Some Of the Dreams
 Are Now Coming True

The latest dope from Fairbanks ha, 1t that there is something stirring on Little Eldorado creek iD the way of a rich paystreak, and that that wanton stream which has lured so many trust lng hearts to defeat has at last been wooed 10 final and complete surren- der.
 The news comes in too indefinite a manner to be satisfactory, but it ap- pears that Q rich paystreak has been encountered high on the right limit of the creek, and that those who have stayed with the creek in dogged perse- verenco are about to reap their reward
 On Goldstream. the left limit bench paystreak opposite the town of Fox is proving better thau ever, and is said tC 20 all the way through. h other words, it's extent Is greater than at first suspected and extends down the creek for considerable distance, the exac, limit being as yet unkdown.
 These finds are not causing any undue excitement, but may give much longer lease of life to Fairbanks as 2 placer camp.

One of tha Moore
 DiSc0yerers lD Town

John Folsom, who with Richard Kells did some of the first stalking on Moore creek, accompanied by Elsie Fisher and Mir. Jones, arrived in the city yes tcrday forenoon after 8 hard trip.
 Folsom and KelIs recently sold out their holdings on Moore, which are said to be the best of the ground thus far known, to Theodore Witte, Charles Knell, Eddie McArdle, Walter Hunter and Louis Schimmolfennig, and this combination will work this ground next summer. Moore is looking better all the time, and although the syndicate are understood to have paid a stiff price, they are still believed to have made good bargain.
 The party will return to Moore in day or so accompanied by Knell, who will spend a short time on the creek.

DID HE EVER FINISH
 FOOLHARDy JOURNEY ?

While returning from Tokotna last week Mir. Fredrickson of this city, met q lone traveller headed to the Moore creek country, without food, robes or SnowshoeS. Frederickson had com panion, and as they saw the stranger approaching, struggling through the deep snow that came to his waist, they thought it must be X caribou blowing through the timber and were on the point of bringing rife into play.
 The man was of the trail and in the utmost difficulty. Now and again he would fall down and founder in the snow and when they came up to him, he was found to be in sorry plight in- deed. They were travelling on snow shoes, but the musher had neither Snowshoes or outft, ft,-besides that he was an old timer in the country.
 He was bluntly criticised for being dam phool in attempting sucss q journey in such q manner, but insisted that he could make it through without help. When he disappeared in the dis lance, he was still laundering and fall sng down.

FIRST WOMAN OVER
 THE SEWARD TRAIL

Driving three dog teams, loaded with snow shoes for the people of the in terior, party recently arrived at the N. C. Co. post on the Tokotna, inciud- ing one female chechaco, father, hus- band and helping friend.
 They had travelled from Seward and were on their way to Gaines creek in the Innoko where the paternal member of the party had mined last year. MT Frederickson, carpenter, who just re- turned from Tokotna did not get their names, but he said the trip was made in fine shape and the woman was quite willing to testify as to the glories of Seward trail.

Have Channel on the Hillside

An interesting piece of mining work is being developed at the head of Flat where Kilroy and Martindale are min ing on the Upgrade association. They believe they have dropped onto a hill side channel, for they are now down 26 feet an1 are just within hearing dis tance of bedrock.
 The proposition is pccplar in tfis way that it has been generally supposed that the ground on the hillside at the head of Flat vas but few feet of wash debris laying on top of q granite or slate bedrock, At the particular point where they are working they have either punctured seam or struck k spot where nature forgot to put in the wadding.
 Incidentally, they have about feet of Sc dirt, and i5 is possible that bed. rock will disclose something better when they get to it.

 IN OTTER FIRE

Started from bad f1ue which ignited the roof, the home Of Frank TeEeyck, layman on "a Otter, was nearly destroyed last Saturday even ing, and practically all the contents of the cabin ruined, including food supplies and personal effects.
 Through the assistance of neigh bors, the blaze was stopped before the walls of the cabin were des' troyed, but the roof was a total wreck. The cabin belongs to Theodore Johnson Of his city and the contents to Teneyck, wherefore they are both losers.

Otter Creek Glacier
 Threatens Discovery

They are having their annual trouble al Discovery and the ice of Otter creek is gradually creeping to their door sills and into the sacred precincts of their dwellings,
 As midwinter nuisance, Otter creek has them all beat. The ice pack grows foot ill the night and there is very little way of prevent. ing 1t.
 George Riley. however, is put. ting up the good fight for them, He has big boiler just below the town and is thawing out a channel for the overflow and may prevent the glacier from climbing higher.
