GOLD FINDS ON
COPPER RIVER
Returning Party Reports
Discoveries.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, Jan. 27.-To-day's ar
rivals from Copper River are the first
to come since last fall. Some of them
had been three months at Valdes wait
ing for a steamer. The last party
from the interior left Copper Center on
December 1. They are A. P. Wedum of
Glasgow, Mont; John Eckland, Hay
nan, Wis; J. r. Marshall Mexico, Mo-,
and Nels Hyland, Appleton, Wis. They
penetrated the interior as far as
Catcham Stockades, a branch of the
Forty Mile River. They crossed the
Tananu Valley, but heard of no gold
strikes. They have been travelling
toward the coast since August 1.
DR.. w. L. Lewis of Chicago says
there is considerable scurvy in the in
terror. Thomas Hunt of Detroit, Mich,
has been i'll with the disease at Valdes.
DR.. Lewis established hospital on
the other side of Valdes glacier. 1t
has a number of patients. A number of
men who were frozen have had their
limbs amputated. There are several
destitute men at Valdes who have no
means of returning to the United
States.
c. Eruce, formerly Of Tacoma, said ::
After getting into the interior we
found there were some sixty MasonS
in the country, and we at once decided
to form an association for mutual ben
eft. I was elected president; B. G..
Levroos of ST. Paul vice-preSident; !;
Herbert Smith of New York treasurer,
and Ii. e. Pierson of Denver travelling
manager.
One of the members of the associa-
tion made a discovery late in October
that will startle the world. He stumbled
across a small creek in his wanderings.
The indications were unfavorable, but
he began to prospect. Inside of a week
he took out over 5000 in gold. He came
at once to the Masonic headquarters at
Copper Center and told the members
of the find. In small parties enough
Masons went in to stake a claim for
every member.
"Talkill Creek is a tributary of the
Tonsina River over seventy-five men
all are taking out gold. Marker Creek,
also running into the Tonsina, has
proved the bonanza of the district. On
claim So, above Discovery, which is the
most developed, rs cents to the pan is
being taken out. There are Sixty-five
men on the creek. About 200 men have
claims in the vicinity of Mount Drum.
They are located on small creek and
are taking out from Is to 25 cents to the
pan, although they have not yet
reached bedrock. A new discovery is
Quartz Creek, a branch of the Tonsina,
| on which 100 men are working.
1.-The Masons have been very lucky
in the Copper River country. None
| have been frozen and but one has died.
We are united very strongly and the
Masonic Creek is sure to pay big
money"
Reports from Juneau say that new
lake has been discovered a short dis
| tance in the interior from Lynn Canal.
| 1t has been named Walker Lake, after
/ its discoyerer, G. w. Walker The
creeks emptying into it are said to
contain much gold. On one small creek
named Bonanza, Walker, it is stated,
got an average of 81 to the pan.

PISTOL PERSUASION
INDUCES A WEDDING
Santa Rosa Student Forced by an
Irate Father to Become a
Benedick.

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 2.-Miss Lillian
Dillingham;, young lady well known in
this community, applied to the County
Clerk Tuesday afternoon for a marriage
license. She said the young man who
proposed to take her for his wife be-
came timid, and that she had taken the
arranging of preliminaries into her own
hands. The person whose name she
claimed was TO be linked with hers is
Charles A. Linebaugh, a student at the
Santa Rosa Business College, and a resi-
dent of this county. She was given the
paper and proceeded to the Magnolia
Hotel. From there. she caused a mes
sage to be dispatched to young Linebaugn
at the college, stating that his father
was at the hotel and desired to see him.
When the young man, who was all
conjecture as to what his parent wanted,
arrived at the hotel he was confronted
by minister and an rate papa, in whose
possession was an ugly looking pistol to
back up a stern request that Limbaugh
marry Miss Dillingham;. he surround
ings suggested no other course and the
student allowed the ceremony to take
place.
To-day in the Superior Court a suit was
brought to annul the marriage on the
ground that 1t was induced by threat and
was Illegal.

GENERAL G. S. GREENE
DIES OF OLD AGE
Served With Distinction In Many
Battles During the Civil
War

NEY YORK, Jan. 28-General G. s.
Greene died of old age at Morristown, N.
j., at 1 o'clock this morning. He leaves
three sons-General Francis V. Greene,
C. j. Greene Jr. and Major Charles T.
Greene, U. S. A, retired.
General Greene was graduated at the
United States Military Academy at West
Point in 1923. He served in various gar
risons and as instructor at West Point
until 1886, when he left the army and be-
came civil engineer, building many rail-
roads. He entered the army in 1862 as
colonel of the Sixtieth New York Regi-
ment, and was appointed brigadier gen
eral of volunteers April 2S, 1862.
He commanded his brigade at Cedar
Mountain August 10, 1862 and was in COM
mand of the second division of the One
Hundred and Twentieth Army Corps in
the battle of Antietam. AT Gettysburg
on the night of July 2, 1862 with a part of
his brigade, he held the right wing of the
Potomac at Culps Hill against more than
division of Confederate troops, there
by averting a disaster. He was trans
ferred to the Western armies in Septem-
ber, 1868, and in an engagement near
Chattanooga, October 2S, 1863, was dan
gerously wounded in the jaw. This wound
disabled him from active service until
January, 1865, when he rejoined Sher-
mans army in North Carolina and par
ticipated in the engagements preceding
Johnson's surrender.

frozen before they reached the sum
init of the glacier. He decided his only
hope was to turn back. Soon after he
left the party a terrible blizzard swept
over the glacier obliterating all trails
and making travel impossible. He
probably lost his way and perished.
AT any rate he never reached Twelve
mile camp, the only place of refuge
for miles around.
George Poalowitz OF the Manhattan
Mining Company Of New York was the
fourth member to be badly frozen. He
returned on the Cottage City to-day in
charge of DR.. Lewis of Chicago He
will lose the greater part of both feet
and is in danger of losing his life from
blood poisoning. He would not let DR..
Lewis amputate his feet in the north.
He said:
TT was bitter cold, and for four days
we wandered around the glacier, trying
to find our way down. We had little
food. as we were going out for sup
plies. The other four members of the
Manhattan Company were waiting on
short rations at the foot of the lake. I
do not know what will become of them
now that Krohn is dead, and I am here

was blacksmith at Valdez for a long
time. He started across the glacier
early in the winter, drawing a heavy
sled. The details of his death are un-
known, for he was alone. He never
reached the other side
The miners who arrived on the Cot
tage City say that many others per-
ished like Sweesey. They are unable
to give names. The men starting out
in pairs or singly were never heard of
again.
