A brilliant musical occas sion will be
that this afternoon at the Tutwiler, when

pleasure.

et which is composed of such high-class
artists as Antoinette zoellner, first vio-
lin; Armand zoellner, second violin; Joseph
zoellner, viola, and Joseph Zoellner, Jr.,
cello.
No string quartet in the country has
finer reputation than the Zoellner quartet
and in New York, Chicago, Boston and
the other musical centers unstinted praise
has been given the excellent musicians
composing the ensemble.
Especially has the presentation of ultra
modern music by the Zoellners attracted
attention, and with the Flonzalely quar-
tet. the Adele Margelies trio and other
well-known organization the musical
worth is well represented in the line of
chamber music, the Zoellners ranking
very high.

ROSS ID HUNT F0R NEW TRAIL
 ID TOL0vANA
AUTOMOBILE MAN WILL USE HIS CATERPILLAR TO
 HAUL FREIGHT.

| H H. Ross. the local automobile man. is now taking trip to the | Tolovana country with the object of looking for trail over which he may freight with the big caterpllier the controlling interest in which he purchased some time ago He fig ures on looking over two routes, both of which he has heard about but has never seen. and if he choos- es one of them, will do any neces- sary work on their construction i'm mediately.
 MT. Ross states that in his opin- ion, 1t will be absolutely impossible for tho c7tersil'AI or automobiles 10 operate on the government trail now being built. He says that the grades will prove too steep even though they are now being cut down by the crew of the Alaska Road commission engaged in work ing on them.
 He therefore figures on finding q route which will be more level He intends to pick out place where very little work will have to be done. particularly after snow falls, but says that he will make the caterpillar build her own trail in that he will use 1t to push a heavy timber of some kind resting close to the ground He states that in this manner he can clear away all small trees or nlggerheads, as they will break easily after they are frozen
 One route thought of by Mr Ross is the Minto lake route, and he will look 1t over while on his trip. If he decides to take that route, he will use the government trail from Fairbanks as far down as Minto road house and will take the flats and the lakes from there to the northward. He thinks that the distance will be but very littl longer.
 Another route which will be look ed over by Mir Ross will be the Happy creek route It will follow the merly-contemplate1 route from Fairbanks tp the log jam on the Tolovana river, and from there across country to Brooks.

Pioneers Celebrate
 Alaska S Birthday

Although it might have been thought that Alaska's natal day was forgotten in Fairbanks for the reason that it was not celebrated publicly except by the closing of of a dance in evening, such was the Pioneers held a rousing ce]e ly 175 of the members of the order were in attendance despite the fact that the affair was given but d days publicity and an impromptu program consisting of songs, recita tions and speeches was rendered.
 A. R. Heilig, the vice president of the order was in the chair, open ing the meeting with one of his characteristic short speeches. He was followed by Cecil H. Clegg, who spoke of the significance of the day Delegate Wickersharn spoke of the future of Alaska, while Sam Kincaid told of some of the old Pioneers of the territory Among the other speakers and story tellers of the evening were o. P Gaustad and w. H. McPhee. A Victrola 'Caned by the Nlctrola shop wa used for the rendition of several numbers during the evening" The only matter of business at tended to during the evening was the instruction issued by the igloo to it's secretary to send message to it's president, Thomas A. Me Gowan, who is now on his way Outside to secure medical treat ment.
 Refreshments of all kinds, both liquid and solid, were served through out the evening. The session closed with the singing of America" by the entire asSemblage.

REFUSE TO PURCHASE
 BROAD PASS MINES.

Negotiations between owners and prospective buyers of claims on the large lode of low grade ore at Broad Pass have ended in a deadlock. F'l- ture dealings will depend upon the owners, unless some capitalist with sufficient funds to handle the prop osition arrives to consider the pres ent offer.
 Representatives of the two larg- est mining interests in Alaska and from several lesser interests have been at Broad Pass and looked over the claims.
 One of these men is now in Sew ard, He is not seeking publicity at this time, and only agreed to an interview on the understanding that his name be withheld With this understanding he made the fol- lowing statement, says the Gateway:
 There Is vast body of low grade ore at Broad Pass. which on surface indications is promising.
 The claims on the inside that ie the claims on the ore body or on ground where it outcrops, are held by about 20 men.
 Assays of surface rock show an average value of s4 per ton. This showing is sufficient to warrant thorough prospecting.
 The claim owners want about S50 900 claim for their ground, some asking as high as $75,000.
 The owners want on the average five per cent down and more each year. My people are willing to put all that is necessary into prospect inc but they will not pay for the rieht to prospect. The amount ask ed for the claims is not out of reason if the values are there We are willing to buy an option giving Us the right to prospect and with the first payment falling due in two or three years.
 ITO handle group of these claims at a profit will call for the investment of not less than s3,O0O,- 000 after the completion of the | government railroad to that point Without railroad it would mean an additional investment of enough more to transport overland the vast amount of machinery necessary.
 "It is obvious. therefore, tha, | nothing can be done toward install lation of a mill until the road is completed, say about three years from now. This is not a handicap however, for no responsible corpora tion nor corporation which has that amount of money at it's disposal would invest it until the ground was thoroughly prospected To do this would take from $25,OOO to 5O.OOt per claim.
 "It must be determined that the values existing on the surface ex tend below and tunnels and drifts must be driven to show suff1cien. tonnage of ore in sight to warrant SO great an investment. Mining is science. not a gamble. The gam. b'e would be the spending of $25. 900 on the prospect holes.

 Quite a crowd of Willow creek miners passed through Seward on their way outside recently and all brought good reports.
 Eugene Bartholf says that the Gold Bullion, Alaska Free Gold and Independence mines are in good ore and that the output for the season will be almost a quarter of million. He says high grade ore was struck iii new lead on the Alaska Free Gold and that an eight foct ledge has been opened up in the 9keen-M Mccoy mine, which William Martin, of the Free Gold company. took over last year. Bartholf is the original locator in the district
 W. B. Phelps. the cyanide ex- pert, and W. R. Hooking, assayer from Martins mine, called at the office of The Post while on their way outside and said that the out put so far this season is about $90,000. They visited the Gold Bull lion on the way out and report every face in ore
