DISGUSTED WITH PARTNERS
 AND BURNED OUTFIT

One of the most effective means of dissolving 9 business partnership that has come to light in some time was undertaken a few days ago by some Greeks who have been working on Buff, a tributary of Arctic creek dur ing the spring in conjunction with some men of other nationality. Ac- cording to the story told by recent ar rivals from that section, the men happened to have falling out be- cause of the Greeks having to do all of the work while their partners em- ulated Sam Dunham's new breed of miners who "loafed around town with the sports" The Greeks soon grew disgusted with this procedure and, failing to bring their recalcitrant partners to terms, gathered the entire outfit of tents, grub and other impedi- ,ments into a big pile and after soak ing it with oil set fire to the heap and returned to town. One of the non workers arrived on the scene in time to save a couple of sluice boxes but everything else was destroyed by the hostile sons of Greece including the blankets and personal belongings of the condemned partners. - Nome Nugget.
