HENDERSON & LARSOH
 CLOSE FOR WRITER

Henderson & Larson, laymen whc have been operating two plants-one al 1-B. Otter and the other on the Fox as sociation on. Flat creek-have closed down for the winter, finding them selves hampered by lack of proper ma chinery.
 The Otter creek plant was cooled of some ten days ago while the Flat creek operations ceased early last week with small cleanup.
 On Flat creek they have been both cred by the lack of proper facilities for handling the sluice-robbing clay tha, rolls through the boxes taking about half the gold into the tailings. They have excellent ground there, however, and with the installation of proper ma chinery will open up on large scale next spring. In the meantime they will devote their attention to wood.
 Instead of closing down completely the "Guggs" on the Wildcat associa- tion on Flat creek have simply laid of the night force, and will continue tc sluice for some time.

THEY WILL RACE WITH
 THE ADVAHCIhG SEASON

There will be a merry race on Flat and Otter creeks this fall between cer- tain of the operators and Old Man Winter, who, according to his latest declarations, intends to give the min CTS a run for their money.
 Old Boreas overheard Doc Mading at the head of Flat, and Riley & Stetzer, ou 1-Above Otter, declare that they in tended to sluice until the first of No- vember. He also saw a piece in the paper to the effect that Lynn & Nel- son, on 2-B. Glen, on Flat creek, in tended to keep the water running over the rifles all winter. This last news made the old man hostile, for he had a session with Lynn last winter on Ready Bullion creek in the Fairbanks district, and Lynn made him look like a selling platter.
 Therefore he called out Aurora to put on lhe bright lights while he went into the refrigerator for some fresh ozone, and he has been sending it along ever since.
 The old man hasn't been getting any weaker these late years, but the min CTS have been getting wiser, and they have new dope on how to play ball though the bleachers are empty. In other words, they can keep water run ming when Winter has everything else frozen tighter than the tightest wad in Tightville.
 Wherefore it is expected that Doc Mading will have about four more cleanups. Riley may have three, while Lynn & Nelson may keep going all winter. In this manner it is expected that since the last shipments, there will be S200,0O before January.
