MINERS & MERCHANTS
 BANK IN NEW HOME

With quarters fitted up in stump tuous style, the Miners & Mer- chants bank moved into it's new home early last week, and is now doing business behind oak panels and little brass windows.
 This new money mart is situated in the corner of the big Nestor building, and gives every evidence of solid prosperity. It is all pol ished wood and shining glass with plenty of offices and lots o! room. Ill the rear a concrete safe lends an air of 6reproof safety, behind the door of which are now reposing large pokes of the first output oi tue Iditarod.

GOLDSTREAM MINERS /:
 LOOK OYER CAMP

With complete mining outfit landed at Dikeman, Mike Mahoney and George Rich, partners in lay on I6 Goldstream, of the Fairbanks district, arrived in the Iditarod last week and are now looking around tor place to light.
 They report that they had worked out the ground on 1e with very satisfactory results, but had heard enough of this camp to warrant them in bringing their plant down here for another try. Being men of wide mining experience they will doubtless have little difficulty in securing lay on some of the good ground in this vicinity.

SLlpIpERN TURNS
 ROAD BUILDER

Following the skinuing of few preliminary logs at his new mill at the lower end of town, Earl Slip perm, the well-known lumberman, has taken tie transportati tion bull by the horns without waiting fot outside assistance and has already constructed a considerable length of roadway from bis mill to the paved portion of the city streets.
 Of course, it might be said that ol1ppern was compelled to do this to get his product to market, but at the same time the work evinces enterprise and open handedness. He is turning out lumber at a rapid rate and fears for fall shortage are vanishing.

WOOD WANTED 0H THE RIVER

Despite the fact that steamboat men are paying and willing to pay BIO cord for wood they are meeting with con- tinual setbacks on the lower river for lack of fuel at the height of the ship ping season and are compelled to stop and cut their own wood.
 It causes one to stop and smile to re- fleet on the stories of the knockers who went out from the Iditarod saving there would be no work here this fall and that men would be starving to death. Times were never better than they are right here this fall, and just for that reason men are turning their attention to other things than cutting wood. For this reason it begins to look like future wood shortage in this city, proposition not pleasant to contemplate in the teeth of the coast wind. A good man with an ax will find it much more profitable in the woods this winter than on the trail stampeding.

Bill Killed the Bar

Tanana Leader, Aug. II: William Lunn, at his wood camp three miles north of town, killed a big black bear at o'clock this morning. Mr. Lunn had been in town two or three days under the doctors care, and when he went out to camp yesterday he found the bear had broken into the tent and carried away lot of sugar, bacon and other supplies. That night the right ful owner of the grub slept with one eye open, and when the bear came back he shot him through the heart.
 Mir. Lunn had dispute with the same bear about six weeks ago. There was a footlog across the creek over which the man claimed jurisdiction and the bear contested the claim. Then the man knocked the bear down with an ax. That settled the matter until tho bear took advantage of MT. Lunn's ab- sence to commit robbery.

LIGHTHOUSE FOR
 WEARY MARINERS

Ill tacking up Richmond street these dark nights, it will undoubt- edly cheer the weary mariner to know that a new lighthouse has gone up on tue lee of the Bud weiser upon which he can fix his binoculars, especially if the going is heavy.
 Coming around Landahl point you will pick up the light immedi- ately, recognizing it by its circular and zig gag motion. If it is flash ing red you keep on going, but if it appears to have pyrotechnical ten dencies in violet hues. then you better keel haul the mizzen and 20 home. Running before the wind lookout for shoals near Cape Tele- phone, being sure to slack the poop-deck mains'l.

Ferguson Returns From Hunt

Armed to the teeth with an exploded shotgun, Dave Ferguson, that mighty hunter whose prowness has been noted in these columns heretofore, arrived from a trip to Dikeman last Sunday looking tired but modest. Later re- ports received from along the line of march point to a terrific slaughter of game and a general shattering of the game laws.
 Dave reports having killed a scow load of ducks and grouse, but the launch was compelled to leave it at No Cheer bar. He also killed several brace o1 orant, some swan, lovely bag Of pheasant, some beautiful mallards and a geiskootis. It appears the crew consumed these on the way up river.

SECOND PAYMENTS #* . 2n MADE ON BONANZA

With the payment by George Friend on behalf of his partners, Frank Law son and Bennett James of $s, 900 to 0. P. Goss and $2,50O to Pete Hansen, made on the first of the month, the Carter, Ferguson and McArdle option on half interest in the Bonanza as- sociation on Flat creek has been def nltely taken up, the balance Of the money to be paid next September.
 Friend and associates took lay on the upper 5000 feet of the ground, the conditions being that they would meet the second payments for the option holders. After prospecting the ground for over mouth, Friend found good pay there which apparently justified him in going ahead with the propo- sition, and such payments were duly made.
 The option was secured last winter from Goss and Hansen, each owning a quarter. Hansen's quarter was secured for Sl0,000 s2,500 being paid down, and $2, 800 on the first of this month. The balance is to be paid Sept. l, 1911. Goss sold his quarter for Sl75oo, receiving $2, loo down, s8,oOO the first of this month and the balance Sept. lst, 1911.
 In the balance of the property, Goss still holds quarter, while Monty Dow ming and John Lano still hold an eighth each.
 Besides Friend and partners, Roman. Monkman and Thorns have lay on the lower 1000 feet of the claim where ex- cellent pay has been found and where they are making preparations to open up next summer on a large scale.
 Mr. Goss is just departing for the Outside where he goes to enjoy the hesh-pots of etfete civilization, and where he has not been for the last 15 years, although fairly we'll civilized at that.

KUSK0KWIM REPORTS
 ARE GETTING BETTER

Last Wednesday Sam Sanderson, John Kirby, Jack Hanley and Brooks returned from the Smeaton & Larson strike on the Kuskok vim, re- porting that they had staked thirty miles of the country.
 This strike was noted in last weeks issue and is supposed to Do on the head of Black river, some l6 hours travel from Otter creek. 4C lays down the Kuskokwim from the Yukwonilnuk, and the pay creeks are apparently situ- ated about 1G miles across country from Julian creek. The reports are very favorable and many men are leaving for the new country.

D|KEMAN TOWN
 WANTS JUDGE

Word from the warehouse assem- blaze down the river is to the effect that the inhabitants thereof have sent petition to Judge Overheld asking for the appointment of a commissioner. Just why this off : cial is needed there Is not stated, except that they are desirous of having a saloon. In fact all appli cation for liquor license, fathered by Sam Dublin, is already on its way to Fairbanks.
 Come to think of it, there is no particular reason why they should not have a commissioner and a saloon, too, down there, for it will doubtless be very lonely through the long twilight hours of the com ing cold spaSm.
 The name of Ed J. Stier, form erly clerk of the district court at Fairbanks under Judge Wicker sham, has been suggested for com- missioner, and it seems probable that if the appointment is made, he will get it.
 Duncan Gillis is now acting as deputy marshal at that point, but it is understood that the appoint ment is only temporary. It may, however, be made permanent with the arrival of Marshal Love, who is expected here from the KuskoK vim i'll few days.

MACHINERY ORDERED
 FOR THE BONANZA

Firmly grasping time by the fetlock, Roman, Monkman and Thorns, laymen on the lower end of the Bonanza as- sociation on Flat creek, came into town last week to buy plant for winter de- livery, fearing that someone would get away with it while they weren't look ing. .-..t
 Things are looking very good to them on the Bonanza, and although they can't do much work there this winter, they wish to have the machinery in- stalled and ready for spring. They purchased a double-drum hoist and a scraping outfit and will take it to the diggings with the freezeup.

Jaffe Changes Plans

Filled with the news of Kuskok strikes, H. L. Jaffe, representative ot Robert Guggenheim in the Iditarod, is contemplating change in his plans in regard to going outside this fall, and may eventually take the trip by way of the Kuskokwim.
 He is now planning visit to the Yu- kwonilnuk and Black rivers, if the time will allow it, proceeding thence down the Kuskokwim and out the mouth by steamboat. He has not completed his party and does not yet know the date of his departure.
