SLEEK PROPOSITION

There are times when oil is used to suu troubled waters, but when water is dcportiug itself alright, as was the case with that of Gastineau Channel previous to Saturday night, it is too bad that its surface should be smcarcd up as was done through the collapsiug of the tank at Tread well when the earth at that place retired suddenly and since which time everything touched by the water has been smeared by oil. How ever about the only inconvenience it is causing is to make people ex- crcise care in getting on and off ferry boats when they are liable to touch the piling that support the floats. It will also enliven the soap market SO far as employees of the James sawmill are concerned as the logs in the bay are very much oiled, causing them to be sleek propositions Co handle.

THEIR MONEY
 WHOLLY SAFE
Subjects of Enemy Countries Now in United States Are Fin
 ancially Safe

At the request of President Wilson the president of the Federal Reserve Banking Board has caused the Re- serve Banks throughout the United States to issue a statement to the effect that subjects of foreign coun- tries now at war with the United States, such as subjects now resid- ing in the latter, need have no fear that money they have on deposit in American banks will be confiscated by the Government. The communi- cation sent out thru the Reserve Banks, copies of which have been received here. sets at rest any fears subjects of Germany or other enemy countries may have entertained. The circular is directed to member banks of the Federal Reserve Bank ing System of the Western Division, with headquarters at San Francisco, and reads as follows:
 To Member Banks of Federal Re-
 serve Bank of San Francisco:
 The Department of State on Febru- ory s issued the following state mcnt:
 "It having been reported to him that there is anxiety in some quar- tcrs on the part of persons residing in this country who are subjects of foreign states lest their bank de- posits or other property should be seized in the event of war between thc United States and a foreign ma tiou, the president authorizes the statement that all such fears arc en- trely uufounded. The government of the United States will i'm no cir cumstances take advantage of state Of war to take possession of in which international un- dcrstandings and the recognized law of the land give it no just claim or title. lt will scrupulously respect lu private rights alike of its own citizens and of the subjects Of for 'ign states"
 lt has been suggested by the Fed aral Reserve Board that member banks give wide publicity to the a- bove statement and that wherever It appears advisable it should be printed on placards and posted prom .ncntly.

NEW DISCOVERY
 ON OLD CREEK
Dome Creek Near Fairbanks Found to Carry Rich Values in
 Third Tier

Again is old Dome creek coming to the front. This time she is show ing pay on an old, supposed-to-bc- worked-out claim, discovery. second tier. right limit bench, owned by Luther C. Hess. The discoverers of the reported pay are Chris and Andy Nerland, who have been working on the ground all winter. They have good sized block of ground which will go approximately S2 to the square foot of bedrock, according to William Canning, the well known Dome creek operator
 Discovery. in it's day was one Of old Domc's biggest producers It was thought, however, to be worked out until the recent discovery which was made near the line between the first and second tier benches. If the pay reported to have been found holds out there is no doubt that it will materially increase the output of the old creek this summer, which already bids fair, by reason of other among the streams in the immediate vicinity of Fairbanks.
 The pay which was found a few weeks ago on No 2 below is still holding out, according 10 Mir. Can ming. It goes about $4.5O 10 the square foot Of bedrock In the i'm vicinity of where this pay was discovered other outfits are sinking shafts, but none Of them have yet been put to bedrock.

BETTER THAN NO MEAT

Natives may be seen almost any day on Front street with two or three skinned carcasses of seals on a sled. They look too repulsivc 10 eat, but are nevertheless an im- portant article of Eskimo diet, and some white men who have been com pelled by circumstances to subsist on seal meat say that it is not so bad, being suggestive of pork. There being a scarcity of tom cod, the poor natives are fortunate in catching plenty of seals.-Nomc Mug get.
