Wolf Rounty.

The holders of wolf bounty certificates
this year will get only 65 cents on the
dollar of their face value. While the
appropriation is $4,000, the claims
amouni to $23, 900, and as the law pro-
vides that all claims must be prorated
out on the total amount appropriated,
the face value must be scaled. For sew
eral years the appropriation has paid
about seventy cents on the dollar, and
several spectators have been purchas-
ing certificates on an estimate as to such
basis. Those who have been trying that
way to make few dollars this year, will
find that there lis nothing in It," unless
they were wise enough to make their
scale rather low.

as Assistant Solicitor for the Chicago

pany, for North and South Dakota, hav
ing been recently appointed to fll that

From selfish standpoint we chron.
icle this departure with sadness, 40 we
have indeed lost valuable citizen from
our midst, yet from loftier point oi
view We are very glad indeed to see one
who so richly deserves credit, receive an
appointment which plainly shows how
ability wins the higher places.
Mr.. Grantham has lived in Custer
nearly 25 years and In that time has la
bored night and day for the welfare OF
our town, and atthe same time has work
cd himself up to an enyiable position in
his profession. His election to the office
of Mayor Of our city year after year for
at least ten years shows the confidence
our people have had in him and his abil-
ity to do things.
We understand that it is the intention
Of Mr.. Grantham to move his family to
Aberdeen as soon as he can make salts.
factory arrangements for a house. We
are certain that if Aberdeen appreciates
their gain as much as Cnstar feels her
loss, then the Grantham family will
meet with one of the most hearty re-
ceptions ever accorded family coming
to their city.
The CHRONICLE voices the sentiment
ofthis community In saying that We wish
Mr.. Grantham and his family success
and happiness to the fullest extent in

QUOTATIONS..
Curtiss Flyers.

By the way, have you been keeping
track of the wonderful feats which have
been performed by the Curtiss flyers
during the recent aviation meet in Chic
ago? Ifso you are aware of the extra
ordinary attraction to be offered this
year at the State Fair, when the Curtiss
aeroplane will make daily flights from
the aviation field in front of the huge
grand stands. These flights will consist
of racing an auto, flying for heighth, for
speed, etc. The aviator will soar high
in the air in circles, and with a hair
raising swoop will descend to the start
ing point. Edison, the great inventor,
said that in twenty years aerial naviga-
ton will be firmly established and on a
practical working basis. Here is a real
opportunity to see future locomotion in
the making. Our grandfathsrs witness
ed the origin and early growth of steam
power; it is now our privilege to see the
beginning and evolution of air craft.

CATTLE.

Receipts this week have been the
heaviest so far this year but the Offer
ings have included very few corn fed
beeves. For the best of these the Dress
ed beef men have paid pretty close to
steady figures all week, $500 to $7.65
buying a good many. On the ordinary
short fed kinds values have gone of
fully 25c and trade has been dull at the
decline. Strictly choice range beeves
have also held about steady, selling as
high as $500 to $3.50, while on the gen.
eral western beef market prices have
ruled 25c lower than last week. In COWS
and heifers supplies have been liberal
and prices uneven throughout, but there
has been an average decline of quarter
for the week and the tone to the market
was weak at the close despite a broad,
general demand. Stockers and feeders
were in good request the forepart Of the
week at strong prices but country buyers
we're bearish in their views and did not
take hold at all freely so that values
weakened and at the close were all ol
25c lower for the week, a good many cat.
tie being carried over to next week.

PIONEERS TURN OUT
 IN FORCE
SOURDOUGH BALL ON SATUR- DAY ATTRACTED MORE THAN
 450 PEOPLE.

About 45O people attended the Pioneer ball at the Auditorium on Saturday evening, and this number would have been considerably swell ed had the people from the creeks been able to get tC town. More than three sittings at the supper table were necessary to accommo date the big crowd but everybody was in good humor and the crowd ed condition of the floor was made the most of.
 The committees which had the affair in hand are to be congratu lated on the all-round success that resulted from their efforts, for without fear of contradiction. it can be stated that no more enjoyable gathering was ever held in Fair banks. The music was furnished by a most capable orchestra composed of Carpenter, piano. Ahburg, violin; Stewart, flute; Pinkert, cornet; Zeig Ter, trombone; and Huckins, traps
 At all times during the earlier part of the night the balconies and anterooms were crowded, and it was only toward morning that comfort able dancing could be had on ac count of the press on the floor.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL
 SERVICES
PRESBYTERIAN SERVICES RE- FERREO SPECIALLY TO
 GREAT EMANClPATOR

Special attention was given to the life of Abraham Lincoln at the Pres byterian church last night in recog- milton of the fact that Sunday was the one hundred and second ami versary of the birth of the great emanCipatOr.
 Rev. Condit introduced the ser vice by a few remarks setting forth the providential care of God in raising up the man for the crisis of the days of the civil war. He said that Abraham Lincoln was but one of the proofs of the hand of God in American history.
 George Herring recited the famous Gettysburg address and Horace Hill ary gave Lincoln's favorite poem, "Oh why should the spirit of mortal be proud?'
 The choir sang very appropriate anthem, Brave heart, lie still;" and Dr. Bradley rendered as solo, with her usual effectiveness. the beau tiful hymn. There is a calm be- yond life's ftful sea"
 The principal address was deliv- cred by Hon. J. J. Crossley He SpOkt Ol lut pau lOtlt u dltS Ol LIT cOln's life as simplicity. sincerity and patriotism. Applying the char acteristics of Lincoln's life to pre- sent day conditions and needs he made a strong appeal for good citi- zenship. He said that as Lincoln never put personal considerations in advance of his civic duties, so the man who would emulate his example must be willing to sacrifice fin ancial and other interests in order that he might serve his country. This willingness to sacrifice he placed as the test of true patriot ism.
 The address was well received and has been highly commended by many who are pleased to note in our present district attorney many of the traits which he so highly com mended in the illustrious American whom he eulOgiZed

NEW PAY ON FAIRBANKS

Through the operations of Peter son & Smallwood and Noeller X Guestafson on No. and above Fairbanks creek. the probability of an entirely new paystreak on the left limit of those two claims has been demonstrated. Previously the operations on these claims have been confined nearer to the center of the ere k and the gold found was fine. Both of the two firms of lay men. however, in their present op- eratiOns have found coarse gold while working over toward the bench lines. and it is believed that drifting will show that they have struck distant paystreak.

MIKE HAGGERTY IS FROZEN
HOT SPRINGS Feb 9

HOT SPRINGS, Feb. 2. - Word has just reched town from Sullivan ere of the finding of Mike flag gerty in a badly frozen condition as q result of having become lost dur ing the severe storm which enyel- oped the district few days ago.
 IIaggerty started from Killarney creek on January 27, intending to go to Utah creek but soon became lost in the storm and wandered about in the woods for four days and half with both hands and feet badly frozen. During all that time he did not dare lie down, but kept wandering about in the hope that he might stumble across the trail which he had lost during the storm.
 When finally rescued, Haggerty's hands and feet were badly swollen with the frCst. He was taken to Sullivan and given temporary relief and today friends will take him to Panama where he will be turned over to the post officials for treat ment at the hospital. It is not known at this time whether flag gerty will lose any of the frozen parts. but it seems doubtful that he

MORE GOOD PAY ON
 N|CCERHEAD
LUSHBAUGH q SANDSTROm RUN ON TO $4.5o PAY IN WORK
 ING SHAFT.

Although good pay on the Lush- bough X Sandstrom lay on the Mig gerhead association on lower Dome had to a certain extent. been anti cipated. on account of the prospect ing done with the drill, the news that the working shaft bedroCked on Saturday had dropped on to pay that will run $45O to the foot was received with much satisfac- tion. The extent and continuing value of the pay remains, of course, to be demonstrated by drifting, but the indications are that a large block of exceptionally good ground has been located.
 Last fall the drill was employed on the Niggerhead by both Lush baugh X Sandstrom and Jerry Paul son, who has the lay below theirs. In all the holes sunk pay was located on the Lushbaugh ground These holes were sunk at the lower end of the 500 foot lay, and as the working shaft has been put down about the center of the ground. 200 feet from Walter Fishers lower line. it is naturally expected that the paystreak is continuous for the full length of the lay So far as can be told at this time it IS at least 400 feet wide
 The working shaft bedrocked on Saturday is 173 feet deep. From now out a double shift of men will be en- ployed on the lay and development work will be rushed as fast as Is possible with the big plant already installed.
 Jerry Paulson, who has the lay below the Lushbaugh & Sandstrom ground. is now figuring on starting to sink a working shaft. He had four or five holes sunk with the drill last fall, but none of them hit anything more than fair pros poets. It is possible, however, in view of what has been developed on the Lushbaugh & Sandstrom ground. that the drill was worked in poor spots, for, from the lay of the ground. there is every req son to expect that the good pay is continuous over the Paulson ground.
