men of Hyder were burned to death
recently at Murphy’s cabin, six miles
north of that town. The indications
are that the fire was caused by an
overheated stove but there were no
witnesses and the exact cause will
probably always remain a mystery.
The remains of the victims were not

their prolonged absence caused a
search to he made for them. Dorey

Itfection had set in before the boy
reached the doctor, but it is thought
that his life can be saved. The de
lay in reaching Bethel was due to
the fact that the accident occurred
shortly after the breakup and it was
in.possible to carry the lad overland
or to move him down to Bethel by
boat, the river being filled with ice.

U. S. Marshal H. P. Sullivan has

K) Alaska in 1898, being one of the
few Alaskans who actually made the
trip by schooner to San Frajicisco

Powder has taken the place of
steam points in placer operations
which are being conducted on the
I Idaho association at the mouth of
Eldorado creek, in the Fairbanks
district, according to U. S. Marshal
Bert Stevens, who is interested in
the ground. The use of powder for
breaking out the frozen pay gravel
In the underground workings is
very successful. Mr. Stevens says,
and makes it possible to work
ground at a minimum of cost, bring
ing under operation areas of “pay”
which could not be mined success
fully under the steam thawing pro
cess. Instead of driving steam
points into the “face”, drills are em
ployed to make holes for the powder
the same as is done in quarts min
ing. When the frozen gravel has
been broken out it is sprayed with
cold water and quickly thawed.
The body of an unknown man was
found recently on the banks of the
Yentna river about eighty miles a
bove Susitna Station. From the at
titude of the body, it seemed evl
ident that the man had come down
| the river in some craft and had been
| overturned in the treacherous wat
jer there. Apparently he had seen
the lights of the cabin of Pail Au
gust and Oscar Fagerberg and had
i tried to make the cabin when he
died. One hand was stretched be
fore him in a dying effort to make
safety. From the description it Is
believed that the remains are those
of James Carse, who has been miss
ing for some months. Carse was last
seen by a trapper named Jensen,
who outfitted Carse with a skiff and
50 pbunds of grub to enable him to
gt down the Yentna and on to An
chorage. Jensen warned Carse that
his outfit, including four doge, was
too heavy a load for the small boat
in the treacherous waters of the I
Ycntna, but Corse expressed his (
fi ith in his ability to take care of j
h.mself. He has never been heard '
of since leaving Jensen's place.
