adventures OF W0I0QfS0n k1R0 IN tn0
Land Of the Perfumed Ok.
VIcroRIA, March o. = Especial. War
burton Pike, the young English sportsman
whose home is here, and who left to hunt
musk-ox in the great Arctic desert two
years ago. reached home today. He de-
clines to talk much about his adventures,
saying that close squeak from death by
starvation was the most exciting
thing that happened during the
trip. This was on the return,
when with two white companions
he had started to walk across the noun
tains hundred miles to Stuart's Lake.
The guides mistook the Nation for Nc
Leod, with the result they were lost.
The supplies ran out, there was no game
and for sixteen days their shoes were all
the party had to eat. With frozen feet
they continued their tramp back and
finally reached their starting place, worn
to skeletons but still all alive.
Pike says, in comparing his enforced
fast with that of the entoomed Pennsyl-
yania miners, that be considers his escape
even more remarkable than theirs, as they
were not moving about, while he and his
companions were forced to keep going or
freeze. Within the Arctic circle
q number Of musk oxen were
killed, and on the shores of the Great Slave
lake, buffalo were met with. In this
far off corner of the globe these old
monarrhs Of the prairies are increasing
and multiplying undisturbed by the
trophy hunter, or even the Indians, for the
Hudson's Bay Company, to protect them,
have refused to buy the robes.
Pike spent some time on the great fish
river, where the Frankiin's party were
lost, and enjoyed the fleetng but almost
tropical summer of two months duration
there. He was the first man to cross the
headwaters of the Coppermine, and brings
hack many curious mementoes of his long
trip.

PORTLAND, March N.-[Special. PROBES
sor Rook, who makes business Of teach
ing people how. to detect counterfeit
greenbacks, is in trouble. Special Agent
OF the Treasury Department Mulkey came
over from Port Townsend and yestecday
seized and carried away all the counterfeit
bills which Professor Rook uses in his
business. The collection comprises every
kind of counterfeit greenbacks ever issued,
the face value of them being about $13, 900.
The collection, it is claimed, owing to the
time and money spent in making it and its
necessity to Rook in his business, is worth
5000. Such teachers are allowed under
certain restrictions in regard to registering
the counterfeit notes and by obtaining
an authorization from the secretary of the
treasury to have counterfeit bills in their
possession. Rook has such a document,
have vouched for his good character, but it
appears some new law has been made
affecting his line of business, and he has
net complied with its requirements,
wherefore Agent Mulkey has carried off
his bogus bills. Rook threatens to carry
the matter to the court, but his friends say
he will get the property back in time with
out making trouble.
TACOMA, March 24.-[Special. Especial
Agent of the Treasury Department Null
key this evening brought to this city from
Portland $4,000 in counterfeit money
ranging from S. to $50. The bills were
taken from Professor B. Rook Saturday
night. Mulkey has been watching Rock
for ten days, with view of detecting him
passing the counterfeits. Rook says his
business is teaching bank clerks and 9TH
ers how to detect false money from genu-
inc, and threatens to bring suit to recover
the money seized, claiming he needs it in
his business. United States Marshal
Brown will forward the counterfeit money
to the treasury department.
