DENSMORE IS BADLY FROZEN

Word to the effect that Pete Dens. more. an old-time resident of this camp had lost both his hands and one foot by freezing near St. Mich ael was brought by the last lower river mall. It is known that he was caught in blizzard while on his way to the koyukuk country, but the details of the occurrence are lacking. Densmore is now in the post hospital at St Michael.
 Densmore is marine engineer by profession and has been employ ed on several of the N. A. T. X T. company boats. He also worked in Fairbanks for John Barrack. Three years ago he helped build small side-wheel boat which he, with several others, took into the Koyu- kuk country.

REAGAN IN SERIOUS TROUBLE

Charged with rape upon the per son of Violet Meyers, William Req gan, the Second avenue tailor, was on Tuesday indicted by the grand jury. The girl is the daughter of Mrs. Gussie Meyers, who at one time was in the employ of Reagan. The indictment charges that the crime was committed on March 8 last. The witnesses examined by the grand jury were Dr. Emil Pohl, Mrs. Meyers, and Violet Meyers. It is alleged that the girl is under sixteen years of age.
 Reagan was arrested immediately after the return of the indictment and lodged in the federal Jail. He was arraigned in the afternoon and on Friday he entered a plea of Not Guilty" No bail will be al lowed in the case.
 Reagan has hitherto enjoyed an excellent reputation in the camp and his friends were dumbfounded when they heard of the charge pre- ferred against him.

DUNBAR AND NEWMAN BACK

Dave Dunbar and Sam Newman, the Seattle travelling men, returned to the camp on Friday after having made a flying trip to the Iditarod with dog teams guided by Jack Phillips and Tommy King. On ac- count of the length of time it took to make the trip down, 23 days, it was only possible for the drummers to remain ten days in the lower camp.
 Regarding the trip down river the two men, who are old-time Nsrtherners, have much to say that is lucid, and also lurid. If one-tenth part of what either Sam or Dave says Is true 1t surely was one peach of a trip and they are to be commiserated with on the in adequacy of polite diction to prop erly express their experience. Si- washing five nights was only de- tail and Dave claims that even the sight of a dog makes him nervous.
 Regarding the Iditarod and the Kuskokwim they say there is noth- ing new to relate. The latter dis trict has not shown up according to expectations and little new pay is reported
 Both the men will leave here for the Outside in the course of few days.

CITY PHYSICIANS $
 REPORT
SAVING OF NEARLY THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
 THE PAST YEAR.

That there has been substantial reduction effected during the past year in the city physicians depart ment Is evidenced by the report rendered on Friday night by Dr. McCallum to the city council. The report in full was as follows: ITO the Honorable City Council of
 the town of Fairbanks:
 "I wish to present a statement of the poor and hospital expenditures of the past year.
 Pursuant to the policy of re- trenchment you inaugurated, and acting under your instructions, l have endeavored to curtail the ex- penditure as much as possible and still not deny medical treatment to any person in need of 1t or in sore distress.
 The combined total of our poor and hospital accounts amounts to s2 500, which is considerable re- duction under that of former years; he same total last year amounting to s5,544. difference of nearly s3OO0.
 "A threatened epidemic of diph- theria materially increased our ex- penditure. Five cases occurred, some being followed by very severe after effects, and 1t is rather pro- bable that some cases will occur this summer, as cur means of iso- lation and disinfection were far from perfect.
 "Of the supply of anti'oxin which YOU secured from the Outside, an ample supply remains to meet any emergency that may arise. The cur alive powers of this antitoxin are guaranteed by the manufacturers for another year. Our milk. water and ice supply seems to be remark ably pure. as only two cases of typhoid fever occurred in the whole valley during the past summer; but the two cases were of marked se- verity. There have been no com plaints regarding the quality of meat supplied.
 "It is still to be regretted that no federal aid can be obtained for the care of our unfortunate sick and injured. and the amount of charitable work done by our hos nitals during the past year has been immense. and the outlook for the future is dreary. A federal dona- tion of s5.000 to each hospital would help matters wonderfully. In Daw- son the government st'll grants each hospital 1000 per annum for the care of such patients.
 q may add that the amount of private charitable subscription work here Is enormous and reflects the wonderful generosity of the people of the Northland

TANANA, March 16. - E. P. Al lard left on next to the last trip of the season with the koyukuk mail yesterday. He arrived at Panama Sunday night.

PAY ON DISCOVERY
 FISH GREEK
CHARLES FISHER IS REWARDED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF
 ENDEAVOR.

After chasing the elusive pay streak for nearly eight years on Fish creek. Charles Fisher. the own CT of Discovery claim, fell on to 1t last Wednesday and now has 35 feet of drift in which shows pay which will go s115 to the foot at each end Most of the prospecting done by Mir. Fisher on the claim. and he has sunk nine holes. has been done on the left limit. but the pay located Wednesday was on the right limit
 The pay was found in the very first shaft bedrocked, and thereby hangs a tale This hole was sunk by two men hired for Mir. Fisher when he was absent from the claim. On his return he asked the men If they had found anything and they informed him that they had never bothered to pan. He descended the shaft and took a pan from the bottom and banned 1t and got a skunk. but he did not notice at the time that the men had sunk into bedrock about nine inches. The rest of his prospect shafts were sunk over to the left limit and it was only when he was convinced there was nothing in that direction that he made up his mind to drift from the first shaft The first pan he took gave eight cents and five pans gave 24 cents. Drifting has shown the pay consistent and even for the 8 feet so far driven.
 This is the only pay located so far between below and above. but 1t is now hoped that it will be possible to line it up both ways. From ? above the pay Is continuous to 10 above, with the exception of above, while the pay has also been found on and s below. The depth varies on Fish from IS to 40 feet

 After carefully going over some important matters it was decided to call for mass meeting of deposi. tors and all who are directly or in- directly interested That means pretty nearly everybody in Fairbanks and on the creeks.
 The Auditorium has been given, free of charge, for this meeting. and another large hall has been placed at the disposal of the depositors.
 This is not intended as "woman's meeting. The women do not mind in the least, the few smiles that may be seen on some faces, if they can accomplish something
 The mass meeting was decided upon as the only way in which the full findings of the depositors com mittee can be put before the people. as well as other matters, and the depositOrs given an opportunity to express their opinions and wishes.
 There will be no hearsay evidence put before them. Nothing but facts and figures, which will prove very enlightening. The meeting was put eff until Wednesday that all interest. ed persons may have the opportun- ity of getting in from the creeks.
 If ever there was time when the public needed to get together, to see whether law and order can do any. thing for them, now, when the grand jury have ended their labOrs. Bar nette has finished his grand stand play about securities, and We know just what We are up against" Now certainly Is the time.
