frank statement to the press Of the
city for dissemination 20 whom il
might concern that his company could
secure what funds Il might need for
extensions ana upbuildinr. but that
ii had none, ana expected TO have
none for graEt. Within and without
the Council there is abundant tcsti-
:nony that throughout his connection
with the Richmond street railway
system he lived up to that ideal his
attitude not only setting n new pace
for corporations seeking and holding
municipal franchises in Richmond. but
also serving greatly to increase the
Iublic confidence in the Council tt
self.

endeared himself TO the community or
won more personal commentator
than through his activity IN saving

 But, will argue, Christ, whose birth you would celebrate next Wednesday, is responsible for all this progress all that he preached had been preached beore the Sermon the Mount not original; Christ taught nothing and That is true. What Christ preached could not be because he preached truths and Truth is eternal having neither beginning end But Christ the eXempar and teacher and his influence increases daily in the world.

JACK BAIRD LEAVES
 FOR BEAR SHORTLY

Jack Baird expects to leave for Bear creek about January l5, and will prob- ably remain in that section until the breakup. Jujuiro Wada will proceed to Bear immediately and fix up the camp all ready for the crew that will be engaged in prospecting operations,
 With Mr. Baird will go a foreman and probably another man, the balance of those to be employed in the work being selected from among men liyir g in the district.
 It is probable that prospecting opera tions will be confined 10 the benches, as the creek is too wet for effective work to be done with their present equipment. Upon the result of this prospecting work depends, in great measure, the immediate future of Bear creek, as it is understood that in the event of pay being proved mining on a large scale will be begun next year.

NO DOUBT ABOUT
 PAY ON NEW YORK

Pari Parovliko, of Mary creek, a tributary of New York creek, ar rived in Iditarod last Saturday with news confirming the report brought ill from the same section by Char ley Worden. MT. Palovliko has been on Mary creek for a couple of years, but last winter had the mis- fortune to freeze his hands, and was confined to the Iditarod hospital for several weeks, which retarded work considerably.
 Some months ago prospecting was resumed oil the ground with the aid of a six-horsepower boiler, and MT. Parovliko says he has cer- tainly discovered pay. He brought in about 20 ounces of fne-looking coarse gold with him as evidence to support his statement. Returning to the creek Thursday, he and his partner, Joe Stefanikis, will cross cut the claim, and prove the value of their holdings. Their ground adJoins that which Charley Worden reported upon some weeks ago, so there seems no doubt of a well-de- fined paystreak in the district.
