CASCAOEN BUYS FISHERS MILL
 AT WEST FORK

LIVENGOOD, Dec. 7.-The latest deal of any importance put through in this district is the consolidation of the sawmill plants under the firm of Newlands & Cascaden. Last spring MT. Ca.caden purchased out right the saw mill owned and ope- rated by J. E. Moody at West Fork. In the transaction just completed, by which Cascaden and Newlands gain control of the market, the Fisher brothers sold out their plant at West Fork to them, and Walter Fisher intends to wolk with a drill on lower Goldstream, prospecting.
 Ca9caden & Newlands are hauling ties and material for the early con tinuation of the tram from West Fork to Brooks in the spring.
 We have had week of bitter cold, which has caused everything but steady meals to halt to stand still. Added to a temperature rang ing about 50 day and night, we have the Livengood winds to lamb the shorn with, and, believe me. the Keen Kutter can do it. No teams have been out, and wood is strictly at the top of the high cost of living.

CLUB ACCEPTS
 HAPPY TRAIL

At meeting of the executive board of the Fairbanks Commercial club yesterday afternoon, the club re ceived the report of MT. McGrath, foreman of the crew who built the new Happy trail to the Tolovana country, and formally accepted it.
 MT. McGrath states that in the 46 days the crew was out the trail was opened up from the Ohio road house to the Tatalina river, where it connects with the road that the Brooks merchants built last year. The worst spots of niggerheads were cut out and the trail swamped and built up wherever it was necessary E pecial attention was given to the creek approaches and bridges, and the route is now ready for travel. It is probable that the mail stages will use this trail to the Ohio, com mencing this morning.
 At present the roadhouse accom- mOdatOnS, while not the best, make it practicable for the freighters to use it. There are excellent open ings, however, for roadhouses at bo3b tho Chotapilya and the Tatalina rivers.

J. r. sherman. the father of Irene, the little girl who was so badly burned a short time ago. will have the skin removed from his own body so that it may be grafted on his daughters arms and neck. The ope ration will take place within a few days at St. Joseph's hospital.
 Irene is the only remaining one of the children who were in the Sher man home when it caught fire As a result of burns sustained in the same fire two other children have died: James Sherman, the ten monthsold brother of Irene, and Mary Porter, the four year-old daugh ter of MT. and Mrs. F. J. Porter For several days Irene's life was de spaired of, but she has shown grad ual improvement all along, and q short time ago it was announced that she had excellent chances for recovery. If the operation which is to be performed is successful it will have the effect of greatly improving her condition, and will probably elim- mate most of the unsightly scars that would otherwise disfigure her as result of the burns.

BOOB CREEK CONTINUES TO BE THE BEST LOOKING GROUND IN THE DlSTRiCT-GOOD PAY REPORTED THERE-BlG MONEY PAID FOR SEVERAL CLAIMS.

In a letter recently received in town, a good account of the new camp at Tolstoi is given. From the tenor of the letter it will be seen that those on the ground have every confidence in the country.
 The letter, in part, follows:
 "So far there are five pay claims on Boob creek. The last one wa discovered by Big Lars and Frank Dawson on No. l above discovery, Max Menord and Ernest Beattie have pay on and above, and 1t is reported that Bob Robinson al O has pay on above.
 George Riley, of discovery Otter, and his partner, Pete Monier, have recently bought discovery and the Emmet Fraction from Greer and Me Nulty and expect to have 35 or flo men at work right after the holi- days; they will use two 50 horse power boilers, which are already landed at the mouth of the Tolstoi.
 Riley and Monier have bought out all of Greer and McNulty's, as well as Pitchers, holdings in this country. They paid $33,0 900 for the 7O0foot fraction; 5000 ca4h to Greer and $15,0O0 cash to McNulty. Pitcher sold for s20,OO0, s10,000 down. These include about twelve more claims on the other creeks.
 For my part l found fair pros poets on Mastodon bench last sum mer before I went to Iditarod to make my grubstake It is my opini on, as well as that of everyone else, that Tol4toi Is going to make a camp. I believe it will probably be as good as Fairbanks in the future.
 There was a little pay found on Esperanda last summer. Esperanda is tributary of Madison and is about 12 miles across country from the Boob paystreak. There was also a little pay found on Mastodon last summer, but they have abandoned the work until after the freezeup this winter. This same Pete Monier found a little pay on Wilson (Mastodon) on the claim he bought from John Runkle, an oldtimer from Fairbanks.
 I would like to see a lot of you good quartz miners come to this district and see what you could do with the dike across this country So far as I know it is blue rosy on lime quartz, found in considerable quantities on several of the little creeks, feeders of the big creeks. have seen several of the float where you could see the gold through.
 The country also shows good pros poets for coal. The tests made so far show that it will be a good help to the prospectors and operators of the future"

Warning Nations
 Making Exchange
lNsSOCiated preSs(

LONDON. Dec. 9 Delayed) According to an announcement made tonight from the British war office. an arrangement has been made whereby Germany and England will exchange ci- william prisoners who are over fOrty-five years of age That is, English prisoners being held by Germany will be exchanged for a corresponding number of Ger man prisoners held by England. The arrangements for the ex- change of prisoners were made through the medium of America.
 This is the first exchange of prisoners ever agreed upon by the forces opposing each other in the great European war. For at it's very outset, over two years ago. they each declared them selves as being oppoGed to al lowing their enemies to go back to the firing line after once be- ing captured. It Is understood that England has over 4,000 ci- william German prisoners, while Germany is said to have only 700 prisoners of like status.

BANKRUP IS ID
 BE CATALCCUED

BERLIN, Dec. 10.-For the bene fit of creditors, one of the higher courts of Berlin has assembled sta tistics from the huge area of Great CT Berlin" showing all the bank ruptcy proceedings of years past. and containing all the names of men and firms that have gone through bankruptcy and been found to have no tangible assets.
 This measure is taken especially because it has heretofore been the case that creditors In one section of Berlin have pushed expensive bankruptcy suits again4t apparently solvent firms, only to find after it was too late that the firms had been through bankruptcy In some other section of the city.
 The new institution will in part be operated on the style of card catalogue, in which will be entered all the salient facts about any bank ruptcy proceeding in any of the many sections of the city. It will be along the line of Bradstreet or Dun agency, for It's information will also be open to the individual contemplating loans or credit to per sons who on their record should have none.

NEW PRECINCT
 CHANGES VOTE

The official returns from Spruce creek, which is in the Ruby district, as received by the clerk of court, gives Sulzer six and Wickersham sixteen According to various esti- mates, Sulzer has been very slightly in the lead before this vote was in, and the vote, though small as it is, very materially changes the com plexion of the situation.
 It is thought that all returns from the First, Second and Fourth divi- sions are now in, and only four or possibly five boxes in the Third to hear from. With the vote so close, 1t will be after the first of the year before there can be any definite as- surance of the election of either can didate.

THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF THE LOCAL COMMERCIAL CLUB THE TOWN WILL SOON HAVE FIRST CLASS MUSICAL ORGANIZATION OF HER OWN.

Yesterday evening, through the To cal Commercial club, the town of Fairbanks became owners of a com plete set of band instruments. These were ordered last summer, and were to have been here before the close of navigation, but were held up in Seattle on account of being received there too late for shipment by the water route.
 Realizing the importance of hay Ing them here during the winter months, so that practice might be commenced, the Commercial club ar ranged to have the instruments brought in over the trail. They ar rived Saturday and were taken out of the express office yesterday.
 During the past two years the town has been compelled to secure out-of-town music for the numerous celebrations that are pulled off here during the summer months. But when the boys get organized, Fair banks will have a band that is second to none, as it consists of twenty three pieces, including three clarion cts, two drums and two cymbal..
 The instructor, William Gobracht announces that a meeting will be held Thursday night at the Nordale hotel for the purpose of completing the organizatio of the band. He asks that every one who has ever had any experience to be on hand, also those who would like to join and aid in making this an organiza tion that the town will be proud of
