that tins tuber is the most efficient unit

Word reached town this morn ing of the death of another old time of this region. It was Miles Fleming, who had passed away at Medicine Hat. Sasc., on the seventeenth of the pres. ent month. The immediate cause of his death was paral. ysis brought on by exposure while salmon fishing. Miles had a great many friends in this region who will be grieved to hear of his demise.

Fl Paso, Dec. 24-The last day or two has witnessed a re. awakening of the rebel forces in not less than three points in the territory adjacent to this city. 4 large force of well armed men are now besieging the small federal garrison at Casa Granda, and threaten to repeat the occurrences at As. cunsiOn if they succeed i'll car. rying the place by storm. There is apparently little or no hope that aid from the government can reach the beleagured sold iers in time to save them, so they have resolved to die with their weapons in their hands rather than surrender to be lined up against a wall and shot.

Seattle, Dec. 2i-C.lem Shep.. ard, purser of the steamer Jef.. ferson was arrested and jailed this morning for participation in the gold robbery on the steamer Humboldt two years ago Shepard was purser of the Humboldt at the time, and the boxes of gold were lodged in his room while being carried from Skagway to Seattle. De- Itectives have been watching the accused man for months, and it is believed that a complete chain of evidence absolutely connecting him with the rob.
 bery has been forged. After sailing on the Humboldt for some time after the loss of the gold, Shepard took a position as purser on a vessel on the California coast returning some months ago, when he secured the position of purSer on the Jefferson. the most sought fol
 position On the Alaska coast
 He was in charge as purser this last summer, until the yesse. was taken off the run some

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND
 A HAPPY NEW YEAR

The Miner will not appear to morrow, it's force taking the usual hollaay allowed at this season, so 1t takes this occas.. ion today to wish it's many readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year. ketchikan has reason to have Merry Christmas this year. The year so nearly end. ed has been the most prosper. ous in it's history, and that one so nearly dawning promises to be better i'll every respect. From the standpoint of civic pride 19i2 will long he looked back to as the time the town really woke up and started to grow on a permanent basis, changing and advancing from the mining and fishing camp stage to that of the little city ketchikan has reason to be proud of herself. Practically every other town in the terri :. tGry worthy of mention exists as the result of some interest or other influene,. while ketchi.. kan came into being and has developed solely on her own resources and the initiative of her citizens. These two qual.. ities have made for her growth in the past, and will develop her into the first and foremost city ill the territory. Next year, the new year so close at hand will see steady growth in the town and district in gen.. eral which will be bound to make 1913 a prosperous year.

Advices received from Hyda.. burg announce that at a meet. ing of the native stockholders of the company which owns thC store at that place, a dividend of fifty per cent was declared.
