FIRST MAIL IN WEEKS
 ARRIVES OVER TRAIL

Although mail has been departing weekly over the Seward tr&:l since the first of November, the first consignment to be re- ceiyed here arrived last Sunday afternoon, in charge of Teddy CasSiday. 1. consisted of two sacks, and was mostly from Yukon and Tanana river points. with very little Outside matter.
 This Is the first mail of any description that has been received in icitarod since October ? Those citizens of Fairbanks who are agitatng for "aIl the mail all the time can understand how much better situated they are than are the residents of this local ity, as far as mail service is concerned at least.
 It was announced when the Seward mail service went into effect this year that the contractors would make an effort to give d twenty day service. While this may not be realized on the first trip, supposing the trails are not solid enough in places for fast travelling, it is within the range of possi- bihty that the first mail may arrive today. At any rate the schedule calls for its de livery by the 24th inst

PROSPECTING ON HORSEFLY
 IS GOING ON STEADILY

While nothing new has been learned as to Gevelapments on Horsehy creek, the scene of the recent stampede on the ldtarod river above Dikeman, it is known that con siderable prospecting is being done there. A prospecting boiler and outfit left for the new district early in the week, and others probably will follow soon.
 From time to time vague rumors are ln circulation as to happenings at the scene of the reported strike. bat as everyone is on the tiptoe of expectation for something to happen. these rumors, when siited down, usually are found to be mere speculation.
 However, from all accounts, it would not be in the least surprising to hear some ln- teresting news from IIorsehy creek in the near future.
 Henry Weir manager of the local tele- phone company with Charles Worden, the well known old time miner, left for Hor5efiy creek yesterday morning. They were fol lowed by Harry Watson later in the day, who was to catch up with them at the Halfway roadhouse Their plans seem to have been formed rather hurriedly, and were the cause of much discussion.

They left here on October last on board the launch Tramp, which carried passengers for St. Michael to catch the last boat for the Outside It was the intention of Larson and Christen to bring the launch back to Iditarod prior to the freeze-up, if possible. But fortune was against them. The vessel was frozen in at KotHk, and after an ex- pedition for their relief had been sent out by the military authorities they arrived at St Michael Paul and Frank, after seeing tEe balance of the party safely embarked on board ship immediately set cut on their return home

DISTRICT COURT TERM
 AT RUBY NEXT APRIL

In a letter received from Judge Bunnell by Fred Harrison in last Sundays mail the former intimated that there would be a term of the district court held at Ruby shortly before the breakup next spring. Contrary to general expectation here there was no intimation that a spring term would be held in Idltarod.
 If the court comes to Ruby over the trail before the breakup and leaves after the opening of navigation, 1t is not likely that a summer or fall term will be held st down. river points, and Iditarod may thus be de prived of term of court this year. which would cause a great deal of inconvenience and expense to ltigants.
 This is matter which would appear to demand the attention of the newl ly-formed Commercial Club.

also taken to the hospital as was Fred Courtney. who was in great pain from all affection of the arm.
 The rest of the party took up quarters in the old N A. T hotel.
 Taken Off by the Bear
 The party was compelled to wait at St. Michael several days pending the arrival of vessel to take them to Nome. The harbor was full of ice, and as no ordinary vessel could put in there the cutter Bear of the United States coast guard service cane over for them. She had to break through ice for a mile to get into St. Michael. The task of loading the passengers on board consumed a whole day, from s o'clock i'll the morning until ) o'clock in the after noOn The method used was unique. The ice from the shore to where the Bear lay was weak in spots. A dory was therefore run out on the ice, and with four or five men holding on on each side, it was pushed from shore to the steamship. In this man ner, in case the party broke through they would have something to cling to. The party was safely embarked and the Bear got away as early as possible.
 Mir. Larson says that all of the Tramp party stood the journey well, and met with no disasters worth mentioning, although Bert Meyers froze his toe during the em- barkation at St. Michael. One lady was a trife hysterical, but as rule they bore the journey as braveiy as the men.
 The Start Honeward
 Larson and Christen procured dog team at St. Michael and made the journey to kaltag in seven days. At Kaltag they were Joined by Siegrled Wick, with a dog team. The snow was heavy the entire distance between Kaltag to within a few miles of Dikeman, and they were compelled to snow shoe the entire distance. Without good dogs, Mir. Larson says the trip would have been impossible. They were laid up at Diskaket for four days
 They made the trip from Diskaket to the Indian village in three days, and met Harry Larson and the native, Simon, few miles this side of that point.
 It is needless to say that the wanderers were joyfully received on their return, as even men as experienced on the trail as are Larson and Christen have been known to lose their way during storms. It was known that they left kaltag on November /, and ; twelve days from that point is considered slow travelling. But Frank says the snow was Something fierce

Second Search Party

They made the trip from St. Michael to Kaltag in seven days by dog team, and left the latter place on November ?. Ordinarily the trip from kaltag to this city shoud be made in a few days, even without dogs, and the non appearance of the mushers caused great anxiety here. Harry Larson, a brother of Frank, left Dikeman on Mon day last with an Indian named Simon, to search for his brother, and he met him and the other members of the party few miles above Indian Village, on the Iditarod below Dikeman, and the entire party came to this city With Messrs Larson and Christen were Siegred Wick, trader of kaltag, and a native Thus Larson and Christen had the unique distinction of having been the cause of the organization of two relief parties to search for them during one journey, al though both are experienced mushers.
