THEY 'RE GONE BUT.
 NOT FORGOTTEN

If some people expended half the energy in earning money to pay their debts that they use i'll trying 10 avoid payment altogether, their creditors would have little cause for complaint.
 The truth of the above has been amply demonstrated during the past week, and the ingenuity and deceit used by many 10 make their getaway without the knowledge of their creditors throws light on a peculiar side of human nature.
 While all of the stampeders could raise the amount necessary to get 10 the new digeings, quite a large number found themselves unable to settle trifling accounts with local tradesmen.
 The local "tongh debt collector" was woefully oyerWorkei for two or three days preceding the stam- pede, and the wiles of the debtors, male and female, would make in teresting but not edifying reading
 One particularly tough case was that of former Fairbanks trades man. This man made several promises to pay, ''in few min utes;" but the minutes grew into hours before the gentleman could again be located. This time he was talking earnestly to another, presumably another creditor, and telling him how he intended 10 leave on the Martha Glow. But, alas tor his guileful soul, when the Evelyn left port he was safely aboard, although carefully con- eealed. His creditors watched for him Ill vain.
 Another, a woman who owed a trifling sum, protested that she had no money at all (what she intends to live on down below" we know noD; but when she was invited ashore the money was forthcoming under protest, it is true, but it was paid.

The departures on Thursday were not marked with the same en- tlusiasm as those of the previous day, but a considerable number of people thron&ed the waterfront Irom all early hour until the de parture o5 the Evelyn. This boat got away about I in the afternoon, carrying full complement of pas sengers and q barge loaded to Its utmost capacity.
 Several small boats also pulled out on Thursday, carrying from two five passengers apiece.
 Altogether there must have been nearly ,ooo people lave the camp during the past week and the stam- pede is by no means over. Several barges, scoWs and polling boats will

While the local quartz mines are showing up better than ever and new creeks are coming to the front as producers, d large number of people have seen it to run away from the good things that are here, and to join in an aimless stampede to d dis trict which has not a tithe of the riches which are to be found in the neighborhood of Fairbanks.
 On Wednesday night last, at II 10, the Iditarod stampede began in earnest, when the Panama, of the N. N, Co. s fleet, cast off from her moorings and dropped down stream. She was quickly followed by the Delta, Tana and the Dusty Diamond, and within half an hour over 400 people of both sexes and all ages had left for the new Eido- rado.
 The Tanana was at first schedul- ed to leave early in the afternoon, but the high wind that prevailed all day made 1t prudent to postpone the departure of the fleet.
 All day crowds lined the water front, and the piles of treig ht await ing shipment, with the hustling throng of longshoremen, stamped CTS and curious idlers gave the quayside the air Of a busy seaport.
 When the last warning whistles blew, the excitement reached fever heat. The passengers who had gone aboard lined the sho1eward side of the vessels, and the crowd on shore grew more noisy and demonstrative As the Panama pulled out into the stream, crowds ran along the banks ill her wake, and words of cheer and hope passed from shore to the boats and back again.
 Just below the hospital the Tan ana turned, and picking up her barges at the shipyards. headed down stream, carrying with her a human freight as buoyantly hope ful as any that ever set out to try their luck at fortunes wheel. Not till after the steamers had gone did the crowd on shore begin to dis perse to their homes, only to wait, Ill many cases, for a word of ell enlargement from the lower camp, when they too, will join in the wild search for gold.
 The Panama carried over 200 passengers. the Delta 40, the Tana B and the Dusty Diamond 25. Nearly 1000 tons of freight left for the lditarod during the day

Rock Will Average Over S1OO
 to tha Ton
FROM FAIRBANKS WOLF DIVIDE
lawson, Summersett & hCCarty Have Picture Rock Which is of Great Rich ness and Sufficient in Quantityto Make a Bonanza Mine.

Mir Summcrsett, of Lawson, SummerSett X McCarty, who have a fine quartz property on the Fairbanks Wolf divide. brought a sack of magnificent picture rock into town during week.
 This rock is not by any means the richest found on the proper ty, but is d fair average sample of that found at a depth of from 20 to 50 feet. But to show how rich the ore is, it may be men, toned that the gold extracted from the first l5 feet is sufficient to twice pay for the develop ment of the next 5o feet.
 The ledge on this property has been traced for 500 feet and three chutes of ore found in that distance.
 The ledge varies from < inches to , feet in width, and the ore compares very fayorably with some of the highest grade mines in the United States. The ore will average oyer %1O9 to the ton.
 Given one or two mines of this character there need be no doubt about the great future be fore this camp as quartz pro ducer of the first grade.

ANOTHER BONANZA
 MINE Rhodes Ledge Maintains High Reputation for Quality OVER S16O ID TON IS LATEST
From Ten Tons of Ore Treated at the Citizens Mill During the Past Week Over $1,60O In Gold Was Obtained By the Owners.

The Rhodes ledge, on Bed rock creek, continues to justify the high opinion previously formed of it.
 Some ten tons of rock from this ledge were treated at the Citizens mill during the week from which the large sum of Sl 600 in gold was extracted.
 The owners are already in $50 feet and will continue drifting until they get to the end line of the claim, some 500 feet further on.
 It is expected that the ore will show up even better as the drifting proceeds, as ore from {; shaft sunk at the end of the claim shows higher values than those above stated.

IHE W|CKERSHAM
 CHARGES

The wholesale charges brought by Delegate Wickersham against a large number ot Alaskan citizens and officials are going to be iuvesti- gated by senate subcommittee.
 The dismisSal of Sutherland and BOyCe formed the basis of the dele gates charges, but in order to make his attack more effective Mir. Wick ershanl made the assertion that eX- Governor HOggatt, Governor Clark and Attorney Shackleford were i'll the pay of the Guggenheims, whose agents they were, and that their whole efforts were devoted 10 fur therlng the interests of their en- ployers. regardless of the rights of the Alaskan settlers
 MT Douglass, formerly auditor for the ggenheims at COrdova, ill the earlier stages of the construC- tion of the Copper River & North western railroad, has testified that the Guggenheims expended S7o, ,ooo prior to the trial of Hasey, the Keystone canyon assassin, in all effort to corrupt the jury which tried the case.
 A coast paper charges that the Guggenheims are paying this man Hasev S5 day while he is serving out his sentence in the penitentiary for his crimes. It would be inter esting to hear what the editor or of the paper had to say if he should be called upon to testify as to the truth oI his assertion.
 Should the investigation be an honest one there might be some in teresting disclosure made as to the actual standing of the Guggenheims ill Alaska and the way they use their power.
 Ii Wickersham cannot make his charges stick he has no business to make them, and certainly is unftted for the position of delegate.

WHITE ON MOUND
doc" Tells Story of Own
Victory Over American
League Champs.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 1.-THE All
Star team threw another jolt into the
Athletics yesterday by the score of 6
to 2. 1t is hard to see how the cham
pions have a chance to win a single
game now with Johnson pitching to-
day and Walsh the last day.
The Athletics were without the serv-
ices of Baker yesterday, he having
bruised finger hurt during practice.
He gave way to Derrick, who performed
fairly we'll. There is still an absence
of fighting spirit in the ranks of the
Mackites, but all the American league
fans are hoping it is only a temporary
letup. In my opinion they will be
forced to show more attack than they
have SO far. On the other hand, they
are playing against a combination
probably strong as the one they will
meet for the worlds title, which is
some comfort at least.

PURPLE MAN

was broken and the physician declared

the rest of the season. The accident
occurred during the scrimmage between
the freshmen and the varsity.
Two other freshmen were injured and
while the accidents are not considered
serious, they will result in keeping
them out of the game for two or three
weeks. The other members on the hos
pital list are Wilson, quarter back, and
Wray, half back and quarter. Wilson
suffered a sprafned ankle while Wray
