EXTINGUISHED AT FRISCO!
International News Service.
SAX FRAXCISCO, May 11.—Arest
ed as a deserter from the aviation
corps of the United States army Frank
Fels was found to have valuable pa
pers, the property of the United
States government in his possession
which included detail maps of the
forts on the Pacific coast.
The secret service men took the
matter in hand and find that Fels is
in reality Frank Wolfe, a lieutenant
of the German army who had fought
at Verdun.
Several months ago Wolfe joined
the aviation corps at San Diego under
the name of Frank Fels. He was un
der the tuition of Lieut. Leon Richard
son, formerly of Nome, and pro veil to
be a first class man in all respects.
The spy had access to the orderly
rooms and staff offices and a few days
ago was found missing together with
many valuable documents which were I
abstracted from the safe.
A description of the missing man
was forwarded to the various police
centers in the states and he was pick
ed up at a German hotel here yes
terday.
Search of his eft jets disclosed the
missing maps as well as documents
which are absolute evidence to his
identity, both here and in Germany.
The nature of some of these letters
point to a wonderful system which Is
carried out by Germans and pro-Ger
mans in their endeavor to assist the
central powers at this country’s ex
pense.

On the report of the strike many

creek—i:} staked from head to mouth

against the same mountain as Sweep

A few days ago Ryan sold his in
terest in No. 5 Rube creek to I„a Foun
tain—the storekeeper—for $1,000.
Tom Gaffney states that there will
be a shortage of water for sluicing in
Dime creek this spring. Many of the
workings are on the benches and were
dependent on the snow water.
Supples are short in the Norton
sound camp and they are entirely out
of butter, sugar, and potatoes. Chester
is said to be shipping in a $35,000 out
fit on the first boats which are eagerly
awaited.
Gaffney intended going on to Unn
lakleet but could not make it owing to
open water so went to Dime instead.
Tie will return to the city on Sunday
night.
