Healey Country
 Is Looking Good

That the Healy river district Is aure some day to be mining camp of some magnitude is the opH- ion Of Joe Davies, Wno arrived in own from that country last week. A great deal of development WorK will necessarily have to be done, but the returned taTbanksan states that he is sure that any money or effort expended there in prospecting will be well rewarded in the flu turG.
 But very few outfits are now work ing on Canyon creek which is the only stream which has so far s-own pay prospects. The ground is wet, Hammer X Morgan having been drowned out of their old workings where they were crOsscutting the paystreak They are now sinking a new shaft. Lawrence & Albrecht, the Tenderfoot operators, are also prospecting on Canyon creek as is HaJukovich, the McCarty roadnouse man.
 MT. Davies is of tLe opinion that should adequate machinery be taken to the Healy country, paystreaks would undoubtedly be uncoNe cred on several of the creeks there. The men who are prospecting there now are working by the crudeSt kind of methods, none Of them having pumps with which to handle the water.

F ormer Editor of
 Citizen in War

That A. M. Elliot, who was for merly an editor of The Alaska Citi- zen, is now at the front with the British forces in the war which is convulsing the whole of Europe, is the information gleaned from a British Field Service card received from him by the proprietor of this paper last week. The card is one allowed to the soldiers for making reports concerning themselves to relatives and friends, having all of the necessary information printed on it. The only thing which is not scratched out On the card received by The Citizen are the words, Il am quite well"
 MT Elliot was the first editor of The Alaska Citizen when the pa per was started more than five years ago. He went from Fairbanks to Iditarod and other places on the lower river, the last heard of him be- ing that he had gone to Siberia. Fair banksans who were acquainted with MT.

 Three men were eating breakfast in the Little Grill the morning after he show One remarked that the lOye scenes in What Happened to Jones" were more naturally pulled off than any he had ever seen in a local production, stating further that . local amateurs generally seemed to be afraid of each other when it came to making love on the stage. One of the other men then said that the excellent love scenes in the late production were due to the in troduetion of new blood in the cast of characters. The third man having been one of those who had appeared on the stage the night be fore, thought il wise to say nothing.

 Nearly every man in town who has spoken to Frank Hall about the show has said that he would like to have been in his place at the end of the first act.

 Weren't those girls just too sweet for anything?' was remark heard concerning Miss Fitts. Miss Lewis and Miss Anderson.
 One young lady remarked that it was too bad Charlie Deinerts fine figure was hidden by blanket.
 It was the consensus of opinion by those who had the good fortune to see What Happened to Jones, that Sherlock Holmes had nothing on William Landwehr.
 A number of people were heard to remark on their way out of the Auditorium Friday night that the play might have been written es- pecially for those taking part so well did everyone fit the role as signed them.
