WHITE LAUNCH
 IN DIFFICULTY

While proceeding down the Tanana on it's way to Brooks, the launch Carl White had the misfortune to sustain break in the machinery necessitating the shutting off of the engine. While the engine was not running the wind. which was blow. ing rather stiffly, blew the craft on the Twelve-mile bar hard and fast where it remained until the launch Victory came into view. An effort was made by the Victory to release the boat from it's position, but with. out avail.
 On reaching Cinema Captain Douse phoned to town for the DeYoung launch to go to the aid of the strand. ed craft and it's passengers. The launch left about o'clock with the necessary tackle to get the boat off the bar. Whether the machinery can be repaired sufficiently to allow the trip to be finished is not known, but from the description of the break it is thought that the craft may be laid off the run for the balance of the season.

MINERS SCARCE
 BEEN REPORTED

The labor situation in this district is becoming somewhat acute, and it is now impossible to secure enough men to operate the mines, although good wages are offered. A mining operator from Gold Hill has made several trips to town to secure men for the drift, offering $6 for nine hours, and board, but has not been able to get enough men to operate his mine.
 With the approach of the winter season many men will be going Out. side to spend the inactive season, and not few will remain in Fair banks. It should be 8 matter of business for those who depend upon their labor as a means of livlihood to engage in working the mining in dustries of the interior, but an in- difference seems to prevail among this class of people. It would be well for those who are at present doing nothing to secure employment, for soon the work or fight edict will

NEW DRIVER IS IN
 WORKING ORDER

The new piledriver recently con structed for the city under the super vision of Tom Blaylock was put in operation yesterday driving piles along the waterfront, and it started off without hitch, all parts work ing smoothly.
 It is the intention of the city to repair in the neighborhood of about 1000 feet of the waterfront, starting from the Pioneer dock and working down stream. One row of piles only will be driven, but they will be placed in such manner that they will provide ample protection to the waterfront and the riprapping that will be used as a filler. When the piles and brush have been put in place a large amount of gravel will be placed on top of the brush and the piles tied together with caps, in surfing a better waterfront than the town has had for years.

FISH OK. MAN

Among those to arrive in town yesterday was Dan McRea, who is operating on Fish creek. McRea and his partners are operating by the opencut method and have crew of about ten men employed.
 The outlook for the year will be about as usual, as the dirt is holding out we'll and the values have not de creased. No other operators are in that section at the present time. and aside from a few prospectors the district is somewhat depopulated. Af- ter transacting some necessary busi- ness McRea will return to the scene of his operations.

ORPHANS FUND
 HAS DONE WELL

The final donation to the orphan fund for August was turned in yes terday, bringing the total up to suf- ficient to provide for ten orphans for a year, which is about the regu- lar monthly average. For the past four months the fund has mounted to goodly proportions, and those who have the fund in charge are very grateful to those who have made such excellent returns possible.
 It is seldom that fund of any kind meets with a continued re- sponse on the part of the public but the orphan fund is an exception al one and we'll merits all that can be done for it. The standing of the fund for the month of August is as follows:

RUNAWAY MADE THINGS LIVELY
 FOR A WHILE

Shortly before o'clock last even- ing bystanders on Front street and Cushman were treated to a first class runaway when the big sorrel horse driven by I. Overgaard came laundering across the bridge from Garden Island. MT. Overgaard had stopped the animal near the old as- say office on Garden Island and was just going to get out of the wagon when the animal evidently made up his mind to go home and started off. All efforts to stop him proved un- availing, and the harder the reins were pulled the faster the horse ran A large iron pot and a cross-cut saw which were lying in the wagon were rattling at good rate, and to this accompaniment the horse was stepping off the distance at good clip.
 In attempting to turn the down. stream corner off the bridge approach a misculculation on the drivers part caused the wheels to hit the guard rail, tilting the wagon and precipitat- ing both occupants to the ground. That is, they finally hit, for both of them went up in the air for some few feet. The wagon, skidding around, narrowly missed MT. Overgaard and capsized, turning half over and throwing the horse to the ground, in which position he was held by ore of the bystanders until unhitched. It was a miracle that neither MT. Over gaard nor the other occupant were seriously injured. for the falls they had were hard ones, and only the speed of the horse kept the wagon from falling on them.
