Back From Alaska and Grand Rapids Gold Hearings
Orrin Gray recently returned from Alaska after a second journey with son A. TD Gray. They crossed Chilkoot Pass carrying about 1,500 pounds of provisions, reached Dawson on June 6 and stayed until the 23rd. They report vast changes in travel and note prospects at the creeks and claims near Bowinan, Bear Creek, and Rob Roy, with hopes to return by February. A letter from R. Dunaven to the Ceabeatin Enterprise hints at a fabulous gold harvest by the Grand Tapida and Centralia crews, while Chappel and others estimate large fortunes from Dawson area prospects amid high water and difficult work.

Care of Lamps in Nurseries and Homes
The article argues lamps are gentler on children’s eyes than gas or electricity and should be preferred in nurseries. It stresses meticulous care: keep oil pure with clear sediment, wash reservoirs weekly, rinse and dry before refilling, clean burners daily, wipe the wick, and soak a cloudy wick in vinegar and water if needed before reassembly.
