STAMPEDE ON
 TO 0PHIR OK.

For the past few days men have been quietly leaving town. ostensibly for Chatanika. Two auto loads left Monday for the same piace On in- quiry it was divulged that stam- pede was on to the old Ophir creek diggings. Besides those leaving Fairbanks there were many who left Chatanika earlier in the week to stake ground.
 Ophir creek heads up on the other side of the Chatanika divide oppo- site the head of Poker creek. It had been prospected several years ago. but has alwaps been consid- cred as not being worth working. The scene of the new strike is said to be about three miles below old discovery and is on the benches in stead of in the creek, where the for mer prospecting was being done. The results and the values of the new find will not be known to certainty until some reliable stalker returns.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY
BERRY PICKING
 IS ALL THE GO

The thrifty housewives of Fair. banks are availing themselves of the opportunity to replenish the stock of good things to eat during the winter months by taking advantage of the good weather and putting in several hours each day picking the luscious blueberry for preserving.
 Each day sees large loads of wo- men, boys and girls going to their favorite places to fill their pails with the wild products of the coun- try. The season for the blueberry for jelly making will soon be over, as the fruit will soon be in an ad- vanced ripened condition and fit for the making of jam only. In addi- tion to the blueberry the delicious raspberry and high bush cranberry are now ready for picking, and soon the jelly jars will be called into use

POTATO CROPS
 TO BE LARGE

From all reports the potato crop this year will be an exceptional one. From all sources where the tuber is being raised it is stated that the crops have never been so promising as this year, despite the nipping frost several weeks ago.
 In nearly every yard in Fairbanks can be seen the blooming vine. Ev- cry householder that had foot of spare ground planted whatever space the ground would permit to pota- toes. The farmers have planted more this year than previously and the local crop will be heavy, which will require less to be shipped in from the Outside for local consumption.

BRIEFS
 FROM NENANA

NENANA, Aug. 7.-The steamer Panama, which left for down stream to meet the upcoming Yukon, has not reported in sight yet. It was expected that the boat would only be gone few hours. It is prob able that the Yukon is delayed some what and that the Panama was com- pelled to go further down than was expected.
 The outlook for the proposed eX- cursiOn to Fort Gibbon is rather discouraging. It is required that 50 people engage passage for the trip. So far but few from Nenana have expressed the intention of going.
 The Ledgerwood unloading outfit went out of commission today and the unloading crew had to be laid off until the machine can be fixed up. It will probably be put baci. in commission tomorrow.
 The frame for the roundhouse is going up rapidly. Within the next few days the housing in of the building will be commenced, and it is expected that within short time the engines will be able to shelter.
 The hill opposite town is D. o,om- ing popular place for picnic ,;r- ties these days. The mosquito p." | has died out considerably and t.,. people of the town are availing them selves of the good weather to take a few outings.
 The work of the foundation for the new building for Wm. Rodigkeit is nearly completed. The new struc- ture will be 70x35 on the ground floor with an upper story 24x25. When completed the town will have one of the finest restaurants in the north
 Work on the waterfront to repair the damage caused by the breakup will be commenced soon. New piling will be driven and the riprapping replaced. It is the intention to make the new work so strong that it will not be affected by the hardest kind of a breakup
 For the convenience of the gravel crews a new camp has been estab- lished at Clear creek. This brings them closer to their work and the men will be able to respond to any emergency call.
 Barney Barnett arrived from Fair banks today. He has been spending some time at the Cinema Hot Springs and is. greatly improved by his trip. He has assumed his former position at Coghill's emporium.
 For the benefit of the French or phan fund big ball is being plan ned to take place in the near future. George Slater is working hard in the interests of the affair and all the musicians in town have expressed willingness to donate their services. The largest hall in town will be se- cured, as one of the largest crowds ever assembled on dancing floor in Nenana is expected.
