 Richardson, Nov. 22.


 Richardson, Nov 22. Cittz n, Fairb nks.
 "ChishJln's rcadhouse at Birch lake, and it's contents, were burned today. Unable to get further par tculars."
 The foregoing telegram was re ceived by The Citz- n last night ftJm it's R.chardson correspondent It means that the Birch Lake road use, situated on the summer tail from Faii bank to the coa@t, and sixty miles from Fairbanks, is a to tai ruin.
 The fire, it is understood f.o, her information received here by wire, was discovered by Operat Dr Johns, of the Richardson sign, corps station. He vas Cn his way from SGlcha to Richardson at thC time. He passed Tirch lake at o'clock yesterday afternoon and con t,nucd on to Richardson He re ports that the ruins were too hot for him to make an examination Of them. His report i5 to the effect that the main building is total less.
 Johns made a thorough search Of the outbuildings and grounds about the snok' ng ru.n ns in an effort to locate either one or both of the owners of the place, Messrs. Chis holm and Simmonds, but the prem ises seemed to be absolutely desert ed. Fears are therefore being felt for the men, as it is thought that they might possibly have been burn ed to death in the fire. It is thought more probable, however, that they had gone across to Little Delta which is about three miles from Birch Lake.

DEATH CAME AS A
 GREAT SURPRISE
Associated PreSS)

SANTA ROSA, Cal. Nov. 22- Jack London, the noted novelist. died here today of uremic poisoning. His death came as great surprise, a his fatal illness was of comparatively short duration. He was found rig q and unconscious this morning in bed by servant. During the day he showed signs of recovery, and it was believed that he would pull through but he suffered relapse tonight, resulting in h.s death.
 London was one of the most wide ly known novelists in the United States. He had visited practically every part of the globe, and was therefore intimate with the cnarac- teristics of the inhabitants of near ly every country in the world
 Born in San Francisco in 1876, London attended the schools of that city as a youth and later entered the University of California, He quit school, however, to go on the ia nous gold stampede on the Klondike river in Yukon territory. And most of his earlier writings pertain to happenings during his residence in Yukon territory and n Alaaka.
 London first started trayeling early in life For in 1892, or before he start to college, he sh pped as IL ailor before the mast. L.ter he became veritable tramp making trips through the United States ,na Canada, stopping occasionally wh Il in need of money, to work on some country newspaper for a while. These periOdica trips were for th- purpose of studying sociological and econ omical subjects.
 It was during late years, however, that London did most of his travel ing. He was always searching for material for his well known stot|e :. and every trip he made yielded eithec one big story or a series of small ones. Lately he had written but few books, as he was devoting must of his time to magazine articles. He acted in the capacity of war core spondent during the Russo-Japancse

 HIS CERTIFICATE

Yesterday the local register of pub lie lands issued a final certificate on the homestead of Mrs. Stacia Rickert. It is thought that there will be no further difficulty in getting patent to the land. as that usually follows the delivery of the final cer tificate. However, it will be a mat ter of several months before the patent arrives from Washington.
 This homestead is just on the out skirts of Fairbanks and makes up what is known as the Fairbanks tract. and it is one of the best known

LEAVES FAMILY.

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Nov 22 Jack London, the novelist, who died tonight, leaves a family composed of his wife and their daughter. Hi sister also survives him The inter ment of the body will probably take place here.
 The news of the death of Jack London will be read with regret by many old sourdoughs living in the vicinity of Fairbanks. For most of them were intimately acquainted with him. He was well known in Dawson in early days, and at most points down the river as far as St. Michael and Nome.
 Like Rex Beach, Robert w. Ser vice and a few other writers, Lon don did his part toward perpetual ing the history of the early day Al askan mining camps. Most of the scenes in his stories are laid at Circle and Dawson. One of h.s subjects, the chief character in the novel Burning Daylight" Elam liar nish, is now a resident of Fairbanks. He is at present logging up the Cinema river.
