Men From Chandlar.

Att o'clock last Thursday morning Louis Seyler, Herman Rosburg and Charles Fornander arrived at Rampant, only four days and a half from Caro. It is their opinion that in a comparatively low stage of water a boat of the koyu for more than 20 miles, in medium wa ter it could get to the Indian village, and in high water it could reach the mouth of East Fork, 26 miles below Caro. It could not get to Caro under any circum- stance.
 The men were pretty well over the district, and on the whole they consider the outlook favorable. Nine outfits will sluice on upper Big creek; five on Little Squaw; two on Big Squaw; two on Little Mcclellan, and few others may shovel in from the surface gravel in va rious places-which will bring the num- Der of outfits who take out gold up to total of, say, 20. It is not believed the estimate of $500 for the seasons out put, said to have been made by Howard Turner, is excessive.
 However, the men say the best ground so far found-that high up toward the heads of the creeks-will be dependent on rain for water to sluice with.
 It has been demonstrated that the few small boilers now in the country are inadequate to the work of prospecting the deep ground. Before the lower parts of numerous creeks are ever tested heavier machinery will have to be put in.
 On their rounds the men encountered many whipsawing gangs. There will be no shortage of lumber, but in most eases 1t will have to be carried long distances

STRIKE IS IN EARNEST
No Indications of Settlement of the Mining
 Troubles in the Panama.

From all accounts there appears to be no hope of a settlement of the miners strike in the Panama country The op- orators express a determination not to recognize the union or to accede to the eight-hour demand By them, the wage rate is considered of little moment.
 Eight hours and the union are the two things the miners are determined upon. To them, also, the wage is a secondary matter.
 Miners coming through Rampant only laugh at the suggestion of going to work on the operators terms. They are re- sourceful lot of men, these miners of the north, and can almost live off the natural resources of the country If necessary, they say, they can go out side and earn grubstake on which to return and prospect for themselves.

 On account of Snyder being an official he was asked to explain his attack upon the governor. and his answer was not satisfactory, it being neither an apology nor an explanation. Judge Gunnison, who Is in Fairbanks, then directed Judge Wiekersham to remove him.

Juneau, May 20.-Judge Wickersham today removed United States Commis- sioner A. V. k. Snyder, of Wrangell, from office, under cable instructions from Judge Gunnison.

 Captain C. K. Smith, of the mail launch Carrier, has partner who came out of the country recently with $26 in dust banned from the creeks, and he thinks well of the district. The ground is said to be shallow.
Yukon Valley news., 1907-05-29

Passengers from Fairbanks on the Se- attle No. 3 Sunday and on the Cudahy yesterday said between 800 and 600 people have left the Panama for the Innoko since the opening of navigation. The most of them have gone more on account of the state of affairs existing in the Panama district than from any encouraging reports of important finds on the Innoko. Coarse gold prospects have been found on the Innoko, and the accessibility of the country appeals to those who will not work in the Panama

The Seattle No. 8, which passed down early Friday morning, reported that Howard Turner, assistant auditor of the Northern Commercial Company, was a passenger from Dawson to Fort Yukon. At the latter place Mir. Turner trans ferred to the steamer Koyukuk in order to accompany the plucky little swift water craft on its initial trip up the Chandlar and select the site for the company's new trading post in that district.
 It was not stated when the Koyukuk would proceed from Fort Yukon, but it is known that Captain Haines did not intend to wait for exceptionally high water in the Chandlar. He wished to make the trip as nearly as possible under normal conditions of early season navi- gation.

The effect of the strike will be disas- trous to the operators and to people in all kinds of business-to everybody, in fact, with the possible exception of the lawyers and others who live directly and indirectly from actions at court.
 It is stated in the Weekly News of May 24 that the union has declared boycott on the Fairbanks Times.
 The strike is very orderly, and there is no sign of weakening on either side, except that the miners have intimated that they might accept $5 day if their other contentious were granted.
 Letters from Fairbanks, as well as people talked with, say many are leav- ing. Everything indicates that but few will come in from the outside.
 The steamer City of Seattle, sailing from Seattle May IS, the first boat to offer through tickets, had not to exceed half dozen passengers for Fairbanks.

 Just before the breakup seven or eight parties were building boats at polling outfits up the Middle Fork Jack Coleman was one of them who is well known in Rampant, and Ruby Creek Daly was another. In hole on Dicta- tor creek, d tributary of Middle Fork, bottom was reached at l04 feet and good prospects found, one piece weighing 50 cents. The bedrock was pitching down at sharp angle and it was be- lieved only the rim had been struck. Agitator, another tributary, has also shown prospects that help to strengthen confidence in Middle Fork creeks.
 Caro is described as an ideal townsite. Its location is central with regard to the different creeks. There are about twenty cabins in the place-all good, substan- tial structures built with view to per manency. Commissioner Marsh has a new and connections recorders office and courtroom. Mrs. Peterson, former ly of Dawson, lately of Fairbanks, has just opened new roadhouse. It has no bar, nor is there any other place where liquor is sold.

The boat Topped over on Seyler and held him firmly to the bottom of the creek, until finally the willows gave way. Then Seyler was rolled along underneath the boat into deep water, where he driited free. It was found when he got out that he had taken a lot of water, had been badly bruised, had had his clothing torn near ly from his body, and was nearly "all i'm" A few days before the party had broken through the ice and lost sled, a small outfit and dog; but it was the experience under the boat that made louie's courage forsakc him.

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT
Work Begins on New Round House, Coal
Sheds, Machine Shops and
Tum-TabIe

The ground was broken Monday
morning for the new steel tum-table
which will be erected on the site of the
old one. The old table was 90 feet
long and the new one will be 90.
The longer one was made necessary by
the adoption OF the extremely large
mountain engines which are now in
use on the Cascade division OF the
Great Northern. The new round
house, on the site of the old one, will
be wooden structure large enough to
accommodate fifteen engines. The old
building will be entirely remodeled.
The stalls for the engines will be made
much longer. The machine shop will
also be considerably enlarged. A new
coal shute will be built, designed after
the one in use at Hillyard, and will be
located 200 yards west of where the
old coal sheds burned.
In addition to this track scale will
also be put in, a convenience they
have never had at this place. An Office
building will also be erected for the
convenience OF the yard master.
Thus is the matter of the division
point remaining here settled for all
time. We have always felt confident
that this would be the final outcome of
all the talk that has been made on this
subject. Now that this factor need no
longer enter into calculations as to the
future, those who have contemplated
building can 60 ahead feeling assured
of the stability Of the town.

FRIDAY. APRIL 20, 1907.
We Are Judged by Our Appearance.

The town of Cashmere now has a
well organized efficient fire department.
Would that as much could be said for
this town, but
Cashmere also has a live, active
commercial club, with membership
of over a hundred. 1t meets at least
twice each month and is well attended.
Great interest is taken in all matters
that pertain to the welfare of the town
and its future growth. Oh that we
might say the same OF our town, but
Cashmere has its principal streets
graded and has nearly four miles of
sidewalks, 1t would give US pleasure to
say the same OF Leavenworth, but
Now Cashmere is only half as large
as our town, yet land in the vicinity OF
Cashmere will sell for three times per
acre what land equally as productive
will sell for near this town. Why is
this SO? Here is the answer. When
prospectors and homeseekers get off
at Cashmere there is such abundant
evidence of prosperity on every hand
that they quite naturally reach the con-
clusion that these people are prosper
making money, or they could not
pay for all the Improvements they have

Automobile Speed.

T notice much said in the press about the speed of automobiles said a chauf- feur, and I wish to call attention to another side of the question.
 "Of course I know that eight miles an hour is fast enough for safety, as l am constantly exposed to the danger of over speed, but 1 wish to call attention to the negligence of men, women and children in failing to avoid danger by placing themselves before machines when the signal Is sounded. an worst of all the work of fiends and of children in placing glass bottles and broken glass in the way of cars in order to do harm to property and endanger passengers.
 T want the police force of Birming- ham to be at least equally as alert in de- tecting this dangerous infringement of public rights as it is in detecting over speed on the part of automobilists. That s all. Lets find out who is most to blame. and if there is violation of law let 1t rest upon all sides, especially those who are negligent, careless and inclined to real nenious crimesn
