To Test Wood
Pavement.

fiat stones. and search was being made
for durable smooth pavement. In The
Star of August 3, 1867. is the following
on the subject of the then new wooden,
or Nicholson. pavement. which later was
tried here:
ut has been proposed to test the
Nicholson wood pavement in this city
and Mr.. Elgans lately introduced bill
in the board of aldermen proposing to
lay it down on NJ street north. In Chi
cago, where 1t has been in use for some
time. it seems to give satisfaction. The
only objection to it's use here would
probably be its cost, which. we learn. is
three or four times that of blue rock
The Pittsburgh street committee, who
have recently returned from the west
where they have been on a tour of in
spection of the Nicholson pavement
have made a report to the city council
in which they strongly recommend its
adoption. A resolution was subsequent
ly adopted authorizing the street COM
mittee to grant permission to any par
ties who may desire to lay down
Nicholson pavement at their own ex-
pense: provided that when two continu-
Gus blocks are laid the city shall bear
the expense of paving the intersections,
as is now done in the case of the orig
inal paving of streets"

Site for the
New Jail.


is the following comment on the matter:
We sincerely trust that the statement
made by the Intellgencer that the Sec
rotary of the Interior has selected as
the site for the new jail a position so
near the Capitol and the heart of the
city as the reservation (No. I'D at the
intersection of New Jersey and Vir-
ginia avenues is incorrect. more
manifestly unfit position could not well
be found. and we hope the Secretary
will be induced to reconsider his pur-
pose If he really has selected this point
AS we have said heretofore. the reason
urged for removing the jail from its
present site was that it's presence in the
central and growing portion of the city
was most injurious to the prosperity
and business interests of all that part
of Washington. For years it has been
urged that it should be removed to
some suburban locality, where it could
not interfere with the prosperity and
growing interests of any interior por-
tion Of the city. 1t was not supposed
possible. however. by single individual
in this community. we are quite certain.
that when it was removed it would be
dumped down near the heart of the city
again. within stones throw of the
Capitol and where it's presence will
serve to blast the growth and pros
perity of that neighborhood, as it has
that of the neighborhood where it is
now felt to be such an intolerable
nuisance"

lack of efficiency may be reflected in
the poor prices he receives for his prod

Sooner or later. it is argued. the

it's way to the cities for distributions
and, whether it passes from the owner
ship of the farmer before or after
reaching such centers. the sales are
usually based on city quoted prices.
Many farm products, especially per-
ishables, are consigned to city commits

will bring. the prices received in such
cases being directly dependent on their
city market value. Prices based on
these values are paid also when such

People who are planning to go to Tolstoi on the strength of glowing re- ports printed here and at Anchorage concerning that district are advised to read the following comment by the Iditarod Pioneer, which devotes over half a page in its issue of February 10. to discussing that camp.
 After reprinting the interview here with J. F.. Riley, and an editorial from the Anchorage Times of January G. on Tolstoi's richness, the Pioneer says of Raey's interview and ten ounce nuggets:
 The incident of the ten-ounce mug get is particularly misleading. The history of this nugget is so well known here that it is considered like ly that Riley must have been in joking humor when he allowed the newSpa- per man to infer that it came from the Tolstoi. The statement that .TolStoi looks like a winner will not be contested. nor the further state ment that it is the most promising looking find and since the Iditarod.' But the assertions like pay dirt has been located over an area ten miles long is so misleading that it is mis- chievOus."
 In conclusion the Pioneer prints the following under the heading "Ac- tual Conditions"
 Boob creek-On Mo- ? below dis covery. owned by Ira Van Orsdal there is good pay The Emmet Frac- tion. owned by Riley X Moumer, cor- tains pay which will run probably S2 to the foot. and the paystreak Is sixty-fve feet wide, or possibly even more.

No. 8 has good prospects, AL together there is about mile of pay on this creek
 Mastodon creek-No pay has de veloped. There are, however, good prospects on discovery claim and on No. 1 above. On Wilson creek which is a tributary of Mastodon, there are good prospects also.
