 Not Cheap Says Maj

The name of the book which Nat Goodwin has written describing h;s love affairs is "Why Beautiful Women Marry Nat Goodwin" Maxine Elliott comes in for particular notice in the book
 Nat describes Maxine as "expensive" and as the most eccentric of all his wives. He says that she had the Eng fish bee in her bonnet.
 "She tried hard to break into Eng fish society and insisted we must try to get together some of the Tmpecunious nobility and few army men as guests. 1 knew of no one who represented these particular branches of society and had no particular desire to, but, being un- der her hypnotic influence, had to do my best, which was very poor, and Maxine was disappointed

Ruby Strike Has
 Shown Little Yet

Letters continue to arrive here from Ruby city, which prove beyond a doubt that nothing has been found in that neighborhood since pay was found on Long creek, and all statements to the contrary should be accepted with con siderable reserve.
 A letter which arrived from Ruby yesterday states positively that so far pay had been located on one claim only, viz, Discovery, on Long creek, and that prospects had been found on Bear pup. Apparently nothing else has been found except colors.
 The writer of the letter is well known here. He claims to have been all over the present diggings, and to have looked into all the holes. That he is not knocking the camp is evi- dent when he says that the country looks good and he will endeayor to stay by it.
 Only two buildings have been erected so far, and there are no oppor- tunities to work for wages.
 The Ruby camp may turn out very well yet: but it is quite improved. To stampede from here to Ruby at the present time is sheer folly, especally in view of the fact that the country is all

Meat Not Spoiled
 On Wrecked Barge

It is gratifying to learn that when the barge Trender, with POO tons of meat on board for the Iditarod Meat market, was wrecked a little above Dikeman: the meat was not damaged by water.
 Fortunately the barge struck the snag when in very shallow water, and as the meat is only carried on the deck of the barge iJ escaped immersion. It will be brought here by the Little Delta and the Wilbur Crimmin, and should arrive at any moment.
