FIND LONG LOST PACKTRAIN
Valdez—Five hundred feet down a
crevasse in the great Valdez glacier have
been discovered the bodies of six burros
making up the packtraiu of a party of
Eastern prospectors who started for the
Copper river country from this port 13
years ago and were lost in what was
then an utterly unknown wilderness.
\V. II. Crary, a mushcr, who was travel
ing over the glacier, made the discovery.
The depths of the crevasse were mo
mentarily illuminated by the sun as
Crary crossed it and he caught sight of
the burros. With the aid of his binocu
lars he ascertained that the bodies were
in a perfect state of preservation and
equipped with pack saddles and packs.
He could not discover any human bodies,
but it is believed the owners of the pack
train perished in the crevasse and an at
tsmpt will be made as soon as the
weather moderates to descend into the
fissure and learn whether such was the
case. The crevasse is far from the old
Copper river trail, and this leads to the
conjecture that the doomed prospectors
lost their way and perished in the
treacherous ice field. Old-timers here
recollect that one ot several parties was
equipped with a burro pack train, but
nobod}’ remembers the names of the
members of the expedition.
Bonnifisld Hydraulic
Is a Slow Proposition
Fairbanks, March 24.—One of the ar
rivals on the stage which came in oi,
Thursday was James Hamil, of the firm
of Berry & Hamil. He will at once
begin the preparations for the hydraulic
operations conducted bv his firm in the
Boiinifield country. It is not likely,
however, that much sluicing will be
done this summer, he says, because
there is yet much to be done in the way
of tightening ditches, laying flumes and
pipes and building reservoirs. The work
thjs year will call for 25 or 30 men, and
Mr. Hamil will at once set about the i
purchase of the necessary horses and the
shipment of supplies to the scene of op
erations.
Mr. Hamil left Fairbanks last fall,
going over the trail on horseback. He j
has spent the greater part of the winter !
at Los Angeles. He states that Frank
Berry and his wife are due to leave Seat
tle on the ist, but it is not likely that
Clarence Berry will be in the camp this
year. _
Fiery Hut Springs
Editor in Trouble
Fairbanks, March i —On a charge of
‘'endeavoring to procure anti incite an
other to commit perjury," an indictment
was returned during the week against
George Hinton Henry, the editor of the
Hot Springs 1'cho. Henry will be
brought to Fairbanks for trial. The in
dictment recites that on February 3
Hinton endeavored to get Benj. Drury,
the agent and clerk of the N. C. Co., to
commit perjury in the case of the United
States vs. Alice Taylor. It is understood
that Henry tried to get Drury to assert
that lie had not sold liquor to the Tay
lor woman between certain dates.
Plenty Lumber
For the Iditarod
Fairbanks, March 20. —To be used in
cutting lumber for the Iditarod trade,
the sawmill of the Fairbanks Lumber
Company has been sold and is being
dismantled to be transported to a new
site below Chena.
The Fairbanks Lumber Company tnili
was started in 1900, and since that time
has furnished a large share of the lum
ber used in the city. It was burned
down a year ago lust spring but was
afterward rebuilt. Now the owners
(Benson Bros. & Parker) have disposed
of the plant to Ed Liberty and part
ners, who will begin hauling the ma
chinery away today.
During the greater part of the win
ter Labelty and partners have been
getting out logs at a point on the Tan
ana about 15 miles below Chena. Th ;y
now have between 600,000 and 700,00(1
feet yarded out. These logs will be cut
and the lumber hauled in scows to the
Iditarod.

Koyukuk Looks
Good to S¥iany
Fairbanks, March 23.—This morning
there will be an exodus of no mean
proportions for the Koyukuk country,
there being no less than 14 prospectors
and miners going north for the sum
mer.
Among these is one party of Italians
who are headed for Nolan creek. They
have a friend and partner there who is
in the money on that creek, and who
has written them to come up. Several
others are headed for Sheep creek,
where the strike was made during the
early winter. They are going in on
the advice of Old Man McGilvray.
formerly of this camp, who last fall was
lucky enough to land on the bench pay
on Sheep creek.
Still another bunch of the mashers
will make for the South fork of the
Koyukuk, where part of them have
prospected before, and where they
found enough to keep them interested.

Henay Attempts to Shoot
District Attorney Fickert
San Francisco, Feb. 1“—Francis J.

to draw a revolver from a hip pocket
and shoot District Attorney Fickert,

Friends overpowered Heney and took
the weapon away from him. The argu
ment grew out of the failure of Fickert
to prosecute the alleged grafters of the
city. __
