MAY HAVE GOOD
 PAY ON CHICKEN

A week or two ago Roman & Aiken, who have au option on Sterling Dark Chicken creek ground, moved the Keystone drill from the Marietta, where it has been used for prospecting by the Yukon Gold Co.,, to Chicken creek and since that time prospecting on Chicken has continued under the direction of John Roman!
 Three days ago news reached town that Roman had struck rich pay on Chicken, and considerab ble speculation was indulged ill as to the value of the find. The most that can be learned is that fairly good pay has been proved by drill ing, although nothing has so far been discovered to warrant the exaggerated reports that were cur rent about tho extent and value of the pay. But the results obtained are said to be sufficient to encourage Roman & Aitken to exercise their option, and negotiations to that end are said to be in progress.
 MT. Dark has prospected on Chicken creek Oil and of for the past two years, but only limited amount of development work was done.

FORGOT THEIR PANTS IN
 HURRY TO SEE THE FIRE

Marathon runners and other athletes have from time immemorial perform ed their feats in abbreviated costume, but 1t was left for two gallant residents of lditarod to perform on the public high way in their nightshirts. Last We'd nesday, about midnight, as & bslated traveller was vending his way home ward, he saw two apparitions in scanty attire making desperate attempts to force their way into the office of a lumber concern. Thinking they might be burglars. and on plunder bent, our traveller accosted them. The shivering citizens explained that they had jumped cut of their beds to sec the fire, only to hnd on their return that the wind had closed the door and their only key was hanging up inside. The tall man blamed the short, and vice versa, while the good d-natured pedestrian helped them break in the door. They say they never knew it could be so blamed cold that early in September, and fire or no hre they are not going to be caught on the streets again without their pants especially when the wind is blowing.

FIREFIGHTING FUND NOT LARGE

While many of the business men and merchants of Iditarod have made generous donations to the fund being raised for fire-fghting purposes, the amount promised to date is not sufi- cient to insure continuance of the water supply.
 The city council cut out the payment for standing pressure August 24 last, since which time the city has been virtually without fire protection. The narrow escape experienced the other day should warn merchants of the necessity for some sort of fire protec- tion, and if the city council does not feel itself justified in maintaining the ser vice, it is up to the business men to take steps to protect their own property.
