SEWARD ASSIRED OE BIDDING BOOM Sewani is guaranteed a building boom shortly after New Nears Fhiy which has every prospect of continu ing throughout the year. Scores of buildings have been waiting for we* ks for material, and with the arrival of nearly UKXUKk) fee? of lumber, In sides all other necessary building material, on the Harold IMllarund tin bark Nicholas Thayer, the work will begin on a more extended scale than the town has ever seen. The Harold Dollar, chartered by the Ketiai Lumber »x buel Company* should reach |»rt b* fore the end of this month. Marly in January the bark Nicholas Thayer, chartered by \V. Fi. Jamison, will arrive. Kaeh w ill bring nearly feet of lum be r. Several excavations have F»een made for large structures and work on the buildings will begin as soon as luiubot is hauled across the wharves. A large number of buildings are planned, but the owners are waiting until material to complete them is actually at hand. Numerous dwelling hous** are also planned which will give every mechanic in town and many more em ployment for months. It is predicted by men who have lately come in from the outside that JSeward will have a rush «>f uew popu lation next year and that the influx will begin before spring. Ad tins.* people must 1h‘ sheltered, and in an ticipation of the demand for houses much building will be done by prop erty owners during the winter. Many of the newcomers also, wiii no doubt cotue here prepared to build immedi ately. Seward has little winter weather which interferes with outd or bunding and with numerous structures uu der way the time of occasional storms which may drive mechanics inside can be employed under shelter. So far this fall outside work has Iteen stopped less than a week by cold, and now and then by heavy rains. Lack of material has held building back much more than bad weather. To tlase Christmas Tree Arrangements are being made to have a public Christmas tree in Moore's hall next Monday. The exer cises will Iw? conducted by the l nion Sunday school, and will be “f a simple nature, and as brief as possible. Any one wishing to present friends with suitable gifts may do so in connection with this exercise. The exercises will probably begin al>out dark, owing to the fact that the hall is engaged for a dance that night. Spend Mght in Snow Andy Grierson and Arthur Tarver, who are rawhiding the ore from the Falls creek mines to the railroad, got lost on the trail one night recently, and spent the whole night out Iwfore they discovered themselves. Snow is constantly drifting over the trail so that often no marks of travel are visible. Building Snow flangrr The railroad machine shop is build ing a snow Hanger which w ill be used to clear the tracks of snow. The Santa Ana is expected to bring a big rotary plow. Quart/, commonly occurs in all acid rocks, but is rarely present in basic rocks, particularly in the highly basic kinds, like basalt. However, at a vol canic vent known as the Cinder Con**, ten miles east of lesson’s peak,in Cali fornia, is a black basalt How in w hich there are abundant quartz crystals. The gold receipts of the Seattle assay office for the present year up to the middle of November wer»' $18,668, 79J. This exceeds the receipts for any entire year preceding except I960, when the total was $22,038,797. The latter year was the high mark for the British Yukon. . 1 Canada has laid out plans for 7444 miles of new railroad to cost *132,000,000.

HAROLD DOLLAR TO COME TO SEWARD Steamer Harold l)olls.r will come to Seward instead of tin* l»race Dollar, which was tirst chartered, hut is still | in the dry dock for repairs. The Harold Dollar sailed from San Fran cisco for Seattle last Monday, and no i doubt reached t lie Sound port before • 'bis time and it now engaged in load ing her Seward cargo. She is a ves sel of L’.Joo tons capacity. The report that the* (4race Dollar wa> in Seattle proves to he an error. The report was brought up by Nelson Uich. who came up on the last Santa Clara, hut he was evidently misin formed. When the message came to K. K. Cray a few days ago stating that the ••Dollar" would >ail for Seward the 21st lie naturally assumed that the time* Dollar was meant. This morning a message came from the Dollar com • puny stat lag that the Harold Dollar sailed the lsth from San Francisco. The Harold Hollar will come direct to Seward if she can clear for this port. She will not carry a pound of freight for any other port. The new i deputy collector tor the port ot Sew ard, K. Finch Hitman, is expected to arrive here on the Santa Ana and it may he arranged for the Dollar to con. - straight to Seward. MAIL CARRIERS STALLED Dogs Unable to Pull Sleds through Snow on Sunrise Trail At last reports the mail carriers on the Sunrise route were stalled in the snow ahmt three miles up Johnson creek from the station where they leave the railroad track at mile J4. The dogs were unable to pull the sled through the newly fallen snow, which was deep and soft, and the carriers camped and waited for it to settle. They were still waiting in camp last Monday, when the last report was re ceived from them. Fred Haefs and Sam Wagner are carrying the mail. They left Seward lust Wednesday with an unusually heavy load, and when they started uj> hiil along Johnson creek the dogssunk in the soft snow to their bodies, and were unable to proceed. MENZ EXHIBITS HIS DEVIL An Eccentric Detroit Man Makes Money' Out of Freak Statue Herman Menz is having a "devil of a time" in Detroit. One recent Sun | day thousands of spectators crowded cars, delivery wagons, trucks and other vehicles in an endeavor to get a sight of the devil which Menz had erected in front of hi> house. Menz fearing that his statue would be torn down, took it off its pedestal and re moved it to the back yard. The crowd became >o importunate to get a sight of the gargoyle that Menz finally agreed to let everyone have a look at the image for 10 cents per rubber. | He made over $200 in the afternoon, which shows that he might not be so daffy as some ure inclined to believe I him. The city is now preparing to make Menz pay a license and in answer to a communication from the city to the effect that he would have to pay for the privilege of exhibiting his devil,] Menz. in a reply, said he had as much right to show his devil for money as the ministers holding a revival meet ing in a tent near his residence had to be conducting their operations. According to a bulletin issued by the census bureau, about 10b persons out of 1.000 in the United States over 10 years old, are unable to write, which is equivalent to about one in ten. Of the native white population, only 4b out of every 1,000, or fewer than one in twenty, of the foreign born whites, 128 out of every 1,000, and of the negroes 445 out of every 1.000. are illiterate. The gold production of the world is now aiK)ut $1,000,000 a day.

Dec. 20 A cave-in flooded the Hast river tunnel with water and I imprisoned t wo Italians for forty hours, j They faced imminent death all that J time until three swimmers went ■ through the tunnel and brought the ! men out on their hacks. The men were repairing a caisson in the side of the tunnel when the cave-in occurred and a rush of water nearly swept them away. They managed to climb upon a platform above the caisson, where they remained during all the forty hours without food, and part of the time in water up to their waists. At times the current was so j strong that the men could scarcely re j tain their hold upon the timbers, and every moment they faced the possi I hilit y of being carried away or of being submerged where they stood.

Gets Lot of Challenges San Francisco, Dec. 22. -Philadel phia Jack O’Brien was challenged yesterday by Tommy Ryan. Sam Berger and Marvin Hart. He may take Hart on first. Berger is a local amateur heavy weight, of about the; same class as A1 Kaufman, whom | O’Brien defeated a few weeks ago. He is regarded as a possible champion i and local sports are anxious for him to j have a tryout with O’Brien as a test of the respective merits of himself and Kaufman. O’Brien received $7158, the winner’s end of the purse, for his fight with Fitzsimmons. Fitz received $2386. The club’s percentage gave it $6362. The fighters received 60 per cent, of the gate receipts, divided <5 to the winner and 25 to the loser. Fitzsimmons will return to the stage and give up fighting for good. He ad mits that his day is past but says the public forced him to light as Jeffries’ retirement left him champion of the world and he had to defend the title. Prospects look promising at times for a panic on Wall street.
