OPERATORS ALL BUSY ON
 FAIRBANKS tx.

Fairbanks creek is relatively hold- ing it's own as one of the biggest producing streams in the camp. From the dredge on above down to II below discovery it is scene of as great activity as any part of the camp. Schansel X Hempe, Eat on X Tucker, G. C. Noeller and II. H. Reynolds are all at work on 8 and above. Most of the pay along this portion of the creek is found up some distance from the creek on the left limit, the pay nearer the creek bed having been worked out
 Noeller, on above, is open-cut- ting Pat Meehan's ground. He is now engaged in pumping water from an old open cut. and has scarcely gotten ready for the seasons work The larger portion of the ground Noeller will work this year is under some old tailings heaped up years 0iSO. lltlc ID d StlIp Ol SIOuIu 800 feet long on this property which is still untouched. Noeller has just commenced to hoist into the boxes from his deep cut. Schansel & Hempe have strip about 80 feet wide extending 300 feet up stream from the shaft. Coarse gold pre- dominates in the upper end of the creek. That the pay is spotted on the ground left, is the assertion of practically every operator on the up per end of the creek. On a Swear lease of the property, Jacobson and Schusted are scraping out 15,000 feet of pay from an open cut on 1 above.

Some of the operators on Fairbanks creek say that by dispensing with Wheelbarrow work in the open cut and working minimum force they are able to make a little money, whereas they would be operating at a loss if they tried to work ground on an expensive scale. That is, the side pay is not showing up to be as rich as the main pay channel, and consequently the slow process of working it will mean that some of the claims which have only small blocks of ground left unworked will be busy several seasons more.
 Otto Rippa, who is in the Iditarod, has men working his claim, above, and a good season is expected by the men in charge. Thaws are be- ing used on the ground now. On discovery claim, Pomeroy X Ford are taking out good money with crew of about IS men. Their shaft is close up against the hillside on

HOPEFULS COMING DAILY

Men are still coming in from Cir cle a.most daily. The latest arriv- als report that the trail is in mis- erable condition, due to the heavy rains.

and murderously assaulted George
Graves, also colored. in front Of
Martin & Farinholt's store at Toano
last Saturday night. Graves has
fractured skull from a blow over the

better of Moore. While Graves was
in the store making some purchases.
Moore secured a heavy piece Of iron
piping and when Graves came out of
the door. dealt him a terrific blow
on the forehead. crushing the frontal
bone.
Graves was rendered unconscious

found that the skull was crushed il

SUSPECT NOT The
MAN WANTED

Hampton police have been hold
ing a young negro named Simon
Wallace as a suspect in the Adams
murder case. Wallace was arrested
last week in Elizabeth City county
and the York authorities notified.
He answered the description given
OF William Beverly. the real muir
derer of Mr.. Adams. Sheriff Tom
Phillips looked the man over and de-
cided he was not the one wanted.
Simon Wallace is known to the
police. he having been convicted in
the court here OF the theft of a
watch and household articles from
the home OF Ben Garrett. ST.. in
this county. and was given a term
in the reformstory. The boy is
about the size of Beverly. but is all
African.
No clue has been discovered to
the whereabouts of Beverly. but
every effort possible is being mace
TO appTehend him. The York county
board promptly offered a reward OF
$50 for his arrest and il is thought
that the governor will also offer the
usual reward. II IS probable Bev-
erly has made his way back to Wes
Virginia where some Of his people
live.
After the murder of Mr.. Adams,
Beverly went to the home OF a col
ored man. the daughter OF whom
married brother of the allegec
murderer. and left the gun WITH
which he killed Mr. Adams. Hs
