 Karsteus and Henderson accom- panied Tom Lloyd To the Kantishna about three weeks ago They tray eIed in a gasoline launch and say that they had a very fine trip.

 Owing to the scarcity of water in the Kantishna this season there is not great deal of work being done. although there are nearly 90 men in the camp at the present time.
 They left Tom Lloyd at Glacier. where he will put in some assess ment work on his quartz prospects there
 When Karstens and Henderson were returning to Fairbanks they passed the Julia E., which with her two barges, was stuck on Twelve mile bar There was no telling when she would be re-hoated
 On board the Julia R. were Clar- ence Berry and a travelling compan- ion. When karstens arrived with his launch they transferred 10 it and came into town. Berry has been visiting his extensive hydraulicing properties in the Bonnifeld

POCKETS PROHIBITED TO
CASINO GAMEKEEPERS
Gambling House Magnates Try
to Keep Them Honest,

PARIS, Aug. 19-Everybody knows
how freely the gold coins roll on the
gambling tables of the many casinos
at the winter and summer resorts, but
what the general public does not
know are the numerous measures of
precaution which the managers take
to avoid some of the gold being APP
propriated by the employee who is sup
posed to oversee the stake and to dis
tribute the winnings, and who is well
known as the croupier. 1t seems that
nothing better was found than to for
bid these croupiers to have any pock-
cts in their clothes. But various tricks,
it is said, have been resorted to by
those who yielded to temptation, one
of which was to have little pockets
under the shirtfrolt or at the back of
their ties The majority of the crou-
piers are no doubt severely honest and
conscientious men, who would not ap-
propriate a single coin not belonging
to them, but black sheep are found
everywhere.
One of the latest tricks said to have
been discovered at a provincial casino
is a device in the palette or rake used
by the croupier for raking in the money
on the table The crosspiece of the
rake was followed out, and a sort of
strap caused the coin to glide easily
to the inside of the blade and to re-
main there. The managers of the
casino wondered how the gold louis
disappeared so mysteriously, and in
spectors who watched the croupiers
movements failed for long time to
detect the trick. When he was ar
rested at last three palettes fitted
with the clever device were found in
his possession.
