not care to live if she became the wife
of another. Relatives of the young
woman then endeavored to persuade

SERIOUS SHORTAGE
Of SUPPLIES
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

TACOMA, Dec. 5.-A special from
Dawson says that the Mayo and Dun
can districts are without butter, cream,
milk, candles or kerosene. Informal
ton to this effect is brought by Tom
Hinton, mining recorder for the dis
tricts. who has arrived at Dawson.
The cost of freighting from Dawson
to Mayo is 10 to IL cents a pound, and
from Mayo to Duncan is cents addi-
tional.
Alex Patterson, one OF the men who
came to Dawson on the Cudahy, the
last boat of the season from the
lower river. said that Fort Yukon
at the time the Cudahy passed there
had in the aggregate no more than
twenty five tons of supplies. At Circle.
he said. the N. c. and the N. A. T. and
T. companies were short, and an indie
pendent trader there had thirty five
to forty tons more of supplies than
both big company stores.
With this shortage of supplies at the
points named, the only safe thing for
any one rlushing into the Chandelar
country this winter is to take supplies.

MINING MAKES COP
THEATER ANGEL
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

= MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Dec. 5.-From
policeman to angel" via the lucky
mining speculation medium, is the
metamorphosis wrought on Frank v.
Nevileir. Until recently Nevileir billy
in hand, patrolled his beat on the West
Side in the vicinity of Twenty-third
street and Grand avenue, like any
other officer of the department.
Today, pencil In hand, he figures a
lot of mathematical problems to find
out just how much money he has. He
could revel in easy luxury for the rest
of his life If he wanted to. But Nevileir
is too strenuous for that. Besides he
is an ardent patron of the theater, and
he thinks the money that was easy
earned in mining speculation can swell
into much larger amount when it is
invested in theatrical enterprises.
Ever since they were married, eight
years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Nevileir-
for the wife is the husbands assistant
and advocate in all his enterprises
have never been without a few mining
deals on their hands. The latest deal
cleared $4,000 at Goldfeld, and Ne
vileir quit the force.
