AVAKOFF BACK
 FROM TOL0VANA
LOCAL JEWELER RETURNS FROM TRIP TO TOLOVANA-EVERY-
 THING BOOMING.

Big dumps, plenty of water. work for every man in the camp and then some and everybody happy" is the manner in which H. B. Avakoff sum- med up his view of the situation in the Tolovana district upon his arrival in town yesterday. The spirit of the camp is of the finest kind, he said, and it will be a banner year in it's history.
 Good rains, he said. fell before he left, and with almost every operator making cleanups there is lots of money in sight. He visited every creek and finds them all working full crews. There isn't an idle man there who can be got to work and there is work for a number of men who can't be had there.
 Meat and eggs have entirely disap- peared from the markets there. he reports. but supply was expected to arrive shortly. The people, he said. were eating bacon and ham as sub stitutes for beef, but were tiring of that diet and clamoring for real meat.
 There is considerable agitation for a summer trail from Olnes to Brooks as a means of getting cheaper freight into the camp. He says lots of goods now bot from the Outside, and even other markets, would be purchased in Fairbanks if such a trail could be had.
 MT. Avakoff came down the Tolova- na river in a launch which broke down and left him stranded at Tolovana. He considered this hard luck until the Panama came along and to his sur prise he found Mrs. Avakoff and thu "kiddies" aboard. This changed his hard luck into the best fortune he has experienced in many moons, he said.

Y.. and the senior member of the firm from which he made some purchases called on him in New York City to talk over Alaskan mattels Theie are numbers of prominent busi- ness men in the East who are going to visit the North in the near future. according to MT. Fowle, to find out just what opportunities exist here
 He also reports that coast in, rests are looking forward to heavy devel- opment in the interior. It is not i'm probable that parties representing them may visit the section to look into future mining developments fol- lowing the completion of the railroad
 There is no stagnation in business circles Outside. said MT. Fowle. Fac tories are working overtime and arc booking orders way ahead of their output. He bot heavily in some lines. and expects shipments of his purchas- es on every boat. Everything is still high" said Mir.

RUBY OFFICIAL
 IN TOWN GOING
 TO THE STATES

Deputy U. s. Marshal Tom Long, of Ruby, arrived in town yesterday on the steamer Panama and will remain here a few days before going on to the states. He will act as head of a bunch of prisoners and guards who will be sent out in short time.
 MT. Long reports little activity of any kind in his district, altho most of the operators there are getting fairly good results. Two outfits are working on Greensboro and taking out some dust. These are Bowers and Mcclure, and Gertie Sheppard. An. other creek in the district Is also showing some pay but the operators there have been handicapped by a shortage of water.
 Poorman is also quiet, he stated. On lower PoOrman some likely look ing dirt has been uncovered but very little development work has been done. Later this may prove to be an extensive source of revenue.
 He has nothing new on the report ed strike in the Koyukuk district. He had a conversation with Deputy Mar. shal Heppenstall, from the Koyukuk, while at Panama and his report on the supposed strike was about the same as has already been received here. MT. Heppenstall, who proceed. ed from Panama via Dawson for the States, told him that what pay had been struck ran from five to fifteen cents to the pan, 1t being about 20 to 25 feet to bedrock The creek is about 25 miles long, and while the Koyukuk said that 1t looked promis- ing, it is unknown just how much pay dirt has been lined up. Considerable prospecting has been done in the past on the benches of this stream but nothing was found there.
 Deputy Marshal Long stated that every town along the river was ex- tremely quiet. "Nenana," he said, Ire minds me of a small Virginia court town in which no court is in session." Fairbanks looms up like a mountain in comparison to the others.

ALASKA ARTIST
 CREATES GREAT
 SENSATION NOW

Some weeks ago Seward was con siderably stirred up over the visit to the town by man named Rockwell Kent and his son, who had spent d couple of years alone on Fox island in Resurrection bay. He was waiting there for a boat to take him south During the time he was in that town he broke into print several times and gained considerable notoriety.
 It seems that Seward was enter taining an angel unawares. for Kent is an artist who, since he hibernated in Alaska, drew about sixty pictures that created sensation. The art crit ic of the New York Sun says that the pictures are "the most interesting event from an American point of view this year." The drawings are all of a weird style and show the melancholy nature of the artist.
 The odd thing about the career of MT. Kent is that as an artist he was a failure and becoming disgusted with the world retired to a lonely island where he lived the life of hermit and received the inspiration for his new series which have not only ere ated a sensation when exhibited fl, New York but, what is better, have sold very readily.
 In the last issue of the Literary Di. gest a couple of pages are devoted to the life and activities of the artist and that great paper seems to regard the man himself as rather a joke, but

The fleet is sched uled to leave Hampton Roads on the fifteenth of next month, proceeding direct to San Francisco, from which place Secretary Daniels will make tour of all naval establishments in that section of the country.
