the banner year here if nothing is found more. The creek will produce about S5OO,- GOO this coming summer (S27O00O last summer), and will employ about two hun dred men and no more than two hundred and fifty under most favorable conditions for mining The claims to be worked are No. below, discovery, No, l above, No. ? above, No. 3 above and No. 4 above.
 There is also known pay upon No. , above and Mo- below; neither of them will be worked this summer By the way No. , above was worked before the freeze-up last fell and some money taken out-about $50 to the square foot-but its owners forgot to record the assessment work, so a party staked it on April l.
 No. above is the last claim on the creek, and pretty well up the hill so YOU can figure out the water problem (no water shcd).
 No. ? below is deep ground and hard to work It takes very long drain, and then they have TO tailing room, while it Is a little tco light to stope.
 From No. below there is no known pay, a few holes to bedrock and a whole lot not to bedrock, on account of water which may make good dredging proposi ton.
 "The paystreak is hard to work; the pick ing and shovelng is very hard; muck or clay and rocks, with rough uneven bed rock The pay runs from Sl to S5 a square foot, and Is from fifteen to a hundred feet wide
 We have two towns here. One, Fortuna Ledge, which is cid Marshall and Jungle town, or Willow Creek, which Is close to the diggings, about half mile, Fortuna Ledge is on the river and Jungletown is about nine miles southeast as the crow flies but in the summer by way of a slough (by boat to the landing 1t is eleven miles. and from the landing to Willow it is about three miles The freight from Fortuna to Willow in winter is S30 and in the sum mer $40 a ton.
 There are two stores at Fortuna Ledge and two at Wllow-that IS, general stores; Porter, formerly A. E. Edwards, and Delbar X Betsch at Fortuna and Porter X Shields at Willow creek Porter is from 1diterod and was partner of Dan Crowley. Grub is not very high, considering freighting, and there seems to be plenty of everything here until the boats come in in the spring
 "In the lest few weeks quite number of men have come from up river, and many more are expected, as this camp received some boosting up the river. There are enough men here now to fill all the jobs this summer"

NEWSPAPERS OF FAIRBANKS
 ASK REDUCTION OF TOLLS

The following telegram, signed by the Fairbanks Citizen and News Miner, was dis, patched on April to the officer in charge of the Alaska telegraph and cable system at Seattle:
 'When war broke out Canada reduced the press tolls one-half. Please call the at tention of the chief signal officer to this fact and to the fact that the war spirit in Alaska is headed by the newspapers; that an increased telegraph service is advisable and necessary to Alaska papers now; that the tolls are already too high for Alaska papers, and that they cannot stand the strain of endeavor to get full war news
 Believing that Alaskans generally are en- titled to more news, and that it will stir their patriotism to greater depths to have all the news, the newspapers of Fairbanks are securing the assistance of the Conner cial Club and believe that other papers in the territory should take action, and at once

.GREC|AN UPHEAVAL NOW
DESIGNATED REVOLUTION
Stirring Events of Last Few Months
Change Political System as Much
as Those in Russia.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
ATHENS, September 3O.-The up
heayal in public affairs which Greece
has passed through in the last few
months is now officially designated as
the revolution" and it will doubtless
go down in the records of the European
war as the Greek revolution OF 1917.
Premier Nenizelos gave an indication
of this In repeatedly referring to "the
revolution" in his address to parlia-
ment
While il has been a peaceful and
Greeks 1t has revolutionized their po-
litical system almost as much as the
Russian upheaval has affected the Rus
slams.
The abdication of King Constantine
and the crown prince on an ultimatum
of the protecting powers. France, Eng
land and Russia. backed by a military
and naval demonstration: the setting
up of new king and the recall of
Nenizelos TO direct the central govern
ment at Athens after he had set up a
separate provisional government at
SaloHiki: the complete reversal of poll
cy toward the European war by Greece
joining the entente allies: and. finally.
the complete disappearance of royaIist
control of public affairs and the re-
establishment of a government based
on the control by responsible cabinet
miniSters-these summarize some of
the outstanding features of what is
now designated as the Greek revolu-
ton

POLICEMEN RALLY TO LOAN.
Disbursing Officer Makes Advances
and Fines Are Converted.

Many members of the police and fire
departments are responding to sug-
gestions that they show their patriot
ism in the purchase of liberty bonds.
and the disbursing officer is advancing
prospective purchasers S. or $40. ac-
cording to the amount of purchase
they intend to make. 1t is believed
that most of the members of both de-
partments will have their names on
the list of bond purchasers
In assisting in the purchase of bonds
by advancing cash to the members Of
the police department the Commits
sioners have made orders in two in
stances which will relieve policemen
of the payment of fines imposed for
infractions Of the regulations. 1t is
said the order was made on represen-
tation that the money was wanted for
use in the purchase of bonds.
One of the two policemen had been
fined $50 and the other $40. Instead
of paying the money into the District
fund it will be used to assist the war
fund. and incidentally to assist fami-
lies of offending policemen. 1t is
stated that there is no member of the
fire department against whom there is
an unpaid fine recorded.

The parliamentary session now go
ing on is defining what the revolution
has accomplished. This is being done
by the presentation of the diplomatic
negotiations through all the troubled
period, with notable speeches by Ven
izeloS and the minister of foreign af-
fairs on the chief points of accusa-
ton against the government. which
was compelled to abdicate, Foremost
in this accusation is the desertion by

regard of the erbo-Greecian treaty.

points. in accordance with an under
standing with the German authorities.
according TO the charge of NJ. Nenizelos
and NJ. Politis.
The parliamentary discussion is soon
to be followed by a lively campaign
all over the country TO secure united
approval for general mobilization.
Among the peasant classes there is
said to be much apathy over getting
into the war. and the speeches OF Vent
zelos are considered as a supreme ap-
peal to the nation to accept the re-
suits of the revolution and to do It's
part in prosecuting the war as one of
the entente allies. 1t is one of the
peculiarities of the war that. although
