 ''The town is quiet just now, but the weather is good and every body is well. The creeks are active because everyone is preparing for winter work.
 "Ophir will be worked from 5-b. lower to Ga. upper with few excep, tious. Fine pay has been reported en this creek, and 1t will be busy place all winter. There will be two or three outfits prospecting on Spruce for sluicing ground, as Spruce is considered a summer proposition.
 "There will be few dumps taken out OH Little, but i'll the main, Little IS also considered a summer proposition.
 "Gaines is on tie same basis as Little as far as working is Econ. cerned. In regard to pay, Gaines is far ahead of Little, in fact. from reliable reports gathered, Gaines will be one of the notable creeks o Alaska.
 Hast but not least is Yankee, - a creek that has produced mucf money under adverse and trying circumstances It is looking very good for tue next season and will be among the summer creeks"
 Connolly adds that he didn't see busted man over there. The out put will be better than last season to be divided up among about 2sc people. Jack looked iuto a safe over there and saw 5 pokes rang ing from $Ioo to $2ooo, John Nor row has good supply of grub and everybody is satisfied.

Skirt With Pointed Tunic.

Every variation of the tunic skirt is
being worn this season, and here is
one that is graceful in the extreme
while perfectly simple. 1t is adapted
to all the fashionable soft materials,
for they all drape successfully, and it
can be utilized for one throughout or
for combinations as liked. The triple
box pleat at the back gives the long
lines that are so desirable, and be-
meath the tunic is a circular flounce
attached to foundation. In this case
the entire skirt is made from one of
the beautiful new soft silk crepe ma
terials with band of moire edging
the tunic. TUNES are being extern
sively made from chiffon, jetted nets
and materials of the sort over skirts
of chiffon or of silk, however, and
again such combinations as crepe with
satin, crepe with velvet and silk with
heavier materials are greatly In
vogue. For the trimming any pretty
banding is appropriate.

Circlets For Ankles.

The diamond garter has been fad
for many years, but recently Berlin
women have decided the garter is not
worth the trouble and expense, now
that the sheath gowns have gone out
of vogue. To have large diamond
earrings was all very well and rings
on dainty hands will always be in
fashion, but what more could the fas-
tidious woman ask than sparkling
band OF diamonds around her ankle?
First one of the women in the Kais-
er's court started it, Others were
wiliing to emulate her, and now when
there is dance the circlet OF gems on

Sash Worn With Bracelets.

All that hangs gracefully about
woman's clothes speedily becomes the
fashion. The woman who first wore
the shawl in Italy soon startled Rome
by her grace. She had not even been
known as pretty before that, but ever
afterward she was the Roman beauty.
The shawl received another hanging,
fringe, which swayed and trembled
with every movement of the figure.
Then came the gracefully hanging
skirts. and now the newest thing is to
have a sash drawn from the waist
through bracelets of gold worn above
the elbows The sash, which hangs
down to the edge of the skirt, gives
an unusually graceful effect. AS the
sash is not loose, but attached to the
dress at the waist, it is no trouble to
the wearer, but is an everlasting
temptation to be kept moving. New

A Woman's Time to Dress.

"a correctly gowned woman can
not dress herself in less than one
hour and half
Nine. Marguerite Sylvia. the prima
donna, thus sets the feminine sarto-
rial time with finality.
A well groomed woman allows:
Fifteen minutes for bath.
Ten minutes to adjust corsets and
underwear
Fifteen minutes to go over the face
with light massage and powder.
Fifteen minutes at least to arrange
the hair.
Ten minutes to adjust the hat
Twenty-Five minutes, being all that
is left, in which to arrange the outer
costume.
"Of course" said Nine. Sylvia,
"these are the necessities of a wom-
ans toilet. She must allow, at least,
every other morning:
Thirty minutes for manicure.
"Forty-five minutes for waving the
hair.
can hour for thorough massage.
"For myself, am never late. How
ever, l am afraid that the time con-
slider necessary for dressing would
cause the learned Chicago judge to
bless a fate that never had led him
to my drawing room to cool his
heels"
The Chicago judge to whom Nine.
Sylvia referred is Judge Grove, who,
in connection with a fine he imposed
upon the chauffeur of Mrs. George
w. Lederer, exclaimed:
"a woman has no regard for time;
she will take half an hour to adjust
three hairpins. Women take too
much time in dressing and primping
They have no idea of the inconve-
niences it causes their husbands,
friends and admirers
Certainly there is one thing that
no man can understand" said Nine
Sylvia, land l doubt if l can explain
it. The less a woman puts on the
longer it takes her to do it. Never
have women worn fewer clothes than
with the present fashions, and never
has it taken them longer to dress
But, after all, the question sim
mers down to this" concluded Nine.
Sylvia, would man prefer to wait
for an attractive woman, or to have
an unattractive woman waiting for
him? Whatever is worth having is
worth waiting ?"-New York Tel
