Restaurant
 Closes Down

The restaurant and short-order counter in connection with the Club saloon on Sullivan creek was closed on Wednesday and will not reopen until spring.
 The building in which the saloon and restaurant were both housed was found to be too small to comfortably accom- modate the trade, and it was decided to close the restaurant until later in the season. Mir. Postlewaite is con- templating building a large annex to his popular house, after which he will have plenty of room and can then re- open his cafe.

Good Dinners
 at Restaurants

The restaurants of this camp are doing their share to make Christmas day one to be remembered by the peo- pie hereabouts. A glance at the bills of fare is enough to make one satisfied to spend this day here where a dinner such as is offered can be had for the nominal sum asked.
 As result of the good dinners pre- pared at the different eating places very few of the families will prepare a Christmas dinner at home, prefering to eat their dinners out, and avoid the unnecessary work and worry of cooking a big feast.

Prospecting
 on BlOWbaCk

Several new outfits have started to work on Blowback creek during the past two weeks, and are now getting a number of holes we'll down to bedrock. The West fork is the scene of the lat est prospecting, and the men who are located there believe they have good chance of landing on the pay.
 Prospects have been obtained on Blowback at several different points, but at no place have the miners been able to get pay. Notwithstanding E former failures many are still con- vinced that this creek has paystreak, and are going to continue looking for it until it is located.

 Pleasant Time

Sunday evening small number of MT. J. K. Bakers friends paid that gentleman visit to his rooms over the N. c. store. The evening was spent listening to J. Els photograph for which he has large number of rec ords and which were very much en- joyed.
 It is very probable that Mir. Baker has the coziest bachelor rooms to be found in this part of Alaska. The dec- orat!ons which are many and varied, show many phases of Alaskan life and sport.

Hauling Wood
 on the Greeks

Since the last snow fell several of the claim owners on Sullivan have been having large quantities of wood placed upon their ground.
 At present wood is cheap and within easy hauling distance on the creek but the trees are small and it is only the matter of year or so until wood will be the most expensive item in mining on Sullivan. In consequence of this scarcity several owners are contracting for large quantities for future delivery.

.DORIES TO RACE

NEW 21-FO0T BOATS TO COM

water

This afternoon the new 21-foot dories
belonging to members of the South
Coast Yacht club will engage in an
other race for the championship and
The Herald cup, in the outer harbor at
San Pedro.
The first of the series of winter races
was sailed at San Pedro two weeks
ago, Joe Fellows fleet Red Fox being
an easy winner in both races that day.
Last Sunday afternoon the five boats
which sailed in the first official races
went out for sweepstakes race, ana
were Joined by Haines Reed in his new
boat, La Concha The Doris proved
the fastest last Sunday, winning the
race by q margin of only three minutes
over La Concha, which came in last.
AS all the shippers are becoming used
TO their boats, it is difficult to pick the
winner for this afternoon, as the boats
are similar and much depends upon
the shippers judgment of the wind
and the course to follow.
Probably two races will be sailed
today, beginning at L o'clock. Either
this afternoon or in two weeks a course
will be laid outside the breakWater, as
far as the Whistling buoy off Point Fir
min lighthouse. The arrangements for
the course depend a great deal upon
the wind and weather conditions at the
time of the race.
The owners of the boats and their
crews are very enthusiastic over the
sport thus far in the contest, which
will end March 20. and those who have
had the good fortune to witness the
trim dories in action say the races are
as interesting and exciting as those be
tween larger boats. One reason for
this is they are of similar size and
build and the races are closer.
Today the boats to sail are the Red
Fox, Doris, Merrily, Kitty, Little Mis-
chief II and La COncha.
