We are having weather of every

May Is, about fifteen inches of snow
fell. The first four or five inches
melted as fast as it came down but in
the morning there were some ten inch

appeared under the influence Of the
warm summer breezes. On Friday
night the Goth inst. it began lightning

on Saturday they were surprised to find
mother earth again robed with man
tie of snow. 1t has been showing hard

MARTIN HARRAIS RETURNS

Martin Harrais returned from his trip to the states during the week, looking the picture of health, and bringing with him further assurances of continued prosperity to this section.
 While in the states MT. liar rais visited various places in Washington, Oregon and Cali fornia, getting expert opinion on mining matters and collecting data which will be of value in running the customs mill.
 It will be remembered that AIr Harrais took a sack of quartz samples with him to the states. They aroused consider able interest among the experts. Alr. HarraiS carefully explained that they were prospects only, because at the time of his de parture comparatively little work had been done. The qual- ities of the ores were carefully tested, 2nd there is every reason to hope that they represent some very valuable finds. One sample in particular was sub mitted to geological expert in California, who expressed his conviction that it could only have come from q true Assure vein For obVious reasons MT Harrais does not wish to name the property from which this specimen was taken.
 In company with an old Mexi- can guide, Mr. Harris visited some of the scenes of the excit- ing "days of 10" Some of the richest spots were pointed out by the guide, and it was a most interesting journey, The old dumps are still in evidence, al though now covered with trees and other vegetation. Immed- lately adjoining these old placer diggings Mr. Harrais saw two prosperous quartz mines in op- eration-the Mt. Gaines and the Ruth Pass.
 Mir. Harrais left for the creeks on Thursday, and is expected back tonight or tomorrow.

C|TY HAS FIXED
 RATES

Towards the close of last nights session of the city coun- cil, Councillor Rappolt called at tention to the fact that the ques- tion of the rates had not been settled, and he thought that there had been sufficient delay
 \ very long discussion theR enSued regarding a schedule of water rates presented for accept ance by Councillor Driscoll This schedule was practically the same as the one already in use, with the exception of the rate for standing pressure, which the \. C. company had agreed to cut from $500 to $500.
 The schedule was not accept able to Councillors Gordon, Rap polt and Callahan, who pressed for 8 lower rate.
 Ir the end it was decided to ask Mir Richmond to come be- fore the council, which he did about l0:2O.
 Mir. Richmond listened to talk of the council for a bit and pre- sented comparative figures re garding the prices paid in DaW- son (Sl7,300), Nome tSl2, ,O00 a year) and Fairbanks (S7, 200 a year). As no figures were pre- scented refuting his statement or proving that the x. c. charges were more than reasonable, a majority of the council decided to accept the rates offered, and thus closed a long-drawn- out dis cussion The city saves S20O a month on it's old rate.

SCHMIDT AND SCHItK DROWNED

Alec Chapman and r. McGuire, who have been prospecting on Beaver rlver believe that they are justified in thinking that Schmidt and Schiek, formerly of Dome. were drowned ill that river last month.
 They state that the two men left their camp in a poorly constructed canvas boat, bound for a point where SChiek had previously found good prospects. They were warned by Chapman and his partner not to make the attempt that early in the season, as the upper river had not gone out, and in any case the liver was difficult one to navigate, even under most favorable eci.curnstances
 Schmidt and Schiek, however, would not be argued out of their trip. \ little later the dog they had taken with them returned to Chapman $ camp, bruised and bleed ing, and it was evident that the two men had met with some mishap, and probably lost their lives among the ice foes of that stream at the time of the breakup.
 Both men were well-known in Fairbanks and the north generally.
