TAKE LEASE ON
 SHERRY GROUND

Fairbanks Times: One of the most significant mining deals put through in Fairbanks in many months was that consumated yester- day when Harry Pearson and An drew Johnson, doing business under the name of Pearson < Johnson ty,k q lease on the upper one-hul. oI laa Le'trim association claim. oa Liyeugood creek, in the Tolo- yaua district. The Leitrim claim, which. by the way is named after Che the counties of Ireland, is situ- at+d on the right limit bench, op- posite 3 above on Liyengood creek, and is owned by J. J. sherry and Dave Cascaden.
 The lease provides that the les sees shall have the right to mine tho ground for the next three years, md that they shall enter upon i- and continue to work it in a work mauIiEe manner during that time. TSey are not compelled to enter up on the ground to start operations before October 1, 1915.
 The deal is significant in that P,arscu & Johnson have been oper- a,'ng on one adjoining claims for the past two months, That thcy .dre satisfied that the ground is good is evident from the fact that they gre willing and ready to take uI more ground.
 The lease provides that the les .2oys shall receive 25 per cent O. he gross output of the claim, aad ia the event that the pay runs $15U or letter to the foot, they are to receive thirty-thrce and cne-third per cent.
 Duncan Michie, who has been looking over Tolovana property for th~ rast three weeks, thinks that the good ray found on the Deep Channel claim, which adjoins the Sherry -Cascaden property, extends through the Leitrim claim.

ALASKA AND YUKON TO
 HAVE NEW DIRECTORY

F. M. Poore representing R. L.. Polk & Co. the directory publishers, arrived from the interior last eV- Rning. He is one of a force of men now in the field obtaining data for the new directory
 The last publication was in 1911, The business world is demanding an up to date book, forcing the directory publishers to get it out this year.
 or the hundreds of various di- rectories published by R. L. Polk & Co.,, the Alaska and Yukon di- rectory is one of the most expensive to obtain and if it would have been possible they would have passed on for at least another year, when per haps, the war would be ended and the north enjoying the prosperity which is sure coming.
 MT. Poore states they have obtained data on all new camps and much new information which will make this issue one of the best directories ever published GOV eIinV the north.

ALASKA TO HAVE
 POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

The following letter has been re- Ceived by Governor strong from the third assistant postmaster gen. eral ill regard to the extension of tho postal savings bank system throughout Alaska:
 Consideration is now being given Co the extension of the facilities of the postal savings system to the principal postoffices in the territory of Alaska and in connection with its proposed action it is important that arrangements be made for the proper disposition of all postal say ings deposits.
 "The Federal Postal Savings Act provides that the funds received at each postoffice shall be preferably deposittd d in local banks which may qualify to receive them, it being stipulated that only bank organized under national or state laws and subject to national or state super vision and examination shall be el- igible to qualify as such depOsi tories. There is a prohibition in the Federal Reserve Act against the deposit of postal savings funds in banks not belonging to the Fed eral Reserve System, but this is not applicable to Alaska, and in view Of the recent enactment by your legislature of a comprehensive banking law providing for supervi- sion and examination of territorial banks, apparently, in addition to the two national banks in Alaska, all solvent incorporated banks organized under the laws of Alaska will be eligible to qualify as Repositories fer postal sayings funds if they de sire to do so. Private banks are hold not to be "oranized" within the meaning of the law and are therefore ineligible to receive such deposits"

answering the anxious inquiries of the

and be the recipients Of one Of his
many gifts. 1t was just about o'clock
when the first Of the big red stockings
vas lowered into his waiting arms
md there was n large number Of chill
lren waiting for his bounty. While
he crowds of little folks were not
quite as large as last week they all
seemed just as eager for the little gifts
which the good man had for them and
we're just as regardless of the teams
Ind automobiles in the street. PATROL
men Weymouth and Weiss put in a
busy afternoon and it was chiefly due
10 their vigilence that an accident was
iverted, as the majority of drivers Of

y disregard to rushing children. San
