Fairbanks News Items

The following items are culled from
 Fairbanks Sunday Times of Oct 30
 hich was received in yesterdays mail.
 The banks of the city will hereafter close at o'clock.
 A crosscut 260 feet wide has been made on Nos. and below on Esther by the Berry Bros, who own the claims and good pay found through the cut.
 Ed Bartlett and Fred Hadley have formed partnership in the stage bus mess and will run daily service in connection with the railroad from Gil- more to Cleary and Fairbanks creeks.
 Report comes from No. 4a on Dome creek that rich pay has been struck. The richest pay is found on the second tier of the right limit of the claim and if reports prove true Dome will prove very healthy competitor to Cleary. Hundreds of tons of freight for mer- .ants are side tracked in Dawson. Of this freight the greater portion should have reached here weeks before the close of navigation. Merchants are re- fusing to pay drafts for goods not re- ceived, in the hope that outside whole salers will sue transportation men.

Nothing Definite Regarding
 Kantishna and Novi Strikes
Special Tanana Correspondent


 The townspeople here have raised $500 to cut trail into the Kantishna. There is no news yet from the strikes at either Kantishna or Novi. George Carl left here on the last water for the latter place and should get back at any time now. Sam Sutherland and White Dog" Smith left here a few days ago to locate the new trail.
 Bill Bybee and Geo. Tiffany are in on the ground floor in the Kantishna. Bly, bee expects to leave here about March to open his ground up for summer. Things are very quiet locally. One of Joe Anicich's pet dogs tried to eat off leg belonging to Sam Wilcox few days ago. Most of the civilians en- ployed at the Post have been laid off. There is one man here that is on the water wagon all the time. His name is Tom Torbert and he delivers warm water every morning.
 Posters are out announcing a great show on Friday evening, December P, by the Fort Gibbon Comedy Company, at the Post Hall. There is some good talent at the Post and the show will be we'll patronized. SCRAPS.

general II rained hard in Albuquer-
que last night. in Santa Fe and over

Trinidad and points farther north

month. with the exception Of some
local thunder showers. there had been
no rain in New Mexico The crops
were suffering. the water for irriga-
tion was getting low and the ranges
were drying up. Conditions were not
at all bad. but the rain came just in
time to prevent injury.
In and about Las Vegas the rain has
been Just of the kind that will do the
most good. 1t has been of the gentle
persistent, soaking variety that does
not run off in flood. but sinks into
the soil. Almost all last night II
rained and not for moment today
has it ceased. though at no time has
the rain been hard.
