Generous Paystreak Opened
 on No. } Thanksgiving Creek

It has often been said that mining is an uncertain vocation, and that gold is where you find it. The truth of these two propositions is generally recognized. It is indeed rare that mining is uncer- tain when the claim worked contains a paystreak, This, however, is the ex- perience of R. H., Wright on his claim 3 Thanksgiving last winter.
 With one of the most complete steam plants in the district Wright took out a large dump that barely broke even. As soon as he got to that time of the year when the lengthening days permitted greater rapidity of work, glacier in the drift met bedrock and the pay was cut off so effectually that the concensus of opinion was that the limit of the pay had been found.
 This year, within one hundred feet above where the pay cut off with MT. Wright, the latter's laymen, Scribner, Hall & Henderson have bedrocked three shafts, and each shaft cuts paystreak 6-feet thick, of unknown width, but of known richness. The laymen are we'll satisfied and will take out many thou sands this season. Wright is also we'll pleased, but is at loss to account for afflictions of last winter and believes his luck has turned.

Making Bread From Reindeer
 Moss is Practiced in Norway
From the Nome Nugget.

From the Nome Nugget
 One of The Nuggets Scandinavian friends recently received paper from the old country in which was the fol- lowing item, which will be of interest to local readers:
 '.Dr. Hansteen, professor at the Nor wegian high school, has discovered process to make bread from the tundra moss. It will thus be comparatively easy to exist in the severe Arctic cli- mate.
 Through careful investigation of the tundra moss in Osterdatem, Norway, Dr. Hansteen claims to have solved the problem of transforming moss into food. From one species of moss he makes flour; from another kind, vege- tables and higher grade of breadstuffs. The moss bread is of very good taste and highly nutritious. No expensive machinery is required to transform the mosses into breadstuffs, and the re- planting of tundra moss is exceedingly easy.
 Hundreds of people are now en- ployed in harvesting the tundra moss in the northern part of Norway. At pre- sent the price is 15 ore per kilogram, women and children especially making good wages
 Lieut.. Burlington and his construction party have the line between Rampant and Tanana completed to Clark's camp six miles below the rapids.
 Egan Bros. & Nelson are going to drift in the deep ground on discovery Thanksgiving this winter. This is one of the richest claims on the creek.
 Lieut.. Hemphill, signal officer. is ex- pected up from Ft. Gibbon on a tour of inspection over the new land lines. He will return to the Post via Baker and the Panama.
 Ole Thronson came in from Slate last Thursday to locate generous portion oI his winters outfit. He found that the freighter had left it somewhere in the Pioneer country. Thronson will work on 10a this winter. The prevail ing warm weather has delayed him.

sweeping, loose teagown is with us in
full state this winter.
For those that do not like to appear
even about the house in a loose dress,
the serviceable eiderdown wrapper will
do we'll enough-one need not waste on
solitude the elaborate teagown. These
eiderdownS are warm and soft and, COM
ing in so many shades, are attractive for
bedroom use. This season we find these
robes ornamented trifie, having sepa-
rate lace gimps, having trimming as well
as binding of silk braid. having pagoda
sleeves, fanciful girdles.
Other serviceable lounging robes are
of cashmere, albatros, and French fan
mel. If the latter, they are made decid-
eddy plain, but care should be taken to
have a graceful cut. More fancifully
constructed are the thinner woods, and
the shops show albatros models that are
exquisitely pretty-and very generally
becoming. For these as well as for the
silk ones, the approved style is the &C
Gordon plated. giving long straight
lines and yet the voluminous suggestive
of luxury. They are lace trimmed and
beribboned, according to the taste of the
wearer; good taste, and, as it happens,
style, requires that the lace be real. One
need have only a small quantity on to
give the filmy touch desired, but that
small quantity should be good.
One sees at the stores deal of cheap
magnificence in the ready-to-wear house
gowns, and for that reason it is advisa-
BILE to have the garn ents made. The cost
need not be any more; and one will be
able to employ fine, endurable material,
and also have opportunity to give an In
dividual air to the costume. But take
care not to be too individual, for that way
lies failure often; striver after the pic
turesque not infrequently attaining &C.
centricity rather ttan beauty, and not
arriving at style at all. Be sure to Sc
lect a good pattern before sacrificing
cloth. And, by the way, an id.sal
cloth for the house gown is challis. 1t
allows Of much shirring and fussins, is
very pretty, and will wash like hald-
kerchief. One of the prettiest teagowns
shown at certain exclusive shop Was

little heap of cherry stones. The WIS.,

she pointed to the brooch she wore-a
brooch of gold and brilliants, with the
cherry stone set in the center.
