HOW ABOUT THAT
 BALLOON CEILING ?

Following q slight scare at the Budweiser saloon the other evening when one ot the gasoline lamps be came uumanageable and nearly set fire 10 the cloth ceiling, Jack Baird immediately got busy and covered the entire ceiling with asbestos paper, evidently proceeding on the theory that it is cheaper to spend a little money on fire protection than to lose his place of business.
 Investigation has shown that there are number of places in the heart of the city where gasoline lamps are being used under cloth and paper ceilings with no pre- caution of any kind to prevent a fire should the lamps blaze up.
 The city fathers should pass a

 BACON COVERS

There comes a story from the trail that is worth while repeating for it comes under the head of handy hints 10 tue needless and helpless.
 You know that good bacon and ham that comes doue up in those "seal tight packages. We would mention the name if it didn't look like advertising and everybody knows 1t anyway.
 We'll, there are a lot of things you can do with that seal tight composition.
 Harry Karstens, came ill over the trail from Fairbanks the other day with a dog team He had pneumatic mattress, and sharp Cornered box rubbed a hole ill it. Harry was up in the air, but not on the mattress Then he got an idea, which is habit with him once in d while, and melted some of that eeal tlght. When of the proper consistency, as they say i'll the cook book, he rubbed it oyer the hole in the mattress and let 1t cool. Then he slept peacefully that night.
 The very next day lie punched a hole in his tin bucket, which he was also u"ing for & kettle. He scraped the tin clean around tue hole and poured OH some mor= seal tight. It worked fine as long as he kept water in the kettle.
 He fourd it an excellent thing to start fire with when it was real cod and he needed warmth in a hurry. | could also be led for nending rubber shoes and he says in pinch it makes excellent short ening for hot cakes

TOTAL I YIELD
 $I2,O()D,OO0

Tanana, Noy. 3o--The Iditarod will not produce more than $I2,- 900, 900 at the utmost, according to the estimate of Tom Aitken, who, with Billy Casey and two others, arrived here from the Iditarod last Saturday.
 Flat creek is the only good pro ducer says Tom, and only about two miles of that is rich Frank Manley and Aiken own the Mari etta association, which they bought from Frank Stevens and partner last summer.
 Only one outfit is working on Flat creek this winter-Lynn, who is steam sluicing.
 There are about 500 men over in the Kuskokwim, but as yet tue stories of big pay over there are all hot air, says Aiken. Tom cleane up big sum on his ground oil Flat and is going outside for the winter
 Billy Casey was ON his way to Fairbanks from Flat creek, where Bert Moore is managing his saloon. Billy may go outside and return to the Iditarod over the Seward trail.
 H. Laurie with Emil Johnson brought Aiken and Casey up river Laurie has ground ill the Kuskok vim and intends taking back sup ply of Christmas turkeys and oys- ters He says the stampede into the Kuskokwim caused the grub shortage ill the Iditarod. The N. C. will have their entire stock sold out by New Years, according to Laurie, and the other merchants are running short.
 The party came by way of the Nulato trail, which they say is the best I is about Io5 miles from Diskaket to Nulato.

Ben Anderson, who with John Kieland and others struck the first gold on George liver last spring, arrived in town last week accom- panied by one of bis partners, Oscar Nord.
 They have been prospecting of late OH Julian creek but are now transferring their operations 10 Michigan where they will move a boiler immediately.
 Besides good pay that is known to exist on Julian, they report no finds ot importance, and don't look for any until prospectors get boilers and pumps into the country to handle the water that drives them out on nearly every creek.
 John Kieland is on Spruce creek but has done little work for the last few weeks on account of being dis abled by sickness.

Back with horses and double endeIs, Tom Shallow and Jim Lewis the weIl-known freighters, completed round trip from this city 10 Georgetown and back last Wednesday, having safely delivered a considerable consignment of goods to the Kuskok kwim Commercial Co., which had been purchased by A, H. Twitchell on bis recent visit.
 They had about a ton and half and took the stuff with single hor ses. It is the first real freighting between the two points, and k merely the forerunner of a consider able traffic that will pass from this city 10 the other side of the divide this winter.
 They intend 10 start back the latter part of the week with another load fol various parties at George town and vicinity.

Black Sullivan Gould
 Not Deliver the Goods

According to the report brought back by Samson and Boyne, the two men who went to Bethel for reindeer in October and returned last week, they picked up all the loose animals there were around there and thus shut several others out of the market.
 Among these was "Black" Sullivan, formerly city trustee and chief of the Idltarod fire department. who went down from Georgetown with the in- tention of getting a herd of reindeer for up-river consumption.
 Sampson and Boyne secured l20 head about 100 miles up river from Bethel and it appears that there were no more reindeer in that portion of the country. Sullivan was compelled to return emptv handed but it is probable that there will be more deer in the Kuskokwim before the winter is over.

 Capt. Hiram Hubbell and his daughter Susan. whose mother is dead and who lived entirely on her fathers ship. often wearing, indeed, mems clothes, are bound for Boston on the ship Hiram and Susan from Bordeaux. The crew turns out to be a bad lot, especially the boatswain, Francois. The only reliable man is the mate, Mir. Conant, who is secretly in love with the girl. They are attacked by a British frigate. the time being the Am erican revolution. During the engage ment Francois, taking advantage of the confusion, stabs the captain in revenge for being ficygec,

CHAPTER VII.
The 9eticent Mate.

Standing above on the poop, Susan saw the deed, but her scream went unheeded in the confusion.
 Do you striker" came down again from the frigate
 The smoke had blown away by this time, and she was close aboard. Mer- cifully, her captain held his fire.
 No response came from the Ameri- can ship, and he could see that she was practically helpless.
 The boatswain, after a defiant look at the dead captain, wiped his sheath knife on his trousers, jumped lightly over the captains body, and ran up the poop ladder
 Susan thought he had come for her. She was too unnerved by the terrible catastrophe that had befallen her to think of resistance She shrank back against the rail and looked at him, mortified. Her fingers fumbled at her pistol.
 'Tll tend to you presently, my beau ty," he cried, as he ran rapidly across the deck, cast off the halyards, and hauled off the United States flag from the gaff-end
 As it reached the deck he stamped his foot upon it.
 How dare you!' cried Susan, awak- ened into action.
 She whipped out the pistol and ran toward him. Quick as cat he sprang upon her, wrenched the weap- on out of her hand, hurled it into the sea, and threw her wildly from him.
 I'm master of the ship now" he said. ''The captains dead, killed by the enemy"
 You killed him." said the girl q saw you"
 ''Nonsensei" was the reply.
 Where is MT. Conant?" asked Su- san.
 Dead on the forecastle''
 Susan buried her face in her hands.
 ''Heave to-" cried voice from the other ship.
 Aye, aye, sir" answered the boat swain. "As for you," he said, turning to Susan. you'd better get below"
 Without word, Susan turned and entered the cabin
 I'll send your father after you" said the man as she left the deck. But he was not to have things en- tirely his own way. for Mir. Conant at this juncture made his appearance in the waist. He had recovered con- sciousness, and came aft a little un- steady, but apparently master of him. self Whats this?' he said, as he stopped by the body of Captain Hiram. The captain was killed, sir" an- swered the boatswain, smoothly. de- scending to the quarter-deck, by the first broadside from the English fri gate"
 My God!" exclaimed Conant. And Miss Hubbell?' She's below in her cabin, and un- harmed, think" returned the boat swain. Two of you carry the captains
