Peterson Brings
 In Good Cleanup

Gus Peterson, the Tolovana opera tor, arrived in town last week with his first cleanup, which is stated to have been 364 ounces. The state ment, however, is denied by MT Peterson, who refuses to state just how much gold he has cleaned Up good at the mouth of Franklyn gulch as the result of his operations of the past two months.
 Those who know are authority for the statement that MT Peterson s ground will go between $1.5O and $1.75 to the square foot of bedrock The gold brought in by the opera tor was the coarsest yet seen from th1e, according to all reports, one piece weighing something over $G6 The first report was to the effect that a nugse, weighing 66 ounces mad been found, but this is denied by all Tolovana men now in town.
 Mr. Peterson expresses himself as of the opinion that far too much talk about the richness of the Tolo- impressed with the camp in every way, but states, to quote his own remark, 'let her speak for herself"
 The operator is leaving on the N. c. stage today for the Outside on a hurried business trip. He ey- poets to return north as soon as possible His operations in the Tolovana will continue during his absence under the management of his brother, Ernest Peterson.

ATWELl NAMED
 COMMISSIONER
 FOR T0l0YANA
LAND OFFICE MAN RESIGNS PO- SETON TO ACCEPT
 NEW PLACE.

Public announcement was made Saturday evening of the appointment by Judge Charles T.. Bunnell Of Howard j. Atwell as commissioner of the new Tolovana precinct Mir Atwell who is now a special agent of the general land office, will leave for the Tolovana to assume his du- ties about October 15 having ten dered his resignation to the land office authorities to take place at that time The new commissioner will be located at Brooks.
 As far as can be learned, the ap pointment is satisfactory to every one. Judge Atwell in the capacity of a land office employee, has had his headquarters in Fairbanks for the past three years, during which time he has made many friends. In fact more suitable man for the posi- ton could scarcely have been SC cured, as the commissioner is an experienced attorney, having been admitted to the bar in Montana in 1908 and again in Fairbanks in 1913. His experience as an attorney for the land office will also stand him in good stead iu his new DO sition.
 The boundaries of the new Tolo- vana precinct were defined last week by Judge Bunnell. All that now remains to be done is the trans cIiption of the records from the precincts of Rampant Circle, Hot Springs and Fairbanks
 Judge Bunnel stated yesterday that he intends to communicate with the commissioners In the above named precincts i'll regard to the transcription of the records. He is of the opinion that the work will net be commenced before Novem- Der 1 or 15, for the reason that Inc necessary books have not yet orrivc1 from the Outside.

Court Authorizes
 City Tax Sale

Judge Bunnell signed an order Friday in district court upon the motion of the city attorney author izing the sale by the city of all property within the city limits upon which money for taxes Is due. It is expected that the council will fix a date for the sale at it's next meet ing now that the order has been signed.
 The members of the city council feel that the method of enforcing collection now used has been very beneficial to the city. The total amount now due Is only about $40o, where last year $3,000 was due the ,ity in delinquent taxes at the time the tax sale took place. This con dition is partially accounted for by reason of the fact that the sale ot last year covered the taxes due the city for number of years prior tc the time 1t took place.

when he went into the big tank at Haggren's natatorium one night last week. for he was able to nego- tiate the deep water without any trouble but he stated that it came hard after being away from swim min hole" for 23 years.
 The hardest thing for the chief to do after being an absentee from swimming pools for such q long time. was to swim on his back He could take a few strokes. but was unable 10 keep afloat for a longer time and had to give it up. He was for merly an expert swimmer. particu- larly in the back floating position and says he is going to be a regular patron of the nat" until he learns again.
 The natatorium continues to draw big crowds nightly, many Fairbank ans taking the chance offered thern to take good swim. if they are apt at the art. or a paddle if they are not.

NEWS OF THE T0L0vANA CAMP
Tolovana Trail
 To be Good One

Recent arrivals from the Tolovana country state that the ToloFana road crew is doing good work and that where the trail has been cut and graded it already shows signs of developing into a good road al least for winter travel The grades are being cut down and the trail is otherwise being prepared for the big loads which are sure to be hauled over it as soon as the snow falls.
 R. ]. Sommers. local superinten dert of the road commission. re turned yesterday morning from a trip of inspection of the work being done on the Tolovana trail He states that it is entirely satisfac- tory in every respect.
 The crew is now working near the Globe creek roadhouse, about 22 miles from Olnes. It numbers IS men. including the teamSters. but will be increased to 9 men under the order of MT. Sommers, in order that the work of building the trail may be hurried little more.
 Late arrivals in town have further good words to say for the Tolovana trail as it is now being constructed People are now commencing to travel over the surveyed route, and it is stated that the Cnly grade of any consequence anywhere is that at Wickersham dome. Among the statements made by late arrivals is that only people of West Fork want a trail from Fairbanks by way Of Happy creek, as tho residents of Brooks are entirely satisfied with the trail being built by the road commission.
 Another evidence that the trail is in as good shape now as could be expected is the fact that the teams of John L. White, of Olnes are now making trips as far as the Globe roadhouse making the round trip in three days. As soon as the snow falls it is expected that they will make even better time. The teams will be sent on through as fast as the trail crew puts the road in condition.

PLANS AUTO LINE ID
 NEW D|CG|NCS
TRAIL AUTOMOBILiST WILL OPE RATE LINE TO THE
 TOLOVANA

The Tolovana country is 10 have an automobile service this winter. At least. that Is the statement of Grover Frame. the big trail automo- bile man, who says that he will es- tablish a run to the new diggings as soon as he can get over the trail
 MT. Frame is of the opinion that he can make the run from Olnes to the Tolovana without trouble as soon as the new trail, now being put in by the road commission, is open for traffic He says that he can make the run from Olnes to Brooks and back again in one day as soon as the snow is sufficiently packed down by the sleds which will be running over it.
 That will be a real stage run . was his remark The present run is entirely too long and passes through too many different kinds of country, and l therefore have got it into my head that l can do bet ter by starting a run to the Tolo- vana. I will make as many trips per week as the business will jus tify, starting a car from Olnes and one from Brooks at the same time if possible
 MT. Frame states that he intends to continue his service to Chitna as long as he can do so and make money at it. However he says that if conditions are as bad as they were last winter, he wants none of it as the eNnense is entirely 100 great

Anton Christopher, the former Ciatanika saloon man, is arranging to open drink emporium in the TOlovana.

 After fishing all day he returned to the roadhouse empty handed, where he was subjected to the de risive remarks of his friends on his John had made a discovery while he was fishing which the other fellows did not know about He little surprise on them when he brought in two fine pickerel
 Consequently Johns fishing ability rose several notches in the estima- tion of the other deniZens of the roadhouse They did not know that while he was fishing the first day he had discovered a net and that he quietly abstracted two fish therefrom on the second day he was out.

For be it known that Sam Godfrey, the Tolovana mining magnate, or the roughneck dance artist has quit smoking. and therefore the only means he has of getting a whiff of smoke from a good cigarette for his starved lungs is to get it second hand from his friends.
 Mir. Godfrey quit smoking about six weeks ago on bet with Tom Mckinnon. No money was put up, but unless they mutually agree to start again the first one of the two who smokes will pay the other $250. other to go through with the bet, as they are widely separated most of the time.
 MT McKinnons friends in Fair banks are trying to get MT. God frey to call the bet off and smoke, hoping to get slice of Sam's money. Sam, however, steadfastly refuses to do more than inhale the loose smoke from anothers cigar cite, until he feels that he can af ford to pay the bet, although he is now talking in thousands as the result of his already consummated deals in the TOlovana.

LIGHTS ON METER

The street lights of Fairbanks are now on a meter system. havin been turned on for the first timC last Friday evening. From this time on the lights will be turned on only on dark nights, as it is felt that there is no necessity for them when the moon is shining brightly. It is expected that the meter system of lighting the city will prove very advantageous from a financial point of view, as the Northern Conner cial company formerly charged $19 per night for tho service

 Intending 10 make sure Mir. Memo went to the bunhhouse and secured a pair of field glasses. He focused them on the spot where he had seen the movement and still thought the object was moose. He passed the glasses to his partners and they likewise thought moose was brows- ing about on the hillside.
