MYSTERY SURROUNDS
 REPORTED DISCOVERY

Considerable mystery still surrounds the party of Russians who are reported to have struck pay on a creek which comes ill on the left limit of the Idita- rod, dozen miles or so below town.
 It is said that pay has been found on each of the three claims so far re corded, and the ground is now being blocked out ready for mining Several other claims have been staked, but for some reason or other not recorded.
 The leader of the party has had nine years experience in placer mining and appears to know what he is about. A story is going the rounds that when he came to I1itarod to record he was ap- proached by Flat creek magnate, who expressed himself as not unwilling tu to be in on a good thing, and would the gentleman kindly guide him to the spot? The genial Russian said "Sure!" and made an appointment for the nexl day. But when, in due course. the 1T agnate repaired to the rendezvous. it was 10 learn that his quondam friend had left town in the dark of the moon.
 That is all we know of the reported find, of the Russians, or of the Flat creek magnate.

cations and as he deemed it impossible to grant that number for town the size of OlneS, Judge Overfeld declared that he was unable to choose the ones who should be granted licenses He stated that in the case of OTnes and like cases that should come up here after, he would adopt the policy of re- ferling the applications back to the people for re-signing. The residents of the different creek communities should be public-spirited enough he declared, to decide upon the question in d proper manner, as who should get the licenses. He urged l5am p u>e = much care and thought in signing 2 liquor license application as in signing business papers. He added that the signers should also embody with their signatures the number of saloons they think would be ample for the commu- nifty in which they live.

The Ruby Citizen in its issue of Jan. 3 printed d false report that does great injustice to two residents of the Idita- rod. "Ia private advices received on the last mail," says the Citizen, "the information is contained that Fred Chapman and Bob Mitchell have been arrested in Iditarod in connection with the recent holdup of the Flat Creek tram,' etc.
 There is no truth in the report and Chapman and Mitchell are naturally indignant. It is said that demand will be made upon the Citizen to pub fish a retraction, and it may be that paper will be asked to name its in- formant.

DOCKAGE LICENSE
 HELD IN AbEYANCE

Commissioner E. NJ. Stanton, of Idit- arod, having requested information as 10 proper determination of what are public docks, etc, and how 70 arrive at the total to be charged fer and col lscted from persons c0nductiur public dock, wharf or warehouse business un- der the existing license laws, Clerk of Court C c. Page has written letter 10 the commissioner going into the matter at some length. In view of the opinion expressed by the clerk, there will probably be no effort made to col lect such licenses in the Iditarod this year.
 According to Clerk Page, it does not appear from the records that any li- cen.e has ever been issued or money collected for this class of business. The Northern Commercial Company and the North American Trading and Transportation Company resisted the payment of this license tax in 1906, claiming they were not liable therefor, which gave rise to controversy be- tween the United States and the com panies and resulted in the filing of a Statement of submission without ac- tion for determination by the court. The cause came on for trial last Au gust before Judges Cushman and Over field, when it was agreed that the companies are liable for the payment of 10 cents per ton on freight handled on their wharfs at Fairbanks, con- signed to and belonging to persons or corporations other than the defendants. The cause was referred to a referee to take testimony as to the amount of freight handled by the defendants for the years 1905 to 1911, for which they were liable to pay tax under tho court ruling. The case was continued for the filing of the referees report before final judgment is rendered. The defendants excepted to the courts ruling as to their lia bi1ity and declared their intention of appealing therefrom upon the rendering of the judgment.
 Tn view of the foregoing" says the clerk of court, 'I presume 1t would be inadvisable to take any action toward collecting similar license at other points until the case is concluded"
