Few Registering
 For City Election

It's time to register for the next city election. Which means that the registration books at the city hall are now open and, although it is long time before they will be closed, the city officials will be glad to see everybody register as early as possible. The reason is that it is desired that Fairbanks maintain her reputation of having the largest number of voters of any incorporat- ed town in Alaska.
 The chief reason, however, that registering is urged at the present time Is that many of the voters are away from town and might not get here again in time to register be- fore election. Particularly is this fact true as regards the Tolovana country as many Fairbanks people maintaining homes here are now in the new camp,

 There have been stampedes to this creek in previous years, but it is believed that owing to a misunder- standing of the topography of the country, none of the participants in the previous stampedes ever reached HoJ sefly creek. There ap- pears to have been an impression that Horseiiy was a tributary of First Chance creek, whereas it flows directly into the Iditarod.
 Dawson stated that he banned dirt from the discovery claim and found coarse gold, ranging in size from a few cents up to one nugget which weighed in the neighborhood of 30 cents. Some pans revealed no colors, however. While not ad- vising a rush to the new district, he states that it is a mostly likely looking neighborhood. The forma- tion, which k a most important fac tor in the eyes of mining men. Is porphyry and granite. There is lots of quartz and some schist. There is also little sandstone, which is not looked upon so favorably.
 The topography Is somewhat simi- lar to that of Flat creek. The bluffs at the head of the creek have not been prospected. Other pups in the same neighborhood are being staked and there have been quite a number of bench locations
 On Horsefly creek itself the indi- cations also are good, although but two holes were known to have been
