Tell Of Exploits

Has Xee Yo Keuk, the Korean bad
man, been making his headquarters in
and about the German church on Bere-
tania near Punchbowl street since his
escape from the city Jail last May?
This is the inference gained from a
conversation which took place this
morning between Yee Yo Keuk and
Sheriff Charles H. Rose in the hospital
ward where the former is quartered
under a police guard. Although very
few questions were asked by the sher-
in concerning the Koreans actions,
the conversation lasted nearly an hour.
Yee Yo Keuk lay in a small cot in
one of the hospitals outbuildings. A
policeman paced the floor in front Of
the bed At times the Korean moaned
in a high, feminine tone and COM
planned that he was sore" The
nurse said that the wound in his righ'
leg just below the thigh was quite
painful. while the neck woun0 was
not bothering him much.

ELLINGER TRANSFERS VALUABLE MINING
 PROPERTY

Another mining deal of considerable i'm portance was consummated early this week involving the transfer of valuable interests held by Casper Ellinger. Harry Donnelley has secured an option on Mir Ellinger's in terest in various claims on Granite and Slate creeks, including the Gum Boot Free-for- All, Pack Mule Fraction and Three Friends Bench.
 The interests disposed of by Mir Eilnger are in claims to which Jim Chronster last week transferred his interest in similar man. ner, and on somewhat similar terms. The amount of the transaction is not made pub lie, but it is understood that it included a large cash payment.
 It is understood that the ground will be dredged next year by Riley X Marston, and it is generally believed that the deal was made in their behalf

OLD-TIMER TO GO TO HOME

Martin E. Lewis an old-time prospector and miner. we'll known in the district, was a passenger for Sitka on the boat leaving last Tuesday, MT. Lewis for some time past has been suffering from partial paralysis, whcih prevented him from earning hvell- hood. He will become an inmate of the home for old and indigent prospectors at the old capital.
 MT. Lewis has had his share of the ups and downs of the average prospector of the North. He came to the territory first in 1892, and was for time resident of Juneau, In 1893 he went to Fortymile, and has ever since resided in the territory, par ticipating in the many stampedes, with varying fortune. He is 55 years of age.

 While Mir Austin has been resident of the NorthIand for several years, he states that this is the first time that he has had an opportunity to make the trip either to or from the coast on board steamboat, Always hitherto it has been his lot to travel over the winter trails, and he jokingly ex- pressed a little nervousness about the jour ney.

COMMISSIONER WASKEY
 TELLS OF MARSHALL CAMP

H. Boas, the local merchant, has received the following letter from Commissioner Frank Waskey of Wade Hampton precinct Marshall City, under date of September 10. It probably is the most authentic informa- ton that has been received from the new camp and will be read with much interest here especially that portion with reference to persons looking for good country to prospect in. A district where better than S6 to the foot has been found" ought to be able to arouse interest A portion of the letter is as follows:
 With regards to prospects hereabouts, l can only say that for the amount of actual prospecting which has bene done, there has been as much encouragement found as else where in Alaska.
 1 would not recommend anyone's coming here who is doing well in other camps. But if anyone is looking for good country to prospect in, and has the means and the will to prospect, believe there are as good op- portunities here as are to be found any wher on the Yukon.
 There are several Iditarod men here now, Curly Smith and John Giacherio have just secured lease on bench adjoining ground which I am working. We have fair pay. Banker x Patton, on No. 1 above, Willow, have very good ground, better than s6 to the foot. Practically all the known pay claims are leased or working. There are several creeks near by not staked, however.
 Anyone coming here should bring all sup plies, as grub, clothing, etc, are very scarce There are several stores here, but the stoc'- is limited.

FAMOUS OLD RACE HORSE
 COMES TO UNTIN1ELY END

There is mourning in Flat City. On Thursday last the general topic of conversa- ton in the creek town was the untimely end of old Ignatius, the gallant old race horse which has had such an eventful career in the North covering a period of at least fifteen years.
 It appears that Ignatius was being driven in the region of Slate creek with load of wood by Bud Riley, and had the misfortune to step into a chuckhole, breaking his leg. Seeing that there was no help that could be extended to the old animal Bud was com pelled to relieve him of his sufferlngs by putting him to death.
 Ignatius although from IS to 20 years old was recently pitted against young horse in match race in which the sums that changed hands totaled many thousands of dollars. His admirers figured 1t out that the veterans knowledge of the racing game would make him more than 8 match for his young opponent. But the younger ani- nal developed unexpected speed, and it was realized that Ignatius days on the track had reached an end It was said at the time that had he won the race he would have been sent Outside to spend his last days at ease on a farm.
 One Flat City lady, who may have lost money on Ignatus' performance, was un- kind enough to remark that it was a pity he did not break his leg two months ago; but that is not indicative of the general sen timent.
 Ignatius was owned by Pete Mlchaels.

While mining has not been carried on on an extensive scale this season. the results are said to be most satisfactory
