WESTWARD FISHING
EDGES IIH. GOLD
Not finding gold mining in Ne
vada as profitable as it appeared
from a distance, Jake Young, of
Seldovia, is back again in Alaska,
associated with the fishing crews
of the gas boat Emmerson, and
expects to make a pay day deliv
ering fish to the Cook Inlet Pack
ing Co., of Seldovia, reports the
Herald.
Mr. Young was visiting at his
sister's home in Portland when
the news of the Rabbit Hole, Ne- |
vada, gold strike broke. He and
his brother-in-law drove hurriedly
to the scene. People from all parts ,
of the country started a Rabbit'
Hole stampede. But when it de
veloped that the high grade rock, ;
at first supposed to have come
from northedn Nevada hills, had
in reality been stolen from an
established mine in California and
hauled across the line by two 16
year-old boys, the bubble burst,
and 3,000 automobiles, on the point
of departure for the “hills of gold”
were stuck away in their garages.
