PRISONERS ARE
 ON THEIR WAY

The movements of two prisoners toward the federal jail is being re- tarded somewhat by the approach of the freeze-up. Deputy Marshal Spencer, of Circle, who is on his way here with George Mellich, re- ports that he was compelled to aban- don the trip from Panama to here by the river on account of the run of ice from the Kantishna river, which is very heavy. It was the intention of Spencer to come here in the mail launch. Owing to the ice he had to leave the launch at Hot Springs and will come by the trail with the pack train carrying the mail.
 From Eagle Deputy Powers reports that he is coming with Cole A. Nc Dougal, who was taken into custody on warrant from Ruby. Powers will come down river as far as Circle with his charge and make the over- land trip to Fairbanks from that place. The Yukon is not running much ice, but the chances are too great to take on the long, round about river route.

MUCH TIN ORE
 WAS RECOVERED

The value of the tin ore found in some of the placer deposits has proven to be source of revenue that in former years was considered not worth saving. Lately those whose claims carry deposit of this valuable metal ore have saved it as a by-product of their claims
 In the Hot Springs district there was recovered about 50 tons of tin ore from the placer claims, which has been shipped Outside. From the large quantity of ore recovered it is thought that ledge of this mineral exists in the hills around the head of Sullivan creek and determined effort will soon be made by those interested to try and locate the ledge.

John Driscoll took passage on an outgoing auto yesterday for the states to be in attendance at his brothers bedside. Although having received word that he was on the road to recovery John believes that his place is with one of the two brothers he has living.
 Perhaps no family name in the interior has contributed more heavily to the present war than has that of Driscoll. Three brothers of this family have given their lives in the cause of democracy. the fourth is lying with a serious illness at the army cantonment at Camp Lewis and the fifth is now on his way Out side to offer his services if he can pass the physical examination.

 The list of pensioners is not a very lengthy one, about 22 persons. both men and women. being listed for the benefit of the pension. While the amounts are not large they go a long way to assist those whom age has deprived of the means of making livelihood.

Unique Advertising
Results In w. S. S.

Patriotism is beginning to run high
among many Ashland women, who,
although they have been actively
engaged in all the war work desig-
mated to them, have not been giving
much publicity to the many little sac
rifices made in the homes and their
private lives. Occasionally secret
leaks out which shows that Ashland
women are not behind in their eff
forts to help their country in the gi-
gantic struggle in which she is en-
gagged.
One patriotic woman has been do
ing her bit to help swell the war
cychequer in the matter of savings
stamps. On stump in front or her
home she has placed neat little sign
stating that fresh eggs and cherries
are on sale within. This has been a
great attraction to tourists passing
throuh, many of whom while on a
camping expedition has gladly avail
ed themselves of this opportunity to
provide these luxuries for their menu.
From the proceeds of these sales
this enterprising American woman
has been able to purchase eight war
savings stamps. Every penny secur-
cd in this manner goes to the pur-
chase of these stamps, and the fund
is still growing.
