Men TO Crawl Into Holes

TN the fifteen or twenty which make up the
i average crew, YOU can generally find two or
three little men; Tor there are tight places IN
wreck where they can do considerable
work in proppng up or loOSenIng I part,
crawling into holes which no one else could
reach. The boss wreCker tries TO get two or
three left handlers also, as their services are
valuable in hammering away IN corners where
right handed man would be useless. Some
of the best wreCkIng crews IN the country in
clude a number of sailors The half bitches
and other knots that only the seaInen can make
are OF great service IN securely fastening lines

locomotive used in pulling it away. The old

combination OF puleyS will give, for they have

they very strong and WHY Consequently,
a man of this kind who Is out of a lob at
any time can frequently go with the wreck
ing crew.
Their Limited is not much for looks. Like
the men, 1t Is also rough and ready Down bv
the division round house repair shop it
stands on a siding where it can take the line
at minutes notice. There is nothing unusual
in its appearance except the crane car. which
carries the heavy artillery of this little army
OF rescue Two or three flat cars, a box car or
so, and at the end passenger coach or cabOOse,
make up the tram, but every article IL carries
from the extra truck wheels to the coupling
pins, has been loaded with such care that every
man knows where to put his hands on what he
wants. Usually the running gear gets the
worst of it in a wreck. SO one of the flat cars
contains extra trucks and wheels to be sub
stitutcd for the broken ones. Next TO this car
is placed the big steel crane, which yanks
masses OF wood and metal about as though
they weighed pounds instead of tons, and is
capable of lifting fftyton engine.
Enter the box car. and you see miniature
lumber yard-square pieces of timber all the
way from an inch TO foot through. They are
wanted for prOpplng up the wreCkage, which
may be holding down the living as we'll as the
dead. These props may aid in saving life, but
they also are handy to hold up coaches when
the crew are putting wheels or other parts in
place. In one corner are coils of rope an inch
or more thick. Boxes OF bolts and nuts and
screws lay side by side on the floor. On the
walls hang hooks, puleys, saws, axes. Heavy
steel crowbars are piled in another corner In
short this is repair shop and storehouse on
wheels.

CIRCLE DISTRICT
 IS GOING AHEAD

Cecil Woods, the Northern Conner cial man now on his way to open a post in the Chandlar, while in Rampant a few days ago said he left Circle with the prospects looking brighter than for a number of years.
 The winter work on Mastodon ,reek, especially, has been unprecedented. So far as he had heard, every one of the big dumps on the creek showed values that were satisfactory to their owners.
 Eddy Levin, with interests on Harri- son creek, has lately arrived from out side. Billy Leak is in, looking after his interests on Mammoth. Two Guggen- helm representatives have also arrived.
 Sam Sanderson, who formerly repre- sented the Berry's on Eagle creek, has taken an option on Pat Lynch's Harri- son creek property.

TO TRY TO COMMUNICATE
 WITH INHABITANTS OF MARS

Chicago, May s.-A party of noted astronomers and scientists are en route to South America, where they will ascend one of the high peaks of the Andes, probably Mount Chimborazo, for the purpose of taking observations and photographs of the planet Mars. During the summer that planet will be closer to the earth than at any time within fifty years past or to come.
 They hope to discover the cause for what appear to be eonals, observed on the surface of Mars, and will also make an attempt to communicate by signals with any intelligent beings that may in- habit that planet.

 Temporary quarters and warehouses of canvas will be erected, and perma- nent buildings for the post constructed later.
 Mr. Wood ventured no opinion as to the size of the Chandlar cleanup this season. When told, however, that the Dawson News had quoted Mir. Turner as placing the estimate as high as $l5O, 900, he said that with production far under that figure the showing of the camp might still be considered very good.
 At Dawson MT. Turner said: "Prices in the Chandlar after We establish our summer service should be no higher than on the Koyukuk, which means about 10 per cent. higher than at Fort Yukon or other Yukon river stations"

CAUSTEN V.
 BARNETTE

According to special dispatches in the Fairbanks Times, Causten, who claims to have grubstaked Captain Barnette, gained victory in the court at Seattle
 The court finds that Causten is enti- tied to third interest in all property, real and mineral, acquired by Barnette from the time of the original venture in 1901 to the date of the final accounting, which has not yet been made. Caus- tens attorneys were applying for final accounting from Barnette. It is under stood the order sought will probably include all of Barnette's real and per sonal property and mining interests. The result of the application will be to show, on the part of Causten, that all the claims staked by Barnette by virtue of powers of attorney do not belodg to those in whose names they were staked, but really beloug to Barnette.

 The trim little craft departed with between sixty and seventy tons.
 MT. Wood had dropped down to Rampant on the Lavelle Young and remained here since last Thursday.
 The site of the new post will be de- termined by the conditions encountered by the Koyukuk on the Chandlar. Mir.
