WORLEY LITSEY IS DOING WELL THERE
Fairbanks Boy Has His New Store Up and Ready for Occupancy.
Advices from Ruby are to the effect that Worley Litsey, formerly of the local
post office force, who went to Ruby on a late boat, has his new building in
shape and is ready to do business. Litsey took the stock of goods with him when
he left on the last boat and a large consignment of perishables were shipped to
him for which there is said to be a good market in Ruby.

HOT SPRINGS MAN IS DEAD
Brother of Mrs. J. E. Coffer Died Yesterday Afternoon.
WAS THEN UNCONSCIOUS.
Of Late Boyle Has Been Employed There as a Jail Guard.
E. R. Boyle, mentioned in these columns yesterday as having been arrested at Hot
Springs for vagrancy, passed away at that place yesterday evening, according to
advices received by the marshal's office here.
The deceased, who was a middle-aged man, came north last summer for his health,
he being a sufferer from lung trouble, while in years past he was afflicted with
some sort of mental aberration.
During part of the time he has been at the Springs he served as Jail guard and
there is some money due him from this source in the marshal's office at the
present time. As his father is known to have some extensive real estate holdings
in San Francisco and his sister is Mrs. J. E. Coffer, of Hot Springs, it is
believed that the vagrancy complaint must have just been a subterfuge so as not
to have the stigma of an insanity charge on the family name. The complaint at
the Hot Springs was sworn to by C. A. Davidson, the storekeeper.
Saturday after he was taken into custody, Boyle had an attack that left him
unconscious. Yesterday at 4 o' clock he had another attack of what nature is not
known and while unconscious passed away.

MAYO DISTRICT HAS A FUTURE
Placer and Quartz Resources Are Praised by Dr. Wm. Catto.
BACK AFTER A LONG VISIT.
Description of Hard Rock Development -- Everyone Prospers.
DAWSON, Sept. 21.-- Dr. William Catto, who has returned from the Mayo District
after a visit of several weeks, is delighted with the country and reports it has
a bright future in Placer and quartz mining. The doctor is heavily interested in
Dublin Gulch, in that district, with Jack Stewart, and is much pleased with the
outlook. Stewart continues development work. He and the doctor are putting in
money and time, which testify more than words of their confidence in the
country. The doctor thinks the country should be granted every facility for its
rapid opening. He says:
"The Mayo District is yielding $1000 per annum for every man, woman and child in
the district. Indians included. About 160 people are there, and they never know
want, have much time for their own enjoyment, and live such lives of security
and ease by virtue of the reliability of their mining properties that they do
not know the feverish haste which characterizes some hard-driven mortals. All
have three squares daily, plenty of clothing, the best of health and every
blessing imaginable. It is the most contented district I know.
"The greatest need of the Mayo District is means of accessibility to the creeks,
better transportation facilities, roads for mail to tributary creeks of promise.
"Highet Creek has been yielding the largest proportion of gold, with Haggert and
Duncan next. These streams keep practically all the working men of the district
employed, so there is very little prospecting for new creeks. The people
probably would turn up more new placers words they less prosperous and not so
contented where they are. It is discontent which creates adventures.
"A fine job has been done on the road from Mayo to Minto this year, a distance
of 11 miles. The Highet road is being fixed from Minto. At Minto, the Haggert
Road will be changed. Instead of following mad Creek, it will cross the Creek
and follow the dry gravel bench to Lookout Mountain. This will be less expensive
than repairing the old road, and will constitute a permanent roadbed. It will
shorten the distance between Minto and the bridge on the Mayo River and Lookout
Mountain by about 3 miles. That will make it 7 miles instead of 10.
"Despardine says that with his present seasons allowance of $3000 he feels
confident that by adopting this plan they will be able to make a fairly good
winter road this season to the McQuesten River, which, by the new route, will be
about 16 miles from Minto.
"This would leave only about 11 miles up Haggert Creek to the placer ground
below the mouth of Dublin Gulch, where the Abbott brothers and Portlock and the
Canton brothers are operating. Of course, it also would save Dublin Gulch
itself. _____ is operating Placer there.
"The quartz outlook on Dublin Gulch improves with every blow of the pick. The
veins occur in a fissured belt following a granite contact that crosses the
upper part of Dublin Gulch and some of its small tributaries. Gold has been
found in these veins for a length of about 4 miles of this fissured belt.
"The are auriferous quartz is associated with a green fluorite which gives a ...
