MINING NOTES

Although they are just stripping the ground preparatory to real sluicing, it is said that Craig and Britt, laymen on the Homestake association at the mouth of Flat, have been making expenses ill the gold that is caught from the waste.
 Finding the paystreak too light to bring them ill more than wages, King Brothers and Jules Spencer, laymen on the Wildcat association on Willow creek threw up the proposition some time ago and are now following other pursuits. MT. Spencer is assisting Karl Thiele who has large pool room at Dis covery City. while the King boys are working out a wood contract for Manley and Aiken.
 Contrary to belief, earlier in the season. the Willow paystreak did not pan out as desired, at least where they are working OH the right limit and several outfits have quit. Things are looking up on the left limit and new paystreak has been discovered.
 Tom Maher and Jim Hagen are in from Flat creek while the pros. pecting goes merrily on out on Flat on the claims below the Glen where Tom Aiken recently took a. lay and where Greg Stewart is work ing. Ed Britt, Maher's partner, is now on his way to Fairbanks.

John Dun can and bis associates acted Ill the role of hosts, and when i. became apparent that the building was hardly large enough to hold the crowd of merrymakers they were more tickled about 1t thau any body.
 In addition to the music which was furnished by Bourret and Drake, there were good eats and plenty of punch. Tie floor was simply dream, as described by one of the ladies present, and 1t is al leged that seven carpenters fell down when they started 10 resume building operations ill the place next day.
 Dancing continued with una bated zeal until about three o'clock of the morning. but it was only toward the last that one had room for successful operations, free from treading feet and proddiug elbows.
