Shepard, who is ‘ charge of the Wen
atchee Commercial Club apple exhibit;
Maurice Hartnett, a representative of
J. A. Folger * Co. of San Francisco,
and P. H. Watt, one of the managers
of the FVye. The party spent all of the
winter of 1898-99 on the Kohuk river
Inside the Arctic Circle, and came out
to Nome In the spring of 1899, their
search for gold unsuccessful. All the
members of the party are still alive

George Dumas and E. A. Norman,
miners from the Yentna district of
Alaska, owners of twenty claims on the
Nakochna creek, arrived In Seattle re
cently, at the conclusion of a season's
work in prospecting their holdings and
preparing them for active mining op
erations next summer Mr. Dumas has
been in the North for four or five years
while his partner has been there most
of the time since the Klondike rush in
which he joined Mr Norman said to
a newspaper man: "We have there an
ideal hydraulic proposition. The ground
is just right for it and we can get aP
the water we want under a pressure of
160 feet. The ground which we have
had all prospected in a rather haphaz
zurd way before we went there, but
without results of any consequence
When we prospered it, however, w<
did a thorough job of it. and the finds
we made more than justified the trou
ble. There are deposits of coarse gold
not only in the present creek bed, but
on the ledges where the creek formerly
ran, and they yielded more than pay
ing quantity of course gold We took
out about twenty-four ounces just a
we were prospecting." He took from
his pocket a small bottle containing
bits of gold of all shapes and sizes from
3 or 4 cents in value to nearly half n
dollar. -“There is enough pay dirt to
occupy us twenty years, taking it out
at the rate of from «U0 to 1,000 yards
a day," he stated. "Next year we'll take
out more than we have ever spent in
getting ready to work It."
Dr. L. S. Keller, of Skagway, has tv
ceived notice front Worthy President
Mann of the grand aerie of the Frater
nal Order of Eagles of his reappoint

60th parallel of latitude
Because the United States bureau of
fisheries has offered the state of Ore
gon 3,000,000 red Alaska salmon eggs

delivery to the Oregon state hatcheries,
the salmon packers and other public
spirited citizens of the Columbia river

enable the hatcheries to provide ac
comodations for the handling of these
eggs, the present facilities of the plants
being for the native fishes.
