EIGHTY OUNCES OF
(Continued from Page One)
“We were getting along famous
ly.” says Ole, who is now in town,
“but something told us to watch
our step. Times were troubulous.
We began caching our gold near
Bear Creek. Unlike the legendary
pirates, we did not kill a man and
place him on top of the gold to
have his spirit guard it- In fact,
the crowd was so honest and good
natured that we could not have,
found a spirit tough enough to
keep cases on the cache if we’d
wished. Sixteen Russian spirits
with the whiskers would have re
quired more work than taking out
a pit on the creek and would have
interested the census taker, de
spite the fact that moujik life was i
on n par wi h the three yards of ;
paper money each of us finally re- j
reived in compensation for what
the white Russians did to our out
fit.
“We had taken in enough good
provender to last us a full season,;
and it was w rth a lot of money.
• Finally, one day a band of Cos
sacks rode up. grabbed us and cor
vahed us into a bullpen some 20
feet square. Into this they set a
galvanized wash tub, along with
water and a hunk of reindeer
meat. This tub was our cooking
pot. Then they shoved in loaves
of black rye bread three feet long.
| This is what we had to eat until
released.
‘‘It cost us $125 to get a telegram
i through to Nome, although we were
! only a few hundred miles from that
point. The wire had to go all the
i way through Russia, around to
New York and back to Nome. It
read: ‘We are in jail; send the
Arctic or the 3ear.’
| “Finally the Arctic showed up,
we loaded aboard and returned to
Nome. In return for what the
Russians had taken in the form of
our provisions, we were handed
i three-foot strips of paper money,
i printed something after the man
| ner of movie tickets. Its denom
j inations ran from 50 rubles to 5,000
| rubles. As far as value was con
cerned, there was no difference

I between a 10,000 ruble cut and a
[ one kopek cut. It wasn’t worth a

“Back in 1921, I sought to re- |
! cover my 80 ounces of gold. I hired
a fishing boat to land me at St. |
Nicholas Bay, and sent out a part
ner with dog sled to cross the
I mountains and lift the cache.
“The country is now given over
\ to reindeer herders, and they con- !
! sider white men along with wolves'
| and other predatory animals. My i
| emmissary soon learned that he ‘
I was a poor insurance risk, and
! turned back. I lost the dogs and
sled, but we got away without a :
fight.
“Now, if there is anyone who'
wishes a real adventure, I will tell;
him right where that 80 ounces of j
gold is cached. It is not difficult
to find.
“We worked a little bench about
two feet in depth. Owing to the
fact that they would not allow any
j thing but long toms and rockers,
: we took out the gold by stripping
| the alluvial and with two three- I
| gallon buckets and a neck yoke, j
I packed it to the rocker. Even un- |
; der this crude method it, was a poor j
j day when we did not get more:
! than $15.”
PAIR or PANTS FOUND
If the person who left a pair c£
! pants near the chicken coop of
I Jack Prosser will call for them,
; same will be returned without
; charge. However, due to one of
Jick’s dogs ripping out a large
: piece from the seat, and blood
spots here and there on the gar
, ment, a little mending will be nec
essary. If the prowler had broken
through the first line of defense
he would have run into some heavy
artillery, it is reported.

ARE PRESENTING PLAY
“The Love Expert” will be pre
sented at the auditorium of the
Seward high school on Tuesday,
May 17, by this year’s graduating
class. The play, a comedy in three
acts, is written by John Kirkpat
rick and comprises a cast of 10
players—five girls and five boys.
All members of the Senior class
have been assigned parts and as
the class has only nine members,
they have called upon one of the
Junior girls to take a part.
This play is full of action and
humor for, when the “Love Ex
pert,” Miss Alice, and her fiance,
“Mr. Love Super Expert,” each
choose a different suitor as the one
the heroine should marry, some
thing is bound to happen.
Advertising always should b e
considered as a business enterprise
and not as a magic formula for
unearned success.
