DELINQUENT TAXES
 MUST BE PAID

During the council meeting last night Councillor Gardner call ed attention to the fact that none of the lawyers of the city had paid their taxes and that three newspapers: the Times, News Miner and Tribune also owed large amounts; and even Coun- cillors were behind in their tax es. He said that he was no enemy of the lawyers or news papers, but he thought they should come forward like men and pay up.
 After discussion and explana- tion from the city attorney as to the methods adopted with some of the delinquents, 1t was decid- ed that notice should be immedi- ately served upon all those who have not paid, and immediate action taken to recover such de- linquent taxes unless they come through
 Speaking for himself as a de linquent. Councillor Rappolt said that he wouldn't pay, as he was assessed too high an amount and the only way the council could get the money was to send the chiefof police to seize his prop erty.

WILL STAY IN THE NORTH

It has been the custom in past yea,s for the majority ot the labor CTS employed on the Copper River railroad to go outside upon the ap- proach oi winter and spend their earnings in the cities on Puget sound. All this is changing.
 Several oi the men who have been working on the railroad are so en- amored with the North that they have decided to make Alaska their permanent home. Parties have been organized which will devote their energies to prospecting in the future, while others have taken up land in the vicinity Of the Copper river and will engage ill farming and stock breeding.
 It is stated that quite superior class ot working men are arriving in Alaska this year, principally English speaking or from northern Europe

SHOULD BUILD A PERMANENT BRIDGE

ice nor by run of high water during the spring months.
 The present expenditure of eight thousand dollars every year is so much money thrown away Even if twenty thousand dollars were spent on a perma- nent suspension bridge above high-Water mark, that would only represent an expenditure of about 5000 per annum to cover interest, up-keep, and re demption of capital, and at the end of seven years the bridge would be paid for, and the only expense would be the upkeep, say S1, ,0OO or Sl, 300 per annum, This would represent an immed- fate saving of about s, ,0OO per annum, and an ultimate saving of over S6, 1000 each year, in ad- dition to the added inconven- fence of uninterrupted traffic the whole year through.
 The proposition is certainly worth considering.

seven and eight thousand dol lars per annum to replace the bridge after the break up, and maintain the structure in a fair state of repair. With mishaps such as the one which occurred last Saturday the expense will be considerably increased, and it may be that some time in the future the business of the town will be brought to a standstill while funds are being raised to reconstruct the bridge after a Washout.
 This state of affairs should not be allowed to continue. The city is now on permanent basis, and there is every possibility of increased prosperity in the fu- ture. It is imperative that com with the railroad and creeks should be interfered with as little as possible, and the only way to insure this is to build a bridge which will not be af- fected by the going out of the

WAG0N ROAD WANTED

Operators in the Chandlar dis trict have addressed a petition to Major Richardson asking that a wagon road be constructed from Fort Yukon to the Chand- lar.
 The petition points out that at present it costs 27 1-2 cents a pound to haul supplies from Fort Yukon to that place, which, of course, is too high to permit of development work on a large scale.
 It is expected that 100 tons of machinery and supplies will be needed to carry on the work al ready planned, and in order to transport this amount wagon road is a necessity.
 The petition is signed by 36 residents of the Chandlar dis tlict.

The trouble and inconvenience caused by the present method of bridging the river which div ides Fairbanks and Garden Isl and has been emphasized during the past week.
 After but a few days use the bridge was put out of cOmmis- sion by the flood, and several days must elapse before it can again be made available for traffic. Even then there is no guarantee against further mis- hap to the structure, and never will so long as the present meth cd of construction IS continued.
 It may have been advisable when the camp was in it's em- bryO state to erect a temporary structure; but now that the flu ture of the city is assured it is time that a more permanent bridge was erected.

MOUNT M'KINLEY FULL OF GOLD

Charley McGonigle says that during his recent trip to the sum- init of Mt. Mckinley, he encoun
 tered numerous rich-looking string CTS carrying gold The stringers were found such long way up, however, that McGonigle does not think that the gold will ever have commercial value. But gold has peculiar attraction for some peo- pie, and we should not be at all surprised to hear of a camp way up oil the slopes ol Mt Mckinley some some day in the near future.

GOOD DISPLAY OF QUARTZ

Martin A. Pinska is making a display of quartz from the Tolo- vana company's ground which is worth seeing by those who are in terested-that is to say it is worth seeing by everybody in Fairbanks. The exhibit contains several rich samples which are a treat to be- hold, and nobody should pass it up. There would be fewer sceptics about the future of this region if people only took the trouble to in- vestigate for themselves.

EVERYBODY IS DOING WELL
Principal Need of the KantiShHa Region at Present Time is Better and Cheaper Transportation Facilities --- Freight Charges Too High

Speaking to Citizen repre-. sentative yesterday, regarding the Kantishna country, Peter Anderson, of the Lloyd party, expressed himself as satisfied with the present outlook for that region.
 Several new finds have been made since last fall, and these are being actively worked this season. Very good prospects have been found in the upper and lower canyons of Moose creek, and also on Caribou creek.
 Glenn creek showed up very well last summer. There will be about eight prospectors working the creek this season. Moose, Glacier and Friday are also re ported as having pay.
 The workings so far have in yariably been shallow, and is worked by shoveIling in. On Moose, in the lower canyon, there is a small hydraulic proposition working. Not sin gle hole has ever been sunk to bedrock in thr locality
 Blliy Llos | ls nort4.r' un a quartz proposition on Eureka, and is said to have good pay. Mr. Anderson says that the prospects for quartz in the Kan tishna are very good indeed.
 The kantishna is an ideal country for the prospector. There is plenty of game and fish to be had, and plenty of tim ber for all purposes.
 Most of the mining and all the quartz so far located is above timber line, The ground is thaWed and can be worked with out machinery.
 Very little prospecting has been done in the kantishna dis trict so far; the principal draw back being the difficulty of get ting supplies into the country. Freight costs 3c d pound from Fairbanks to Glacier. There is a store at the latter place, but very small stocks are carried, so practically everything has to be imported direct from town.
 NIr. Anderson will be return ing to the KantiSha shortly.

2O-FOOT TUNNEL YIELDS S25OO
". ]. King Is Out Buying Options On All Available Claims On Third Tier of Upper GOIdstream---Is Said 10 Have Very GGOd Pay,

Following the report of the discovery of a new paystreal on the third tier of the upper end of GoldStreau, comes the news that W. | King has been ac- lively engaged in securing op tions on all available ground in that district
 Current rumor has it that in March last King uncovered some extremely rich pay on his claim which set him to thinking. He is stated to have plugged the hole up again, and kept quiet until he could secure op- tions on the adjoining ground.
 It seems that the gold found in the creek claims of GOldStream has almost invariably been con fined to those which adjoin the guIches, and it is now argued that what was thought to be the payStreak in the creek claims was only the sloughings brought down from the third tier by the gulches, and that the true pay. streak lies in the third tier, which lies immediately under the hill.
 As an example it is stated that No. @ creek claim, which lies just above Last Chance gulch has no pay, while No. lQ claim, at the mouth of the gulch has proved very good.
 The claim on the third tier which is crossed by Last Chance gulch is proving of eXtraOrdin- ary richness. It is stated au- thoritatiVeIy that S2, LOO was taken from this claim in a 2U- foot tunnel.
 Another instance Illustrating the above is that of the creek claims 13 and II. Both of these claims adjoined Glenn guIch, and both had good pay, while the claims next above them had lit tie to boast about.
 If the suppOsition is correct that the paystreak runs round the base of the hill, then all of the third tier claims should prove valuable.
 It is said that King gave S70OO for the Poker Dick property. WhereOn he made his find.
 Whatever may be found in the future on Goldstream, King must have good reason for be ing so anxious to secure options on the third tier, and in view of the theory advanced above, it is very likely that he hit the pay streak on his own claim in March last, and that it was so rich that he thought he would like a little more of the same kind.

THE CITY DOCK

The council has decided to in crease the rents of those using the city dock, and the clerk was instructed to collect the rents, with the exception of the rent due by the Independent Lumber company. In this case it was decided to let the matter lay over until Mr. Rutherford could place his views and suggestions personally before the council. It was decided to increase the rent of the tinshop to $50 a month.

4 NOTORIOUS JUDGE

A judge with an unenViable reputation is Judge Grosscup. This is the judge who became notorious by his decision in favor of the Standard Oil company against the people of Illinois, and now he comes forward to support the Santa Fe railroad against the telegraph CTS.
 The Illinois state law says that the telegraphers shall not work more than nine hours a day, but the company determined that the telegraphers should work these nine hours as broken time, when required by the company. Thus the company could make a man work two hours, lay him off for two or three hours, then work another two hours, and so on through the day.
 The telegraphers appealed against this ruling as against the state law as it was intended to be interpreted, and Judge Landis de- cided in their favor. This did not suit the railroad company, so they to Judge Grosscup, who decided that the men should work exactly as the company demanded.
 This decision means that the men will never have any spare time which they can call their own.

however, that they should meet next

Mrs. Cassidy looked up and saw the

her. Why, Tom, you're a great detec-

she had dark hair and dark eyes. You'll

looked at her son with pride.
Rosa became a frequent visitor at
the hospital, and Mrs. Cassidy grew
to love her more and more. The day
came when Mrs. Cassidy was to go
home. When Tom called for his mother
there was a troubled look on her face.
"Oh, Tom" she cried, I'VE won't see
Rosa any more!"
why not invite her TO dinner?" said
Tom, inwardly elated at the turn
things were taking.
"Why. that's good idea" replied
Mrs. Cassidy joyfully.
So Rosa was invited. She never
looked so pretty. She had taken spe-

best. After dinner Rosa helped Mrs.

ROSA'S LAST DAY--A STORY OF
NEW YORK CITY
IBY AGNES McCOYJ

q am so happy mother" said a
young girl of about IS, whose dark
eyes and dark hair proclaimed her a
daughter of sunny Italy. She was ~
ing in an old bed in a small room of
tenement in the crowded East side.
yes, mother, I'm so happy" she re
peated, as a scolding voice in the next
room was heard saying:
Hurry upa, Rosa. this is your last
day to playa da organ, anda We wanta
to make plenty of mon"
Eyes, father" she answered, I'll be
ready in a minute"
Soon the two were walking side by
side through the busy thoroughfares of
the city, pulling their organ after them.
It was 10 years since the Coluccis
came from Italy, and during that time
they had saved a snug little fortune by

furnishing street music. The father
wished to continue to do so.
NO, father" she often said, I'm
ashamed of it. It is Just like begging.
I would prefer working in a shop rath-
er than doing this work"
SO her father agreed that if she went
on that one day it would be for the
last time. The pennies came in thick
and fast, so that by y o'clock they had
quite q neat little sum. At noon they
sat down to their simple lunch of
cheese and bread. Thus they tray
eIed until night came on, and found
themselves far from home. ColIucci,
knowing this 10 be Rosa's last day as
a street musician. wanted to make as
much money as possible. So they
stopped before a saloon. Rosa went
in 70 collect the pennies while her
father played outside. Soon popular
airs Of the day filled the air. While
he was playing a gruff voice ex-
claimed:
Say, you WOp, don't you know it
is against the law to play a street
organ after 9 o'clock at night?"
COlluci looked up and before him
stood Policeman Cassidy, who had
been on the force some time and was
strict in the performance of his duty.
He was his mothers darling, being
her only child and her sole support.
She expected great things of him.
NO, NIeester Policeman, 1 not
know, me pOora man, me-
Cant help that, the law must be
upheld. I'll have to arrest you"
"Oh, father. what is the natter"
cried Rosa, emerging from the sa-
loon.
Both men turned and Cassidy was
struck with the beauty of the Italian
girl.
Very sorry" said Cassidy, coming
forward, Il must arrest this man for
playing after o.
oh" she pleaded, looking at the
policeman with tear dimmed eyes.

mo, can't" interrupted Cassi-
dy. and he hurried away with Col
Iuci.
Poor Rosa went home full of sor-
row. And she was so happy this
morning because it was to be her last
day. How many days would she
have worked not to have this happen
to her father. Her mother knew by
the look on her face that something
was wrong.
"Oh, mother" she sobbed, father

Tom, I'd just like to see her agin.
Just to thank her for being so kind.
Tom, you're smart and bright. You're
a good cop; see if you can't find her"
When Tom left his mother he smiled
to himself Mother certainly seems
struck with the little Jewess. But 1
wonder what mother takes me to be-a
genius to find a girl in this big city
with dark hair and dark eyes?" And
he quickly dismissed the matter from
his mind. 81 wonder what I'll do this
evening? I think I'll go to see Rosa
and tell her what happened"

excitement. when he related the inter
view he had with his mother.
