Here again careful attention to de
tail saved the day and made steady
and continuous work possible in the
shops. What is known as the Duxbal
betting solved the problem and wiped
out all the delays due to poor belts
which had previously been experienced.
Over $4,000 feet of this betting, some
of it under the most trying conditions,
has given the best results in every case.
None of the adverse conditions af-
fected the betting in any way and loss
of time from this cause was eliminated
inn all the shops.
And while betting may seem like a
small item in the building of the great
canal, it is not difficult to imagine the
long delay and the increased expense
if the shovels and locomotives had been
compelled to lie idle day after day
while ordinary betting was giving out,
making it impossible to run the ma.
chimes.

LIQUOR BILLS UP
 IN LEGISLATURE

Two bills were introduced in the House of Representatives yesterday, dealing with the liquor traffic in Alas, ka One of them. House Bill No. 7' by Representative Milo Kelly, would limit the number of saloon licenses to be issued by the United States dis rric, court tn any municipality or community to one for each 500 of population. Petitions praying for the passage of this bill have been re- ceived from many sections os the ter, ritory and presented to the legisla, ture. In other sections opposition to it has developed,

House Bill No. ?, introduced yes terday. makes an Indian thaJ solicits a white man to purchase or give him liouor guilty of crime as we'll as the man that sells or gives it 10 him. This bill is intended to meet a situation that has attracted a great deal of comment throughout the North for some time. It is contended that In. dians will beg for liquor and pay fancy prices 10 get it, and then inform on those that furnish it to them in order to get witness fees. It is believed by many that they would not try so hard to get it if they knew that the jail confronted them for asking for it.

Stampede to Jennings
 River, Lake TesIin

100 miles. The discovery was made by James Ward, an Indian, who brought out $40 in coarse gold, some pieces weighing 25 cents. This was in September and several people went over to make locations. Ward, the Indian, said that he did not know how extensive the pay is but is is shallow diggings
 Hildebrand said there were three routes to the diggings from Atlin but it is probable that most of the stan. peders will take the beaten trail. The fayorite route will probably be from Atlm over Surprise Lake, thence across a low divide and down Conso- lation creek to Lake Gladys, thence down the valley of Iron creek for 30 miles to Teslin, thence 50 miles up the Jennings river valley to Silver creek where the discovery was made. Maps of this route have been made and all of the stampedeTs from below have been furnished with them. It is reported that there are at least six of the streams on which pay has been located and as the claims are small and the holdings limited it is argued that if the strike is genuine that chances are good.
 skookum Jim is reported to have told Tom Ashby that it was a mighty tough country There are no road houses or other accommodations and provisions have to be sledded in.
 Mir. Crane, an old and well known Nomcite, accompanied by Tom Coch. rane and D. Green is among the stan. peders.
 John Johnson, oi Nome, who was one of the partners in the Portland bench lay that made fortune in six weeks, is another of the mushers head. ed for the strike
 Dan Kennedy and Phil McKanna are among the Juneau stampeders. They have a good dog team and are amply provided in every respect. As they are both old at the business of mush. ing it is a certainty that they will get there. Fred Lewis, another Juneaute, who has been bitten by the gold bug left on the Jefferson and will outfit in Atlin.
 A. E. Berry, who came from Seward on the Yukon with fine dog team, left with q hired man on the Jetfer- son last night headed for the strike.
 There are many others whose names cannot be learned who have quietly slipped aboard and headed for the strike.

Sever al of the officers under the old regime were reelected. It is now up to the subordinate camps to ratily the action of the convention in order 70 give the new Grand Camp official standing.
 Sixteen of the twenty-three camps of the order were represented on the floor by living delegates with the eN- ception of four. which were represent- ed by proxies. From the sentiments expressed by the delegates there is no doubt but that the required two-thirds of an the camps will endorse the ac- ton taken.
 There is a movement on foot to es- tablish Arctic Brotherhood clubs in Outside cities fo. the benefit of mem bers of the order who have ceased to be residents of the North This move ment was started by Camp Dawson No. f.
 It was decided to encourage the n- stanatiou of subordinate camp in Ju- ueau

For a few brief moments last night Juneau slipped back to the days of ,98. Delivery wagons loaded with the familiar Yukon trail sleds hurried to the City dock. Dogs of all descrip. tion thought to be fit for trail duty were in evidence. Little groups Of men here and there were earnestly discussing the situation.
 In some way the report became prev alent that 200 stampeders headed by Geo. Carmack and Jim Mason (Skoo. kuf Jim), were aboard the Jefferson heaGed for the new Lake Teslin strike. Juneau caught the fever and many hurricaly prepared for the great mush.
 When the Jefferson docked a large crowd was there to meet the stamped' CTS. Carmack slipped ashore and wis tied briefly with old friends up town. Skookum Jim remained aboard the ship. and when approached on the subject would not say word-"George is up town" is all the information that could be elicited.
 George Carmack said to a very old friend that there was nothing to give out; nothing to warrant a stampede; that he did not know how good or bad it was, but that he is going to look it over. He is accompanied by his family and is prepared to travel with an outfit.
 Billy Leak, one of the best known of the old sourdoughs is among the corwd from below that are following Carmack. Billy says that he knows absolutely nothing about the country but that he was not so busy but that he could make the trip. He is just taking a chance like the others. but he thinks it a good chance.
 One of the oldest sourdoughs in the country who was with Carmack last night said although George would give him no direct confirmation that he was satisfied that the strike was genuine and that it was good. Carmack dropped some very important business to go on this stampede; it is argued that he would not have done this eX, cept for the fact that Skookum Jim Mason, his brother.in.law had gone af' ter him.
 The first authentic news to be pub, lished on the strike was in The Empire of Dec. 31. In an interview with Jas. A. Hildebrand, which was confirmed by J. M. RuGner. The strike, accord ing to Hildebrand was made on Sill yer creek, which flows into Teslin Lake and is southeast of Atlin about
