No. he did not And therefore tie Fairbanks man has the Toloyana miner to thark for an honesty ot purpose. even though it does leave the latter in an almost destitute coHaltjon d. lar as finances for flu ture mining operations are corc.4" ed
 In fact it wouldn't b. a h-d scheme If somebody would 4ruo stake that miner to the uune c4 about $500 Particularly is this true in view of the fact that L.. ta men w,re once outa;-tny.eibows pros pcct,rs together.
 Politics According to .ntormo Brewing tion recently received II at Brooks. t'airbanks Iom BruoAs. there is already Gui little do.ns of political nature in the new mining camp n Democrats of the community s"en to De pretty well lined up under Commissioner IL J. Atwell but tn, re is considerabI. factional fighting iG the Republican ranks, according to all reports.
 And they really to things in the night time over at Brooks, ii thc report reaching Fairbanks can De believed. For one night not lone ago four of the men styling them selves Republicans, Lied themselves to a cabin and held, or tried to hold a so called "rump' convention tJ the purpose of nominating delegate to the Republican territorial con vention. Whether or not they sue ceeded in accomplishing their pu pose is not stated. but it iS a know fact that the other faction of Re publicans knew nothing about 1t, a. no notices had been put up con of the four originators of the con yention then stated that notices had been put up, but an investigation developed the fact that what no tices were in evidence (there were only two) huu been posted on tao doors of two of the mercantile es the Toloyana country after the meet ing had been held.

 The Woodbridge jury was locked up for nine days and the jury whicl is sitting on the trial of the lone case bids fair to be locked up for several days yet. The members ot the latter jury have already been ''in the coop" so to speak, since last Thursday and some of then even longer.
 And because they have to serve the government in a judicial cap9 city when called upon to do sc the members of the juries have great deal of their personal libert} curtailed That fact is better ey- emplified by the remark of one member of the Woodbridge jury. who said, Not a drink for niny days! What do you know about that?"
 The monotony of the thing, as far as the Jones jury is concerned. however, was broken last Thurs day night when, with the express permission of Judge Bunnell, the jurymen went to ThOrne's theatre as guests of the management. The jury had not heard any ecidencc. the actual trial of the case not starting until Friday morning. l. was therefore thought that there could be nothing in the pictures which would contaminate the minds of the jurymen and they were allowed to go, upon the special request of two, who, as enthusiastic motion picture fans, rarely ever miss a pie ture.
 And Jury Raliff Sam Kincaid says that he never had such time in his life. For he was kept busy keeping track of one of the young men through put the evening, said young man having inadvertently tried to break loose and converse with every female whom he hap pened to meet.
