Satisfaction.

ELkllART. IND, Jan. 27-Citizens
of Nappanee believe that municipal
ownership Is both feasible and prac.
teal and boast OF successful muni-
cipal water and electric light plant.
The town, although the youngest in
northern Indiana, with population
of 1900 has the oldest municipal wa
ter and electric plant In the state.
Nappanee has good water and plen-
ty of 1t, and should there lie fire
the pressure can be run up in two
minutes as high as the mains will
stand. There are no typhoid bacteria
In the water. The water Is sold by
meter at the rate of 1.2 cents hun
dred gallons. Figures in the posses.
Pfefferie, show that the average cost
| C. families who do not use water for
sprinking Is $3.50 Il year and for
families who use water for sprinkling
and other outdoor purposes $3.50. Few
families In Nappanee pay as high as
81 year for water.
The Nappannee water and electric
station was installed in 1896 at an
original cost OF $4,000, but improve
ments since make the total invest
ment approximately $4,000. This in
cludes water mains, wires. poles and
equipment. The water tank Is 90 feet
In diameter and 116 feet high and Il
steady pressure of forty-four pounds
to the square inch is maintained. In
an emergency the engineer could
shut off the valve that supplies the
tank and by pumping directly through
the mains get almost instantly n
pressure Of more than one hundred
pounds to the square inch.
The water comes from three wells
$50 feet deep. One is n twelve inch
well and two are six inch Wells. Many
towns in Indiana of twice the size
of Nappanee have not advanced far
enough in enterprise to boast of tub
ular wells.
Two engines are used in the sta
ton. The larger engine is used to
run the water pumps and the electric
plant. The other one Is kept for en-
Urgency purposes.
Twenty-six arc lights are used in
Illuminating the streets, which is
more in proportion To the size of the
town than Is used in any other town
| in the country. 1t has been found
that the cost of running the electric
plant Is 81 an hour. The plant is
only run at night. but should any per
son desire light In the day time for
any purpose it is only necessary for
him to notify the electrician and the
plant is started. The cost to the In
dividual is 81 an hour. the cost OF
operating.
| For the first time since the mum.
cipal plant was established Mr. Pfeff-
erie Is this year keeping detailed
account OF the running expenses.
From January to June this year the
cost of operating was s952.7i, outside
of the salaries of the engineers. 1t
lis estimated that the total expense
will not exceed $4,000 year. The
net profit of the plant last year was
S1.O2S.
Nappanee has four miles of water
mains and all equal number of miles
of electric wires. Only twice in the
towns history have the lights been
shut OFF, each time after ten o'clock
at night.

Rich PaYstreak

Frank F. Howard, commissioner, writes in the Fairbanks News that the most important strike ever made in the history of the Koyukuk was un- covered recently on Nolan creek. The strike was made by John Olsen, Louis Olsen, and John Anderson. They struck bedrock at a depth of l25 feet. The first bucket from bedrock, holding between 8 and pans, yielding $229, rated at $l7 per ounce. The gold is much finer than the general average of Koyukuk gold found heretofore, al- though as high as $40 pieces have been picked up.
 This strike has added new life to the camp, and the result is that a thunder of holes are going down in the deep ground farther down on Nolen and still farther down on Wiseman creek.

Several Men Doing Work in Kahiltna Region and Good Reports
 Come Out.
Special to The Daily Gateway.

Kahiltna, Dec. 7-The interval of six weeks covering the time between the closing of navigation and the form ing of the ice on the river is past and activity on the trail has begun.
 Five outfits passed here this week bound for the creeks and several more came down from the creeks in the last few days. Cromer and Hellman arrived December 6. They say Dick Richardson and two other men are doing some winter digging on Cache and Nugget creeks. Before coming down Cromer ran some drifts into the gravel banks near Cache creek and the prospects he obtained show shot gold. He intends to con- tinue work in that direction next summer.
 Several natives who had been huning in the upper Yentna district came down WlIn SleuS lodueu MlVh iuoooo he"O' They say all the proSpectors who were camped at the mouth of the Skwentna have passed on up that river.

 The moose are running more plenti- ful this season than last, two being chased by some native dogs were drowned near the mouth of the Vent na in attempting to cross the river on the ice.

The Salmon Industry

In 1866 the first salmon canneries were established along the Columbia river, near Astoria. Such records as are in existence today show the pack to have been for that year approxi- mately 4,OOO cases. Today the canner- ies on the Pacific coast, located in the waters of Puget sound and Alaska, have capacity of upwards of 5,OO0,- 900, cases year.
 In Alaska alone 12OOO men, no steamers, fifty-fve sailing vessels, and tugs without number, are constantly engaged in the salmon business. Means must be taken to keep the waters supplied or the fish will soon be ex- hausted.-Capt. J. J. Doyle.

Betwee 200 and 300 Whitening in New Gold District of
 Western Alaska.
THREE MINERS REACH SEWARD
Report Fair Results Were Obtained on Gaines Greek and Much
 Prospecting Done.

At least 200 or 300 men are winter ing in the Innoko region and small number along the upper Kuskokwim' is the report brought by H. J, Scott, Charles Sanders and J. L. Newcom, who came in over the trail last night. They report that fair returns were obtained by a small number of men working on Gaines creek, the tribu- tary of the Innoko river where the original placer strike was made last year in that district.
 A great deal of prospecting was done on adjacent creeks, largely by men from the Panama, and the indications are considered good, but nothing fab ulous was struck this year. Some prospecting was done in the upper Kuskokwim region but no startling results were reported.
 Scott represented the KuSkokwim Trading & Transportation Company, which has a station at Simpsons $ slough and runs the steamer Hattie B. on the river. The failure of an ocean steamer to land 8 large cargo at the mouth of the KuSkokwim intended for the upper river traders, has left the region nearly out of provisions. MT. Scott sold nearly everything he had and came out.
 Newcom formerly lived in Seward and is the man who was recently re- ported at Valdez to have taken out s25.OOO in the Kuskokwim district. He says this is mistake and does not know how the report was started. Sanders was on Gaines creek and brought the report from that region.
 The men who are in Seward were in q party of eight from the Kuskokwim. The others remainedat Susitna Station and Knik. The party left the Kusko- lwim in November, came up Dalzell creek to the pass at the head of Happy river. down that stream to the Skwent- na and Yentna. The snow was not deep in many places but many of the streams were still running and the men had hard work getting past some of them. They had particularly hard time along Happy river.

Dr. Parker Dies at Cordova

Dr. J. H. Parker, assistant to Dr. Whiting, railroad physician at Cor dova, died in that city Monday, and the remains were brught to Valdez on the steamer Elsie this morning. The deceased had only been in Cordova a few days when he contracted a violent attack of pneumonia, which resulted in his death. Dr. Parker was we'll known in most of the Southern Alaska towns. He was assistant to Dr. Whiting on the White Pass & Yukon railroad at Skagway. Later he was in charge of the hospital for the Alaska Central at Seward, which position he resigned to again join Dr. Whiting when work first began at Cordova. When work ceased there he went to Katalla and returned when operations resumed at Cordova.
 The funeral of Dr. Parker took place this afternoon under the auspices of the Arctic Brotherhood of which or ganization the deceased was an enthu- slastic member-Valdez Prospector.

They report things looking well on Gaines creek, and that the Kuskokwim region is hard coun- try to get around in. The men go out on the Northwestern to Valdez and the states.
