Jerry Ford Lands
 on the Good Stuff

Finding himself staked in on one of the new claims on Happy where Bill Deetering is just con- mencing to shovel in, Jerry Ford, the we'll known roadhouse pro- prietor of the Hot Springs dis trict, is here to look after his in- terests and get more if possible.
 MT. Ford is associated with E. R. King, Jerry Donovan; Pete Ryden and Charles Totland in the ownership of the Summit as sociation, at the extreme head of Happy creek, where some excel lent pay has recently been dis covered.
 Deetering w. Sam Clark and Donnelly have lay on 1000 feet of this six claim association, which lays along the hillside above the timber line and where the ground is only 7 and 8 feet deep with pay from the moss. It pans 5 and 10 cents, and is fig ured at better than S2 to the foot. The laymen began shoveling in Friday.

Now For Those Glad Rags

With the opening of three new clothing stores during the last week the chances for the roughneck and the city dresser have just about tripled within the space of a few hours. Ike Bayles is handing out hats at the new store of Isaacs Bros. & Co. on First avenue. MT. Rome is looking complacently through the large windows of the Boston Clothing company, which has just gone into the new building on the corner of First and Willow, while Friedman is hanging up some very nifty cravats ill his brand new store next to the Northern hotel on First street.
 All these business houses have been handing out to the trade here during tne summer and are among the pioneers of the camp. The re- cent changes were merely incident to the main issue of getting into winter quarters.
 At Frledman's and Isaacs the handiwork of La France, architect and contractor is much i'll evidence, for it appears that this clever house builder IS there with the goods.

CEN. KLAUS AGAIN
 OPENS HIS FACE

ing camp of 1ditarod, lured by false and exaggerated reports of a gold strike of fabulous richness that ever existed, is told by General Marion P Maus, con- manding officer of the Department of the Columbia, who returned to Van couver barracks late last night after a trip of inspection of army posts in Alaska.
 So acute is the distress among the population of the camp that Gen. Maus declares government aid probably will have to be invoked to bring many of the penniless men out before the win ter season is over. Iditarod itself, as an colorado where treasure awaits only to be picked up, is a mistaken fallacy. Gen. Maus busted the bubble of it's re- puted richness by saying that he doubts if more than Sl50,000 will be taken from the whole camp this year
 So serious does Gen. Maus consider the condition of those in Iditarod, whose destitution has been caused chiefly by the false reports sent ont, that he intends to have every future report of gold strike that comes out of Alaska by military telegraph in- vestigated that the true facts may be found and stated.
 II examined the Iditarod camp and made a map of it and the Innoko river from Yukon to Iditarod City, and to
Iditarod pioneer., 1910-09-04

The further Brig Gen. M. P. Maus moves away from the Iditarod, the worse he gets. So wrought up is B. Gen. Maus about the awful suffering 2 and Restitution now going on here that he is about to order special depart ment of the military telegraph, whose business it will be to investigate all alleged strikes" that may be properly reported to the confiding ones outside.
 It will be remembered that Gen. Maus visited the Iditarod for six hours late in June. He walked to Second avenue and from Richmond to Willow. He borrowed a map of the townsite and one of the creeks and then went mer, rily on his way. Since arriving on the Outside he has spilled over several times, but the last and best effort ap. pears in the Portland Oregonian, where he reports that hundreds are suffering and frightful Restitution exists here all of which is cheering news to our friends Outside. There have been many good artists with the hammer but Gen. Maus has them all beaten tc a stiff frappe. Here is part of what he has to say to the Oregonian:
 VANCOUVER BARRACKS, Wash. July 21.-(Special, "A story of miser- able poverty and destitution among hundreds of disappointed gold-seekers who have rushed to the Alaskan min.
Iditarod pioneer., 1910-09-04

within eight miles of Otter creek, where gold was discovered" said Gen. Maus late last night.
 'In Iditsrod and vicinity are between 2000 and 2500 persons. The town is a miserable site. Nearly all over the place there is mud up to one's knees. There is nothing there in the way of accommodations.
 Poor and scanty meals cost Sl.50. Many there are in absolute destitute condition. They cannot secure employ ment, for there is none for them. l will be greatly surprised If large number are not taken out before the winter is over by the government, or other charitable means.
 'On the way to Iditarod I saw hun. dreds going who had little of anything. When they reached Iditarod they could get no work and practically became public charges.
 II intend to have every report that comes out of Alaska by the military telegraph lines investigated in order to have the true facts stated. False re- ports hurt Alaska and they should not be made. They hurt the people there and cause embarrassment Many old miners seems to have been bitten by this report of the richness of Iditarod.

Is This the Port
 Of Missing Men ::

Two more inquiries have come from other lands where anxious ones wait fo- news from the frozen North, news that they have waited for as weeks, months and years have gone by. Earnest Renaud and Otto Meyer have been swal- lowed up in the forgetfulness of Alaska. while a niece and sister wonder if they are still among the land oi the living.
 From Johnson, Arizona, comes an inquiry directed to the post master of Iditarod City, asking for information concerning Earnest Renaud, known as "Reno.' The writer is Mrs. Nellie Renaud Lemons, postmistress at Johnson, and she says sue has heard no word from her nephew for long time.
 Another letter has been received from Mrs. Bertha Zoepfel of I523-W Billow avenue, St. Louis, Mo. She inquiries for Otto c. Meyer, for nerly of Candle. where he was To- cated three years ago, and where he was possessed of mining prop erty. His sister has heard nothing of him since that time, but the family would greatly like to bear from him on account of important business considerations.
 Accompanying the letter are two annotations by postmasters at Candle and Fairbanks. According to these, Meyer left Candle two years ago and also left forwarding address at Fairbanks ou May ISth, 1910, directing his mail to Otter creek. He is doubtless i'll this dis trict at the present time. Word of either et these men should be sent to the addresses given.

 Among the party were John Ol- son, Wm. Rose, J. J. Kelly, J. J. Hennessy, w. Davis, w. H. Will son, D. Bauman and w. J. Wid- man, and they are headed for the new strikes.

Old Timers Strike
 For New Fields

Convinced that the reports from the upper Iditarod need thorough investigation, Jack Merritt, John Beaton, C. B. Mcdowell, o. San ders, A, Ruby and MT. McGrath, among them being the first pioneers and tue discoverer of the country, departed Friday afternoon on the launch Lois for Rainey and Little creeks about I5o miles up and near the head O. the river.
 Sanders and Rudy are taking q 9 months supply ot grub, but the balance of the party intend to re- turn as soon as they have had time to investigate conditions. If the finds warrant it, they will inn mediately outfit for the winter and return.
 MT. Merritt, who has been partner with Dates Bros, Mckenzie and Merritt on IA Otter, has sold out his interests to the Bates Bros. and third parties, as did also MT. Mckenzie. He has closed out all his holdings here, but has many stakes around the country that need a close inspection.
 Some of the party have been there before, and are strong be- lievers in- the future ol that section of the country. It is probable that they will have much interesting news to tell when they return.

 The two former laymen had done con- siderable work on this ground since early last spring, and are believed to be in line for an excellent opencut proposition.
