Russian FurS Scarcer

According to the estimates of the
Russian government for the year 1910
the following results are expected in
respect to the catch of valuable sea
and fur-bearing animals: Sea bears,
5000; beavers, first quality, 40; second
quality, 40; blue Arctic fox. $50, and
other varieties, 600.
The revenue to the treasurer paid for
each beaver, first quality, is 200 rubles;
second quality. 100 rubles; blue fox, Is
rubles; white fox, 9 rubles; entirely
white, S rubles, and sea bears, 10 ru-
bles. The total to be expected by the
treasury this year is about 100000
rubles. 1t is unfortunately to be OBJ
served that there is u gradual decline
in the industry. The treasury got from
the seal fishing of 1905 $4,000 rubles,
in 1906 $4,000 rubles. and in 1907 ouly
81, 900 rubles. Fur News.

RAMPANT Miner -.
SUES FOR SALARY

A suit for $4,000 salary has been
filed in the district court by M. E.
Koonce against the Rampant City Gold
Mines Company. Mr.. Koonce asserts
in his complaint that from September
/, 1905, to September 7, 1909, he was
the superintendent of the defendants
hydraulic properties on Hoo>ier creek,
engaged at IL salary of $1,000 year,
none of which salary has never been
paid to him. according to the Fair
banks Times, he duly filed lien
against the property for the sum of
$4,000 in September last.
The company was equipped with
costly and efficient appliances and last
season started up undei oeonditions ia
vorable to success; but the failure of
the water supply and other unfore-
seen circumstances are said to have
reduced the output far below the profit
line

NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
over RED MOUNTAIN
ARCTIC CITY, Feb. q, 1910.

ARCTIC CITY, Feb. q, 1910.
Editor Tanana Leader:
Dear Sir:-I drop you few lines to
tell you what the strike here at Red
Mountain amounts to so far, that you
may make use of it for the benefit of
prospectors who are coming here. So
far there is nothing found to justify
any one to come here. Red Mountain
creek is practically all staked and the
best prospect yet shown is claimed to
be one lone fly speck. Indian creek
the center of excitement, is Il stream
about Is miles long. Over 25 miles Of
the heart of the creek has already
been staked. One hundred and eight
claims have been staked by people
either directly or indirectly concerned
with commercial interests. Three holes
have been bedrocked. Tom Hill could
not raise color. Charley Coloumbe
saw bedrock and has left without,
stalking. do not know who sunk the
other hole; it did not show up any
thing. The ground is 8 to II feet: SO
far as known all aver that depth is
water. | would advise the proSpector
not to be in Il hurry about coming
here. There are large stocks at BEL
ties and Wrisht's. The traders are
freighting grub from Beetles TO Arctic
City and adding freight to the already
high prices. Bacon Al cents, sugar
about 30 cents, rice 25 cents, every
thing else in proportion.
l am not saying that this section of
the country is failure. but as yet
there is nothing to cause any excite
ment. Those coming to prospect had
better bring their supplies from
Tanana. All the creeks from the head
OF Big Melozi this way show schisl
formation. and most any of them looks
better to me than Indian creek does

MINSTREL SHOW
SATURDAY NIGHT

In consideration of the wishes of
many who desired to avail themselves
OF the A. BIS hospitality on st. Pat
rick's eve, the committee ON manage
ment for the minstrels decided to defer
the big minstrel show until Saturday
evening Of this week instead of having
same ON St. Patrick S day as was origi-
nally intended.
An important decision made by the
management was with reference to the
price OF admission. There being no
special object for creating Il fund, the
committee decided to fix the price of
reserved seats at 81 and general admis-
sion at 50 cents, inste I'd of 81. 50 and 81
as was originally decided upon. The
admission fee being simply to cover the
cost of costumes and staging.
Nearly half the house had been sold
when this decision was made, but to
those who had already purchased tick
cts at the original price the difference
in cost was refunded.
The seats are going fast and a
crowded house is anticipated. The CO.'S
tunes and stage effects are all in readi-
ness, and the chorus, under the able
direction of Lieut.. McCammon, is
rounded up in good shape. The cur
tain will go up promptly at $3.50 o. clock.
Forty local hits will be passed out
red hot off the bat and the choruses
will be sufficiently rousing il character
20 start the blood tingling in all lovers
of old-time MINISTRIES. Included in the
olio will be solos. male quartet, Jug.
Cling and ether popular vaudeville
stunts, also the laugiable comedy
"Mama's Darling Boys" which will be
presented by the juvenile talent of Tan
ana and the post. The program will
conclude with the roaring comedy,
The Tanana Sanitarium," or Hot
Ozone,' presented by the star element
of the post. A laugh from start to fin
,ish.
After closing their engagement here
the Fort Gibbon MINISTRIES will make a
tour of the States as far as Texas.

Huge Star Falls l..
in North Dakota

Residents of Foster county. South
Dakota, who had occasion to be up
at O'Clock OIL the morning Of Jan
uary 2o were treated to a spectacu-
lar exhibition they will not soon
forget. A monster meteor IS inches
i'll diameter and weighing many
tons buried itself iii the earth to a
depth of six feet about seven miles
northwest of Darlington.
The attention of near observers
WAS attracted by the dazzling light
from the heavenly visitor. which.
for a full minute before it struck
the ground, illuminated the entire
country for miles around as light
as day. The huge ball took on all
colors of the rainbow and travelled
with tremendous speed but without
perceptible noise.
Inc conclusion when 1t struck
the ground, however, was terrific,
the noise taking the form of a
heavy roar
Tine vibrations of the earth, oc.
casioned by the collision, awoke
many inhabitants. who generally
supposed they were caused by all
earthquake shock. The meteor
kept hot for more than "a hours
after it's fall. 1t now has the APP
pearance Of dull ore. Hundreds of
residents of the county are driving
to the scene to inspect the curiosity.
