Set the Pace.

Young Mabel had habit when soup was served at the table of mushing her crackers or bread in it until it was great mess. Her moth- CT made many efforts to have her correct this strictly primeval habit.
 One day there was to be company at the table, and the mother said:
 "Now, Mabel, Mrs. Brown is to dine with us tonight, and I want you to act at the table just as nicely as she does. Please don't smush' your soup"
 Mabel promised faithfully to fol- low the example set by Mrs. Brown, and the dinner opened with every promise of fine time. However, Mabel was using a pair of very sharp eyes on Mrs. Brown and in an in- stant blurted forth at the top of her voice:
 "Oh, mamma, Mrs. Brown is 'mushing! May 2"

The following conversation was overheard at the breakfast table be- tween little Helen, aged ten, and an older sister:
 Helen-Last night had an aw- full dream, sister. 1 dreamt that I was going up, up, up, and then I came down, down, down again.
 Sister-That was your soul going up to heaven to have all the naughty things you have done taken away. Then it came back again to your body.
 Helen (after moment of thoughtful 'silence)-But, oh, sis ter! S'pos'n' you had wakened me while it was up in heaven, what would ever have done without it.? New York Journal.

plead that the Titanic came to her end without her owners ''p1;v- ity,' and that consequently the company cannot rsceive even the limitation of it's liability which the British law provides.
 This loss of life and personal injury amounts to 15 pounds, or about $75 per ton on the gross tonnage of the wrecked vessel, and for property loss to eight pounds, OF $40, and in the case of the Titanic this is reckOned at about $3,OOO.O .OOO.

ANOTHER DANCE
 OnGYMNASIUM

The social ball-the first of the winter ,eason--giyen fer the benefit of the gymna- ,ium fund of Camp Iditarod No. P last saturday night was well attended and the net receipts amounted to nearly S250 Quite a number were in attendance from the creeks, and many more would have come had the trai!s been in better sleighing con ,.!tion The music, furnished by Mrs. P G. Charles and Mr Bain, with piano and man dcln, was splendid, and the dancers showed their appreciation with vigorous en- cores. The committee in charge of the af fair provided and served light refreshments throughout the evening, feature that ,roved very agreeable to the dancers, and also added pretty penny to the fund for which the dance was given.
 The affair being such an enjoyable occa- sion, gave everybody an appetite for more If the same amusement, and it has been decided that another party along the same Ines and for the same purpose would be the proper thing so one will be held at the anne place next Saturday night, November 15, after which everybody can take a good rest until Thanksgiving day, the 27th, when

LATEST ABOUT THE
 WILSON CREEK STRIKE

The Nome papers devote considerable space to the "Andreafski strike" so-called. From news standp there appears to be nothing to add to the story published in The Pioneer of September ?, and the letters of later date Not enough prospect ing has been done to determine the extent or value of the find, and nothing has yet developed to justify q stampede The indl cations are favorable and it is possible that gold in paying quantities may yet be found.
 w. W. Johnson of the Union Construc ton Company gave the following interview to the Nome Nugget recently. He was one of the first ot reach the new digsings after the strike was reported at St. Michael
 The misnamed Andreafski strike is in reality 65 miles above. at a place called Marshall City The discovery was made seven miles up Wilson creek, which enters the Yukon at this point at the mouth of d short stream called Disappointment creek. This creek is one and one-half miles long and has only six claims on it, Wilson creek is l2 miles in length. Discovery was made where the high rim of Wilson WAS exposed, and there was from three to six feet of gravel on this rim, which has come out of Disappointment creek.
 The gold is in gravel, and Mr. Johnson took thirteen pans in rocker from bed rock to surface on its face which weighed Sl2 cents. Eleven pans were taken from different points, and these when rocked weighed 35 cents. One pan was picked in the gravel This weighed 8 cents.
 At point 25O feet up Disappointment creek they have a shaft nine feet deep, which is not yet down to bedrock, but is as Geep as it can go on account of water. l, is claimed that the last six feet of gravel in this shaft banned from ? to 10 cents per pan MT. Johnson took three pans near the tc? which weighed 16 cents. In one of these pans was a l0-cent nugget. Bedrock in this shaft would probably be about l5 feet.
 On the next claim above about 1000
Iditarod pioneer., 1913-11-08

feet up the creek, shaft is down on right limit 2l feet The best pans are claimed to be ? cents Three pans taken around the top of this dump weighed less than cent altogether This shaft is about 150 feet from the center of the creek bed and might be of the pay streak.
 A drilt is now crosscuttlng Wilson above the mouth of Disappointment creek, and it IS expected that some additional ntor nation will be forwarded by the last boat down the river about the 10th inst.
 The formation is schist, porphyry and granite. The day Mir Johnson left. Sept. 29. men had come back from creek just over the divide south of Wilson creek, and claimed to have found as high as l cent pan in surface gravel.
 At present there are about 15 men in the camp, and most of them feel that, while there is hardly enough in sight to warrant a stampede, the surrounding country IS a great place to prospect. and these men are making preparations to spend the winter Tn this work.
 There is ample timber for fuel and other prospecting purposes. There are some trees up to l2 and IS inches in diameter
 The Northern Commercial Company has a barge loaded with provisions for about 15 men for the winter This will be left at Marshall City.
 Ground is being stal,ed so as to conform to the new mining law, and 1t is generally accepted that unless a man does Sl00 worth of locaticn wcrk within 90 days his clam will be open for relocation.
 The creeks are thawed. but as a rule the benches will he found to be frozen,
 As q matter of fact there has not been enough development as yet to warrant either condemning or boo.ing the camp.
 Where the discovery was made they have from 21O,0OO to S15,000 in sight which it will pay to shovel in,
 There are six other short creeks in ad- dition to Disappointment, all emptying into Wilson creek.
 A surprising feature of it all is that while some of these are from one and oneha-f to two miles in length there Is 8 sl2lce head of water in each creek.
