NSERVATlON OF GAME-ANO
 MEAT PRICES.

in few weeks everybody will know that Fairbanks has only one meat market. for by that time one of the stores operated by the meat combine will he closed and all of the business conducted under one roof. Most people know that this combine has been actually operative for long time past. and that fer years an understanding in regard to prices has existed between the two concerns
 When this merger has been open ly effected il will be apparent 10 the dullest intellect that residents of he camp. if they want domestic meat. must pay the price demanded by the trust" or go without. for they will be entirely at the mercy of the combine.
 Prices Of meat in Fairbanks have alm.st invariably been too high. ranging very considerably out of proportion with those charged in Dawson The only times they have been lowered have been during the season when game was being drought into town or some prlyate shipper had put small stock on ;ha market
 II may be that the reorganiZed market proprietors intend to see 10 it that exorbitant prices are to be relegated to the past. and they may have made up their minds that fair dealing with the public is to be their rule. We hope that this is so, but the almost universal his they are to be trusted not to err on the philanthropic side Hence it is always safe to have something 10 fall back on in an emergency.
 There is only one certain way by which the people of Fairbanks can be assured of having. for the great CT part of the year. quite reasonable meat prices: and that is through an amendment to the present crazy game law that applies in the terri tory. If this were so changed as to permit hunters to go into the hills and kill as many moose and caribou and other game as they could mar ket. the domestic meat prices would be kept within bounds and the peo- ter fed The depreciation in the game would be so small as to be

There now seems to he no fur ,h,r reason to doubt that the Gug geuhcims intend To purchase Flat yreek and probably Otter. in the buying. The deal has been hinted Jr in the press in Outside dispatch es. for several months and recent developments on the ground itself preclude nHther doubt that il is 10 be pur through.
 An article takeI from the Iditarod Pioneer appears in this issue and from it il will be seen that The in cvirable is being accepted as grace fully a~ possible although it is real ized tha' beyond this summer the lu1nre ,t lh" camp is q matter of he "raukcs, conjecture
 The absorpri~u of these two creeks by he Guggenheims almost certainly means the death of the towns of Flat and Iditarod City from Ihc independent merchants stand point. for there does not appear to he @'her creeks on which pay has been found sufficient ro keep either

ALASKA MAY HAVE
 NEW INDUSTRY
LONELY STRANGER IS PROSPEC- TING COAST AT KNIGHTS
 ISLAND FOR SpONGES.

VALDEZ May | Harry Moore returned from down near Knights Island this week and reports that there has been a representative of an Eastern syndicate down there for several months Whe is doing some prospecting in a new line He is not alrcr copper. neither k he looking for gold He does not care when the coal is opened, neither is he hunting for radium His k a pecu- liar search. He is prospecting on The bottom of the sea fer spongeS' Yes. and beautiful silk sponges, too
 A year or SO ago Dr. Boyle SC cured one fl these spcnges and sent il back to an Eastern company, who pronounced il an excellent quality U silk sponge something quite rare.
 This company cut the correspond cnce very short and the doctor heard no hing more of them. but few Iii .nths altcrWard a young man ap- peared on the scene and commenced prospecting - not in the hills but in the bottom Of the sea His cut ii" was a peculiar one. for he has an electric light that he puts un- der the water ill some way that makes the surface visible. enabling him to locate all the sponges that may be there. He has launches and many tools and leads a seClud- ed life All his explorations are made quietly and he has nothing to say concerning his business or who he represents.
 II is reported that he is meeting with wonderful success and that the industry will prove 10 be one of considerable importance.
 Several parties have often seen the man. but supposed he was fish ing and made no effort to ascertain the particulars of his secluded life. Daily Miner.

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

little more than year ago there was an exodus from Fairbanks to the Iditarod of such proportions that many of those leaving were would be camping in the old town in the course of year, and even some of those who stayed behind were full of foreboding when they surveyed the empty store buildings and residences.
 Today very different prospect is opening out. There is an air of prosperity Cn every side and hardly anybody evidences any desire to get away. On the creeks there is q job for every man who wants to work and there are few idle men in town. A big strike is reported at a point much nearer than the Idit- arod and not more than dozen men think il worth while to go and investigate it.
 On Second ayenue. where few vacant, it is hard now to find an empty one. and many of the build ings have been improved. Quite number of cabins have been rented or bought lately. and there is good reason 10 believe that il will be just as hard to find cabin to rent in a month or two as it was in the days of the camps greatest pros perity.
 Every indication points to good times ahead

CORE DRILL HERE
 BY JULY 1O

On one f the first boats from St Michael there will arrive he Davis Calyx diamOudlesS core drill ordered by the Fairbanks Core Drill X Mining company. and there Is no doubt that its advent will stimulate the quartz prospecting To very great degree. For this drill has been demonstrated by hard experience 10 he wonderful labor saver when 1t ccmes to the opening up Of mineral properties.
 The Davis-Calyx has long out grown the experimental stage and in all of irs workings il has never encountered substance II could not cut at q paying rate and it has earned the reputation of doing Its work at cost of 20 10 5O per cent lower than any ether known method
 The dril ordered will remove a core. in quartz. of 3is inches in di- ameter and in placer workings one of 5 inches in diameter. and it will sink to q depth of 500 feet II is claimed that ii will remove per feet core of any diameter, in any material. from any depth. The cutter will work al any angle. where the rock K suitable for its use and there is absolutely no danger ot hole being lost through damned drill tools
 The company has sold only 5.ooo shares of its stock. sufficient to pay for the first drill and the cost of its operation for some time More stock will he put on the market when il is determined to order second drill Already a number of property hold CTS have made arrangements for having their ground tested by this method and il k expected rhe drill will be kept busy this summer

IDI1AROD CITY. May 27 There was a slight furry of interest on Richmond street last Wednesday af- ,ernoou when Councilman Barnes abandoned the abstract and go. down To the concrete in the clearing of thc ~o-callcd Barren X Levin lot which they occupied during last fall and winter against the protest of public sentiment When they were cleaned out by the fire. the council determined tu keep the street clear and to Dha' end Councilman Barnes put d man 10 work lC gather up the debris
 Assistant District Attorney Clegg. counsel for Barrett & Levin who occupied their building at the time of the fire and who represents their interests here. went firth and order ed the maA away. claiming that the ground is under the sacred protec- ton of lis pondens. and that no ruthless hand shall disalrange its ruinoUs surface until the court has had its final say.
 Hearing that his man had been fired without his consent. Barnes became exceedingly wroth and went right down to move the debris him self He said that the council mad directed him to keep the street clear and he intended to do it.
 Clegg. apparently. found only one or two trumps in his hand, so he passed and went after q camera. As Barnes sweated and tugged al the charred timbers, Clcgg calmly focused him on the senstized plate and the negatives will doubtless be- come famous in legal forum at later date

RECIPROCITY DRIFT.

The game as whole. is split into several camps In Canada the CanuCks are divided into Liberal and Conservative bands. each desperately intent on following out the partisan lines In the Unit ed States. the two sides are fight ing il out with the house of con gress already strongly on record for the measure. the senate in doubt but suspiCiously against the pact. and Taft clamorng for the deal. In Britain political forces in parliament are doing all the long distance can nonading they can do to influence Canada. Some smaller guns are be- ing fired by France, Germany and a few other nations which think they can foresee trade disadvantages and horizon.

BLACK COTTON AND ROSES
Vegetation Freaks Will Be Exhibited
at the State Fair BY Macon
Man Named Tapley.


An exhibit which promises to at
tract much interest during the COM
ing state fair is that arranged for
yesterday, which will consist of
black, brown and gray cotton, black
corn, black geraniums and black
roses, all of which will be shown just
as produced by nature.
The exhibit will be arranged and
shown by Dennis Tapley, well known
locally, who for years has made a
study of freak flowers and vegeta-
ton. For years nurserymen
throughout the country have at
tempted to produce black roses, ge-
raniums and other flowers, but with
out success. The efforts of the local
man have been recognized through
out the entire country recently, and
the first big exhibition of his prod
ucts will be made at the fair.
The effort to secure black color
for roses and other flowers is merely
to crafty the fad and desire which
has existed for such colorings, but
cotton in black, brown and gray will
have great commercial value The
system for dying causes great loss
to the cotton and is also injurious
to all fabrics, and if cotton could be
raised with natural color it would
add much to it's value and cheaper
the cost of finished products.
Samples of the colored cotton are
now on exhibition at the office of
| Secretary Robert, and are ATTRACTING
much attention.-Macon Telegraph.

State Seems to Have Gone Against
Prohis by 26 Votes. Will Not BE

AUGUSTA, Me.-After having
completed the tabulation of the Off
cial returns on all four questions
which appeared upon the ballot at
the special election week ago the
governor and council adjourned un-
til Thursday, September %, when
they will meet to consider correc-
tons.
The results as amended were as
follows:
On repeal of the constitutional
prohibitory amendment: For repeal
COAST; against repeal 60, 461. Ma
jority for repeal &c.
The statewide primary system
was adopted by a majority of A.
036.
The majority for locating the state
capital permanently at Augusta was
1884, and that for increasing the
debt limit in cities of 10000 and
over $50.
Attorney General Pattengall stat
ed that the question of the repeal of
the prohibitory amendment was still
in doubt, and it was his belief that
corrections would show a considera-
Bile majority against repeal.
The time for receiving corrections
will not expire until October 8.
Governor Plaisted said that cor
rections would be made in the re-
turns of several towns which might
materially alter the result.
