MAY REVOLUTIONIZE
 METHODS OF MINING

Fairbanks News Miner, November lG: An invention that should, in the opinion of mining men, who have examined it, revolutioniZe the handling of low-grade ground, has just been perfected by N. c. Cox and J. s. Rosburg, of Chatanika their machine being styled a "One bucket underground dredge." Draw ng5 and model of the dredger for which patent has been applied may be seen at the Samson Hardware Com pany of Garden Island.
 The cutting and carrying element of the dredger is big bucket or scraper handled by cables, which bucket trav. els over q frame work about the height of the drift, then down 10 the floor There it is pulled against the face cuts all of the way to the top as it moves up over the framework to the rear, where it dumps into a car. With each cut of the scraper the framework is moved up closer by cable and tightly locked be tween floor and roof
 In operating this machine the start would be made at a cross tunnel driven into the main face From this cross tunnel the dredger would work along parallel to the face, cutting out strip the width of the bucket.

WOOD SHORTAGE
 ALL THIS WEEK

There is shortage of wood for immediate delivery in Iditarod at the present time. It is not that the supply has actually run out, for there is still plenty cut within easy reach of the citv-but there are no teams available to haul it in.
 When the city asked for bids for the supply of wood for the fire hall it was thought there would be a certain amount-ef competition; but Paul Le Plant was the only one 10 bid.
 Nearly every team ill the district is busy hauling wood on the creeks, leaving only two or three teams for local use.

VARIATION SHOWN
 IN THERMOMETERS

During the cold spell there was considerable divergence i'll temper atures recorded by local thermolne- ters, the difference in some cases amounting to 10 degrees. Commls- sioner Albrecht is of opinion that the N. C. thermometer registers too low, compared with the one he used himself, which was government tested. He declares the one out side the Budwei>er to be more nearly correct, the variation being but two or three degrees.
 Considerable misconception pre- vails regarding winter temperature in Inteiior Alaska, old timers being fond of telling of the 7o-below weather which prevailed in this or that camp during the first years ol its existence. As matter of fact these statements are generally founded OH hearsay, as government records show no such low .tempera lures as those spoken of Major General Greedy, in his authoritative work on Alaska, is responsible for the statement that the lowest tem- perature recorded bya government tested instrument al Fairbanks is 5S1s below. The lowest tempera ture ever recorded south of the Yukon Is 60 below Fork Yukon is the colde>t place ill Alaska of which there is record, the ther- mometer at that place averaging 10 degrees lower than Poiut Barrow.
 In our telegraph!c news .or last week there was message from Nome which placed the tempera- lure at B below in the city, and 53 below at Candle-auG this is the coldest season in the history Of the peninsula

WORK FOR THE LEGISLATURE
(tairbanks Times Decmber l6. 1912 )

Whatever may be the outcome of the cases against Captain Banette yet to be tried the acquitta of the former the condition of his bank leaves doubt to the urgent need of legislative action which will prevent other bank officials from allowing the pursued by the officers of the efuuct Fairbanks Banking company, and its defunc successor the Washington Alaska bank of Nevada
 All readers of the Times long discovered that there existed dangerous axy in the general banking laws Of the country it would not have required the combined efforts of two grand ures and government bank exam iner the indictment of the officials of the defuct bank But is doubtful if very many 1ananaites re- azed fully to what lengths banker could go without overseppng the regulations Few people in this part of Alaska suspected prior to the hearing of the bank which already have been concluded that officers of the Washington Alaska bank had the legal right under the liberal laws of Alaska, to tell their deositors that certain of real money had been paid into the bank in exchange for stock when matter of fact, large part of the alleged money was not money at all.
 Until they had read the account of the proceedings at Valdez, few people aware that the bank officials had the right to further deceive their depositors by causing them to believe the statement of the banks condition had been to- when matter of fact it only had the appearance of having been attested.
 Fewer people believed until enlightened by the account of the trial that the authority vested in notary public could be used additional weapon against the public Yet two of the witnesses for the indicted bankers have ad med the stand that they deliberately aided the oti- cas in their deception by giving the papers the appear ance that they statements.
 Judge Lyons has held that insufficient evidence was produced to prove that Captain Barnee deceived the depositors of the WashngtonAl bank with intent to defraud them and do not doubt but that the judge has
 the law to back up s declslon But It Will take more than acQuitta in accordance with the strict inerpreta tion of the liberal Alaska laws to convince the people of this district that there not uteror motive behind that combined deception of officials and legal advisers. It will be equally hard to convince the people that who stood we'll Captain Barnette did had occasion to issue that false report unless it with the object of ing his fortune at the of the deposors of his bank or with some other object equally dangerous to the public welfare
 The acquitta of Captain Barnete in the two al- ready tried should receive the consideration of the memberselect of the first territorial legislature Their first work should be directed along the lines indicated by the disgusting proceedings which have taken place at Valdez during the past several days Laws should be passed which will leave doubt in the future to the truthfuness of documents issued by those who have the funds of the pub lie in their keeping. And incidentally, few laws should !e passed for the regulation of notares public.

PROGRESS OF THE
 DEBATING SOCIETY

While no date has been set for the first public debate under the auspices of the A. B. debating society, now in process of formation, interest in the society grows daily.
 The first of the discussions will take place in camp, so that those partici- pating can find their feet and over- come their shyness before appearing in public. When confidence has been gained a public debate will De an- nounced, and all who wish may attend. If the society does not bring out some genius who has been hiding his light under bushel it will be surprise.

 PAINTED THE DOG TEAMS

The arti>tically drawn dog teams which adorned the miniature trail at the Budweiser during the week were from the faCile brush of John Strelic. They were executed in variegated colors and caused much comment. 'Tis true one of the drivers had apparently frozen his hands; another had lame back and a third was mushing in knee pants, without covering for his calves; but those were details one could overlook, considering the circumstances. The dogs were lifelike, representing any old breed, just like real teams.

BEER SH0;2TAGE LS
 WORRYING ClTIZENS

Consternation reigned for a while last week when it became noised abroad that the supply of whiskey and other beverages was dimiuish ing so rapidly that famine in these articles stared Iditarod iii the face.
 Inquiry shows that while some brands of whiskey are short there is apparently sufficient on hand to last until the opening of naviga- tion, and the same may be said of beer and cigars, although the two latter are really short, and may be exhausted earlier.
 The provision market is fairly we'll stocked with staples at pres ent, but eggs and onions are likely soon to be off the market. Gener. ally speaking, all grocery stocks will be cleaned up by the opening of navigation.
 According to one merchant a shortage of any particular article immediately leads to all increased demand for the same, as purchasers wish 10 assure themselves of sup ply ill the future when the goods may be off the market. This has been exempli6ed ill the case of eggs, which in dozens of instances have been purchased for no other reason.

BRITTON AGREES
TO MEET WHITE
AT 1873 POUNDS

New Orleans, La, July with the
arrival of Nate Lewis, manager of
Charlie White, the final details of next
Fridays twenty round match between
Jack Britton and White were settled
The boxers will weigh in three and
one-half hours before the bout, the
weight to be 1873.
When the match was first announc-
ed the weight was given as 134 pounds,
and the White supporters declared this
unfair to their candidate. Britton,
they argued. was heavier than White
and would be admirably suited by 1874
but White. who can go much below the
lightweight limit and still do justice
to himself, could not show at his best.
Britton said 1873 suited him as we'll as
1874.
Weighing time will probably be IL
o'clock, as both boxers should be in
action shortly after 800 There will
be two prelimnaries. one of six rounds
and the other of ten.
Charlie will surely continue his
winning streak" said Lewis. THE
next important match l am counting
on is between White and the winner of

Rout Two Hurlers, Gather

Bases.

Remnants and patches of the old
Pittsburgh Pirates toiled helplessly
against the Cubs in yesterdays broil-
ing sun on the west side and the Tro-
jams smothered them by a score of IL
to 2.
1t looked as if nothing ferocious is
left on Fred Clarkes team except it's
nickname, and the name put up a sor-
~ battle against Evers ambitious
athletes. who seemed inspired to great
er things upon returning to the home
lot.
Regardless of the high temperature,
the west siders clouted the ball and
ran the bases with reckless abandon.
They poled out eighteen base hits for
total of twenty-six bases. which is
some clouting for a hot day. They
bated two Pittsburgh hurlers off the
slab and worried third. and always
they presented a sturdy defense that
thwarted all but one attack of the
enemy.
