CANADIAN BORDER IS
ITCHED FOR BANDITS
SEATTLE, Aug. 16, (/P)—Sheriffs
of adjacent counties and Canadian
border authorities were warned by
Seattle police to keep a sharp look
out for the two armed desperadoes
who abandoned a small automobile
after a series of week-end robberies
which police believe netted them
close to $10,000. Records of stolen
automobiles are being checked
on the theory that the fleeting pair
may have changed machines and left
the city while prowler car crews
searched the vicinity of Minor Ave.
and Stewart street where the auto
mobile used in the daylight holdups
was found.
Harry Johnson of Juneau', who was
sentenced to serve one year in jail
and pay a fine of $500 for violation of
the liquor laws, has been taken io
Skagway to serve his sentence in
the Skagw’ay jail.

DETAILS ARE GIVEN
OF NEW SHRIVE IN
SQUAW CREEK REGION
Details of the Squaw Creek strike
in the Yukon Territory were given
to the Juneau Empire by Sumner S.
Smith, mining man, formerly located
in this Division. He made the trip
inside from Whitehorse to Dazadeasb
Lake, thence to Squaw Creek and
out to Rainy Hollow, near Haines.
The trip from Whitehorse to
Champagne was made by automobile
over 60 miles of good road, said Mr.
Smith. From there 'he went to Deza
deash Lake and river where he took
a saddle horse to the scene of the
strike.
Squaw Creek ds about 12 miles
long, according to Mr. Smith, border
ing between British Columbia and
Yukon Territory. It is a steep and
narrow creek, with many large boul
ders.
The claims run 250 feet crosswise
of the narrow valley and are diffi
cult to work economically because of
! draining being dumped into adjoin
jing claims.
TAKES OUT $3,000
Paddy Duncan, original discoverer,
has taken out $3,000 from the present
cut since opening up last fall, to July
15, according to Mr. Smith.
Discovery and No. 3 above are do
ing most of the actual mining. Each
employs from four to five nvm.
Many other claims are being pro
jspected.
Gold has actually been found the
entire length of the creek, Mr. Smith
said, but not in larg»e paying quanti.
ties; however there is a prospect
that a camp might be developed.
Difficulties in prospecting and
mining are experienced because of
'the large boulders which fill tire
'creek.
There are no supplies at Squaw
Creek and everything neccessary
must be taken in by the prospectors
and operators.

Mr. Smith went over the head of the
[creek, swinging south along the
flanks of the mountains parallel to
the old Balton Trail. He crossed
Bouhdry Glacier, following Jarvis
Creek down to Rainy Hollow, thence
to Pleasant Camp, and from there
a distance of 42 miles to Haines.
This route taken by Mr. Smith is
the shortest from the coast but is
not staked and there are no pack
trains available at the present time

Juneau, have a crew of men drilling
