FAIRBANKS HAS
 NEW PAY STREAK

Laymeu on 3 below left limit bench, Fairbanks creek, last night made the first cleanup from the new paystreak they accidentally tapped last Saturday. The result went far beyond the best hopes of operators and owners, the net value of the heaping painful of dust weighedup last night being $0, ,54O.- 80. The most optimistic estimate be- forehand had been SG,COO. The gravel sluiced averaged just $.25 10 the square foot of bedrock, the area uncovered being jus, little less than 2,25O square feet. Best of all, the pay Is holding out, and Swayne Johnson, the lucky layman, is still finding the same rich sediment on the upper edge of the open cut in which he is working day.--Fairbank News.

Pacific exposition at Seattle next year. This fact, although surmised for long time, has only been scientifically established in the past two or three years,
 It was ln 1908 that B M. Kindle and J. NJ. Bernett, of the UoIted States geo. logical survey, visited thelvalley of the Yukon. In the course of their search they discovered several specimen of fossil invertebrates which do not exist in any other portion of the continent of America, but which do exist in Siberia. This does point conclusively to former junction Of the two continents.
 According to the recently issued re- port of these scientists, it was not known before that these fossil which they discovered, existed on any portion of the continent Of America.
 A number of the best Of these relics Of former times, which are to be eEhib- tied at the 1909 exposition In Seattle were dug from the mud at the bottom of river bed by the two scientists with the greatest difficulty and labor,
