officers of Virginia by the State Health

Springs Mission Had An
 Enjoyable Xmas

Pilgrim Springs, Alaska, Dec. 30 DEAR EDITOR:
 am writing you about the Christ mas festivities here at the request of Rev. Father Menager. We cer- tainly had a wonderful day.
 On Christmas Eve, the people from Mary's Mountain Village came with their teams. The children were anxiously awaiting them and when the first team was in sight the news spread quickly and soon every one knew it.. Whenever the dogs parked we knew that team had come. There were people com ing from in the afternoon till late at night. Some people came from New Village and Shelton, also all were welcomed. They were given sleeping quarters for the night and their meals were prepared for them,
 After supper, which was earlier than usual, we decorated the dining room and the play-room. We then went to bed and closed our eyes in sleep. At 11:30 we were awakened by Sister Clement Marie playing the Christmas song, Silent Night, Holy Night" on the organ, and three girls singing with her. In a

very much. You would never guess who it was that played Santa Claus, it was Sister Clement Marie, and it was all very cute.
 At one pm. we went to the church for Benediction to receive the bless ing of our Lord and also to thank Him for all the favors we had re- ceived from Him. We would have had -Benediction later if it had not been for the storm. It was aWfully stormy but it died down after Bene- diction and was as calm as the day before. It had cleared just in time for the people who were returning to their homes.
 We spent the rest of the day in enjoying our presents. The little girls were happy with their dolls and they are spending their holi- days making doll clothes.
 A big supper was served at six o'clock which was half hour earl fer than usual When the meal was over we had two and half hours in which to spend our evening re- creation. R
 Then bed time came and again we closed our eyes in slumber. Thus ended a happy day spent--,in-the shadow of the Sawtooth Mountains.
 Here ends my story of the first Christmas spent with Rev. Father Menager, and it was Merry Christ mas indeed.
 Wishing you success in the New Year, am,
 Yours Sincerely,
 1.rr MARY LANE.

half hour we were dressed, and the joyous peals of the bell summoned us to Church to commemorate that night so long ago when Christ our Savior was born
 In the Church is to be seen a representation of the stable at Beth lehem, (the scene of Christ's birth place,) which was lit with little "Noma" color lights.
 Before Mass began there was a procession in which the altar boys, priest, who was carrying an image of the Inkant King lying on an em- broidered pillow. When they came to the crib, Father laid the Infant on His bed of straw and burned in cense in His honor Then followed the Midnight Mass, followed by a second Mass which lasted about an hour and half
 When the divine services were over we went to the dining room and ate our Midnight lunch, as we call it, though it really was early in the morning. At two o'clock we went back to bed and remained there till nine o'clock. Then we arose again and went to church fol the third Mass. Then came break fast time.
 Our Christmas tree celebration took place at l2 We were all seat, ed in the dining room awaiting the arrival of dear old Santa Claus. He arrived in few minutes, all out of breath and quite tired. We sang of Christmas songs and recited some poems for him. After telling us about his travels to the North Pole he distributed the presents. The little tots were very scared of Santa even when he offered them their presents, but anyway the other children and the people enjoyed il

in the next few months to continue his work.
 A number of small operators Dick Hoogendorn, Dick Escholt, and Schaeffer and Johnston-are still contributing to the ouput of the In machuk.
 "A V. Cordovado, well known plac- CT operator, who for years was the leading producer on the River, has not yet come to an agreement with P. A. Robbins, head of the A. C. E.. Go, who was to go into partnership with him In case they do not get together this spring, the case will probably go to court in Nome, so that there will be either operation under a receiver or else another year wasted because of litigation
 Cordovado went outside recently to attempt settlement with Robbins who makes his headquarters in Chi cago.
 Cal Suksdorf, who has been at tempting for several years to obtain backing to open up Cleary Creek on the Kobuk River, has at last closed deal in Portland, whereby he will be having his equipment come in this summer, via Kotzebue. It is presumed that he will use drag line or shovel. 3
 Art Hansen, veteran on the Ko- bulk, has been doing preliminary work for Suksdorf. The same indi- vidual operators are doing fairly well elsewhere on the Kobuk's branches" !"

ARCTIC CIRCLE REGION SHOWS
 IMPROVEMENT

The 1885 season promises to be- come a record one for gold produc- ton in the Arctic Circle portion of the Second Division, Representative Arthur Chamberlain of the Second Division, who was in Fairbanks re- gently, said. Candle. and the Kobuk are already assured of increased op- erations while the Inmachuk field, back of Deering may again come in to it's own, after virtually two years of idleness.
 "The opening of actual dredging operations by the Arctic Circle Ex- ploration Company at Candle will mark the introduction of the first steel pontoon hull to Alaska MT. Chamberlain declared. "This com pany has let two contracts for sink ing prospect holes, and has three drills on the ground.
 Due to the mildness of the win ter, as well as the late freeze-up, a great deal of prospecting has been done already, and it is believed that either one or two more dredges may be brought in within the next two seasons, if the prospects come up to present expectations.
 The Arctic Circle Exploration Co. has installed a modern power plant, generating current from a diesel en- zine, and the new dredge is fully electric. The plant is sufficiently largeto provide for any future boats.
 Besides opening up new ground on the Keewilk River, the Arctic Circle Exploration Company is taking up its options-it is understood, on the holdings of most of the small opera tors on Candle Creek, where the old dredge of the Keewalik Mining Co., is located. The Keewalik Mining Company was taken over complete ly by the Arctic Circle Exploration Company before beginning opera tions.
 ''The Quartz Creek Mining Com pany, operating between Candle and Haycock, intends to expand opera tions somewhat during the coming year, while recent prospecting done in the viciniyt of Haycock may pro- duce increased activity.
 "The Inmachuk River was quiet during 1884, the Forsgren Dredging Company registering the only pro- duction to amount to anything. The Forsgrens have either staked or leased more ground during the past two years, brought in thawing equip ment and otherwise indicated that they are on the river to stay.
 I'LL. Stull, who has prospected on the lava beds of the upper river for number of years, is Outside at pre- sent and his plans for the coming season are not known. However, it is thought that he will be back with

JUDGE EXPLAINS
 STATUS IN CASE
MascOIO Disqualifies Self After Suggesting Arrest
 of Paul MartOne

The fact that from the city court bench he had suggested the arrest of Paul Martone yesterday on a charge of keeping liquor with in- tent to sell was the reason ad- vanced today by Judge Edward Mascolo for self disqualification in trying the case. Martone, who is 52 and lives at 21S North Elm street. will be given a hearing in- stead next wednesday before Judge John F. McGrath.
 Martone was arrested yesterday when his testimony on behalf of Lorenzo Simone, South Main street custard shop keeper arrested for keeping liquor with intent to sell, had absolved the defendant but had allegedly implicated himself. The court suggested the mans ar- rest after his testimony.
 Martone testified that more than 20 bottles of beer found in a rear room at Simone's custard shop were his property and that he rented the back room for a res- taurant, selling spaghetti and ham, burg.
 Simone had been arrested We'd nesday afternoon by Capt. Dan Car son and the v;ce squad in one or two custard shop raids.

Again this year the first requisite, that of an invitation from a mem- Der will be waived and the public is cordially invited. It is hoped by so doing that the membership can be increased to a nominal number and that the many fine ideals and memories of this famous organiza- ton will be continued throughout the years to come.
 Many prominent men in the state were members of the Croco- dile Club. Edward F. Newell tho

first secretary and orator of the club in little booklet published by the Bristol Press in 1896, says in part: "A most worthy feature of our club is its catholicity and democracy, of course do not mean in a religious or political sense, but that it is not narrow or exclusive but broad and inclusive. It practically includes men from the various stations and conditions of life--farmers, mechanics, liter ary men, lawyers, doctors and even clergymen."

features of the reunions. The late Hon. Noble D. Pierce of Bristol was steady disciple and one of the principle after dinner enter- tainers, keeping everybody in a constant uproar with his custom ary clever and affable stories. These men like many more of the old timers have long since passed away but their memory still lin- gers in the hearts of all true Crocodilians.
 A meeting would not be com plete, however. without Arthur IT. Porter of Bristol who sang "Eiur. rah for old New England" as he sang 1t at like gatherings more than 40 years ago.
