On the return to Dawson of a fast dog team that left here last Sunday for the Chisana diggings, the distance between prominent points on the trail will have been measured and marked. The "Sledometer" is a wheel fourteen inches in di- ameter, with quarter inch spikes an inch and a half apart on its circumferanrs. The wheel is mounted between shortened bicycle forks, and on the shaft by which it is attach ed to the handlebar upright of the sled. There is a universal joint which allows the wheel always to run in the packed snow of the runner track of the Slelgh. Attached to the fork in which the wheel revolves is q small meter, similar to the common cyclometer used on bicycles, but reading for a 14- inch wheel instead of the usual 28-inch bicycle wheel. The "sledmeter" is the invention of II. o. Lokken, government tel egraph lineman, formerly at Big Salmon, but at present at Yukon Crossing.

The winter health resort, the Cinema Hot Springs, is the center of interest now that the winter has set in, and every miner and prospector in its vicinity, and others able to take vacation, plan on spend ing few weeks at least at this famous resort. The springs are located siXty-one miles from Fairbanks and weekly stage runs between the two places, which makes the run in little over a day. The water bubbles out of the ground in numerous places and an egg dropped in the clear crystal like water bells soft in five minutes. The waters are beneficial in cases of rheumatism, stomach troub- les, general debility and all sorts of skin diseases. There are many instances where min CTS, who are crippled with rheu matiSim. had to be carried from the stage, after taking daily baths were able to walk unaided within a few days. and after a stay of severe weeks were cured enti ely.

A,askans are all more or less interested in the effort that is being made to bring out sam pie of Matanuska coal, to be subjected to rigid test by the navy department. A Cordoya report says: Recent arrivals from the Iditarod says the gov ernment party under Jack Dal

They have the builE ings for both men and horses finished at Knik and several points along the trail and ex- pect to begin the work of trans porting the coal within a few days. They are of the opinion that if given free hand Dal- ton will land the coal at the coast in good time but report that there is friction between him and Swift, the paymaster for the government. Dalton was anxious that the work should be rushed with all pos sible speed while the weather was such that men could work to advantage. He hired every man he could get and put him to work. The paymaster ob- jected. believing that only the men brought from the States with the party should be en- ployed. Dalton was forceable in his arguments and is now n undisputed command. The paymaster is understood to have reported the matter to the partment at Washington and tie men are waiting to see the outcome.
