Cordova, December 15

Malcolm Brock, manager for s. Blum & Co.,, returned on the train last night from trip to Chitina. He reports the interior town as lively and says the business men are doing a good business. This is especially true of the hotels owing to the heavy holiday travel from interior points. Men are also constantly coming from and going to the Chisana and Nelchina camps. Sev- eral outfits left Chitina for Chisana while MT. Brock was there. They were men who had been In the camp and had located ground and had come out for supplies.
 MT. Brock states that the people of Chitina expect to hear of several pew diggings being reported in the upper Tanana before spring. There are many parties of prospectors scat tered along the river who failed to reach the Chisana owing to the low water which prevented the steam CTS from reaching their destination. The miners have spread out over the country in the vicinity of the places where they were frozen in, intending to prospect until the rivers were frozen and they could proceed to the Chisana. Some of them are sure to find pay as the upper Panama has always responded to intelligent prospecting and the miners.
 The members of one party crossed the divide and have been prospect ing in the Slate Creek district. They are reported to have found pay on creek but have not done sufficient work to know how extensive it is. The prospectors are working on streams on both limits of the Tan ana and as they have big outfits many of them will not be heard from until the opening of naviga- tion unless some other prospector meets them by chance.
 There is one sure thing and that is that the streams of the upper Tanana will be prospected during the winter as they have never been before.

To see Alaska, or a large chunk of the territory, by dog team is the purpose of Deming Wheeler, a Hoosier state banker. Neither the element of time nor the expense en- tailed in the overland journy, will cut any figure with MT. Wheeler. He is in Alaska for an outing; has plenty of money at his command, and is entirely free to follow his own designs and inclinations.
 MT. Wheeler has outlined for him. self quite lengthy mush, which will take nearly the entire winter. His plan is to start from Cordova, go to Fairbanks, from thence to the Eagle and Forty-mile regions; thence to Ruby and the Iditarod, and from thence to Seward. There is nothing arbitrary about his planned itinerary however. He will be guided in his course entirely by his own whim or caprice, and go wherever he may wish.
 While in Seward MT. Wheeler purchased a fine dog team from F.. L. Bailaine and Brorius & Noon made him a sled just suited to the purpose in view.

Emil Mande is in a position to
 fully realize the truth of the biblical teaching that vengeance is mine
 sayeth the Lord" He is the guest
 of the city where he is working out
 his fine of $90 and costs at the rate of $2 per. The costs amounted to $40.95 so Emil will be absent from
 his usual haunts for about 65 F days. It is possible that the law
 may overlook the 95 cents worth of time if he proves himself handy
 with the snow shovel.
 It appears that the trouble started when John Christianson poked MT. Mande in the eye. It was not an upper cut, swing or fancy blow. Just an ordinary garden variety of poke. It did not even discolor his optic. He swore to have vengeance and after this will no doubt be satis- fled to leave it to the future to bal
 ance accounts rather than attempt to do so through the medium of the commissioners office.
 Mande swore out a warrant and had Christianson arrested. His friends tried to pursuade him to
 let the matter drop but he wanted vengeance. When the case came to
 trial Christianson pleaded guilty to
 handing Emil one and was given a fine of SIP and costs. Christianson
 then had Mande arrested on the
 charge of assault and brought sev-
 eral witnesses into court to prove his contention that he was not the
 aggressor.
 Judge Adams did not relish the idea of Mande attempting to get
 even by using his court to punish Christianson for something which he had started and could not finish
 The judge handed him a package
 which will insure him a Christmas
 dinner unless some kind friend
 comes along with the $130.95. In
 that case the services of the under taker will be in demand as several
 people will drop dead.

Chickimun Creek, in the Nelchina district, is regarded as a stream of splendid possibilities as a gold pro- ducer. It is fairly large creek and flows from the left limit into the lower reaches of Crooked Creek. Its name, in Chinook Indian nomencla- ture signifies money, and it seems very probable now that it was a happy thought that caused the orig inal discoverer to so designate it.
 In a letter received from William Elliott, better known as Billie the Horse," the writer ventures the opinion that Chickimun will prove a winner. This belief is founded on prospects obtained by Elliott on this creek. At the time he wrote he had penetrated the overburden and at tained depth of three feet in wash gravel, through which coarse gold is literally prevalent. Such strong indication very naturally inspires the faith of Elliott, who writes that he expects to find rich pay on bed
 rock.
