Schraber left Thursday morning for Quail creek with big load of freight for Hall and others on that stream.
 Smith & Crockett left for Quail on Friday morning with all the freight they could haul for various parties on Quail and Troublesome creeks.
 Dave Rushin is employed on the road between Rampant and Quail putting in 8 few necessary bridges, and cutting out some of the bad places overlooked in the previous work.
 Sanders x Kerstan are prospecting on the benches at the mouth of Miller creek-a tributary of Troublesome.
 Jones 6, Farmer are sinking holes on the bench above the mouth of Quail.
 Watson & Johnson are sinking holes on the bench below the mouth of Quail creek.
 Buck, Poland x Olson have two holes to bedrock below the canyon, Trouble some creek, and are getting pans of 3 and 10 cents on bedrock. No drifting has been done yet. The pay seems to be on bedrock only, and has no depth to it. They killed two moose last week and have their supply of fresh meat for the winter.
 Capt. Donovan says he has three holes to bedrock, and has good pay on the Cassidy & Olson ground.
 Higgins & Erickson are sinking on the bench of Troublesome above the canyon.
 Sam Heeter was persuaded to sell some of his chickens, and quite num- ber of Ramparters took advantage of this and about twenty chicken dinners were thusly provided for Thanksgiving day.
 Mir. and Mrs. Allen entertained J. R.. Frank and Robert Graham at dinner on Thursday.
 Mrs. Swanson made great prepara- tions to feed the hungry on Thanksgiv- ing, and posted bills of fare about town to proclaim the fact.
 "Missou," of the Mirror, secured four seven-pound chickens of Sam Heeter and had a mulligan prepared for the patrons of his saloon. and the place was crowded all day and until the small hours next morning. There was no mulligan left.
 The sheet and pillowcase dance at the courthouse given by the young men of the town was largely attended, and was voted one of the most enjoyable dances ever given in Rampant. Every one had good time-the usual ''cool- ness'' at such affairs was noticeable for its absence. The sheets and pillow cases were discarded at II o'clock, and at 12 o'clock 8 fine lunch which had previously been prepared by the ladies

BonnifeId Going
 to InnokO District

Sam Bonnifield, president of the First National Bank of Fairbanks, and Tom Coffee left here Tuesday for the Innoko districs.
 MT. Bonnifeld is going into that dis tract at the request of several miners there who claim they have proposi- tion which will prove of immense value and they wish him to look into it this winter.
 Mir. Bonnifeld said he wished he could remain in this city for time as he has heard much about the district, and all the reports are favorable. He says he will probably remain few days on his return.
 Mr. Coffee is one of the lucky miners of the Innoko. Last summer he worked a lay on discovery on Gaines creek, and later bought the ground. He recently went to Fairbanks on business and re- mained there only ten days when he started on his return to his claim.
 MT. Coffee speaks well ot the lnnoko, and while he says there is nothing in the country like was claimed for it last spring, yet it will be good producer for years to come. Ophir creek, he says, alone produced about s75, ,O00 last summer, despite the lack of water and other handicaps.
 Provisions he says are again scarce in that district and been raised to pro- hibitive prices. This he claims is the greatest draw back the country has at present. Innoko City, at the mouth oi the Ditna river, has been deserted and all the former residents are now at Dis. kaket, the Indian village twenty-five miles below.

New Cabin in
 Bryan City

Frank B. Stanley is having a cabin erected on his lot at Bryan City, the new townsite on the Tanaaa river, and expects to have it finished in short time.
 Frank says he does not think the new town will ever rival this city but he will put up his cabin at any rate and be prepared to build in the spring if necessary. The structure will be built of logs and will be l2 IA on the in side.
 Quite a number of property owners at Bryan City are cutting logs and will build in the spring.

Rich Ground
 on Sullivan

On Sunday the laymen on the Mid night Sun Association on Sullivan creek broke into some of the best pay that has as yet been found on that stream. Several big pans were taken, one oi which went an ounce less couple oi pennyweights.
 This rich ground has stimulated the miners in that vicinity and all are now expecting to strike the same pay in time. The extent of this rich ground is as yet unknown but it is believed that quite large body of it will be found.

COM MUNIcATioN,

To the EditoR of the Essex County
HERALD!
The Legislature and the people now
have an official statement from the Com.
missioner of State Taxes, such rs they
ought to have had at every session since
1854, but never before have had. This
report shows that the railroads are not
paying one-half the rate OF taxation that
is assessed upon the grand list. Before
Gov. Proctor asked and obtained AL in.
crease of railroad taxation in 1905, they
paid about one. third as much as the gen.
eral public.
The Legislature now have au oppor.
tunity to carry out in All intelligent
manner the advice OF the minority of
the late tax commission, that railroads
be taxed "at the average rate levied up
ON property throughout the State. BY
doing this they will also be in line with
"Proctor's policies" and with Governor
Prouty's pre-conyention promises OF
equal taxation"
Nearly every paper in the State from
time to time bswails the condition of
"railroad ridden New Hampshire but
that State assesses railroad taxes at the
same rate that property is assessed on
the grand list.
Mr.. George w. Pierce of Brattleboro,
Master of the State Grange, was the au.
thor of the minority report referred to
above, and was joined BY Mr.. Olmstead,
Democrat from Newbury. II the
Grange and Governor Prouty together
cannot remedy this injustice, the pub.
lie may we'll despair. until they awake
and elect men to the Legislature that
cannot be bought or scared.

SHAKE IN A BOTTLE,

Now is the time when the doctors
get busy, and the patent medicine
manufacturers reap the harvest, unless
great care ia taken to dress warmly and
keep the feet dry. This is the advice OF
an old eminent authority, who says
that Rheumatism and Kidney tronbIe
weather is here, and also tells what TO
do in case of an attack.
Get from any good prescription phar.
macy one half ounce Fluid Extract la, .
delion, one ounce Compound kargou,
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarss-
parilla. Mix by shaking in bottle and
take II teasl oonfui after meals and a,
bedtime
just try this simple home made mix
ture at the first sign of Rheumatism, or
it your hack aches or you feel that the
kidneys are not acting just right. This
IA said to be asrendid kidney regulator,
and almost certain remedy for all forms
OF Rheumatism, which is caused by uric
acid in the blood which the kidneys fail
to filter out. Any one can easily pre-.
pare this at home and at small cost.
Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated that
they can either supply these Ingredients,
or, if our readers prefer, they will COM
pound the mixture for them.
