JAKE SLlPPERN
 IN FR0M RUBY

J. A. Slippern of sawmill fame ar rived here from Ruby Sunday last. He was accompanied by Sam Godfrey and came in by way of the Lewis trail and | Diskaket, and says that route is to be preferred to the Nulato trail, which is considerably longer.
 i Speaking of the Ruby district, MT. ! Slippern said that it has all the ear marks of camp. In addition to the pay found on discovery, Long creek, pay has been found on Eldorado, Gold Run and Glen, which are tributaries of Flint. On the Nuamah bench it runs from Sl 50 to $2 to the foot for over 40 feet; and as the ground is said to be easily worked, this is considered very good.
 Ruby people went to work with q greater degree of confidence than has been exhibited in any other new camp in the North. A great deal of pros pecting is being done and small boilers are in demand. There is little heavy machinery on the ground at present, and work done to date has not been sufficient to locate continuous pay streak Several D per cent. lays have been let.
 The camp has about l 200 people, 500 of whom are at Ruby City and the balance on the creeks.
 A new town will probably be laid out at discovery Long, where Mrs. Stoner has roadhouse.
 Lumber has gone up in price and is now selling at $50 per thousand for rough and S80 for dressed. If the de- mand continues. the smaller mills may run through the winter. Plenty of sa awlogs can be obtained at from $ll 10 SI7 per thousand. The Independent Lumber Company has about POO, 900 feet yarded.
 Provisions are about the same as here, and meals cost $l There was a temporary shortage of butter and cream, but supplies have been obtained from Gibbon. Butter is now selling at Sl.50 per 2-pound can; cream is $8 per case; potatoes, imported, 121 cents d pound, and cabbage 10 cents.
 Dr. ]. H. Moore is doing we'll and is very popular in the camp. Bob Martin has disposed of all his holdings for the sum of Sl5,0OG He received 5000 in cash and the balance will be paid ln installments. Shaw & Baggerly were the purchasers.
 W. Dunn, who was in Iditarod last sumner is the only attorney in the camp.
 Money is very scarce.
 Prior to Mir. Slippern's departure for Lditarod. the citizens of Ruby gave a dance and reception ip bis honor.

NEW 'TOWlI AT
 ANIAK MOUTH [

Confident that the new strikes on the Aniak river are going to lead to the formation Of camp on the lower Kuo kokwim, residents of that section have staked a townsite at the mouth of the Aniak, which is eighteen miles below Hoffmans. An island at the mouth Ot the river has been selected as the townsite, and it is said to be very desirable location.
 The site has been laid cut in block by Duke E. Stubbs, the surveyor About ten blocks have been staked to date, and the game is still going on.
 Lots have been secured for the N. c. Co.,, the K. c. Co.,, and for court house and other federal buildings which enthusiasts think will be neces- sary there. It is reported that the N. c. Co. has let contract for over 200 logs, to be placed on the ground in case the company should find it advisable to build.
 Late arrivals from the Aniak confirm the reported strikes, which have been made on three creeks entering on the left limit. Labelle is said to have secured 27 association claims.
 The Aniak heads in the same region as the Tuluksak, where fairly good pay was located some years ago by a party of Swedes. The Tuluksak is re- ceiving some attention this winter Pete Campbell and w. I. Mclean are heading for that river, although it is possible they may take in the new strike.

CHRISTMAS TREE
 AT FLAT CITY

The A. B. dance and Christmas en- tertainment which should have been held at Flat City Dec. 3 had to be postponed to Christmas on account of the indictment weather. On Christmas day the weather was favorable and there was a largs attendance, fully 200 people being present. The children turned out in full force and were the life of the evening.
 The hall was nicely decorated in red, white and gecn, with falling snow over tie platform.
 MT. Mading took the part of Santa Claus, and with his well-trained dog team drove dow the center of the hall 10 the platform, where the children were assembled. Alter a short talk and haudshahing between Santa and the little ones, the numerous presents were distributed.
 Next came the entertainment, which, with the exception of the closing song, America was rendered entirely by children. Following is the program: l. Welcome ...... . All the children ?. Recitation, The Two Stockings" <"

 Dancing commenced at Il D. m. and continued until i d. n. The music was very good.
 A feature of the dance was the re- treatments. These were served in the balcony of the hall all evening, so that dancers could partake of them when ever they felt inclined. fine cham pagne punch was donated and served by private individuals.
 The arrangements went through without d hitch. Everybody came with the Christmas spirit, which was main tained throughout the evening, ard q night of unaIloyed pleasure was spent.

Seventeen-Year Locusts.

lie caught and exhibited the first
specimens hereabouts, and they were
regarded with proper interest for
many days, and crowds went over to
his office to view the little strangers.
Since then the woods of Palisade have
rang. with their monotonous song,
and II the city folks are any criterians
to go by, the noise is a tarnation
nuisance: Ibis, however, is only one
point OF view. The small boy has
now become used to the locusts, and
is catching them for the fun of cap
ture, and to hear them buzz out their
indignant baratone protest about be-
ing lnterfered with. SO far there has
been little damage wrought b., the
locusts, and the interest the have
created has been unusual. The noise
they made is about as wierd as can
be imagined, and cannot be told of in
words. But there is this to say: If
any one ever heard the cry of the
locusts, seventeen, thirty four and
or any number of years ago, the sound
IS at once recognizable. 1t can never
be mistaken for anything else.

Palisade played to win, while Fort

acceptable game, striking out twelve

overcame this fine work. There are
several good men on the Onawas, M.
