Volney Richmond, superintendent Of the N. c. Posts, who arrived on the last steamer from the lower river, is here awaiting the arrival of General Manager W. H. Fairbanks, who is expected here within a few days. Mir. Richmond keeps in close touch with the various camps of the Yukon basin. Regarding their out put for the year, he says:
 Fairbanks will produce about $3,O0O,0OO this year. Hot Springs will yield possibly $GOO,OOO; Ruby, $750,OO0 to $1,OOO,OOO; Iditarod, $2, J0O0,O0O; Koyukuk, possibly $2OO,- GOO, which was the figure of last year; Innoko, $15O,OOO to $2OO,O0O; Marshall City, a few thousand; Cir cle, don't know; Rampant, forget il.
 Tn the Ruby camp the situation is improved considerably, but of course the yield there is not enough to make a big camp.
 On otter, in the Iditarod camp, Marstol's new dredge started May 2S. It has two and a half-foot buckets, and is driven with gasoline A similar dredge is coming this sea son forClarence Berry's ground In the Circle disertct. Dredges of that type are numerous in the Nome dis uict, where they are a success.
 Tt is understood Tom Aiken has bought the ground which Harold seddou had organized on Candle creek, near Tacotna, or the Kusko- 5wim. It is supposed to be five miles long"
 "The Fairbanks country does not g.ve promise of becoming a dredg- ing proposition, as it is said there drc only about three miles of ground there less than 50 feet in depth, and most of it much deeper, some running 100 to 200 fec or more to,-bedrock. Fairbanks, how ever, has the great virtue of being a camp tor the individual, and dis Jributing the money among every body. y.'--Dawson News, June 2oth.

TIE FOURTH
 IN SkA6UAY

From the best information we can get all the preparations are prac- ucuIly completed for the celebration of the Fourth of July in Skagway. Excursion rates will be effective uu the ". P. & Y. R. between here and Whitehorse, and there will no doubt he a big crowd come over to have a good time with Us from aR points along the line of the rail- road.
 The sports committee has not fur a.shod Us with it's program yet and We are therefore unable to specify either the events that are schedul- .d to take place or the purses that have been hung up to compete for, but as there are $500 in the gener- u fund there will be many prizes to reward those who prove them selves the most proficient in the athletic contests.
 There will also be dancing, for which excellent music has been en- gagad, cu Friday and Saturday nights.
 An invitation has been extended to Ft ". II. Seward and the good people of Haines, and there will be many from both these places who will attend. Probably the &Oth iu- f0uuy hand will be present and add 10 the joyousuess of the occasion by instrumental selections.

More About the LibcrtyyilIc and Jack
son Road

Let me begin lna communication
by stating that ] asked the Hon.
County Court in last weeks issue OF
the Tim. IL r.w questions which they
failed to answer. The questions were;
why had thcy gone back to the old
plan Of letting road contracts to the
lowest and best bidder while they
gave the work of GravelinE one and
onc-half miles of the Libcrtyville and
jackson road TO one man without ad'
vertising for bids or letting any one
else figure on the work ?" Also why
they are receiving this mans work
under his contract for gravel when
he is hauling and putting on the road
plenty of ROCK that weigh from one
to eighteen pounds each?' weighed
some Of these rocks in the presence
Of witnesses.
The court in its reply says; 1--WE
inspected the work done in graveling
the road north Of LibertyVille on
Tuesday, May 9Th, and find that the
contract is being complied with in cv.
cry particular" happen TO be on the
road when the Court went by in IN
automobile on this flying inspection
trip and noticed that they did not
sacken their speed either going OF
coming over that part Of the road that
was being gravelcd and they evident
ly did not see the amount of big rock
that is being raked to each side OF
the road and for which the contractors
are getting the same price per yard as
if it were gravel.
Again ] would like to ask the Court
if the notable price Of gravel road
north of Bonnie Terre is such n great
success and can be constructed sc
much Cheaper, why are you still
squandering the peoples money on
macadam roads?
We also have a good piece Of gravel
road from Libertyvillc to Blackwell
Creek, but it has been grayeled more
or less every year for the past twenty
five years. Then 100 this road was
dressed with gravel and not with flint
rock as high as eighteen pounds.

High School Senior Glass Play

"The Romance Of Phyllis" or Love
and Way" was admirably presented
at the high school auditorium last cv-
cning, by the members Of the Senior
class. Although the play was light
it was about the clevcrest affair given
this season.
The participants received the i'm
mediate attention of the audience, and
held it so closely that when the final
curtain descended on the amusing com
plication, they were caught in an up
roarious laughter, and the congratu-
lations were unanimous.
Miss Sue Watts of the high school
faculty had entire charge of the re-
hearsels Of the cast and to use the
slang expression, they certainly did
her proud. Those witnessing the play
can look beyond and see the beautiful
service and training, which produced
an evening of solid entertainment and
fun.
The plot of the play was like this;
Phyllis Merrick (Verena Bloomeyer)
"a spoiled child, but nevertheless
truehearted refuses to marry her lover
simply because her aunts with whom
she makes her home, consent, reason
ing in sunshine and showery manner
that there woud be nothing romantic
about the affair. Amelia Porter Gill

unromantic maiden auntie, and Agnes
Porter (Laura Westover) sweet
tempered sentimental maiden aunt,
with an unfading touch Of romance,
"Tho the affair never came to any
thing, also Beatrice Vane (Alva

of Phyllis Merrick, were sorely vexed
by the action of MARY, Mary, Quite
Contrary, so planned n trap wherein
the young lady straightway walked.

refuse to let grille see him-result,
firstly, weeping and wailing, secondly
elopment, lastly--everybody contented
and satisfied with their own cleverness

tcrtained by talent of the high school.

4 Musical Triumph at jacksonville
Florida

Chus. McCarty, who is a clarinet
soloiat of unusual ability returned
on Wednesday from jacksonville. Flor
ida, where he had been playing an en-
gagemcnt with the Kcnnett Concert
Band.
This band was the only Missouri
organization honorcd by being en-
ployed to furnish music for the Ma
tional Encampment of the Confederate
Veterans, which conycnes annually at
some southern point. A special car
was engaged and the band made the
ten day trip in considerable style.
ElRorc f.. Mason, the director of
the Kennctt Concert Band was for
merly a Pennington resident, and has
great many friends here The band
he is at present conducting is regard
ed as one Of the best, if not the very
best, amateur organizations in Mis-
souri,. Through its all round Class
it was accorded the distinction, at
jacksonville, Of heading the daily
paradc-this in spite Of the fact that
seventeen Regimental bands, from all
parts Of the country, were on hand,
besides the local organizations Of that
thriving Southern metropolis. 1t was
also selected to furnish music for the
nightly concert and dance, which was
an indication Of sheer merit, and so
well pleased was TIE Governor of
Virginia, WHO was present, that he
arranged Il special banquet, at the
Windsor Hotel, in Jacksonville, for the
band.
The Kenneth Band, since it has been
under the direction Of Mr.. Mason, is
one of the few bands in the state
outside Of professional organizations
which can and does regularly handle
and spleEdidly-about all Of the stand
ard classical music arranged for mill
tary band. Their concerts compare
very favorably with those rendered by
the famous bands of The country, in
several Of which Mr.. Mason has had
experience as Euphonium Nirtuoso-
he himself being n graduate of the
principal American conservatory Civ
ing advanced instruction in brass and
reed instruments, the Warren Institu-
ton, of Warren, Ohio.
Mr.. Mccarthy reports a delightful
trip, the more pleasurablc because, in
all his long experience in band work
a more distinguished reception, at an
event of national scope and impor-
lance, had never been accorded an
amateur band from distant point
The Encampment will be held at
Richmond next year, and in all likli-
hood the Kennett band will again be
engaged for that event.
