LONG CREEK IN RUBY
 DISTRICT LOOKS GOOD

RUBY CITY, March 15.-Pay run ming all the way from $1 to $2 a pan has been discovered on Long creek for miles up and down it's course, The pay streak has not been found on every claim for the reason that there are many association claims between the properties that are be- ing worked, and naturally the pay streak cannot always be picked up when there is a mile or more be- tween operators.
 A committee of business men and miners visited the creek the other day, and all of them came to the con clusion that there is a well defined rich pay streak from one end of Long creek to the other,
 Five feet of pay gravel running $2 a foot has been discovered on Monu' ment creek.

STUNTS" PROPOSED BY
 ELKS CAPTURED SEATTLE

The stunts. that are proposed for the feature ball that will be given by the Elks next week before the depart ure of the members of the Legislature recalls the hit that a similar enter tainment made some time ago in Se- attle, when the Arctic Club pulled off "A Night in Dawson"
 The magnificent assembly room of the Arctic Club was arranged to rep. resent one of Dawson's old gambling houses. There were two or three faro tables. as many roulette wheels, half-dozen tables where blackjack was being played, stud-poker tables, crap tables, keno, chuck-a-luck, and two or three other games. The guests were dressed as the average Dawson crowd of a dozen years ago was ar rayed-in fact, more than half of those who attended were Northerners or former Northerners and they wore the clothes that they had worn in the North. The floor was covered with sawdust, and everything made to harmonize with the tpye of house that was being depicted.
 The scene was so realistic that it was difficult for one that had seen the gambling houses of Juneau, Skagway, Dawson, Nome and Fairbanks of de. cade ago to realize that it was all make-believe.
 The games were presided over by well known Northern men. Jake Der ger and Joe Sullivan, the Nome and Nevada mining men; Col. w. T. Per kins, w. c. Leake, Col otterson, the Nestors. and other men whose names are familiar to those of the North, sat behind the wracks of chips or in the lookout"
 Among the spectators were c. w Young, Thomas S. Novel;, c. L. Nor ris, George Carmack, and others whose names are known from Ketchi kan to Nome.
 The hit was instantaneous and tre mendous. So successful was it, tha it had to be repeated.

HOUSE KILLS COMMERCE COURT
FISH TRAP BILL
 NOT DEAD YET

This morning Senator Sutherland read the following telegram received from Delegate Wickersham, dated at Washington, D. C., April 22: "The question of the power of the Alaska Legislature was argued twice in the department of justice and full rec ord presented to the President today by the Attorney General. There is no doubt of the power to pass fish trap bill. Members of legislature should keep their pledges to the people and act"
 President Ray, of the Senate this morning sent the following wire to Secretary to the President T. c. Tumulty: Alaska Legislature ad' journs May first. When may we ex' pect opinion on fish trap Jurisdiction submitted to the Attorney General if rendered? Please cable substance of opinion. Deemed vital to Alaska. ' Senate Bill No IT, Sutherland's an ti.fish trap bill, which was thought to have been given it's Quietus several days ago, refuses to stay dead It was given a new lease of life by the motion of Senator Breeding to recon sider the vote laying it carefully away on the shelf. Since which time it has regularly come up in it's place OF the the calendar and as regularly has been postponed to a future date.
 An effort has been made to get an opinion from the attorney general as to the power of the legislature to en' act legislation on the subject of fish traps, but as yet no direct answer has been received.
 In the debate Senator Sutherland called attention to the fact that every member of the First Division was pledged to abolish fish traps, and that they were more, concerned directly in the fishing industry than any other portion of the Territory at the pres ent time.
 Public hearings have served to make the legislature and the people gener. ally better acquainted with the situa tion than ever before and it is a cer tainty that some action will be taken either by the passage of a law or by petitioning Congress by memorial to enact Legislation affecting the fishing industry.
 In the meantime a public mass meeting has ben called for tomorrow night in the city council chambers for the purpose of discussing the situa ton. A great deal of interest is being manifested in this meeting and it promises to be well attended.
 Governor Clark wired this after noon to the attorney general for ar immediate affirmative or negative an swer on the question involved

MIGRANTS SCHOOL
 MEMORIAL PASSES

After a hard fight lngram's mem orial asking for a change in the pub lie school system of Alaska was passed in the House this morning. The meas ure is designed to increase the stand. ing of the public schools in cities without impairing country schools and to bring all the schools to higher state of efficiency.
 The Governor asked for confer. ence on the Roden eight.hour bill re- gently submitted for his consideration on account of a seeming ambiguity in one section. It was feared that the bill might be construed to include pla. cers in its provisions although it was apparent that the legislature sought to exclude them. It was decided to insert in the records of both houses statement to the effect that the bill does not in any manner include pla. cer mines of any description and ap' plys to metalifferous quartz mines only
