The reports now reaching Fairbanks from miners in the Tolovana district indicate that the camp will be one of the largest in Alaska, as pay has been found at points far apart and the camp is more extensive than at first thought. Conservative miners who have been in on all the great strikes in the north since the days of Dawson are confident that the new camp will make good and they are spending time and money to open up the claims they have located. Many lays have been taken and ma chiuery will be taken into the camp as soon as the road is built.
 Reports sent out from the far North indicate that a new strike of pay has been made in the Andreafski gold fields. On Willow creek, ten miles from Marshall City, five miles across divide from the head of Wilson creek, an important fud of gold-bearing dirt was made last week. Pay has been found on three claims. The discOverers are w. C. Blander, Plunkett & Patton and Albert E. Edwards. The first strike in the Andreafski fields was made last spring, when prospectors from St. Michael went into the little known tundra section between Boring sea aud the Yukon and found good pay dirt on creek which was named Will son after the president The town of Marshall was established near it's mouth.
 The Seward Gateway says Some way should be found to tax iliuerant ped dlers or business men who come into cities, sell lot of junk and then hike out with the money They are abso. lutely no good to the community or to the people who buy from them. If they had good merchandise to sell they would surely stay in one place aud get a reputation. The people who run around like that, selling for a short time in every old place, do so only be- cause they want quick sales and clean getaway before tbe simple victims catch on to them and their rotten junk. A business man who lives permanently in a place has to keep good value or lose business These fly by nights do not. They pawn over stuff that is specially manufactured and that is specially prepared to catch the un- wary.
 Mrs. w. c. Harp, a woman of the underworld, who was murdered recent ly in Fairbanks, left a large estate, which will go to her husband, miner iu the Ruby district, who becomes the heir to the property under the laws of Alaska, as the woman left DO will The estate consists, so far as known, of S6,3l5 in gold and currency found in her safe deposit box, about S69 in gold dust from the same source, a deposit of S25O in the National Bank of Commerce, Seattle, and approximately $500 worth of jewelry found on her person when the body was discovered. This totals over ST, 100, all of which, under the ter. ritorial statutes, goes to her husband. There are no children. If Mir. Harp were also dead, her father wonld be nextiu line as the heir, as her mother died a short time ago Personal prop erty is not recognized as individual property in Alaska.

 The business men of Fairbanks are willing to subscribe the sum of 5000 for the construction of a wagon road from Fairbanks to Tolovana, where a large placer camp has been established. The merchants, however, are urging that the Alaska road commission spend the sum of SlO,OOO on the work and the subscriptions are to be paid only if the road commission will help, as it is real ized that the 5000 would be mere waste of money and would be thrown away, as no road could be constructed for that sum.
 It has been stated as a curious fact worth mentioning that the man who introduced the prohibition resolution in the territorial legislature was at one time a part owner in a saloon in an inc terior camp. There is a story told about him to the effect that when he wanted to prevent another saloon from being established in business he rented a building near the proposed site for the new saloon and let the preacher use it as a church. The law says that a saloon cannot be conducted within a certain distance from a church.
 The United States government has decided 10 purchase the site of the defunct Washlngton.Alaska bank in Fairbanks as a site for the new court house which is to be built there in the near future. The purchase of the ground was being urged by Delegate Wickersham, District Attorney Roth and United States Marshal Erwin, but the department decided 10 await the approval of Judge Bunnell Co the trans action before closing the deal The location is the most central in town, The ground is occupied by two and one-haf.story building.

 A deal has been closed within the past twenty four hours whereby the Pacific Coast Company has disposed of it's interest in the wreck of the steamer Delhi to Capt. J. E.

The one calls for dismantling her where she lies, stripping the winches and gear generally; the other is to tow her to Loriug, where she can be dismantled more easily. There is a great deal of equipment on tho wreck and consider able cash should be realized on the deal -Ketchikan Miner.

Congdon, confidential secretary to Comptroller of the Currency John Skeltou Williams, resigned his position to become cashier of the Hartman National Bank at Seward, he probably got whipsawed, for there may not be any such bank this year.-Ruby Rec ord Citizen.
 The city of Fairbanks is nearly SlOO0O in debt at this time and as business conditions are bad and the prospect for increased revenues in the city poor, the new council will make every effort to retreuch and will try to hold the expenses of the city govern. ment for the next year far below the income SO that part of the indebted. ness can be paid off and the city put in irst-class financial condition.

STATE STREET is STARVING
TAX INCREASE REDUCED

TAX INCREASE REDUCED
Poor State street. It is starving.
It cannot even akOrd to pay its share
of taxes.
Downtown real estate tax assess
ments were boosted 80 per cent by
the board of assessors. The board
thinks land has increased that much
in value in four years.
But the State street stores have
had their increase reduced from 20 to
10 per cent. Business has been too
poor" they told the assessors, eve
cannot afford to pay 20 per. cent adj
ditiOnaI in taxes.
The burden which the State street
stores have shiften from their should
ers will fall upon the rest of the city
to absorb.
According to the board of assess
ors, the most valuable stretch Of
UnOroUghfare in Chicago Is the east
side of State street between Wash
ingtOn and Monroe SITS. Corner lots
here are valued by the board at $685.
