 ALONG THE TRACK. Railroad Company Is at Work on the
 Waterfront.

The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, owners of the section of water front from the lighthouse department wharf to the ferry landing are to aid the New Lon- don Municipal Art society in the gen. eral identification of the city,. This property, save the part used by the steamboat line, has for years been in a most disgraceful condition and city and the owners of the property as we'll. Now the railroad company is planning to improve this property and put it to use. Commencement will be made at what was formerly known as the Frink and Prentis wharf which will be rebuilt, the tum- ble-down building removed and new buildings erected as landing and point of shipment for the government
 transports and other steamers con- nected with the island forts of the New London Artillery district. This particular place for itinerant persons and a receptacle will then be no long CT a rendezvous of swill from the dining car department of the railroad company. The valuable water front property will be used for business pur- poses that will be of general benefit and the improved appearance will have tendency to give visitors first SOO0 impression or the Clly.
 After this work is completed it is understood that the railroad company will give attention to the improve ment of the long neglected Lawrence wharf, the bulkhead of which has long since disappeared and some of the sunken spiles are a menace to the company's steamers that enter the slip to the south of the big steamboat pier. The company is also planning to give a spring cleaning to all its property within the city limits, in keeping with the spirit that is mani fested by the company in other cities The city of New London has been and intends to be good to the rail- road company and now there is to be an exhibit of practical appreciation Norwich Bulleton

BELIEVES IN HIS DISTRICT
Proprietor of Vaughn Roadhouse wflI Carry Stock to Encour-
 age Prospeotors

Early this morning MT. B. F. Vaughn, the proprietor of a road house bearing his name about 60 miles out on the Fairbanks road was loading a big outfit on dou- ble-enders in front of the V. B. & M. store. He wanted to make an early start in order to reach Wort mans this afternoon. The trail is in fine condition and he expects to experience no trouble in mak- ing good time over the summit.
 In addition to keeping the road house MT. Vaughn intends to keep a stock of supplies on hand in order that he may be able to ac- Ic0mmOdatc prOSpectOrS and min CTS of the district. There are a number of promising properties in that district which he believes will develop into mines. He has some quartz claims himself which make a good surface showing. but as il was late in the fall when discovery was made no develop mcnt work has as yet been don !. The Ross. ClarksOn and Foster property, which is said tO be an exceptionally promising one, is within Onr-half mile of the Vaughn rOadhOuse. Fall creek. which produced some placer gold years ago, is about seven miles from the rOadhousr and the min CTS and proSpcctorS of the district make it their hradGuartcrs. Mr. 1 Vaughn reports that Ed. Dickoy has a good quartz property at tn , head of Fall creek and believes he has found the lode which pro- duced much of the placcrs in inc valley below. MT. Dickcy will de- velOD the property extensively next summer.
 l The Larson and Holland claims |upOn which strong ledge show ing good values was discovered late last fall, is within five miles of the rOadhOuse. The ledge lies close 10 the government road, en- abling the miners to land supplies at minimum cost. The disCOv- ererS have received several offers for their property, but intend to develop it themselves.
 MT. Vaughn is of the opinion that the district in which he is located is one of the best fields for prospeCtors in Alaska. He intends to keep a stock of sup plies on hand in order to encour- age the miners in every way pos siblc.

GOLD PIECES PROVE

Everett, Jan. 26.--Either there is an organized gang of coun- terfeiters in Seattle or agents for counterfeiters are working out of that city, say secret service men who were here recently to inves- ugate spurious S5 gold pieces passed in Everett. So cleverly made arc these coins that a bank ing house accepted one. The on- ly defect at first discovered is an absence of the ring" when drop ped upon a marble counter, but as matter of fact they are com- posed of pure lead and washed in gold.
