 This exhibition of industry was remarkable in it's striking unanimty and lack of hesitation No one ap pareny harbored the thought of going out of business for moment, but soon as they had safely housed their rescued goods they began looking carpenters and figuring plans and estimates

Happy Piystreak
 Looming Up Large

With the discovery of fine pay in the lower end of the Texas association, Happy creek, and the further explora- tions which have disclosed consider able area Of pay gravel i'll the upper end of the association, all made within the last few days, Happy creek boosters are now practically satisfied that they have established the existence of splendid paystreak on that stream, and as con sequence considerable excitement pre- vails there.
 Two days ago Grinslnore and associ- ates, laymeu on the lower 6oo feet of the Texas, who have for long time been baked by water, succeeded III getting a hole down i'll the thaWed channel Y feet to bedrock, and found feet of pay aver aging cents to the pan. This vii! fig ure about $3,5o 10 the foot.
 On the upper cid of the claim, Wise man, Whalen & Chambers pat down a working shaft So feet below the earlier holes of last winter and encountered the same pay. The two upper holes are 50 feet apart i'll pay, thus making a triangle of 50 by So that promises considerable area of pay, This ground is quite rich, and it IS reported that 30 paHs averaged 24 cents.
 The new strike at the lower end is in line with the upper pay, all being on the right limit, and there seems no quts- ton about the existence of a paystreak.

D0NLAN TAXES ON
 NEW LEASE 0F LIFE

Quartz creek, one of the main hopes of the nrospectors in the kuskokwim, was wakened up the other day by a stiff jolt in the vitals and it now ap- pears that the gold-seekerS have pene- trated to real paystreak. Eighty feet above the old hole on No. l Quartz, where he had discovered good pay some weeks ago, Shorty" Gragan has just put down another hole and ran into five feet of 20c dirt.
 The find is the main sensation across the divide where the developments Of the last few months have been so dis couraging. J. J. Price. who, with Ellsworth Ives and Nlr. GrNgHn, is an owner of No. l Quartz, has just re- turned from that section, where he assisted in putting down this last hole. It lays on the right limit, and taken in connection with the previous work, in dicates paystreak on the creek. This hole shows nearly S6 to the foot.
 Another hole will be sunk further up the creek, after which Gragan will turn his attention to cross-cutting to show the width of the pay. If the claim is found to justify the expenditure, as now appears likely plant will be put on the ground this spring.
 Quartz creek is a tributary of Donlan above the mouth of Snow gulch, and great deal of work has been done in that vicinity this winter. Most of the work on Quartz heretofore, has been on the left limit, accounting for the failure to locate the paystreak before thls

FLEES SECRETLY
 FROM FAIRBANKS

Fairbanks, March 30.-CryStalizing from the most intense public excite ment, one of the largest mass meetings in the history of this city was held last night, where, led by the women of the city, a monster petition was prepared charging Captain Barnette with em- bezzlement in connection with the af fairs of the defunct Washing ton Alaska bank, declaring that the depositorS were entirely dissatisfied with the su- curities which Barnette had offered to surrender, and asking Judge Qlerfieid to call another special grand jury to probe further into the mysterious deal ings of the bank managers. Fearing the threatened attitude of the people, Captain and Mrs. Barnette departed from the town secretly Monday night by dOgt cam, and overlook the stage bound for the coast.
 Public feeling against the former president of the wrecked bank has reached point where his life was ad- mitted to be in danger. The disclos- ures following the auditing of the books show q decidedly ugly state of affairs, and depositors believe they have been deliberately robbed oi their money. Parsons, Barnette and Bar bou1 are reported to have mortgaged their homes 10 the bank q year ago for SI6,00 and SIS, GOO respectively in the first two instances, and other equally frenzied transactions have been uncOv- cred.
 Many of the miners and operators of the creeks have offered 10 put up money for Barnctte's prosecution, and the decision of Judge Overfield on the request of the petition for q special grand jury is awaited with the keenest interest and anxiety.
 Barnette was in hiding before his de- parture, and it is probable that an cf fort will be made to bring him back before he reaches the OutiGe.

TISDALE ID BE TRIED
 HERE FOR MURDER

Following a preliminary hearing be- fore Commissioner Heavey at George town, in which the defendant refused to testify in his own behul:, George 1'isdale, the man who shot and killed Joseph F. Plante in a cabin 80 miles below Georgetown on the Kuskokwim river on March +, was bound over to the grand jury, ard will be tried here before Judge Overfeld next summer in case an indictment is returned against him.
 According to the evidence of the three witnesses, Nels Perru, Dan Pa gaut and John Landry, the case looks bad for Tisdale, who apparently killed his victim without provocation. The il vestigation also brought out the fact tlIt the three witnesses acted very rangeIy, and that the tragedy might have been averted had they exhibited sufficient nerve at the proper time. Following the shooting, they are said 10 nave run away without even ex- anl hing Plante's wounds, and left him on the floor of the cabin with the door open where he died some time after i. un loss of blood and cold.
 lisdale is reported to have declared his ability to prove entire justification i.'1' his deed, and confidently asserts tu.t there will be some startling de- ,rlopments when the time comes for L..l to speak.

Catholic Church Here Assured

Having purchased lot on Second avenue in the western portion of the city, opposite the home of Judge Malt by, Father Monro, of Fairbanks has given it out, that the Catholic church will unquestionably start church here next summer, and that following his report to Father Crimont, there is every likelihood that a hospital will also be established in this city.
 Father Monro has been looking over the various towns of the camp, and IS satisfied that the Iditarod district has a very promising future. He returns to Fairbanks shortly, and will then sub init full report upon conditions here, urging the necessity of the establish ment of church and hospital, and feels that his suggestion will be acted upon. He expects to return in July, when the active work Of preparing the mission will be taken up.
 The lot already secured is understood to be for the site of the church, but the hospital site will be selected later, pending the action of the church authorities.

Gall it Trials Of a Postmaster

Fred Bruhn is being sud in the dis trict court for SlO55 by John Bjerved, who claims tn he is out just that much money by reason of the failure of Bruhn to make Cuy proper pOstotfice money order when the said Bruhn was at the helm of the Iditarod postotfice last summer.
 According to the complaint in the action which was filed with Deputy Clerk of the Court Maltby by Attorney Chas E. Taylor, last Thursday, the plaintiff desired to send $650 10 his mother, Mrs. Hannah Olson of Chris tiana, Norway, and approached Post master Bruhn on the proposition last June. The complaint further states that although Bruhn could not then fill out the necessary blanks, he told Bjerved that they would soon be along, and that he could then send the Il oney. On these representations, Bjerved left S655 with 8ruhn and an open letter in which the money order was to be en- closed.
 Thereafter, it appears there was nothing doing in the way of money order department of the postotfice, whereupon Bruhn gave the money and the letter to an old and trusted friend who was going Outside with directions to procure the order at the first post office.
 Bierved says his mother never got the money, and he wants 1t back. He also wants S400 which he spent making trips down to Bruins to try and collect

Enthusiastic Booster for Seward Trail

Having made the trip from Seward to the Iditarod in pleasant rag-time compared to all previous performances, A. w. Kah, assayer and assistant cash fer of the Bank of Nome, arrived in this city Thursday evening, l6 days from the coast. He says the going is fine at the present time, and declares there is no reason why Seward should not be the port of entry for Iditarod mail next winter.
 The worst part of the route lays along the portion covered by the railroad, and this will be difficult to negotiate during the balance of the spring.
 MT. Kah, who has some business interests here, will remain for time but intends to proceed to Nome before the breakup.
