the vast majority OF dog bites are in

NAY VISIT Us LATER
SAYS BISHOP P. T. ROWE

Bishop Rowe, Archdeacon Stuck and
Rev. c. Z. Betticher, Jr., who intended
to visit Iditarod this month, have had
to postpone their trip up river on ac-
count of low water The information
comes in a letter to Mrs Davis from
Mr.. Betticher.
The launch Pelican, on which the
three ecclesiastics are travelling,
reached Il point on the Iditarod river
about three miles below Dikeman, be-
ycnd which it was impossible to pro
coed, as the launch draws too much
water.
eff it were not for the fact that the
bishop has SO little time at his dis
posal," says Mr.. Betticher in his letter,
she would get through on one Of the
small boats. That, however, is out OF
the question"
Bishop Rowe promises that this sec
tion will be visited some time during
the summer, and expresses his sincere
regrets that he cannot get to the Idit-
arod at this time.
The Bishop must be in Nome in time
to catch the revenue cutter Bear for
the Arctic.

HILLTOP MINERS
ARE NEGLECTED

lie numerous operators on the
hillside at the head of Flat and
Happy creeks complain that their
interests are neglected by The road
commissioner.
The operators point ouf, as JUST
hcation for their complaint, that
although many Of them have been
working Oil the cl1ims for over two
years, yet the road commissioner
has not expended single dollar in
road work that would directly ben
eft them. Consequently all goods
necessary 70! tie working of their
ground have to he conveyed thereto
through the laborious and expen-
sive agency Of the pack mule
Under such conditions it is impos-
sible to work much Of tie ground
at fair margin o. profit.
According to many who have
been over the ground, the hillside
claims would make an ideal by
draulicking proposition, but the
divided ownership which at present
prevails precludes the possibility of
the employment Of such methods
for several ears to come.

TRUTH WILL Be KNOWN
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS

Little more can be learned at pres
ent regarding the possibilities of the
new strike back of Simel City on the
Innollo. Returning stampeders are al
most unanimous ia asserting that the
country promises we'll enough, but
work done to date has been insufficient
to prove the district either one way or
the other.
The report that the whole district
has been punctured with holes is not
true. Indeed there has been very little
sinking done at all. 1t is claimed, how
ever that the so odd dollars in dust
taken out by Fred Anderson and others
came from much larger area Of bed
rock than was previously reported, and
the general opinion seems to be that
the discoveries have been over op-
timistic regarding their find.
Fred Anderson has boiler on Color
ado, and he and his partners are pros
pectng that creek. Another boiler
was on the way and has probably been
installed by now.
1t is reported that j. J. Price has
secured an option on Eldorado creek,
and has put up the money to have the
ground thoroughly prospected. The
option runs for 30 days, at the end of
which time several thousands of dollars
become due if the option is taken up.
One or two who returned last Sunday
stated that the best prospects up to the
time of their departure did not 60 more
than l cent to the pan, but this is be-
lieved to be unduly pessimistic. In any

PROFESSOR EEWS0I HURRIES
TO THE kNIAK In A LAUEGH

Prof. J. f. Newsom, the eminent
geologist, who is believed to be con
nected with the Yukon Gold Company
in some way, is making a hurry-up
trip to the Aniak.
The professor arrived in Iditaro1
June q last. and left almost immeli-
ately for Flat. After a few days in
that neighborhOod he went overland to
Georgetown. At Georgetown the pro
tessor hired fast launch, engaged
George Fredericks, the Georgetown
roadhouse man, as helper, and took
along a man named Taylor as guide.
1t was learned before the party left
Georgetown that Fredericks had been
directed to get to the Aniaz in as short
time as possible; to go up that stream
as far as the draft of the launch would
allow, and then take to the polling boat
which they had with them for the
journey to the beadwaters of the
Aniak.
Professor Newsom' appearance on
the Kuskobwim gave rise to consider
able speculation among the hardy pio-
neers of the region. Some asserted
that he was merely after bugs: but
his subsequent movements and appa-
rent haste to get over the ground
argued that he was after bigger game.
Professor Newsom did not enlighten

PRITCHARD RESIDENCE
WAS BURNT OUT MONDAY

Last Monday evening a fire broke
out in the rear part OF the Pritchard
residence on Black street, and consid-
cradle damage to property resulted,
although the house was saved.
The fire department had been prac-
ticing, and when the alarm was turned
in the hose was stretched along Front
street disjoiated. As soon as the loca-
tion of the fire was made known by J.
w. Charlton, willing hands helped to
carry the hose along Willow, Caribou
and Black streets, and in a very few
minutes all was ready and the water
made short work of the blaze. The
chemical had reached the scene earlier
and was playing on the fire when the
water arrived. Mr.. Banks was ably
assisted at the nozzle by Mayor Barnes,
]. r. McGOyern, Eric Hard, Joe Brad
ley, Harry the Jap. ard others, and it
was owing to their strenuous efforts
that the fire was confined to such mar
row limits.
The building is not much damaged.
but the interior decorations, furniture
and personal effects suffered to a con-
siderable extent from water, and the
loss on this account will be fairly
serious.
The origin of the fire is not known
positively, but it is thought to have
been caused by the stove in the kitchen
being set too near the wall, the paper
on which evidently was the first thing
to become ignited At the time the
fire started both Mr.. and Mrs. Pritch-
ard were away. Mrs. Pritchard, who
had been preparing the dinner, left the
house to call her husband, and when
the latter arrived it was to find part of
his residence in fam es.
The house, which is of frame con-
struction, belongs to J. A. Sippern.
Mr.. Pritchard had spent good deal of
money in fixing it up, one way and an
other.
The only accident recorded happened
to Eric Hard. Joe Bradley was holding
the nozzle when the water was turned
on, and had it pointed full at Hard,
who got the first of the water iull in
the chest, and was thrown off his feet.
He soon recovered himself.
