 ARRIVES HERE
 FROM BROOKS
ATWEll OISPENSES NEWS OF GENERAL INTEREST IN
 NEW CAMP

Howard Atwell, commissioner for the Tolovana, with headquarters at Brooks city. arrived in Fairbank S yesterday afternoon on a business trip, having mushed from Brooks to Olnes and coming in an auto- mobile from the creek city yester- day afternoon. Judge Atwell ex- poets to remain in the city for about a week and will then return to the camp.
 Judge Atwell expresses himself as very we'll pleased with his new DO sition. Recording has been brisk since his arrival at Brooks, during the latter part of October. and he has done a good business in making out legal papers and other. wise. He and Deputy Marshal Frank Miller are located in a room in the Ed Rust building, which will shelter them until their new habitation, on Telegraph Hill, is completed
 The recording, however. has now dropped off considerably. The req son is that most of the men who are now mining in the new camp are out in the hills doing assessment work on ground they have already in place of stalking more Judge Atwell expects, however that re, cording will be heavier than ever after the first of the year
 BROOKS ORDERLY.
 The commissioner also states that the town of Brooks is very quiet and orderly. No complaint < have been made to him and there have been no arrests made When he first arrived at Brooks it looked as though there would be little trouble about townsite matters, but that has all now been settled ami cably and without resort to the minions of the law
 TWO QUIET STAMPEDES.
 There is very little new in a mining way, according to the con- missioner He says that the men who are doing the prospecting are, in general way, keeping very quiet about the results obtained by them.
 Just before MT. Atwell left Brooks he heard of two quiet stampede5. Nobody but the stampeders them selves knew to a certainty where they were going. but it was ru- mored that one of the "gold runs" was being made to the country at the head of the Tolovana river.
 Brooks itself is building rapidly. Lumber is s12O per thousand feet and short at that, while building logs are practically unobtainable Practically everybody who puts up a building is doing it for his own use and it is therefore very diff cult to rent quarters of any kind
 WHo. PAUL. HERe.
 Mrs. A. J. Pauli has arrived at Brooks, according to MT. Atwell She is looking around with a view to getting established in a mercan- tile business, but has SO far been unable to get settled. In the mean time she has rented a small cabin
 The people of Brooks are loud in their praise of Mrs. Pauli for some good work she did there in saving the life of Charley or Harry Webb, a young man whose life had been despaired of on account of a severe attack of pneumonia. As soon as she arrived at Brooks she turned nurse, with the result that, while still quite ill., the young man is we'll on the way to recovery.
 IN A MINING WAY.
 Commissioner Atwell states that mining in the Tolovana camp IS bound to be quiet for the next two months, as most of the prospectors will be engaged during that time in doing their annual assessment work He expects, however, that February at the latest will show we'll defined paystreaks on most of the creeks as the streams will be given a | thorough prospecting shortly after the first of the year
