STREETS WILL BE IMPROVED.

ANCHORAGE.--COntracts will be awarded immediately for street i'm provement work which comprehends the placing of a layer of gravel for a width of fifteen feet from B. street along Fourth avenue as far as K street, and from B. street along Fifth avenue as far as K street. The work will be done under the auspices of the townsite manager and under the i'm mediate direction of the town engineer.
 The work of building sidewalks along Fourth and Fifth avenues will start as soon as the lumber arrives from the outside. None of the kind required for the purpose could be ob- tained here.
 The permanent water supply sys- tenn will likewise be installed as soon as the necessary material arrives.
 The lighting and power system and the local telephone system are mat ters that are as yet undetermined, but it is quite possible that an early solu- tion of these problems will be found. -Pioneer.)

PAY REPORTED LOST
 IN THE CHISANA.

Word has been received in a letter from the Chisana that Charley Range, who had the rich pay on discovery claim on Skookum gulch last year, ran out of the pay this year after working only five feet into the face from the point where he shut down last fall. Range, the writer says, would have saved himself heavy ex- penses had he worked a few feet further last fall, as he went outside during the winter and bought and brought in heavy equipment for further mining this year It is under stood Range will do further prospect ing with hopes of finding the pay elsewhere on the claim. The lower end of the Range claim adjoins the Carl Whitman claim on Little FL dorado.

FIRST NEW
 GOLD EXCAVATOR ARRIVES.

DAWSON.-A. N. c. Treadgold's new placer digging machine has ar rived in Dawson, and is to be taken to the creeks immediately. It will be placed on upper Dominion creek, and it is expected to get it into operation this fall and to run it long enough to give it a thorough trial before the freezeup.
 This axacavator is built after the style of certain ones used extensively in Europe for some time for excavat- ing gravel, and working chalk, coal and other deposits. 1t has capacity in such material equal to that of the largest gold dredges working in the Klondike, and the cost is understood to be only about one tenth as much as the dredges. The excavator it is hoped, will so reduce the cost of work ing in frozen gravels and to revou- tionize mining in such placers, es- pecially on creeks, and thus to bring into the zone of profitable working many low-grade creeks which other wise could not be operated by the ordinary procsss of thawing and with drpdpeS.

highways.
Steve POkos, Waukesha, employed in
a stone quarry, broke his neck on July
16, while unloading hay in the yards.
He was taken to the hospital and lived
one month, seemingly improving
when pneumonia set in and he sue
cumbed. He leaves a family in Eu-
rope.
Frederick Sommer, Is months old,
Milwaukee, tried to follow daddy,

Half a million dollars. and more, will be expended in Pine Bluff ana Jefferson county within the next lew months, for good roads. modern streets and drainage purposes.
 Everybody knows that vast sums have heen expended in this section the past year for these same pur. poses. Roads ave been built in all directions. Drainage work has been completed in many parts of the coun- ty. Here in Pine Bluff itself. State street was paved, from Sixth avenue to Seventeenth avenue. and Pine street was paved from Fifth avenue these being the most important items of stree improvement work. In the couny, in addition to the road work completed, 65 concrete bridges were erected by the county, it being County Judge Philpot's policy to erect bridges of, steel and concrete only when it is necessary to build bridges, Contracts have been let or work Is under way on the following road and street improvement propositions
