PROTECT NEW ZEALAND BIRDS
Stringent Laws Found Necessary u
Any Are TO Be saved--kIlied
by Imported VermIn.

Nearly every native bird IN New
Zealand will be absolutely protected
by law this year. The animals nro-
lection act provides that 1910 and
every third year after that may at the
discretion Of the governor in coun.
ell be declared a closed season for
native game. The absence of bird
life In New Zealand is already most
noticeable. T. Mackenzie, a member
OF the government. as the result of a
recent Journey through the country
writes:
Between Nelson and Hokitika
hardly any bird life at all IA to he
met with; the imported vermin have
done their work Of bird destruction
only too well In the region from
Ross to the south, however, the tut
and the pigeon are to be seen making
bright the landscape with their pres
ence.
AT the Forks ] met a gentleman
who took a great interest in bird life
on the coast, and he told me that the
weSa, kiwi and kawakawa had dissn.
peared. and he believed that the
stoats and weasels killed eyerv bird
In the country. He had himself lust
lost half grown black swan which
he had reared. He had found IT lying
on Its back with cash in It's throat.
THE stocts and weasels were often
seen In the neigbborhood of the lakes
where the ducks made their nests. and
II was suspected that the vermin paid
due attention to their EGGS"

roasted to q rich dark brown.
When tho party left the train,
Moore called a taxicab, and 80 did the

he handed them his card, on which

OLD NEWS
 OF K0YUKUK
WIsEMAN, koYUKUK RIVER,
 June "A, 1910.

The spring cleanup is about over in this camp and number of claim own CTS who have taken out money are pre- pairing to leave for the outside. The seasons cleanup was not nearly as large as it should have been, owing to the fact that many of the claim owners who took out good money a year ago have not yet returned from their trip outside and during the first part of the past winter nearly all of the Nolan creek claims were idle
 The coming season promises much better from the fact that number of claims that heretofore have either been idle or were worked only part of the time have lately changed hands and will no doubt be worked more exten sively. On Nolan creek Tom Edwards has sold out his half interest in 6 below to F. Gilbert, Newton Ellington and Joe Horton. The consideration is said to have been $2O,0OO. George Worry also sold half interest in 2 below on Nolan to Gilbert, Ellington and Horton. Edwards and Worry are both leaving for the outside and both have made large fortunes in the Koyukuk. Edwards was a partner of Oscar Johnson at the time he made the famous cleanup on the No- Ian creek fraction. Worry is partner of John Nolan, the discoverer of Nolan creek.
 On Vermont creek Ida Williams sold a quarter interest in 6 below to E. Me- Cloud possibly Ernest Mcleod, son of Kinney and brother of Roy Mcleod. This interest was again sold to Joe Hor ton and partners. A fraction at the

Clark Goes to Iditar0d.

J. NJ. Clark, the well-known sheet metal worker of Hot Springs, was on the White Seal, which passed Tanana early Monday morning bound for the Iditarod. Mr. Clark was leaving coun- try of great natural advantages to seek better business opportunities where so much energy and capital are now assem- bled. He is expert in his line of busi- ness, a good citizen, and we sincerely wish him success.

About the time the president with drew the lands of Alaska from entry he also withdrew lands aggregating 35, ,OOO,- GOO acres in North Dakota, South Da- kota, Utah, Colorado, Washington and Arizona. It is tremendous power that enables the president to do this, and the exercise of that power carries with it a grave responsibility. It could almost be said that such huge transac- tions are too much to be entrusted to any one man.

tion adjoining, and half of the Red Boy group on Indian Gulch.
 A meeting was held July 16 to discuss ways and means for improving navlga- tion on the Iditarod river. Frank Man. ley was chairman and $1,OOO was sub- scribed. By building few wingdams and dredging out a runway it is believed possible to bring up to Iditarod City a large part of the tonnage that was thought tied up for good at Dikeman.
 A good coal mine has been discovered a mile and quarter from Iditarod City. The Pioneer says it belongs to the Flu reka Coal Company and crew of men will be put to work and furnish fuel for the city the coming winter. INote: We and the federal administration have our doubts about the ownership and utility clauses in this paragraph
 The food supply will be ample.
 The Iditarod district has been divided into five voting precincts, as follows: Otter Creek precinct, with polling place on discovery claim, Otter creek. Flat Creek precinct, with polling place at the Town of Flat. Otter City precinct, with polling place at the Town of Otter. Dikeman precinct, with polling place at the Town of Dikeman. Iditarod pre- cinct, with polling place at the Town of Iditarod.
 The Fourth was fittingly celebrated at Otter and Iditarod cities.
 Harry Rice and his partner Tom are believed to have perished in storm somewhere in the hills between Iditarod City and the Yukon last winter. They started for Holy Cross the last of De- cember or first of January and have not been heard from since. They were new to the country, were poorly clad and outtitted, and a bad storm came up few days after they left. They had a launch and other personal effects at Holy Cross, which are unclaimed.
 Of the creeks there is much interest ing dope in the Pioneer. On the known creeks there is between seven and eight miles of demonstrated pay, which in- cludes some of the richest ground ever found in Alaska. Says the paper: "The general resume amounts to this: that the camp looks good with what is al- ready in sight, and work-hard work alone will determine the size of its justi- fled existence.

HUDSON or
 HUDSON CREEK

$. R. Hudson, of Hudson creek, Gold Mountain district, came into town in a small boat last Monday. He procured a load of supplies and started on the return trip the next day.
 This was his first visit to Panama in nearly year. He and uncle Allen Chis- holm have put in splash dam this summer and it is working perfectly. It is substantial structure and there is no danger of high water carrying it out.
 There is large body of low-grade gravel on the creek and large cut will be put in readiness for shoveling in be- fore winter. However, very little dirt will be put into the boxes this season. Sluicing will be commenced in earnest as soon as the weather permits next year.

last Thursday evening were borrowed copies of the Iditarod Pioneer dated July 10 and IT. It is the most prosper ous-looking paper in Alaska, contains no less than seventy live advertisements, big and little, and the copy of the 17th says the first issue was quickly ex- hausted and the demand was not nearly supplied.
 Competition.
 The issue of July 10 announces the arrival of Major J. F. A. Strong, the noted pioneer newspaper man of Daw- son, Nome, Katalla and other northern places, who was looking for a place to set up his printing outfit. From the look of the Pioneer there will be enough business for two papers.
 General Notes.
 The Pioneer was full of interesting matter about the town and creeks. Some of it is outlined below:
 
 an election was held July 5 for five town trustees. Eleven candidates were voted for and 2SS ballots were cast. The fol- lowing were elected: Frank Miller, with 252 votes; E. M. Sullivan, 1S4; Henry Roden, 139; Fred Melius, 138, and T. J. Nestor, 131. On July the board or ganized by electing Henry Roden chair man. The board forms a provisional city government pending the legal pro- cess of incorporation.
 A mass meeting, called by the town trustees, was held July 12 to discuss the problem of fire protection. The meet ing set date on which decisive action would be taken.
 A subscription paper was meeting with liberal response for improving streets and building sidewalks. Agitation was being carried on for the making of road from Iditarod City to the creeks.
 On the night of July II several enter prising Iditarsd Cityzens proceeded to close Willow street against the encroach- ments of chechaco lot jumpers. To do this they jumped it themselves, says the Pioneer. At II o'clock small, decrepit tent appeared in the middle of Willow street, adjoining Joe Greens place, op- posite the Vienna Cafe and directly across the roadway. Al Hacks and Er- nest Niehoff thought they saw a chance for good location. Just after that John King decided that the remaining space wasn't wide enough for a roadway any how; so he jumped the remaining DOT tion of 30 feet, closing Willow as effect ually as one of these new -fangled rubber stoppers. The comment on this busi- ness is obvious. The government off cials treated the matter calmly, knowing they would be backed up by public sen- timent.
 July 15 Manley & Price made the first payment of $l5, ,000 on the option on the Marietta association. James Orr, Will liam Mcleod, Frank Stevens, George Shirley and Hans Olson are on the re- ceiving side of the transaction. The option entails the expenditure of another $l5,OOO in September, with final pay ment of $45, ,O00 on or before Oct. l, 1911. This $75, ,OO0 option is merged in 8 $25,- GOO privilege to purchase by Jack Price
