The largo rooms of the famous Treadwell Club took on the appear ance of fairy land?for the*nonce the billiard room ceased to be used for the ordinary purposes. All of the ta bles were heaped with evergreen while the lights were shaded in a most pleusing effect. Turning to the right the throng en tered the hall used as theatre and ball room since the erection of the building . Here one gazed in wonder absolutely olst in admiration of the wonderful effect secured in the ar rangement of drapery and decora tions. On the left, near the entry, a large booth done in red contained the punch bowls presided over by attentive wait ers?then followed an open booth with subdued lights and easy chairs; then a large well-lighted booth in which was ensconced the splendid Treadwell orchestra and then more booths with easy chairs down to the stage. The stage itself had been converted into a sylvan glade?tables were spread and pretty wood nymphs waited on fam ished revelers as they dropped In for refreshment. Evergreens and flowering roses ran riot over the walls. Across the bal cony rail large letters done in ever green wished everybody a "Happy New Year." .Many beautiful gowns and the reg ulation evening dress lent additional charm to the scene. The whole effect was most pleasing. The hall, though very large, was filled and were It not for the nicely arranged booths with the easy chairs, dancing would have been a bit uncomfortable. The ball programs were a work of art, calling forth complimentary re marks from all They consisted of twelve pages and a cover. The leaves were arranged in steps. The book opened in the center with dance No. one on the left and No. seven on the right.. At the top of the page was a bit of verse and a descriptive etch ing. Each page was treated likewise until the whole story of the cyanide treatment of gold ores was recounted and the last dance of the evening | named.

It seems that the transportation company refuses to sell food and supplies to mushing prospectors along the trail on the plea that it would be a detriment to their road house traffic. Mr. McLeod intends to put up a 'ight for better treatment for the pros- , lector. After doing what he can at Skagway on this matter McLeod will , nush on to Dawson.

The most beautiful and elaborate function of the year was the ball given in the Tread well Club on New Year's Eve, by the boys of the cyanide plant. The decorations were carried out to perfection, and showed painstaking and artistic work by the boys in charge of the ball. The hall was all made over with pink bunting and ev ergreens were banked between the windows and all around in front of the stage and balcony. The refresh ments were served on the stage, and it was a treat to sit and listen to the mandolin Club play, as one was served with ice cream and cake. Dancing followed the grand march, led by Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Lass and Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Kennedy. There was not a dull moment during the entire evening. The "Cyanide boys" are being congratulated upon having given the prettiest ball ever seen at th Treadwell Club.
