BOYS STORY 0F DEAD MAN
 PROVES TRUE
BODY OF J. L. FLYNN FOUND MAN HAD BEEN DEAD
 SEVERAL WEEKS.

That the young boys who claimed to have discovered the body of a dead man in cabin about five miles from Fairbanks on Clear creek as reported first last Monday in The Citizen. were not in error in their claims, was proven by a trip made to the place last Monday night by Deputy Marshal George Berg and Tom Dundon For they discovered the remains of man who had evidently been dead for several weeks, and the body has since been identified as that of ] L. Flynn
 The body was brought to town on Tuesday and an inquest helI on Wednesday. The inquest devel oped the fact that Flynn had been subject to attacks of paralysis and it is therefore supposed that he Succumbed to that disease
 Tom Dundon found the body first, naNlng seen IL through the window in the cabin more than a week prior to the time that it was found by the boys. It did not occur to him, however, that the man might be dead as he visited that locality several times afterward, never think ing to look into the window again. Not until the boys reported the dis covery did he happen to remember having seen the man through the window and 1t was upon his report that the marsha's office investigat- ed the reported dead man
 Flynn had been a resident of th., north since early Dawson days, and had been here about ten years He was born in Lynn, Mass, and was between 55 and 50 years of age His remains have been taken charge of by the government.

TO MAKE SkAGWAY AN
 ACTIVE MINING CENTER

A group of sixty Skagway citizens have organized themselves into a company called the Skagway Devel- opment association for the purpose of testing some of the mining pros poets close to Skagway which have been passed up in former years by miners rushing past to secure d portion of the supposedly greater wealth of the regions further on
 The first properties upon which work will be done by the association are two groups of claims owned by w. J. Bledsoe, near Reed falls.
 The first tunnel, bids for driving of which have been called for. will be driven into the mountain a few feet above the railroad track where the dike crosses the valley and the outcropping of ore is large enough to convince the members of the as sociation that 1t is worthy of thor ough investigation.
 Workmen are already busy blow ing off the face of the ledge pre- paratory to the starting of the tun nel, and clearing a space for the dump, and if satisfactory bids are received the contract for digging the first twenty-five feet feet of the tunnel will be let.
 The ore is almost identical in character with that of the great mines at Juneau and Douglas and surface assays indicate that t is slightly richer.
 The organizers of the association feel that great profits are certain if the body of ore found is extensive enough to warrant the installing Of stamp mills of sufficient capacity to work ore of this character pronta- bly,

ORIGIN OF GOLD AND SILVER.
 Steamboat Springs, Ney., has fig ured prominently in discussions of the origin of ore deposits. The wa ters of these springs contain the precious metals in minute quantj- ties. and the sinter deposited bT them contains several minerals thaJ are common constituents of ores, as well as small quantities of many Ct the rarer metallic constituents of ore deposits, including gold and silver Such springs, therefore, su2- gest that many and perhaps most ore-bearing veins have been formed by hot waters rising from great depths, which have brought their metal contents up in solution and Assures in the rocks through which the water passed, the deposition of some ores being influenced by chenl- cal reaction with the surrounding rock. Many ole deposits are 1H
 doubtedly formed in other ways, for some are mquestionably of sedi !nentary origin and the metal con tent of some others has been car
 ried down, deposited and concen- trated by rain water that descend
 ed into the crust of the earth, but the "hydrothemal' origin-that ls, their deposition from ascending hot water-of many of the more valu- able ore deposits is indicated by the close relation observed at many places between mineral veins and eruptive rocks. Thermal waters are believed to be in part at least, given off by slowly cooling and solidifying masses of igneous rock
 (magma) deep within the earth.

airbanksans Would
 Get Army Post Here

There is a movement on foot ll Fairbanks to have an army post here. Which means that 1t is the idea of a number of the business men of Fairbanks to have the post moved to this city from Panama. The reason given is the seriousness of the fire which visited the post last winter, as it is considered that a new post could be established here almost as cheaply as new barracks can be built at Fort Gibbon.
 A number of other arguments for a change in the location of the post are also advanced And in furtherance of the plan a wire has been sent to Delegate W1ckersham It is signed by the mayor and number of the business houses. The wire is as follows:

Natural location, plenty maneuvering space, roads, surround ings, attractiveness, comforts, enter tainment soldiers. Supplies can be delivered to posts from here cheap CT than from Gibbon. Should call come for troops they can reach coast several days quicker from here either before or after railroad is built Relieve officers Gibbon post will recommend change
 In reply to the above Delegate Wickersham wired that the telegram had been presented to the secretary of war. He also stated that he would, at his earliest opportunity, call on the secretary for the pur- pose of exhibiting maps and pre- senting the advantages of Fairbanks,
