Gardner and Thomas suspected the others were on the scent and were coming with the object of learning the whereabouts of their find and returned to camp.

The most encouraging reports from the Porcupinc country are being re. ceived here almost daily and he indi cations now are that it is going to be the scene of great activity during the season which is now just opening. Por- cupine is perhaps the best district in Alaska today for the man with limited means who wants to prospect. While it was discovered two years ago and has had considerable attention paid to it ever since. ;herc remains a big DOT ton which has not been investigated. The discoveries thus far made show the country to be rich, and there IS certain to be a large amount of gold taken out this year.
 Owing to its comparative accessi- -bility it can be reached without much expense and the stores are we'll stock ed with everything needed which is sold at reasonable prices, SO that those going in can procure their outfits here and take them along with them.

1T IS or A MILD TYPE
The Trouble Is Among tho Natives and They Arc Strictly Confined to n suburb-skagway VIII Take Action to Provont tho Afiiiotion From Reaching This Port

There are many cases of genuine smallpox at Sitka, and the report pub. ished in the Daily Alaskan some days ago did not overState the situation in the least. In fact it did not paint the situation as hadlv as it is. The di- seaoe is prevalent among the Indians. but two whites have taken it. The authorities at that place, who have been triling with the matter. are now fully alive to the situation and every precaution known 10 the medical pro- iession is being exercised to stamp it out. Notwithstanding this the disease seems to have made hcadway.
 Dr. Moore, who was sent by repre- sentative bodies and men Of this city. to investigate the disease at Sitka which has been termed chickenpox, re- turned last night He says the disease is smallpox. but that it does not exist m a very virulent form and that no deaths are resulting. Until he had re- ported to ;hose who sent him he did not feel like entering into the matter extensively. He examined many of the patients in company with Dr. Leon- hart. the government physician station ed at Juneau. and they both agreed as 10 the character of the malady. They prepared a statement of facts. which the latter forwarded to Dr. Foster, the quarantine officer at Pt. Townsend
 In the communication they recom- mended that the government take such steps as necessary to prevent the ln- dians of Sitka or any other place where the disease exists. from enterinig the ports of Southeastern Alaska, and thus carrying the germs of the dread di- sease: also to restrict the migrations , of them as much as practical.
 The Indians at Sitka are kept in close quarantine in a suburb to which the whites do not go. The government health officers have the situation well in hand and believe they will be able to conquer the disease before it has gone much further.
 The Juneau health board by ordi- nance. has power 10 deal with the mat ter, and yesterday at a meeting ot the citizens it was practically agreed to in- stitue an effectual quarantine against Indians This precautionary measure is deemed 10 be sufficient to prevent the disease coming there.
 The Skagway city council will be got. ten together today and Dr. Moore will meet with them and tell the facts in his profession bearing upon the sub feet He thinks the situation is simple here. and believes the Keeping of the Indians out of here and the strict quar- an,ining of those already here. il it is found the Sitkas have been asSociat- ing with them. is is all that will be nee cssary to guard against the pest. It is probable that Capt. Hovey will be asked to detail squads of soldiers to patrol the waterfront.
 The Indians at Killisnoo and Hoo nah Springs are afflicted with smallpox but these settlements are made up almost exclusively of Indians and if they can be kept from travelling and commingling with whites and other ln- dians no danger will result from that quarter.
