SAYS WHEELS KEEP GOING John Stritzen, a miner from Eureka creek, Dawson, arrived in town last night and will sail south on the first boat. Mr. Stritzen asserts that he has invented a perpetual motion machine and next Monday evening at the hall at Sixth and Broadway he will deliver a free lecture, setting forth the principles of his invention and how he came to discover it. He delivered several lectures in Dawson. Stritzen claims that the secret of the machine was revealed to him in a dream. He says he built a model machine on his claim on Eureka creek but destroyed it before leaving for the outside so that no one could steal his idea. Stritzen says he is going outside to have his invention patented and perfected.
