The Fairy Queen Arose First.

Giant. They did not look angry in
the least.
"The Fairy Queen arose first.l
Little creatures of the woods and
of Fairyland,' she said, we made the
Ounce caps to fill you with the fear Of
how dreadful 1t would be to have to
wear one. I am thinkful to say that
no one will have to wear a Ounce cap.
Some have made mistakes, but know
they are sorry for them and that this
next year We VIII have far finer
record
"Oh, how glad the little creatures
were that none Of them would have
to wear Ounce caps Eut they had
been taught a lesson--the lesson
which told them how they would feel
il ever they vert really mean or bad.
'srhen Witty Witch spoke. we want
to remember all the things we wish
we hadn't done this past year, and we
don't want to do them again--for If
we do--dear me. there will have to be
more Ounce caps made. But now we
are going to use them for bonfire
"sTo welcome in the New Year. said
old Mr.. Giant, we will have bonfire
of the Ounce caps and we will hope
that next year we will have a still
finer set OF marks to read out. Let's
start afreshT And as he said that he
blew his trumpet, read the marks
aloud, and the bonfire of the Ounce
caps suddenly blazed up.

little woodland creatures, and oh, such
good resolutions as they did make
so many fine things they were going
to do. nice little unselfish things. And

 Anyone going in to prospect must have & boiler, as it is frozen except at the heads and will be around 90 to 50 eet deep, according to location on the creek. This granite intrusion extends for 50 miles further to the head of the main Nixon, Noyi, and between the North Fork of the Kuskokwim.
 On the Kuskok vim side of this gran ite there are several creeks, but no prospecting has been done up to this time.
 Everyone thought this lime belt was a dyke and after going into it three or four miles turned back, although they could see granite wash in the creek beds. It is eight miles into the gran ite. Tho steamer Tana can land on tho Kuskokwim eight miles from Discovery on Hidden creek. At present Hidden is staked to l4-b., Ruby to 8, and Mys- tory to !, while all the pups are staked, and some benches on Hidden and Ruby.
