No Very Rich Ground Has Been Found, But the Prospects
 Are Encouraging.

F. w. Dunham, recorder for the KOyuk district, in the Norton bay country. came up from that place on Saturday. Mr. Dunham says that . good deal of prospecting is under way on Koyuk creeks, and while nothing phenomenal has been found those who are working are satisfied with the out. look. Prospectors are staying with tho country, and are getting in supplies to continue their work. This means that at all events they are taking out grub stakes for the winter.

NOAH'S ARK It Has Not Been Located in the Koyukuk. A Silly Fake Story That Gained Credence on the Great
 Outside.

Portland, Or, July 26.-A dispatch from Dawson, Y. T., says: "The start ling story of the discovery of pre- historic vessel of gigantic size in the interior of Alaska, POO miles from Cold. foot, which was published throughous the United States several weeks ago, is q myth. The story originated at koyubuk, where it was claimedt0 have first been told by Indians, and was in effect that vessel, half a mile long, ofevident prehistoric construction, had been found reposing on mountain tops 300 miles in the interior Investigation was at once started from Dawson, and Dr. NJ. F. Howe, a leading business. man, who was impressed with the im- portance of the find, volunteered to make the journey. He sent the mes. sage from COldfoot that the message was bald fake, adding that the relics and souvenirs which were said to have been removed from the antediluvian monster at Coldfoot cannot be found. Dr. Cleveland denies the report that ho was to start roadhouse in the my thical vessel. The story is ascribed to the activity of missionaries among the natives, who had been told of the history of Noah's ark, and at once set out to find it. Not wishing to adrnit failure, they declared that they had discovered the vessel"

K0UGAR0K A Resume of the Work
 Being Done. Banner Claim of Dahl Creek Is Owned By Jerry GaIvin...WOrk
 on Other Creeks.

Gold in considerable quantities is be- ing taken from creeks in different sec tions of the Kougarok district, but on many creeks work has been delayed and hampered by a lack of water, while on few others the opposite has been the case.
 Nos. l, ? and 3 or Dahl creek are in better shape than ever before, but water has been scarce. Jerry Galvin's claim, Mo. l, is probably the banner claim of that section, so far as has been discovered. No. ?, owned by N. P. Olson and Griff Yarnall, is also fine one, and so is No. 3, owned by Martin Dahl and others. Little work has been done on the other claims on the creek. Considerable prospecting has been done on the benches and good pay has been located in several places, and the only thing that prevents their develop ment is water.
 Some money is being taken out on Harris creek, but here, too, water is scarce. Three claims are being worked and all are showing up well. The creek on which the most work is being done, says A. D. Nash, who came down from that section Sunday, is Homestake, a tributary of the main I'KOugarok. Fair results are being ob- tained. Seven claims are being worked and all are yielding more or less pay. On Nos. l and ? Arizona creeky Mike Hurley, Lee Marshall, A. Armstrong and Charles Merritt are at work, and the results obtained are said to be satis- factory.

with liver complaint and kidney trou-
BILE which was fast fastening him to
the grave. The Doctors gave him up
and his friends and neighbors all de-

His brother came from Minneapolis
to see him before he died and in
quiz ed If ne had tried Dodd's Kidney

On being told that this remedy had
not been used he went out at once
Ind bought a box, feeling satisfied
from what he knew of Dodd's Kidney
Pills and the noble work they had
been doing in Minnesota, that they
would save his brothers. life.
The first two days Mr.. Vahlberg
seemed to grow worse, but after that
he gradually improved under the
