UNIVERSITY STUDENT WHO
MADE MONEY IN eoLDFIELD,
NOW IN NEW CAMP

The new camp of Rochester has
several residents from among the
students OF the university who have
been winning their way through col
lege and who We're unable to resist
the lure of boom times and the
chance Of a possible stake that would
obviate the necessity of working
through to diploma. Among these
is James Curtin. OF football fame,
known on the athletic field as Goat"
Curtin, one OF the stars Of the last
Rugby season and who was one Of
the first to respond to the call from
Rochester
Curtin first became inoculated with
the stampede germ m Goldfield
where he was pioneer newsboy in
the days when that camp consisted
mainly ct bottle houses and tents.
He sold papers on the streets of
Goldfield, then went into a notion
store on a small scale and finally
into monopolistie business of con
trolling all Of such stores in the
primitive camp. At this stage In the
Goldfield boom days he became phil
anthropio and organized the first
newsboys' union in Nevada where no
paper could be had for less than ten
cents and not over rs cents,
This work for the juvenile store
keeper gained for him many friends
and he received from a good natured
acquaintance 10000 shares of stock
in one Of the preliminary companies
of Goldfield. This stock was never
considered to be OF any special value
by the boy until one day In res
taurant he overheard conversation
relative to the merits OF the prop.
erty hiE stock covered. The mine
! produced some high grade ore and
the stock went TO a dividend paying
basis at par value. Then Curtin sold
and with 10000 round dollars to HIS
credit went east to the bedside OF
his father who had been bereft Of a
fortune and forsaken by his family
James, with his jeans well lined
came to the rescue and paid off the
farm mortgage with the Goldfield
money, but almost too late. for after
the debts had been settled the father
died and left the estate to be set
tied by probate. James, being the
youngest OF the children and not
yet Of age, received only a small
part of the estate that he had him.
self saved for the family and thus
was again forced to search for his
own livelihood in the west.
He entered the University OF Ne.
vada as a member of the preparatory
school three years ago and has been
earning his way and attending col
lege ever since. The lure Of the gold
in Rochester proved his undoing as
far as college was concerned and he
went out to the camp in hopes of
receiving tho usual high wages and
chance of working two shifts. This
is exactly what the lad is doing to-
day at Rochester canyon and he
writes his friends at the university
that he hopes to be able to return
to college and go through right"

says, eand ! am going to earn it my

Something About
 Key Pullman

Key Pittman, the new junior sena- ator from Nevada and grandnephew of Francis Scott Key, the song writer, has lived more Alaska adventures than one would find in a couple of Rex Beach novels. In fact, he was the leading legal counsel for the miners in their fight against political con. spiracy to rob them, as set forth in "The Spoilers" And practicing law in the gold country in those days re- Quired the hardihood of a dozen Pill grim fathers, combined with the re- sourcefullness of a William J. Burns.
 But before he set up to practice his profession at Nome, Pittman hit the Skagway trail for the Klondike and worked as a common miner for two years. He reached the Klondike with nothing but a slightly worn dime in his pocket.
 Imagine yourself young man from a fine old Southern family, with only 10 cents in your pocket, in a country where drinks sold for a dollar each!
 When he struck Nome, Pittman mo- ticed a valuable strip of vacant land abutting the main street and running back to the beach. United States sol diers. who were the only visible evi- dence of law, guarded that land, on the theory that it was all beach. Even at night, a sentiment paced back and forth to prevent anybody from settling on it. Pittman found that after al- lowing sixty feet for the beach at high tide, as required by law, there was still a strip forty ffet deep abutting the street. He asked for permission to take squatter's rights to some Of this. but was refused. Then he got the use of a room in the rear of a saloon nearby and built himself cab in. When the sentinel was at the oth- CT end of the strip, Pittman and some of his friends moved his cabin on to the lot he wanted. On the front of the cabin was a sign which said: "Key Pittman, Attorney-At-Law." This was his office.-Fred Kelly, in Seattle Post Intelligencer.

Gov. Walter D. Clark said last night that he is not opposed to woman suf- frage, and if he finds no flaws in the Shoup bill that passed the Senate by a unanimous vote yesterday that he will sign the bill.
 The bill will become law ninety days after the Gvoernor shall have at, tached his signature. Therefore, the women of Alaska will be barred from participating in but one more election. The municipal cleo. tions next month will be the last in which the women of the territory will not have their part to perform.
 Col. Chas. F. Ingersoll, Representa- tive from Ketchikan, the only member of either house not to cast his vote for the woman suffrage bill, in a speech in the House yesterday, said that he was not opposeI to woman suffrage nor to the bill that had just passed. He said that if he had been

The All.AIaska-Sweepstakes or Arc tic Derby. which is the principal an, nuaI dog race in Alaska. has since it's inception in 1908 become an object of national interest. From san Fran, cisco and Seattle to New York the keenest interest is manifested in this great sporting event and news of the contest is eagerly sought wherever Alaskaus are congregated.
 While the great event is held under the auspices of the Nome Kennel Club, which hangs up three purses, the gen. eral interest throughout the territory has been growing so rapidly that other sections desire to participate. Idita- rod. Ruby and Fairbanks have been caught in the excitement and will en- ter teams in the race this year.
 Members Of the legislature from the second and Fourth Divisl lons and other well known citizens determined that the First and Third Divisions should also be allowed to participate in this great event. It has therefore been de termined to hold a grand benefit en, tertaiumeut and ball for the All-Alas- ka Sweepstakes, in Juneau, Friday night March 2S.
 Already enthusiasm has been raised to a high pitch and with the organi- zation back Of the movement it is bound 10 be a great success.
