able prospecting has been done on the creek claims and on the first and second tier bench claims, that the third tier bench stands a good chance of containing the pay. For this reason the mining men who have taken leases on the ground have concluded to give the bench a tryout.
 Last spring the entire mining pop ulation of the interior was eleCtri fled to learn that rich pay had been discovered on No. II below Dome, first tier benches. The discovery was made by Quirk X Gideon, who worked the ground at a good profit during the past summer. Gideon lat CT sold out to George Robins and went Outside about two weeks ago

SLUlClNG OPERATIONS TO GO ON WINTER DUMPS WILL BE
 TAKEN OUT.

According to the reports reaching Fairbanks from the Tolovana, that camp has very promising outlook for the fall cleanup and the winter work. The recent rains have made it possible for the miners to continue sluicing operations this season and they will continue the same until the middle of November.
 The miners in that section are very much encouraged by the result | of this seasons work and most of them plan to continue their opera tions this winter. It is reported that eighteen of them will take out win ter dumps. they are so confident that the Tolovana will be a good camp this winter
 The shortage of freight that threat | encd earler in the summer has now been remedied by the heavy rains which made it possible to bring the freight up the river. There will, therefore. be no shortage of goods | there, as enough is now in camp for the winter. Of course there may be lack of a few things, but the gen eral shortage that was threatened earlier in the season has now been done away with.
 There has been plenty of men this summer so that the labor question has never been a bothersome one. The miners in that vicinity look for a great many people there this winter. so do not look for shortage of men on the winter work.
 According to the reports there will be much prospecting in the dis t.ct this winter, and new pay may be struck. The country is a diff cult one to do summer prospecting in on account of the glacial mud which, by it's seepage, prevents any holes from being sunk. About the only prospecting that IS now being done is drill outfit on the flats. They have secured leases on a great deal of ground and are now engaged in prospecting the ground.
 It is reported that the trail from Olnes to Brooks is now in a very bad condition. Mud is knee deep and the niggerheads are very hard to travel over.
 The whole outlook for good little preliminary work has been ac- complished. and from this time for ward the operators can begin to realize on their efforts.

FOURTEEN OUTFITS WILL WORK ON RIGHT LIMIT BENCH
 DURING WINTER

Reports reaching Fairbanks from Olnes are to the effect that a con sistent attempt is to be made to To- cate the paystreak on the lower part of Dome creek during the com ing winter. In fact, lower Dome will be one of the most active spots in the country, according to the reports, teen outfits have already secured leases on right limit bench ground from No. below down stream.
 Most of the work is to be done on the third tier benches, according to the report. It is now believed, by reason of the fact that consider
The Alaska citizen., 1916-10-09

Dome was supposed to be blank, insofar as a paystreak was concern ed. From No. below on up the creek Dome had proven to be good. many millions in gold having been extracted from it's gravels. But from No ' below on down the creek to the flats nothing of importance had ever been discovered except in the flats at the mouth of the creek, where the pay was also good.
 But the discovery of Quirk & Gid con located a part, at least, of the lost lower Dome paystreak. And it is the continuation of this streak on up the creek that the miners will search for on the third tier bench during the coming winter.

The story told is that Peterson, the victim of the shooting, was walk ing along Barnette street about 73O o'clock. He noticed Bernard on the other side of the street, apparently in an intoxicated condition and car rying 30-30 rifle. He then made for the nearest telephone, according to the story, which happened to be
 in Katie Pinchettis place, and was telephoning for an officer when Ber- hard. who apparently recognized the significance of Peterson's telephon- ing, came to the front door of the place and shot at Peterson point blank. through the window in the door.
 The woman was in the back room of her place at the time and was just coming out to see who was us- ing her telephone. according to her statement. She was just entering the front room when Bernard fired, and she and Peterson both started for the back room. Bernard then fired the second shot.
 There was considerable excitement on the row last night as the result of the shooting. therefore an abso- lutely connected story of the affair was practically unobtainable.
 Bernard is said to have been in an intoxicated condition for the past two weeks And it is also stated the he has been freQuenting the re- stricted district great deal of that time. He has been in trouble of vari- ous sorts before, but up until the last two weeks is said to have been working steadily on the Groves wood saw. He has, in his time, been man of great strength, one of the stories told about him being that one time, in company with Al Pres colt, now deceased, he broke down the door of the city jail, carried 1t to the river and threw it in, then went to Garden Island. out of the jurisdiction of the city authorities.
 It was at this time. according to statements made by people who claim to know, that Bernard formed an antipathy for Peterson. as Peter son had been one of the officials who made his arrest His motive for shooting Peterson last night is there fore attributed to revenge.
 However, no reason for his carry ing the rifle last night in particular has been explained. When he made an examination of the gun after 1t was found last night. Deputy Mar shal Miller stated that there was 3O-40 cartridge jammed in the bar rel, which is undoubtedly the reason why Bernard did not do more shoot ing.
 PETERsoN'S STORY.
 While Peterson was lying on the operating table at Dr. Sutherland's office he gave the following account of the shooting:
 T was standing at the corner of Barnette and Fourth street talking to "Cheechaco Lou" when I saw him (Bernard) coming down the street swinging a gun. l said to her There comes that crazy Bernard! I'll bet he's going to shoot someone
 "I thought that l would call Wise man, for I'd seen him down on Third | street, so I ran into the row. The 1 first house was locked. so I got into Katie's. He shot me through the

TO MOVE DOWN TOWN
Failure to Provide High School But
lding Demands Make Shift.

Those in charge of the high school
work, and the Board of Education
are making arrangements to move
three divisions of the school work
into the down town district. Thus
they will relieve the crowded condi
lions at the high school building. Ar
rangements are not complete as yet
for the room, but it will be centrally
located and easy of access.
The Physics Laboratory is one OF
the divisions which will be moved
down town, under the direction of Mr.
Kelley.
The Commercial department will
be moved, under the direction of Mrs
Parry.
The Senior History department will
also be moved down town and will be
under the direction of Miss Dobyns.
Attention of the pupils is called to
the fact that a course in Agriculture
has been offered as an elective course
in the first year in high school. The
course will be continued throughout
the entire four years course If a class
of twelve take up the course. The
work will be under the direction OF
a man especially prepared to teach
this subject and 1t will be great
thing for the school as well as fol
the pupils who wish to take advan
tage of the opportunity.

the intersection of East High avenue
and North Second street on Saturday
afternoon, when an automobile driv-
en- by Mr.. Taylor of Rose Hill struck
her as she was crossing the street.
Miss Peters did not see the car, and
for some reason the horn on the car
failed to work, and the driver was
unable 20 give out any signal OF his
approach He was upon her before
she saw the car and was thrown to
the pavement and pushed several
feet on the bricks. While not ser1-
ously hurt she was bruised consid-
erably, her right wrist badly sprained.
and the middle finger of the right
hand is minus the tip piece of flesh.
The car was stopped Immediately,
and the engine was dead, so it was
not being driven at very high rate
of speed. Mr.. Taylor does not know
how he killed the engine, and Miss
Peters is not anxious to know just
how that happened since it prevent.
ed the car passing over her body, and
thus saved her great bodily injury,
and possibly death. In all. it was
a most fortunate accident for all con.
cerned. Medical attention was Civ

BRITISH FLEE BEFORE TURKS

Gonstantinople, Aug. 2S.-The war
Office gave out the following official re-
port covering war operations:
"After an engagement between hos

tachments about 10 miles east of Suez,
the enemy (British) fed. A hostile
aeroplane mistakingIy fired upon its
own troops for a quarter of an hour
with machine guns.
"On the Caucasus front we repulsed

enemy, despite threefold superiority,
was forced to. retreat before the re-
sistance Of our troops. We captured
prisoners"

uncover some more, he combed the
bottom of the river within quite a ra-
dius, but was unsuccessful.
We measured the teeth, and found
them to be, en- bloc, about nine by five
inches, and weighing close to five
pounds-and even at that the roots OF
the teeth were entirely decayed and
crumbled away. We should esti-
mate that a mouthful of such teeth
would take a jawbone at least five
feet long, and likely more, depending
largely upon the nature of the animal
which used them. What kind of a
prehistoric monster used a set of
teeth like that? 1t could have chew.
ed up elephants with as much facility
as We would eat quail.
1t is said that more ancient bones
have been uncovered in Iowa than in
any other state in the union, but it is
our misfortune to find them scattered
so widely as to make it next to i'm.
possible to determine accurately or
with any degree of satisfaction just
what kind of monsters roamed our
plains and valleys in the miocene and
eocene ages.

UNION BARS VIOLENCE
NOTICE GOVERNING CONDUCT IN
EVENT or STRIKE.
All Forms of Disorder or outIawry
Forbidden Says Order issued by
Brotherhood Chiefs.

Washington, Aug. 29.--The secret
instructions to members OF the rail-
way brotherhoods governing their con-
duct In event of a strike are in part
as follows: " s.,..
No man in road service involved in
the strike will perform any service
after the hour set to strike unless he
has already begun a trip and has
actually left the terminal. If the train
has left the terminal he will complete
the trip and deliver the engine and
train at the end of the run, after which
he will perform no further service I'M
til the close Of the strike. Men in other
than road service will leave the serv-
Ice at the appointed time.
All men ON strike will keep away
from the cOmpany's property, except
such men as are designated certain
duties to be performed by authority
of the organizations.
Every man should understand that
the laws of the land must be obeyed.
Acts of violence of any nature will not
be tolerated by the organizations.
The local representatives will ar
range for a hall for meeting purposes
at all terminals, using one of their own
lodge rooms, If available. Immediate
ly after the strike becomes effective
all men will assemble at the hall Sc
cured for meeting purposes. When
thus assembled an organization will be
perfected by the election of a chair
man, vice-chairman and secretary.
In the conduct Of every strike there
are numerous irresponsible persons,
not members of the organization, who
take occasion to engage In acts of vio-
lence and disOrderly conduct, and such
actions are usually attributed to MEM
bers of the organizations. Great care
should be taken by every member of
the organizations to avoid associating
with such persons and such conduct
should be discouraged as not to cast
reproach on the cause.
