Nick Snyder, who is working with Chadwick on Ga. on Little Minook, met with a serious accident last week. While working in the hole block of wood fell from the top of the shaft striking him on the top of the head, in- fiicting a serious wound. He went to Rampant where Dr. Hudgin took eight or ten stitches in the cut. He is now fully recovered and is again at work.
 Reports from Gunnison creek still continue to be favorable, but the pros pectors there are bothered very much with water. Owing to the mild weather which prevails the ground is not frozen as much as is desirable, and there will have to be some cold weather before work can be properly conducted.
 The trail up Hunter to Quail and Troublesome creeks is now in good condition. Dave Rushan returned from there this week, having built all the necessary bridges and knocked out all the niggerheads in the bad places.

Stolen Funds
 Are Returned

All save few hundred dollars of the sum with which George Gibson, the de- putty field marshal at Hot Springs, ab- seconded last fall has been recovered and it now in possession of the federal authorities at Fairbanks, by whom it will be held pending the trial of the defaulting official to take place here some time this winter.
 The bulk of the money which Gibson obtained by selling the. gold dust ir . trusted to him by Commissioner Rev. ington at Hot Springs for delivery to the court at Fairbanks came into the possession of the marshal's office yes terday, having been received Do mail from Halifax, Nova Scotia.
 Gibson got away with approximately 5000 worth of dust and some nugget jewelry. After exchanging the gold for money in Fairbanks he immediately got rid of it, evidently fearing detec- tion and arrest. To place it where it would be available later he sent part to 8 relative in Los Angeles and two other remittances to relatives in Nova Scotia. The authorities here learned of thls disposition of the money, and by the use of cablegrams succeeded in stopping payment. The two amounts received yesterday from Nova Scotia aggregated s2O4S; $l498 had been sent to Mrs. James Gibson, at Halifax, mother of the defaulter. This was sent back by John A. Rutland, chief of po- lice of that city. The other amount (S55O) was returned by James Farqu- har, stipendary magistrate of West Hamps, county of Hamps, Nova Scotia. He had taken possession of the remit. tance which had been sent to some one in that place.
 Through the splendid work of the marshal's office Commissioner Beving' ton will be saved nearly all of the big sum which it looked for time haG been lost. In addition to the returns made from the outside there is ar amount greater than $100 found or Gibson when he was arrested and an other sum of $500 he had intended te pay for counsel.-Fairbanks News.

Hot Springs
 Has Earthquake

Sunday night at 9:58 Hot Springs ex- perienced very distinct earthquake shock which stirred things up for 8 few seconds.
 The tremor was plainly felt by every body in town, and was the occasion of considerable alarm to many people. The windows in nearly all the buiid- ings were shaken, and the bottles on the shelves in the business houses moved about bit.
 J. D. Baker heard rumbling in the salesroom of the N. c. store which sounded something like heavy cases of goods moving around. He rushed down stairs thinking that Manager Turnbull had gone in for strenuous ath- letics, but instead he found the man of the Ingersollian brow wrapped snugly in his dressing gown calmly reading the 109th Psalm. Then MT. Baker, after disgustedly wiping some cracker crumbs and other groceries from the bottoms of his trilbys, crawled back into the hay.
 No damage was done and the citizens were rather pleased with the shock as it gave them some diversion.
 The shock was felt at Tanana, and proved very pleasant surprise to at least one person. Rumor has it that the ''iar'' shook four-bit piece from the pocket of Raffie King Spence tha, he didn't know was there. f
