'Oh! mine is nothing, nothing!" said
Iris, with what seemed to her divine
submission to fate.

The door closed behind him. and Iris
turned into the library.
The room spoke strongly of her fa-

containing several almost priceless
treasures. But perhaps the most
unique feature of the apartment was
the great, low desk. 1t was a Flemish
piece, unusual in shape and construc-
ton, and covered with a multitude of
its heavy surface.
Vanderpool had never been a very
light-hearted person, but he had a
subtle charm which was more fasci-
mating than any gaiety could be, and
his rare smile was a thing to be
remembered. OF her mother Iris had
no recollection, but from her earliest
childhood she had seen her father as
an individual, instead of merely as
father" a being from whom came
the luxuries of material existence; and
she had always adored him. There
was a cloud over his existence, she
knew, and she assumed it to be the
loss of her mother. But this explana-
ton was not sufficient to account for
the depression which had come upon
him lately. What could the trouble
be? Had it to do with those letters
which came by registered mail, with
foreign stamps, some of which the
tramp by the wayside at Stamford had
so nearly stolen from her? Stamford
If only she had stayed in the free, in

"Oh, Sam!" she walled aloud, and
cast herself across the Dashboard,

agonized white fingers.
Then suddenly an utterly unexpect-

PICK UP S13,OOO
 AND GO OUTSIDE

The following story of sudden riches following long search for gold, comes rom Rupy ana IS reprinted rom the Record Citizen:
 James (Slim) Sehoheld and John Bowman. two of the lucky Koyukuk boys. were passengers up on the Tan ana. bound for the great Outside.
 seldom GO we sec the fickleness of Dame Fortune as found in frontier mining camp better exemplifed than in the cases of these two men.
 After running the entire gamut of ups and downs (mosty downs for the last F years, these men have be. come suddenly rich within the last year and are now pulling on all kinds of stunts in order to know from actual experience just how t seems to have plenty of money to spel1. It reminds many of the good old days before cheechaco civilization spoiled 1t all.
 Messrs. Schofeld and Bowman have been working on Hammond river for years. In an early day they sniped, with others, on the shallow ground. When the deep channel was struck a few years ago they went back to Ham, mond river and began to search for the deep channel. At first their eff forts were unsuccessful, as they-found the channel, but no pay. However, last winter 1t came their way, and they struck one of the richest spots ever found in that camp of rich spots. There seems to be canyon in the bedrock from 10 to F feet wide. Where the bedrock was smooth they would find but little, but where there were pot,holes they would be literally full of chunks of gold. In many cases 1t was so clean 1t did not need to be rocked. In one instance they took out $13,000 from one-point thaw without washing the dirt, other than banning the gold from these bedrock pockets. There was very little fine gold, prac- tically no pieces that went less than 75 cents to a dollar The largest mug get they found was worth over $2,400. They had this with them and intend to take it Outside. providing they do not give it to some friend" for a pocket piece during some hilarious moment.
 Sims" brother, Dr. Schofeld, al young man who came in over the trail last winter was with them. ItI is understood that much of the dust has been placed in his charge, with orders to land 1t Outside. He is chap eroning these two wild men from the far North" and certainly has his hands full, as they are like two boys just out of school.

JACK ROMAN GOES
 TO NEW STRIKE

: SEWARD, July 22. = John Roman, the well known Fairbanks mining man who has been doing some work on the Melchor ground on Kenal river has thrown up the option that he had on the ground as 1t did not sluice up to expectations. Mr. Roman in company with George Dreibelbis. Louis Bell, James Sampson and Duncan Little left last week on trip to the Chicka- loon where Mir. Bell has recently made strike. The new find is on q creek running into Turnagin Arm and according to report is rich enough to pay to shovel in spots and there is a large area of ground that will make a hydraulic property. The party will do some prospecting while they are there and If the ground prospects as well as reported, they are planning on putting on drill and giving 1t a thorough overhauling.-Seward Gate way.

HEAVY RAINS CAUSE
 SCARE AT FAIRBANKS

FAIRBANKS, July 25.-The heavy rains of the past few days have raised the waters of Cinema slough to the top of the banks, and an overflow was ex- pected that would flood the streets of the city. Within the past few hours the water has fallen slightly, and it is believed that all danger of an in- undation is past unles heavy rain fall occurs within short time.
 On account of the rains the govern ment road to Chitlna is in an almost impossible condition. J. H. Paris, who left here with his auto stage and several passengers few days ago, was compelled to turn back to this city, where he will await better wealth CT and trail conditions before making another attempt.

 CATHOLIC CHURCH


 A Catholic church iB to be establish- ed at Thane and placed under the Ju- neau pastorate. The Juneau Catholic church after August 10 will be under the pastorate of Rev. James A. Kennel ly and his assistant, Rev. Father Geo. NJ. Bailey, who leave Seattle on the Mariposa sailing from Seattle August 6. Rev Father Anthony R. Drathman, who has endeared himself to the peo- pie of Juneau, both In and out of the church, has been called to San Fran cisco where he will enter St. Ignatius, the we'll know Jesuit college. He will remain here, however, until after the Juneau council of the Knights of Columbus, which he was largely in- strumental in getting established here, has been instituted. This will be on August 16.
 Speaking of his call to San Fran cisco, Father Drathman said that he would leave Juneau with great re- gret. q have become acquainted here, and love the people and the place, and 1t is hard to leave. The only thing that reconciles me to 1t, is that I shall be able to witness the installa- ton of the first council of the Knights of Columbus in the great Northland,"
 Fathers Remedy and Bailey will sail from Seattle on the Mariposa, leaving August and will come direct to Ju- neau. The excursion here of the Knights of Columbus degree team and installing officers, together with the baseball team leaves Seattle August 12. A great celebration is planned in Juneau during the instituting of the council.
