TACOMA. Dec. 2G.-The Yuko on
Gold company, otherwise the Guggen-
helms, is hard after gold in the Klon-
dixie district. Their winter force is
the largest ever known in the Klon-
dixie under one management. They
are making stupendous preparations
to bring next summers gold produc-
tion to the maximum. One big dredge
is completed at Ninety Below on Bo-
nanza and others on Hunker, all to
be operated by electricity. On Bo-
nanZa three great electric convey
ors are being installed. 1t is expect
ed they will permit the working Of
bedrock as we'll as the upper gravels.
A hundred teams are hauling 5000
tons of pipe line material from
Twelve Mile landing. on the Yukon
below Dawson, to points along the
route of Twelve Mile ditch. In the
spring 100000 feet of lumber will
be hauled from the company's saw
mill along the same route, an average
distance of 25 miles. To accomplish
this $40, 900 has been spent on Win
ter road, which is water sprinkled
and frozen. A great dam building on
Bonanza will supply water for cleo
trio lifts and conveyors. A power
ditch at Twelve Mile will supply wa
ter for generating electricity to op-
crate the dredges and other equip
ment.

WAS SUCCESS
IN EVERY WAY
StrOIIerS Dance Was One of Most
Brilliant Events Ii! Social His
tory of the Section.

Christmas day, while marked by a
number of brilliant events, had not
Il more fitting celebration locally than
the dance given by the Strollers' club
proved. More than 100 couples
turned out to enjoy the event and it
is extremely doubtful if there was "a
single person present who did not
have a splendid evening to repay
their attendance.
Few more beautifully decorated
halls could have been found in the
country, than that in which the gath
ering was held The members of the
club endoavored to render the in
terror of the skating rink beautiful
place and they succeeded beyond the
expectations Of even the most san
guine of their guests. In the lower
end of the hall the corners had been
set aside for special purposes, one be-
ing fitted out as a 'cozy' corner
where couches and easy chairs await
ed, inviting the tired frames of the
dancers. The other space was occu-
pied by a large and beautifully dec
GRATED Christmas tree. In front of
this stood a counter on which re-
posed a huge punch bowl frozen sol
idly into block of ice, whore dancers
could slake their thirst. Around the
walls were hung pennants of various
universities, colleges, and fraterni-
ties. Across the ceiling were draped
strings of vari-colored electric lights
which cast soft glow on the NOV
ing figures beneath. The music, fur
nished by the Ely orchestra, an
excellent local aggregation, was even
better than usual and added much 10
the pleasure of the merrymakers.
The program was carried out faith
fully in detail and every number was
an added pleasure. 1t was with en-
thusiasm, therefore that those pres
ent realized that his dance was one

WAS ORDERLY

Christmas day in this district would

the little ones were rather bored by
the sermon which their elders en-
joyed, and wanted to get home to play

together a more pleasant day in ev-

ditions and giving any visitor in the
city a view OF as civilized Christ
