HANSEN CREEK
 IS PROMISING
Government Official Says Great Possibilities for Both Placer
 and Quartz

II. G. Dickson, deputy land sur veyor of the Yukon, says that he regards the Nansen creek discov- cry as being the beginning of the opening. up of that large and promising country lying between Nesling river and. the Yukon. Ii is district of immense possi- bilitics, both in placer and quartz. As a placer proposition, il iS in class with the Dawson coun- try, being frozen ground, work able in winter, and being pre- eminently a poor mans or indi- vidual miners camp.
 "The quantity of gold to be mined is yet to be proven, but from the gold taken out lhis spring in four or five different localities, where operations were stopped by water, the prospects for the coming winter look very bright. The camp appears to be awakening considerable interest m the Dawson district, and l am of the opinion that at least two hundred men will be working there this winter.
 "AlthOugh the creeks on which good prospects were lately found are pretty we'll all located. there are other creeks headed in the same range which have sill lots of open ground. We ran basclincs on Nansen and Victoria creeks and on fifteen tributaries. The trail in from Carmacks is about 10 miles long, nearly half of which was transformed this summer by the government road gang into a very crcditablc wagon road. An appropriation next sea- son will probably put a good road right into the creeks"

The TreadwelI Steady Producer on Very Low Grade
 Ore

Running a 2i0-stamp mill for 30 l-i days. and a 3OO-stamp mill for i9 days, the Alaska Trcadwell company in March crushed i.i20 tons of ore. The total yield of gold was SI6O.- poo. or less than S2.5O per ton. The net profit was S6i.OOO. prac- iirally Sl per ion. How many falS" h".."S have been nuriurrd. and how many glittrring pros p"cius"S based upon the Alaska Trradwrll!
 Several correspondents have asked Us qt"Stinns about this fla n"llS mine. To satisfy their legi- iIHnai" curiosity, and iO refresh tn" memory of others. we may repeat that the Alaska ka-TrcadwrII mn" Il situated on Douglas is- land, opposite Juneau. Alaska. The present company, whose cap italization is 5,OOO,6OO. was or ganizcd in 1890. since when rce- ular dividends have been paid.
 The ore bodies are irregular and enormous. The average gold content runs from about S2.i5 to S3.'5 per ion, and the total cost or extraction rarely exceeds Si.55 DO" lon. About 775.0OO tons are 1''I.'ed during the year. The ore '"S' ;'v"s in 1911 ryrrrdrd G,5OO.- 0n" tons.

FISH MARKET DULL,
WITH SHORT SUPPLY
Shad Season Nears End, and Soft
Shell Crabs Coming
In.

Decided dullness marked the fish
markets this morning, trading being
light and unsatisfactory to many deal
ers.
Several varieties of fish were decid-
edly short among the offerings along
the Eleventh street wharf, and light
demand caused f1shmen to buy very
lightly.
Butterfish were scarce, while trout
and croakers were selling in the neigh
borhood of from $3.50 to So per barrel.
The shad season will close the last
of May, that fish being scarce at this
time. Roe shad brings so cents and so
cents each, buck shad being about 10
cents cheaper.
Early consignments of soft shell crabs
from the lower Potomac are being re-
ceived, although the crab season will
not be in full swing until the middle
Of next month.
The barge Venus is unloading a cargo
of smooth pine lumber from points
near Suffolk. Va. at the Eleventh
street wharf. The cargo amounted to
about $4,000 feet. approximately six

election. This leaves Robert s. Bar
rett alone in the First ward. The city
is now facing a somewhat puzzling sit
uation. Several weeks ago Urban s.
Lambert was appointed by council to
the vacancy in that body, caused by
the death of Hubert Snowden whose
term did not expire until September,
1914. Through the discovery of a law oil
the subject, It IS said that Lambert Ia
entitled only to hold his seat until the
next general election. He not having
filed his name. his term will automati-
cally expire on September 1. and Bar
rett. being without opposition, will take
his seat. There Is doubt in some quar-
ters as to the application of this law
to council, and In ALL probability will
be referred to the courts. The same
situation exists in the Second ward
where Robert NJ. Graham Is fillinR Out

entered his name as a candidate, while
Graham, like Lambert. did not.
