A secret expedition is just start ing for the Yukon where the mem bers thereof will sit down in easy backed chairs and spend their money for telegraph tolls.
 Al Thorns, one of the original owners of Flat creek, is heading the party, and he is accompanied by Ray Brumbaugh and Ed Kel- logg There is something very mysterious about Thorn's mission, but it is believed that it has some thing to do with big deals that are now pending or Flat creek.

 The stock argument put forward by the Flat dwellers is to the effect that there is no reason for the prospecor to to dtarod to do bis recording when he could do it there. They lose sight of the fact that practically all of the recording of claims in this mmed ate vicinity done before any office estab- shed here and that this office has been kept by the recording of claims from the Upper Idtarod and other

According to a statement contained in the COrdova Alaskan the Alaska Steam ship company was seriously contem- plating, a month ago, cutting out the town of Seward from it's steamship run, and instead of giving her weekly service, cut the visits of the ships down to once month.
 Since that nothing has been heard to indicate whether this change has gone into effect, but from the tone of the article in the Alaskan, it would appear that it has.
 The change will not make any serious difference to travellers going Outside from here by way of Seward, for it ap- pears that the trip can be made to Cor

Out of the haze of rumor and conjecture that has hung over this camp for the last several months there now appears the ghostly form of gigantic deal on Flat creek which means no more nor less than the purchase of the entire creek by a big syndicate of Outside capital. The deal is pending and in the making, but whether or not it will ever materialize, no one can say.
 Flat creek is the banner creek of the camp and holds some very rich ground. It is also sup posed to carry pay from the head to the foot-a distance of four and half miles, It is shallow

 Quietly and as unobtrusively as possible they have been making a secret survey of the creek, in an attempt to line up all the pay ground. In fact, it is reported that line has been run the entire length of the creek, and that an exhaustive report on it's possibilities and conditions is in the

From the latest information received from Fairbanks, it is learned that the affairs of the Washington-Alaska bank which closed it's doors on Dec. 4th, and went into the hands of Receiver Hawk ins, are being rapidly adjusted.
 According to a telegram received by Cecil Clegg, assistant district attorney, the books now show that the depositors will get roc on the dollar. The stock Holders will lose their entire holdings.

HuTries From NixOn'S
 Fork and Back Again

There is something doing on Nixon's Fork, and some of the prognostications of some of the wise old timers seem about to come true.
 Arthur Eaton was over last week but spent little time here. He remained just long enough to report that they had struck pay on Flat creek. a tribu- tary of Nixon's Fork and then he was on his way again.
 Things are indeed looking up over there, as witness the buy made by Jack Sheedy of some interests held by Jim Roberts. and which are reported more at length in another portion of this is- sue. P. o. Sunberg went back with Eaton Wednesday and they have let no moss grow under their heels.

Masons Make Merry
 Midst Much Melody

Those who were fortunate enough to be Masons last Thursday night did not regret it. Masons gathered and Masons had some fun, for il was one of the incest little dancing parties that have been held i'll this city.
 The word had gone forth that the party was for Masons ard their ladies, and as consequence, Ma, sons and their ladies were there.
 The business preamble was more or less of a joke. They didn't come for business and when they discovered that it would interfere with their pleasure, they cut it out.
 The lower floor of Ansley's hall was utilized for reception rooms and the upstairs hall was devoted entirely 10 dancing. They needed i, all.
 Some thirty couples trippcd light ly on tue corners, while Jack Con- nolly, of Flat. one of the best dance instigators that ever stepped over the ffty-thi1d parallel, meddled melodiously with the music.
 They had light refreshments too, il being everyone's cue to eat as much as he wanted. Ill many cases tIiis was found to interfere with smooth motion, wherefore some did Ot go back more than once or twice.

THE UNWIsE MAN.
Is He Who Will Persist in the Belief
That Ready Made are Cheaper.

There are many who will not be con-
WINGED that tailor made clothing is
cheaper in the long run than ready
mades" A man of such belief is I'M
wise because he will not be shown. The
best way to reach a conviction in this
matter is TO make the test. Tailor
made clothing. especially when from
the Psenicka shop. not only gives best
service, wears longer and is more sat
isfactory, but has the style and fit,
which is of additional added value TO
the wearer to discount any difference in
prices The difference in price. how
ever. is made up in the difference in
wearing quality. Don't be unWise
when YOU purchase your next suit. Let
Psenicka convince YOU of the wisdom
Of tailor made clothing.
