coudry, Wis, Oct. livery
-bocied man in Winter and
the surrounding country has been
sworn in as deputy sheriff and
the town of Winter and all roads
approaching the town are guarded
by men armed with rifles, fearing
an attack from John Deitz for the
shooting of three OF his children
on Saturday.
Nobody knows what Sheriff
Madden will do next, but every
body is expecting more shooting
and bIoodshed within a few days.
Madden may storm Deitz strong
hold on the ThornappIe river or
may start waiting game and try
to starve the family out. John
Leslie, . son aged 20 who escaped
with a bullet hole through his
right arm after the attack, Helen
aged ID, Johnnie aged z and Mrs.
Deitz are still in charge of the
cabin at Cameron dam and cannot
be taken by storning the cabin

Everything is quiet but every

0FFFOR RED
MOUNTAIN

Considerable interest is being
manifested just now in the Red
Mountain country, about a hun
dred miles a little north of west
of Tanana, some of the creeks of
which are tributary to the Melozi
river, and some to the Koyukuk.
Following a report that coarse
gold was brought out by natives,
several people have gone in.
among whom are J. S. Langford,
Mike Laboski and Charles Col,
oumo e, of the Gold Mountain
district. It is probable that sew
eral people will leave Tanana for
that region between now and the
breakup.
Red Mountain is socalled be
cause the country is oxidized to
a reddish color. Gold Was found
there in considerable quantities
in pre-Klondike days and the dis
trict has long been looked upon
as favorable field for prospect
ing. The distance from Tanana,
over the course that would have
to be covered by sleds, ap.
proaches $50 miles.
1t is said that men from the
Gold Mountain district have
taken in enough supplies to last
them we'll on into the summer.

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE

The proposition to reorganize
the Tanana Chamber of Com.
merce is one worthy of favorable
consideration by all public. spir.
tied citizens.
By reason of it's central loca-
ton, the town of Tanana is des
tined to play an important part
in the future of interior Alaska.
For the same reason: anything
done for the advancement of the
town will be of benefit to the
prospectors, on whose success
the future of the country depends.
A good live body of public.
spirited men can do much for the
general good. Of the first i'm.
portance is trail to the Koyu-
kuk, passable for horses and We.
hicles winter and summer. The
time has come when the incor.
poration of the town should re-
ceive serious attention, so that
the money now taken from the
country in the way of license
taxes may be devoted to the
country's good.
Tanana has good coal, and the
largest and richest gold-bearing
district probably in the world
surrounds it-undeveloped, I'm.
prospected and unknown, except
to few who make desultory ex.
cursions into the mountains, de-
gending mainly on their rifles for
sustenance.
