The funeral services of Miss Fran ces Van Bibber, the only daughter of MT. and Mrs. A. Van Bibber, who died last week, was held at Eagle hall Sunday afternoon.

 Rev G. G. Bruce, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was a devoted member, con ducted the services, and his remarks were a beautiful tribute to the young lady, and so sympathtic and touch ing that there was hardly an un- moved person in the house when he concluded.
 Special music for the funeral was furnished by the choir of the Pres byterian church. Six of the boy school friends of Miss Van Bibber acted as pallbearers. They were Lyman Knuppe, James Moore. Cliff ford Smith, Clarence Burglin, Rus sell Bellerby and Boyd Herring.
 In addition to these, six of Miss Van Bibber's girl friends acted as honorary pallbearers. They were Misses Muriel Herring, Dorothea John son, Francis Hillary, Geraldine Adams, Ruth Logan and Stella liar ringtOn.
 A large number of Pioneer Women of Alaska attended the ceremonies as mark of respect and sympathy for the mother, who is herself member of the organization.

 STEEL GREEK

If all of his plans turn out right, and he expects they will, Jacob Meters will soon have a stamp mill on his tungsten property at the head of Steel creek He is now making arrangements for the mill, and ex- poets shortly to lay the foundations for it. The mill will be used chiefly to crush the ore coming from a ledge that he and his partners have uncovered this winter. Interested with him in the project are Billy Wallace and Julius Hoffman.
 MT. Wallace and MT Meters have been prospecting on the ground all winter. They first sunk a shaft on the ledge, but were troubled so badly by surface water that they had to handling it. They then started a tunnel, and after running into the hlll Tor distance Of approximately thirty feet they found the ledge again, much better than it showed up at the bottom of their shaft When MT. Meters started for town from the property just prior to the recent cold snap, the ledge had been cut
 
 being nearly pure scheelite in some places.
 MT. Meiers says that he and his partners have nothing big as yet. He hopes and expects, however, to see the property develop into good paying proposition.

PIONEERS HOLD GOOD MEETING:
 MANY PRESENT

The Pioneer meeting held last ev- ening at Eagle hall was one of the best of the past winter. But very little business was introduced at the business session, and as a conse- quence the one hundred and fifty or more of the members who were present were able to enjoy that much more time during the social session which followed the business meeting.
 The meeting wound up with the rendering of rattling good program, one which was greatly enjoyed by the old boys. It consisted of liter ary and musical numbers and was as follows:
 Recitation, Melvin G. Anderson Services The Spell of the Yukon"
 Recitation, F. c. Passy-"Barney OLynn and the Leeches."
 Recitation, Fred Crewe-"Twenty Years in Alaska
 Story-E. A. Herring.
 Story-George Kenny.
 Recitation-"The Hell of the Yu- kon"-Harry Henshaw.
 Recitation-"The Parsons Son. George Herring
 Humorous Skit-Fred A. Douse.
 English and Swedish songs-Dave Petree and Albert Bell.
 Dan Bandman presided at the piano.
 Two new members were admitted at the meeting last night. They were Albert J. Stone and E. M. Kin caid.
 Delegates to the next session of the grand igloo which is to be held at Juneau on the fourth Monday in March, will be elected at the next meeting of the local igloo, or on Monday, February 19. The question of raising the time limit for new members by amending the constitu- tion so that pioneers who arrived in Alaska subsequent to Jan. l, 1901, may be admitted, will be discussed.
 The Pioneers are enthusiastic over the dance which is to be given by the Pioneer Women on the evening of February 22 Considerable boost ing was done for the dance by number of the oldtimers at the meet ing last night.
 At the conclusion of the program the usual refreshments, both liquid and solid, were served to the mem bers present, after which the old timers reluctantly dispersed to meet again two weeks from tonight.

She was well known and respected at Chatanika and Cleary creeks, where she had resided with her husband since coming to the Fairbanks dis trict in 1905.

TOZlER,S STATEMENT.

Il am anxious to learn the grounds on which the reversal was taken and new trial ordered, for 1t means everything to the defense," said At torney Tozier last night Many points were involved In the case last spring which justified reversal, any one of which would have caused the circuit court to remand the case here for new trial The indict ment, in my opinion, was insufii- cient, in that it failed to prove that crime was committed, and If 80, at what time it was committed. If the case was reversed by reason of the fact that the indictment was faulty, Callahan will have to be re- indicted I had this matter of the indictment brought to the attention of the circuit court, as well as a number of points involving the ad mission of testimony adduced by the government
