Of the total amount of gold deposited, $662,9O6,0S ca me from the Fairbanks district proper.

RICH VEIN SILVER ALICE ARM CAMP
 (Alssks Weekly)

The sensational mining news of the weeA. in the Northland, comes from the Alice Arm diStr jet of Northern British Columbia where the Homessake Mining Company, operating on the Toric, encountered shoot of silver ore, eighteen feet in width, which carries values equal to those fOu nd in the famous Dolly Warden mine in the same locality. The report was brought to Vancouv CT, B. C., this week by A. C. Fl. Gerardi, mining engineer, who was in charge of the developm ent work It the time of tho rich strike some ten days ago.
 The Alice Arm Herald says of the strike:
 The report of the high grade ore strike at the Toric Mine, Wn lch we published last week, Was verified this week, when Mr. T. IaVener, at present in charge of the camp, came down from the mine and left during tue week for Vancouver.
 Mr. Travener brought with him one of the best specimens of silver ore that has reached town being about sixteen inches long and elght inches wide. It is full of flakes oI native silver, silver sulphideS, and also carries steel galena. The sight of biz lln1es of native silver made the old imcrs gasp with aSton4shment and re call the days wher the Dolly Va rCeu was struck.

OUR A. B. HALL

Mccarthy has one thing to be proud of in it's large and wetl furnished assembly hall, for it is a building that might be a credit to a much larger town than ours, But time and rough usage have left their mark and prompt atten tion should be given to some very necessary repairs.
 Up to the present time the Pioneers of Mccarthy have been meeting sll expenses in connect ion with payments and up.keep on the building but their memD ership Is now very small and it Is considerable of financial str %in on them to continue dolny it. The nall is given rent free for all public entertainments, dances. basket ball games, etc. so that no revenue is derived from it to pay for repairs. Under t!iese circum stances, then 1t is only proper that everyone interested should do his or her share to keep the building in repair. If the c!t;zen> were approached or this mater. they would no doubt rrspond.
 Some two or three hundte ed dollars are needed anu when tne Pioneers Come aiOund for d sub sc'ipIion dig down and hcip. We must not let cur nall 70 0 ruin.

ALI. ADOPT

Opposition Headed by Britain
and France Dropped-Ses-
sion to BE Dec. 10
By FRED ]. WALKER


The row between the great
powers over the question of China
appeared today to be approaching
an end, with a victory for the
American point of view.
The State Department sugges-
ton to the powers that a confer
ence to revise China's treaty rel"
tions with the rest of the world
be held in Pekin on December IS
next is expected to be accepted by
all concerned.
Opposition Is Broken
The American suggestion was car
ried over the marked antagonism
which, mainly in London and Paris.
greeted Secretary of State Kellogg 9
original declaration that the time
has arrived for the powers once and
for all to state whether they will
give up the extra -territoriality they
have enjoyed in China for years.
Downing Street Relents
With the actual machinery for the
conference now in motion. following
acceptance by the powers of China s
suggestion that commissioners be
appointed to discuss extra-territOri-
atty, a recession OF the anti-fOreign
agitation which has swept China
during recent months was being
generally awaited today.
British commercial interests in
China, who are opposed to submit
ting their grievances to Chinese
Courts. were understood to be back
of the London opposition to an early
conference:
The continued agitation in China
was generally believed today to have
inclined Downing street to relent
on it's early determination to DELAY
the conference. With the result that
the American suggestion for the
early meeting date was dispatched.
Chinese Courts Limited
Fears were openly expressed to-
day. however. that the state Of
Chinese thought has so far pro-
crossed as to refuse to accept any
thing but an outright relinquish-
ment of the powers of all their
treaty rights.
Treaty nations now maints.i in their
own judiciary in China. Which dis
penses justice to foreigners while
Chinese courts are limited to acting
only in cases involving their own
nationals.
II is claimed that the Chinese
judicial system is not sufficiently
modern to properly dispense Justice
TO foreigners.
Codification of Chinese law, long
suggested by the powers as the first
step in their REIMBURSEMENT of extra
territorial rights. is now reported
to ne under way.

at his solemn task. Now they were
all toasted. Thirty-eight times had he
raised the glass in the air, thirty-eight
times had he slipped of the old wine
to their memory, t~hirty-eight times had
he called their names one by one.
Thirty-eight CLEANS of joy, thirty-eight
pangs of sorrow and 1t was all over
The Last Mans Club was no more.
A sense of sadness crept over him.
He sat down in his chair YEARLY, and
uttered a ~long-drawn sigh as his head
dropped slowly on his bosom. Then
the room grew dim and he closed his
eyes.
A wild chorus, a confusion Of ia
miliar sounds, and a few bars of an
old song awakened him. He jumped
up, blinked in the light, and looked
around him. The song fell upon his
ears like the melody of an old poem.
1t awakened a whole flood of emotion
in the old mans soul that held him
s~pell-bound. He listened again. The
sound came swelling from all sides,
flooding his mind with "reminiscences
which almost made him weep. 1t was
their drinking song, sung with a full
chorus before Death had begun to step
in nearly sixty years ago.
He looked down the table and gave
a sudden start. He looked again.
Was he dreaming? He rubbed his
eyes to make sure.
Before him, seated around the
board, were the thirty-eight men whose
memory he had just toasted.
They were all singing-singing the
same old song in the way he could
never forget. 1t was like the voice
of Yesterday reaching forth into the
Present. He cleared his throat, took
a long breath, and joined wildly In
with the chorus. He sang the song
through and stopped exhausted. He
fought for his breath, gulped down a
draught of wine, and rested. Then he
glanced down the line of men seated
around the board, looked at his own
place, and stared. 1t was vacant
His chair was empty. 1t was the only
~unoccupied one around the board. He

again. They were toasting him-the
Last Man.
Weakly, he staggered over to the
table. With palsied hand, he filed his
glass as they did theirs, held it high
in the air, and drank. The sides of
the room slowly heaved before his
eyes; the table became an indistinct
streak of white the thirty-eight guests
blurred into two gray lines then ev-
erything turned black. His glass fell
from his hand and crashed against the
chair. He reeled and swayed for a
moment, extended both hands plead
ingly towards the table, smiled, then
fell heavily to the floor.
They found him there the next morn
