"Haskwa! I wish I were crab
apple tree.'
And crabapple tree, with deep
roots, be became at once.
This was a pretty tough proposition
for Red Feather. He pulled and he
pulled and he pulled. Finally the tree
held by one root only. Then the
little sister, who had been watching,
got hatchet and climbed up into the
branches. .-- -,
AS soon as Red Feather grabbed
a limb and began to pull, the girl
chopped the limb off. This tired Red
Feath all out, and when she saw
he was becoming weak the girl got
piece of rawhide and, throwing it over
the feather, bound it to the tree.
Red Feather begged to be released
and promised that he would grant
anything the girl asked if she. would
unite him. 80 ..-- --..-
She made him promise to release all
the Gunwa people whom he held in
captivity in the mountain and change
her brothers back into their original
form, after which she let him 60.
Red Feather did as he agreed-the
people came back to the village, the
boys became alive again in their orig
inal shape, and there was great re-
joicing in the village. -.%s-
The boy who had been smart enough
to change himself into a crabappie
tree was made chief, and the girl,
when she grew up, was married to
powerful chief of the neighboring town.
AS for the magician, small red
feather can sometimes be seen floating
in the air over some Alaskan village,
but if it comes near crabapple tree
it whirls about in evident fear and is
blown rapidly away toward the distant
mountain. r---. ..----.- ~--

just able seize his leg he moved upward But the
second boy found that he too was being drawn upward
fered similar fate; and until there whole
string Of boys in the air, all calling for help.
The and women and girls of the town rushed out
in great excitement and each in turn tried to pull down
the string of boys and each in turn lifted from
the ground until the whole population hanging there
in long, waving line, unable to let 60 and unable to
pull the string back to earth. " -.& -. -
Then Red Feather few away with them to his
tain home and made them his slaves. -.
Now the daughter of the chief of the Gunwa people
recently married young and gone to live at
his house The morning after Red Feather
carried off the villagers the chiefs daughter and her
husband arrived at the intending to make visit
father They surprised to find the village
deserted but thought that perhaps the people had all
gone fishing picnic somewhere in the woods
So they made themselves at home the chefs house
and waited for their return.
t.They will be home at night said the chiefs daugh
ter when night settled down the lonely Arctic
Shores people back with talk and laughter to the
deserted village Day after day they waited wondering
what become of the inhabitants of the town, the
chiefs daughter mourning for her father and her rea
tives.
There good houses and stores of food in the vii
age and so the couple settled there and the years
passed until they had ten chdren-nne boys and one
girl.
One day little wrnkled old beggar to
the village and asked for food When the woman had
given it to him, he said:
ssYou are a chiefs daughter and have magic am
seaotter changed into what you see by the arts OF
Red Feather the black magician It Red Feather
who carried away your people and still holds them IN
And then he told her all that had taken place.
tNow'' continued he ttwaye your hands three times
over me and say sHaskwa.' Then shall be changed
after your Children let them say Haskwa and they
will be changed into anything they wish and 50 escape
him. -
The chiefs daughter did as the old beggar told
her and in a twinklng he was changed into black
smooth sea-otter and went sliding and running back %
the water. 5ss

~HE children of the town of Gunwa were out in the

not really feather at ALL but wicked magician
who lived in neighboring mountain and had grudge
against the village people because they used go hunt

this day. when he thought that all the people of Gnwa
in the village he changed himself into red feather
with the intention of capturing the whole lot Of them
and taking them away into the mountain his slaves
The boys, of course, did not know this, and of
them reached up and grabbed the red feather crying
'tSee what nice red feather I have' T.. !
But his glee changed to terror for the feather

let go of it he could not do t--' ~. j.

 "Sincc my arrival in town,' he con. tinucd. "I have purchased n new whim, besides lot of other supplies, and we intend io push the shaft to n depth of 800 feet before any extensive lateral work is started. The pay streak in the bottom of the shaft at its present depth is & feet in width, an average sample of which gives returns of $l0.- 70 per ton in gold, besides gold and sil. yer values.
 "Thc tunnel on the old Kcntuck mine is now into the mountain along the vein a distance of 25O feet. We arc now running crosscut from a point near the face of the tunnel to tap another vein which it is expected will bc reached in n very short time. The orc body in the face of the tunnel is four feet in thickness, of an average value of $I5 to the ton in gold. In the Bonnie Bell tunnel, which is now in distance of 25O feet, there is an orc body exposed averaging two feet in thickness, which samples $l5 to tho ton. There is now on the dump at the mouth of this tunnel over 200 tons of this class of ore.

WATER WAS SHORT FOR
 \ FEW HOURS
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

Much apprehension was felt among tho residents of the eastern portion of the city on Friday last when it was learned that the indicator on the reser. voir rested at zero, and it was found that no water could be had in any of the mains.
 An investigation of the matter show cd that the new reservoir contained about four feet of water, which was being held in reserve for fire purposes, and that man was there on duty to turn the water into the mains in case of fire breaking out in any part of the city.
 The cause of the old reservoir being empty was later learned to be due to the fact that the Willow crock auxili1 ary station was struck by lightning, and that section of one of the coils was blown out of the motor, putting i'd out of commission.
 Tho pump at the Granite creek staI ton was later brought into play on the main line, and the work of pump ing resumed from Del Rio.
 The repairs of the Willow creek sta tion will be finished in a few days.
 The Willow creek and Granite creek stations are now so arranged that when one is disablcd or shut down for re- pairs the other csn be used.
