer from enui.
