No Pay There" Say
 Returning Miners

That no known pay of whatsoever description exists in the Tolovana region, is the report of Lon Doggett and Eddie Farrell, two well known local mining men, who reached town yesterday afternoon from the diggings. It was reported before they left the camp that pay had been discovered on Amy creek, but they are unable to state just what the extent of it is.
 Doggett and Farrell themselves sunk six holes on ground which they staked in the Tolovana. Several of the holes were on the Tolovana river proper, at the mouth of Olive creek, while others were on Myrtle creek, tributary of Livengood. They say that after the first few feet of sinking, they were unable to get even colors in the pan.
 Regarding the work being carried on in the Tolovana, the returned Fairbanksans say that the miners of the section are still hard at their prospecting, remaining in an opium istic frame of mind despite the fact that each hole put to bedrock fails to show anything in the way of pay. Before they left they inquired thoroughly as to the general results of the prospecting and in no one instance, was pay reported to them.

SUFFERS ATTACK
 0F PARALYSIS

Shortly after o'clock yesterday morning, James Mulroy, the we'll known local clothier, suffered an attack of paralysis of the right side He was in a paralyzed condition for about nine hours being unable to move or talk, but, according to the latest report last evening, had recovered the use of his limbs and of his speech, and was getting along as well as could be expected.
 Dr. H. Peterson, the ChirOpractOr, is now waiting upon MT. Mulroy.
 He was not called to the bedside until l2 o'clock yesterday or about nine hours after the attack, but within 15 minutes after the former started to work, MT. Mulroy was able to speak, and shortly thereafter regained the use of his limbs. That Chiropractic was able to accomplish such results in such a short space of time, is considered nothing short )f miraculous.

DECISIVE BATTLE STARTS
Seattle Woman
 Is Studying Mining
MRS. LAWSON ENROLuS IN WINTER SHORT COURSE
 IN UNIVERSITY.

SEATTLE, Jan. 10.-For the first time in the history of the University of Washington that institution is teaching a woman the scientific features of min ing. Mrs. Agnes c. Lawson, a comparatively young woman, has enrolled in the short placer mining course of the university, which has just opened for this winter.
 Mrs. Lawson believes that she is just as capable of becoming an intelligent miner AS is the average man. though she does not expect to do the physical work. She has given the mat ter considerable study in the past, but whether she will put her placermining knowledge to use in Alaska or some other place, she declines to state.
 In connection with its regular mining courses, the university has a short course each winter, in which the elements of mining are taught. It Is this short course that Mrs. Lawson Is talk ing.

Quiet Stampede IS
 On to Lower River

Information received in Fairbanks during the past week is to the eff feet that a quiet stampede is now going on to some point on the lower Panama river, the exact location of which is not known. However, Il has been stated that new strike has been made about 50 miles above Panama, but that the discoverers of the new pay have been endeavoring to keep the matter quiet.
 It is understood that a large number of powers of attorney have been made out by local notaries within the past few days to Alfred Beaulieu, who refuses to state from what section of country he came, or where he is going It is also understood that number of Fair banksans are now preparing to leave for what may be a new strike with in the next few days.
 The only probable point where gold might be found at the above named distance above Panama, Is in the vicinity of American creek, or back in the hills from Fish Lake. There is also a likelihood that pros pecting has revealed a paystreak on Baker creek, which, however, is only 20 miles above Panama.

The foregoing Is copy of tele- gram received at the marshal's of flee yesterday morning from Deputy Marshal J. L. finders of Hot Springs, It refers to Stephen Foster, we'll known old-time trapper and trader of the Kantishna, who is known to have had his headquarters cabin near Lake Minchumina Foster visited Fairbanks last spring, at which time he stated that he would not come to town again until this win ter. In addition to his trading with the natives of the upper kantishna, Foster had out a trap line which. it is said, reached almost to the coast
 The report received in the tele- gram is to be thoroughly investigated by the marshal's office. Deputy Marshal John c. Wood will leave Fairbanks this morning with a dog team. He will first go to Cross jacket where he will pick up one or both of the natives who brought out the report. and proceed on to the place where the body of the trapper is supposed to be.
 The trip will be one of danger and hardship and will probably take from month to six weeks. The body will be brought to Fairbanks for the inquest as the Kantishna commissioner does not hold the pow CTS of coroner.

Stakes Are Closed
 For Next Season

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Belmont Parks stakes have been closed for the coming season. There are fifteen stake events and handicaps which will be run off in 1915 and 1916. Twelve will be run next spring, one in the autumn meeting and two in the spring of 1916.
 The list includes all of the stakes that ar favorites with racegoers, with the Metropolitan at the head. It has a guaranteed value of $3,OOO which is $500 greater than last year. This proves two things-that the Metropolitan is regarded as pop'i- lar attraction and that the Belmont Park track made money.
 The other stake events are Ladies Handicap. S2 900 guarantee; the To- began Handicap, $2,000; the Harlem, $1,00O; the Amateur cup. $1,0O0, the Hollis $1,000; the Belmont, S2.5OO and the Withers, $2,00O.

SECRETARY OF TREASURY SAYS BUILDING UP OF MERCHANT MARINE IS ONLY WAY TO SOLVE COMMERCIAL PROBLEM OF COUNTRY
OCEAN RATES TAKE A JUMP
SINCE WAR STARTED, FREIGHT RATES ON GRAIN ACROSS THE ATLANTIC HAVE INCREASED APPROXIMATELY $50 PER CENT; MAY GO HIGHER.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-William G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury of the United States, declared in a speech delivered here last night that government ownership of merchant vessels is the only solution to the commercial problem that is affecting the country at the present time.
 When the shipping interests are under the control of corporations. MT. McAdoo declared, selfish inter- ests are almost sure to smother the competition that will bring down rates. With high shipping rates, he explained, the producer gets only a small share of the profits, and the corporation heads take the re- mainder.
 By maintaining system of govern ment-owned ships, it is expected, the speaker said, to put a check at all times on the private shipping rates and to insure the American producer with good foreign market, both in times of foreign wars and in times of peace. MT. McAdoo said he believed that congress will finally pass the ship-purchase bill that is now before it.

LONDON, Jan 10.-All of England is anxiously awaiting the action or Roumania, which is evidently pre- pairing to enter the war as sup porter for the Russians If Rou- mania joins hands with Russia, 1t will be possible for the Russian line 10 extend from the Black sea. across Roumania, Servia and Mon- tenegro, 10 the Adriatic sea. In that case, the lines of attack on Austria will be from the north, east and south.
 Photographic advices received here from Bucharest, state that the Rou- manian army is being mobilized at the present time, and it is expected that it will be put into the field at an early date.

 To Come in March
LETTERS RECEIVED HERE STATE THAT MEN ARE DUE
 HERE SOON

TO ZONES, IN WHICH HEAD QUARTERS WILL BE ESTAB- LlSHED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF SPECIAL CLERKS.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 10- Unemployed people throughout the United States are to be aided by the government. Through the postoffice department arrangements are under way for the establishment of na- tional employment bureaus, which will be operated by the postoffice department. The announcement of the new plans was made today. upon official authority annd the scheme will be put into effect as soon as is possible.
 According to the plans made known today, the country will be divided into numerous zones, each of which will be under the direction of a special government clerk. People wanting employment or wanting to hire people will file with their To- cal postmaster their wants, and these will be forwarded at once to the head of the clerk of the zone.
 In this manner, it is expected that the people wanting work and those wanting employees will be brought together without cost to either. and it will put out of business CeIldlu CLASS Ol SidltiHS eluploy ment agencies.
 CONDITIONS IMPROVE.
 Owing to the fact that there is in nearly all parts of the country a revival of prosperity and new in dustrial enterprises opening, an effort will be made to get the ma tional employment bureaus establish ed with as little delay as possible.
 According to the present plans for the bureaus, the zones will have their headquarters as far as possible in large cities, where there will be the most demand for labor.
 It is pointed out that the new system will be of special aid to the farmers, who are unable to get the help needed in harvest time. The scheme was tried out in a tentative way last fall in some sections of the country, and the large numbers of farmers and laborers aided through the medium of the postoffice, con ynced the government officials in Washington that permanent bureaus of this nature should be established.
