Wise Old Barney
 He Beats the Game

Wise old Barney Simon! He cer- tainly was not born, bred and reared in dear old 'foggy Lunnon" for nothing, as he finds some way to beat nearly every game he has oc- casion to go up against. This time, il is the advertising game he beats, for he gets a little cheap advertising out of red hot stove pipe which he had at his place of business yes teriay morning. And he also man. ages to get said stove pipe cleaned out for nothing by calling out the fire department. (This is an annual occurrence as it is d we'll known fact that Barney did the same thing last year)
 At any rate there might have been a different story carrying with it the words fire sale" in big black letters, had the fire department not arrived on the scene when 1t did. However, sack of salt was all that was necessary to put out the fire in the burning flue, the fire de partment finishing up it's duty by cleaning out the stovepipe. which will now be in condition until about this time next year. Breaking in, as it did, on the still air of a cold Sunday morning, the fire alarm caused considerable excitement in the business district. The department first brought the rigs to a stop in front of The Pace to Eat where supposed smoke was issuing from the roof The smoke. however, turned out to be steam escaping from a pipe run to the roof of the Fairbanks block, for the purpose of keeping the drain thawed out.

 The Navajo Indians. it has been suspected through many causes. are closely allied to all Mongolian races And, in fact, all the American In dians show traces of this origin. They must, however have crossed from the old world ages ago The cause of the blue spot being found in Europeans of untarnished family records can probably be traced back to tNe Mongolian invasion in Europe in 453 A. D. From there the remote MOngOlian trace spread with emi grafton to the new world.
 Another peculiar feature is that monkeys and apes also have the blue spot, but with them 1t has been found that it persists constant ly throughout their lives.

 Gleason & Sawyer are installing on 4 below a labor-saving method for hoisting dirt, and if it proves as successful as expected, it will probably be used on other claims. The system consists of a gasoline en- zine that will be installed on bed rock, where it can be operated by the men at work there. There will also be installed an automatic hoist, which will work without the neces- sity of keeping a man on top to watch it.
 Many men are being put to work here, and the. creeks will be un- usually busy the remainder of this winter There will soon be total of about 50 men employed in making winter dumps.

Delay Of Hunting
 arty Unexplained

Delay in hearing from the hunting party of young New York million aires, who have been in the vicinity of Mt. Mckinley for several months is creating some apprehension con cerning their safety. Mrs. Harry Karstens, wife of the guide of the party, said yesterday that she has not heard from her husband since the middle of November.
 When the party left Fairbanks last August it was with the intention of returning in December. Later it was heard that they would be back here about January l, but it was supposed something more definite would be heard from them before that time.
