 traced to it's since every citizen interviewed pressed ignorance of the existence purpose of such committee.
 It later rumored that this alleged committee of citizens had wired Judge Overheld Fairbanks, asking for investigation of the commissioners and the marshas offices hee apparently the theory that these officers had been responsible for the trouble that had occurred As part of this said that money had been raised to send Joe Green to Fairbanks the champion of Id arods down trodden and peace loving citizens.
 The telegram from Brown to Judge Maltby is the first authortve information received by this paper that there such committee hut just who they are and why Joe Green Is the spokesman is still matter of perplexity.
 Upon being interviewed, Commissioner Maltby ad mitted that be had heard such and submitted the above eegams proof of the fact that word of kind had been sent to Fairbanks.

 As stated heretofore. the management of this paper has been ignorance of the fact that investigation of the commissioners the marshas office is wanted here learned through unsubstantiaed rumor, but if such thing desired the Idarod Pioneer takes unequvocal stand in favor of it also only to vndcae the honest clean and impartial administration of justice that has been the lot of this district since Commissioner Maltby and Deputy Marshal Donovan into office here but also determine finally whether not the desirable element oi this towns citizenship will control its destinies.

SAND ON TRACK
 FOR THIS DEAL

Unconcluded negotiations which may yet reach court have developed on the head of Flat creek, where the attempted transfer of the Edgar and Mclean lay or the rich Ayi- mer fraction to John Mckay and Peter Hotts has been held up by Manley and Aitken, and other owners, and where Aitken as at torney for Manley has served notice that the new lay claimants will not be recognized.
 The deal has been pending for some time since it was known that the owners of the Marietta were anxious to acquire the Edgar and Mclean lay after they had dis covered rich pay, The laymen wanted s2o, 900 for turning over their 500 feet to Manley and Ait ken, including their machinery. The negotiations reached no con- cluding point as the purchasers would not come quite up to this sum.
 A short time ago, it is said, Edgar & Mclean found purchasers in Mckay and Hotts who were willing to come up to the figure asked and who would also make satisfactory arrangements concern ing the machinery.
 This, it seems started the trouble for it is alleged that Aitken, repre- senting Manley. refused to agree to the transfer, as did also Harold Seddon and associates, owners of the Wildcat who are also interested in fraction of the Aylmer.
 AS last resort it is said that Edgar ard Mclean have entered into an agreement with Mckay, whereby Mckay is to take active management as foreman of their lay under salary. He to conduct the work on the Aylmer, while his partner Hotts, looks after things on their other lay on the Glen as- sociation.
 Edgar and Mclean are contem- plating a trip Outside and will probably leave as soon as all mat ters are straightened out.

FIRST TRIAL 0F
 WICKERSHAM BILL

The affairs of the Narkle, Slater and Futile venture on the Celene fraction on Otter creek are in merry muddle, and it is possible that several jurists will be called upon before things are finally strengthened out. The filing of one miners lien started the trouble and now there so many that it begins to look as though somebody is bound to lose.
 Roy Bigham, the attorney, gave the initial push when he brought suit for wages on behalf of T. Dixon and Aram Kiddi. He asked for. an attachment against the gold in the rifles and got it. The marshal served the attach, ment and cleaned up the gold, placing the same, to the amount of something over 5000 in the hands of the com missioner.
 Following this proceeding, a number of other claimants got busy, with the result that they all filed liens and then interyened in the suit started by Big ham. The original suit is entitled T. Dixon and Abram Kiddi vs. Markle, Futile and Slate. c. A. Celene, Wm. Leggett and Wm. Davenport.
 There are II intervenors and their names and amounts they claim are as follows: Martin Moran, S479; Stephen Sweeney, S239; E. W. Mongan s479; Jacob Jensen, $21S.50; Fred Smith, Sl95,75; Frank Robertson, Sl73; Sam Argentier, Sl73; Joe Steiner, S291. 75; Jerry Lopes, SS0; Chas. Purdy, s136. 25; Mrs. Chas. Slater, S1, ,572.50

DELTk'S PASSENGERS
 FINALLY ARRIVE HERE

After a trip brim full of hard luck about 25 people arrived in this city Friday. most of them coming from the Outside. They reached Dikeman Wednesday on the Delta, which had taken them from the Susie near the mouth of the Yukon, where that packet had sprung boiler plate. Be- fore that they were compelled to lay off Unimak Pass several days on account of fog, and when the Susie broke down they were. held at the mouth of the Yukon about five days until the Delta came to their assistance.
 The launch Helen M. brought 23 of them to this city, and some came on the Fran. The Helen M. also brought 20 sacks of mail which represented a long ac- emulation at Holy Cross.
 In addition to her passengers the Delta brought 275 tons of freight to Dikeman, part of the cargo being 25O cases of eggs for which the town has been waiting with open arms.
 The passenger list is as fol lows: Roy Fairbanks, Mrs. J. McDowell, Blanch Harris, MT. Babel, MT. Slighter, John Will son, Oscar Eckert, A. Sterne, Pearl Squares, Miss Nest, MT. Knight, Chas.

Gil Bates, the Otter creek operator, was a visitor in the city during the early part of last week.
 N. Jafa, the Flat creek merchant, was in the city last Monday.
 Lon Doggett, of Otter, spent several days in the city last week.
 Bob Hart returned last week from the Smeaton & Larson strike on Cari- b0u creek, on the Kuskokwim side. Snow gulcb is looking up better than any of them, but good prospects are being found on Donlon. Mir. Hart will return as soon as possible with pros pecting boiler.
 Sam Godfrey, representative of Grif- fin & Baird, has just returned from a tour of the kuskokwim strikes and pronounces them all to the good con- sidering the amount of work that has been done. He thinks Snow gulch is carrying the money.
 Ed. J. Stier, formerly clerk of the district court at Fairbanks, and re- gently connected with one of the inde- pendent shipping outfits at Dikeman, is in Iditarod city, looking over the situa- tion. He says that he has definitely declined the office of United States commissioner at that point.
 J. B. Mading, father of Doc Mading, the Flat-creek operator, accom- panied his son into the city last week to make arrangements for his trip to the Out side. He believes in resting up 8 spell after the strenuous prospecting of the last season.
 Claude Shea and Casey Jones made a twelve-hour hunt down river last week with gasoline boat and returned Tuesday night with l2 fine large geese to their credit. They report the geese more plentiful than ducks at this time.
 Shorty" Davenport, proprietor of the Discovery bunkhouse on Otter creek, has sold his place that he might join the Kuskokwim stampede. The building was taken over by Geo. Riley who will use 1t for bunkhouse in con- nection with his mining operations on IA.
 For the purpose of taking one more hurried look at the Iditarod before leaving for Europe, Duncan Michie, the well-known banker and mining man of Dawson and Fairbanks, came to Idit- arod City last week and is now looking over the creeks. He was here early in June and at that time closed ont some interests which were not lookino too encouraging. According to present plans he will leave in short time to visit his folks in Scotland

 He is one of the two three prospectors who have had the advantage of small prospecting boilers, and with his outfit he sunk seven holes on Raney creek Here he found excellent prospects, but not what he considers pay. The creek itself lays about 50 miles above Lttle the Iditarod and is about 20 miles long The ground varies in depth from IS to 25 feet and from the character of the dirt found, he is firm believer in the future of that creek.
 On Little creek stream 15 miles long, they have found bedrock at Is feet and deeper, Harry Buhro with small boiler, sunk 45 feet without strk ing bedrock that creek, and compelled to pend operations while he went to the Innoko to look after business.

 From Georgetown the provisions be brought up by polling boats to both of the mining districts. Still
 is deemed possible that much of the winter supplies will be taken the trail from this city after the reezeup since practical trail can be negotiated from here.
 It is also said that both Commissioner Green and Deputy Marshal Sebe have arrived Georgetown where upon looks though there will be something doing there in the of town before flies.
