Flat City Will
 Have Hello" Girl

Pressed with business that keeps the wire hot between Iditarod and the creeks, and between different points in the creek cities, the local telephone company finds itself up against the ne- cessity of providing additional facilities for the activity of the coming spring.
 Henry Weir manager of the com pany, has stated that he contemplates the installation of an exchange at Flat City, but will be unable to affect the inr ovation until after the breakup, as it will be necessary to procure a new switch board for the office on the creeks.
 A line to Dikeman from this city will also De necessary if freight is caught at the lower town next summer, but this extension, of course, must wait upon developments.

Love Again Called
 To Say Something

Called to Seattle to give testimony in connection with some more coal land cases, Marshal Love of Fairbanks, departed for the Outside last month, and made virtue of necessity by talk ing out two insane patients to Dc con- signed to Mt. Tabor in Oregon. With him went Capt. Gilmour, the we'll known newspaper man and politician. who came into the Iditarod last sum- mer in connection with the Orr cam paign and made lot of friends, but not of the same political stripe.
 Capt. Gilmour assisted Marshal Love in taking out Frank Jensen, the in sane patient who was sent to Fairbanks from the Iditarod, and another insane man from Gibbon. Shooting Gallery" finders of Fairbanks also went along as guard.
 According to the Fairbanks papers Love intends to return by February. This he is doubtless doing in order to straighted out his affairs before his contemplated retirement in April. After resigning his post in Alaska, Marshal Love will probably retire from public life, for time at least, and de- vote his energies to the developm ent of his Oregon fruit ranch.

Banker and Assayer
 Are Now Prospecting

Associated with Tom Mclean who formerly mined on Dome creek in the Fairbanks district, George Wesch and Jack Adams, who used to work for the Washington-Alaska bank in the Tanana metropolis, are now scratching around in the gravels of Snow gulch and think they have a fine chance for the money.
 John Larson, Jack Adams and others were over the other day with dog teams after new supply of grub, just to fill out the places where the bill of fare was saggins little. They re- ported that the pay struck by Larson at the mouth of Snow gulch is the real Peruvian doughnuts. She goes $4 to the foot and it won't be very hard to take it out.
 Mclean, Wesch and Adams are sink ing holes on 8-a on the same creek and with their little boiler they are show ing up some good prospects,, although the work has not progressed far enough to demonstrate to them whether they are on the same paystreak with Larson or not.
 There are other outfits working on Snow and it looks as though there is good chance to hear something very encouraging from that creek in the near future.

4 Box Of Hot Cloves

An interesting instance of spon- taneous combustion came to light out on Flat creek the other day when the destruction of cabin was prevented by the discovery that spice box of ground cloves was quietly smoldering on the shelf where it had been burning for some time.
 The owner of the cabin had been away and noticed the odor of burning spices when he returned. Upon in vestigation, smoke was discovered com ing from the can, and the powdered cloves were found to be quietly burn ing, the can being too hot to touch.
 Sitting behind the stove where it had been kept warm for some time, it az pears that the oil had distilled to such an extent as to set up spontaneous com bustion, It might be we'll to investi- gate the spice shelf to prevent similar accident.

He's On His Way
 From Michigan

The O'COnnor brothers and Billy Wiles are not crazy about Michigan creek-in fact, they hardly love it at all.
 It will be remembered that they have been working on that creek with drill, and they know quite lot about the underground construction. They also know there is no gold in it, or at least in the places where they put holes, and that was some places.
 Pat and Jack O'Connor and Wiles had put them up a cabin on Michigan, and had settled down there with con- fortable grub stake to work for the winter. They had their hand drill and they worked it with will, cross-cut- ting the creek in several places. Pat reported, when he was over to Iditarod the other day, that they actually found three small colors in all the holes sunk on Michigan.
 Naturally, these results discouraged them, and they are now looking for other fields The next move will be to the South Fork of George river, where number of prOspectors are moving, and from whence comes a vague report of strike near the headwaters The trio will take the drill over with them.
