(Juneau Empire)
A search for two prospectors from
Juneau, which has been made by the
coast guard ship Unalga along the
coast from Yakutat to Yakataga
point has proven unsuccessful and the
men have been given up as missing.
J. G. Johnston and Jerry McGraw,
who left Juneau last August to pros
pect in the vicinity of Icy bay, are
the two men. Since their arrival at
Icy bay on September first, they have
not been seen and no trace of them
can be found.
McGraw and Johnston left Juneau
last August and on August 28 left
Yakutat for Icy bay to prospect. At
Yakutat they gave out that they
were looking for a location for a cold
storage plant for the New England
Fishing company, but their real ob
ject was gold. On September first
they reached Icy bay and established
their camp. Afc.tfcit time George Fel
ton and ChaAta ittsel, of Yakataga,
were with th&ft'and helped them to
get settled.
When Wittsell and Felton left they
told the men if they had to come out
to take the trail to Yakataga and
pointed it out to them. The men were
warned not to attempt to make the
trip in their dory as the water along
that coast is very treacherous and
there is no harbor for many miles.
One of the fishing boats of the New
England company went into Icy bay
with supplies for the men during the
winter, but were unable to locate
them. On January 15, Felton and
Wittsell again visited the camp of the
men and found it deserted. It had
been deserted for about a month at
that time.
On January 27 the Unalga left
Yakutat and visited Icy Bay. She
cruised along the shore as far as Yak
ataga point looking for the men but
were unable to find any trace of them.
The supposition is that the two either
thought they could make it all right
in their dory, or that one of the men
was ill or hurt which made it impossi
ble for them to walk out. The dis
tance fro pi Icy bay to Yakataga is
about 40 miles and there is a good
trail the entire distance.
Both men are well known in south
eastern Alaska. Johnston has been
around Juneau for a number of years
and at one time was a partner with
George K. Gilbert. McGraw came
here from Ketchikan, where he had
been engaged in the fishing business
for a number of years. He owned his
own gasoline boat and was one of
the beet-known fishermen in that sec
tion. Both were experienced boatmen.
They were in Juneau for several
months last summer before leaving
for Icy bay, getting their outfit as
sembled.

THOUGHT HE HAD MONEY
BECAUSE HE { ATE EGGS
The town wit sprung a new one this
morning that is worthy of space in
Puck. After a light breakfast at home
(he is a chronic dyspeptic) of Scotch
oatmeal, Scotch scenes and Battle
Creek Postum, he left for his daily du
ties at the down town office and was
not in the best of humor. In his walk
down Fourth avenue he noticed a gen
tleman coming from the Frisco cafe
who had all the appearances of a plu
tocrat, a veritable Rockefeller. This
golden appearance was not noticeable
on account of the cut or style of his
clothes as they were of the “I used to
be $10, now take for for $9.98” variety
nor did he wear a Stetson, but notice
able was the golden smear of $1.00
per eggs caroming from the comers
of his mouth and the general scram
bled eg(g)otistical swagger of the
man who was an absolute stranger to
the local wit. He, the wit, ever on
the look out for business accosted the
stranger and piloted him to his real
estate office and told of the glorious
future of Anchorage and the prospects
city property. The stranger was forced
to listen long and courteously to the
rosy description of ‘‘good buys” when
the important question of ready mon
ey was advanced. The stranger hum
bly acknowledged that he was not in
the market for city real estate and
that he was comparatively poor in
this world’s goods. He further said
that he was anything but a Rockefel
lefV'The witty real estateer came back
and said: “Well, if you aren’t you
should wipe the remnants of egg off
your chin or you will be hauled up be
fore the judge to pay income tax.”
