GOLD STRIKE
ON GOOD NEWS
RIVER REPORTED
SEATTLE, June 1—(By mail.)—
News of a gold strike on the upper
waters of Good News river, which
flows into Good News bay in the kus
kokwim district, was given out yes
terday by Capt. Louis Knaflich of the
kuskokwim Fishing & Transportation
company. The strike was made last
fall, but Capt. knaflich has kept the
matter secret until now. According
to letters received by Capt. Knaflich,
a small sized stampede of the opera
tors at near by points has started.
Capt. Knaflich brought out $800 in
gold dust last fall that was washed
out by A. Gabrielson, discoverer of
the diggings, in eight days. Gabriel
son, running short of supplies, had
to leave his find, and it was too late
in the season to go back.
Along with the story of the strike
Capt. Knaflich gave his real reason
for the purchase of the new schooner
Eunice, which is now being completed,
and will sail either Friday or Satur
day for Good News bay. The vessel
will take a full cargo of supplies for
the fishing post that Knaflich & Al
bert, of the Kuskokwim Fishing &
Transportation company maintains
there, and was secured solely with the
idea of serving the new camp as a
freight and passenger vessel. Capt.
Knaflich will go north in the vessel,
returning on one of the other vessels
of his fleet.
According to Capt. Knaflich, Ga
brielson sent out for a complete out
fit to work his mine, a $2,000 con
signment going in on the power
schooner Ruby, which sailed recently.

I REGISTRATION
BLANKS NOW
ON WAY HERE
JUNEAU.—(By mail.)—The regis
tration blank? and supplies for the
Territory of Alaska arrived from the
south on June 7. and are now at the
governor’s office, where they are be
ing prepared for mailing to the cities
and voting precincts of the territory.
The letter sent with the supplies
estimates that 13,943 men between
the ages of 21 and 30 are in the ter
ritory and subject to registration.
This is based on an estimate of the
1917 census, but as the total vote
cast for delegate at the election last
November was but 14,295, it is felt
that the total registration will fall
far short of the estimated number .
The supplies received include reg
istration cards, certificates of regis
tration and the printed forms of in
structions. As soon as possible they
will be mailed to every town, voting
precinct, or federal officer in the ter
ritory, the supplies for the Second and
Fourth divisions going out first. Fol
lowing them the Third division sup
plies will be mailed and the First di
vision last of all.
As soon as the supplies for the in
terior sections have been mailed
the question of the date of registra
tion will be taken up with the gover
nor and the war department by tele
graph and the date set from Washing
_
Ad'ices recei'ed by the Fairbanks
Commercial Club from Delegate Sul
zer state that he is working hard to
secure a change in the Alaska game
laws, whereby the dates for the open
season in interior Alaska for birds
and moose and caribou will be chang
%
ed to conform to the season in that
section.
