Prit- chett had f,een foolish enough to apply tor imitation into the order, aud were caused to drag thelr heed- ing feet over the icy stairway of the old Chiikoot Pass. 1t will al- ways remain a question in the minds of the members as to which of these two boobs furnished the most amusement,
 Following the initiatory cere- monies the members repaired to the banquet hall where a Dutch lunch was ser yed.
 Upon returning to the lodge room the Arctic Chief called for Songs from several brothers all of whom responded. MT. Warren played the piano accompaniment for each of the brothers who sang.

(The word chicken as here used means fowl.) The chicken was not stewed, but roasted, and MT. Bender was the chef who pre- sided at thereasting. There were five guests, and dinner enough for twenty. The five tried to eat it all. It was two hours and thirty five minutes from the time they sat down at the table until they managed to arise and retire to the parlor.
 In the estimation of those whe were fortunate enough to be pre- sent MT. Bender is rated as be- ing of the hundred per cent vari ety.. In fact he seems too good to be true. (Mo pun being intended.) The wonder is that he has not been appropriated by some bach elor girl of affairs who would ap- preciate a good cook and house. keeper er-one who iG addition to his culinary achievements pos sesses connubial requisites and would make her happy ever alter.
 The guests were: Hon. ]. R. Heckman of Ketchikan, q. L. Burnett, w. L. Ralch. l.. H. Brown, and Leo Mccormack. Mir. Burnett acted as toast master.

 : A RARE TREAT
Was Given by Mrs. Edna Louise
 White and Miss Bronson

It is not often that the people of the Northland are afforded such a treat as the violin concert given in the Redmen's hall Saturday even- ing by Mrs. Edna Louise White, assisted by Miss Margaret Bron- son.
 Mrs. White is an artist of rare ability. She studied abroad for several years. receiving instruc- tion from some of the European masters. Her playing is much sought for, and is always a big drawing card.
 At the concert Saturday evening there was not a number that did not receive most hearty encore. It seemed that the audience could not get enough of her play ing which was surely of a high order of artistic excellence.
 Mrs. White was accompanied on the piano by Miss Margaret Bron- son whose technique added much to the success of the affair.

PLACER MINING
 ON THIBERT CREEK
F.. M. Fedton Tells of Activities Du-
 riug the Past Season

F. M. Fenton, manager of the Dease Creek Syndicate, arrived on the Iskoot last Thursday after noon. The Dease Creek Syndi- cate, which IS controlled by Vic toria capitafi sts, has been for sev- eral years operating an hydraulic mining on Thibert creek. which empties into Bease Lake about six milds below the mines.
 When seen at the Wrangell Ho- tel just before his departure for Seattle on the Princess Alice, Mr. Fenton said;
 There isn't much to be said about our operations at present. Since I became manager for the company three years ago we have been operating on a moderate scale. Next season we will operate on a much more elaborate scale.
 The past season has been a bad one for water. 1t has been unusually dry where we were op- erating. We were also handi- capped by the poor transportation facilities into the country. My first shipment of supplies was made from Seattle on the eth of May, and reached me on the 2sd ot July. There were no supplies in the country. and we had to make out the best we could.
 The season was largely taken to finishing Up grounds which We were unable to finish last season, owing to shortness of water. But taking into account that the dig gings themselves were not respon- sible for any of the drawbacks. l consider that the season has been a very Satisfactory one.
 We could have continued min. ing at least two weeks ionger but on account of making changes in the plant we closed the season Septem- Der 30. The wrecking of the large plant required about two weeks, this being necessary in order to re- move the plants to the new pits. This will be done during the wln- ter months. The plant will pc put in place ln time to take advantage of the early spring freshets which usually come dove about the mid dle of May.
 In the near future there will undoubtedly be considerable ac- tivity in inc region where we are operating. 1t is a placer mining district which extends 60 miles down Dease river. Almost the whole district is a hydraulic pro- position.
 'I shall return about the middle of April, and have the plant in- stalled and ready for early spring work. As 1 have already stated. we will operate on a much larger scale next year, and everything is favorable for good season S clean up."
