lucky gold hunters lost no time in getting down to business. One went back to the cache for supplies, and the other set to work to build rocker, or cradle, as some placer diggers call it. When the rocker was finished the two miners worked as hard as they could, realizing that the short Alaskan season was well under way. They stopped only to make occasional trips back to the beach for supplies, and spent all the rest of their time banning the rich gravel.
 They had been at it about two weeks and had washed out something more than $3, GOO worth of rough gold, when one day when they quit work about noon to pre- pare dinner they were ambushed by h. dians who had tracked them from the beach. The Indians opened fire from be- hind clump of bushes near the camp. One of the miners was killed at the first fire, but the other escaped unhurt. As he saw his companion fall he dashed into the short timber on the western slope beyond his camp and raced up the divide. The Indians sent a shower of bullets after him, but not one touched him, and he managed to elude them all and get back to the cache. It didn't take him long to tumble some provisions into his canoe and push out into the channel. Hard paddling soon put him out of rifle range from the shore, and he had chance to ease up and take stock.
 He was safe and sound, and he figured that he had provisions enough to take him back to Sitka, where ho could organize party, return to the diggings, avenge his comrade and wash out a fortune. So he shaped his course as he supposed, so that 1t would bring him to Sitka. But the prospectors had travelled devious way from the little old Alaskan capital. They had stopped at several islands and crossed and recrossed the winding, tortuous chan nels, and the survivor of the attack of tho Indians on the Rocker diggings, as he aft erward called them, soon found that he was lost in the intricacies of the ever changing courses. At last he was picked up by gunboat bound down from tho Boring sea to Puget sound. He was land ed in Port Townsend with something more than $1, 500 in coarse gold, which he carried slowed in a leather belt around his waist It was his share of the two weeks work at the Rocker. In similar belt around the waist of his dead comrade there was as much more.
 Promptly the miner started back to Sit ka. There he told the story of the murder of his companion, but the showing of gold he made and his description of the fabu lous riches of the little stream where he got it made the hardy miners forget the danger, and a party was quickly organ ized to recover and work the Rocker. Aft CT great hardships the expedition failed, as did all those which have since followed it.
 As season after season rolls by the story grows. At the winter headquarters of tho miners in Juneau the prospectors roll it un der their tongues as they shift their quids Every season one expedition at least starts out half hopelessly and expecting to be jeered. Sometimes two or three start, some from Sitka and some from Juneau. As each one comes back empty handed the story of the mine they hunt grows Large

( YALE WHICH ANNUALLY INTERESTS
 ALASKAN MINERS.

The Hunt For Fabulously Rich Placer
 Diggings, Lost Through an Indian Att
 tack-A Story That Grows as Season Aft
 CT Season Rolls By
 When it finally quit showing at Juneau in the latter part of May and then In dians and old settlers were willing to ad- init that the unusually long Alaskan win ter was at last broken among the many expeditions fitted out by miners and pros pectors was one bound on a search for the long lost and fabulously rich Lost Rocker" claim. Every summer at least one party fits out at Juneau to hunt for it. Usually there are several searching parties, and occasionally some adventur ous prospeotor starts out of Sitka and drops down across Chatham straits, hop ing by going as nearly as he can in the di rection taken by the prospectors who found the Rocker to come again on the lost gold mine. The Rocker is tradition in Alaskan mining towns now, and each year, as the season goes by and none of the searchers finds it, the stories of its vast riches grow and increase in number.
 It was in the spring of 1876 that the only two men who ever saw the Rocker left Sitka on the prospecting trip which has started out all the subsequent parties. They were looking for placer diggings, and they meant to strike the mainland somewhere down toward Fort Wrangel. Their big canoe was well stocked, and they took their time, exploring the is lands along their route and prospecting as they went along The islands didn't show much "color however, and along in the early summer they crossed Chatham straits and coasted along the mainland until they : came to the mouth of a creek The creek bed gave evidence to their experienced eyes of the presence of tho metal for which they were searching It was strewn with quartz, and the gravel showed good "color'' for every pan.
 The two prospectors pitched their camps and began work The gravel always banned ''color," but it wasn't rich enough for them, so they cached their store, pulled out their boat and pushed up stream, climbing over big powders and smashing through the heavy underbrush until they reached the head waters of the creek. From there they went on to the top of the divide. Beyond and below stretched broad basin, in which lay a beautiful little lake. A small stream emp tied into the lake, coming down from the east, and another flowed out of it toward tho north. The prospectors went down the slope of the divide to the lake and camped near the stream which flowed down the eastern slope
 The stream had a gravel bottom, and tho first wash showed the miners that the, had struck a bonanza The gravel yielded coarse gold the size of bean and always washed more than $1 to the pan. The
