ENCOURAGING REPORTS
COME FROM HORSEFLY
Arrivals from Horsefly creek, the
scene of the recent excitement, this
week report that Jim Brewer has
. succeeded in reaching bedrock, and
that his panning tests disclosed fair
ly good pay. Reports vary as to the
! values uncovered, but there seems to
be an increased interest in the work
being done there. Prospectors are
continually coming and going, and the
creeks adjacent to Horsefly are re
ceiving more attention as the result
of recent developments.
The depth of the ground on Horse
fly creek seems to vary considerably.
Frank Morgan, who returned early in
the week, reports that he sunk some
twenty-five feet and had not reached
bedrock.
|
As yet there has not been enough
work done to determine the extent of
tho pay, but it is likely that within a
short time this will be known, as
many outfits are working there.—

UNCLE SAM FINDS WIFE
FOR FORMER ALASKAN
Charles Dreibelbis, the hero of the
following newspaper story, is well
known to many Alaskans. At one
time he was a deputy marshal under
United States Marshal Love, station
ed at Fairbanks. The story is from
the San Francisco Examiner of
August 27:
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.—Uncle Sam
has prosecuted scores of matrimonial
agents. Now, involuntarily, he has
become one of them. Here’s how:
Charles Dreibelbis, owner of a 4,
| 000-acre ranch in Montana, came to
the stockyards last spring with fifteen
j carloads of cattle. He sold his stock,
then strolled out to see the sights,
| and saw the sign of the federal cm
1 ployment bureau. The rancher want
ed a housekeeper. He hud lost his
wife eight years ago in the gold fields
of Alaska.
Ward E. Thompson, government
employment agent, asked concerning
his means.
“Well,” said the rancher, “I sup
pose if 1 had to I could raise $500.
000 in two hours. I have a home in
Montana, fifty-six miles from a rail
road. 1 want someone to tidy up the
house a bit and keep it looking
pretty.”
Thompson thought of a woman who
had applied for work. He telephoned
to her and she came to his office. She
was followed by a 17-year old son.
Dreibelbis offered to pay $40 a month
to her and a like <um to her son. Hut
the woman hesitated. The rancher
returned h< me without her, but left
money for her transportation.
The woman, seeking matrimony,
wrote him many letters, but he wa
not anxious to marry. Ail he want
ed was a housekeeper.
On May 15 a pretty willow, 2»> years
old, accompanied by a little boy, ask
ed Thompson to find a position for
her son. She had been a .stenog
rapher.
“I have just the place," said
Thompson, and he wired to the
ranch.
“Send her along,” was the answer.
The widow went to Montana.
And now Thompson has received an
engraved announcement. It reads:
“Charles Dreibelbis and Mrs. Marjorie
L. Yates announce their marriage.
Saturday, July 24. 1015. At home,
Wolsey, Mont.“
And with it was an invitation to
“come out and bring the fan.;,.\."
MAY HAVE LOST HIS LITE
IDITAROD—Recent arrivals from
the Kuskokwim tell of an incident
which occurred on the Aniak which
may mean that Oscar Beaulieu, a
young man well known in this district,
may have lost his life.
Aa related, the story goes that
Beaulieu started to cross the Aniak
river near the home of Duke Stubbs,
and broke through the ice. His
matches became wet and he shouted
to Mrs. Stubbs to send him over some
matches by one of his dogs. T he dog
was dispatched with the matches, but
returned, and in spite of the fact that
Mrs. Stubbs is said to have shouted
repeatedly to the traveler, he had dis
appeared and has not been seen since.
