 Hunting is good in the Duncan re- 'gion. Late arrivals report that the miners are getting all the moose they desire. X large number of these ani- malls seem to be feeding in the district, and fresh meat can be obtained at al- most any time. Rabbits are also very plentiful and can be snared by the hun dreds. .-
 Dog feed is short in the Duncan dis trict, dog bacon going at 40 cents Q pound: rice sells for 25 cents Q pound; good bacon costs "a cents. The road. houses.on the trail to the creek charge sl.5O meal. The trail is in good con- dition.
 Five boilers are in operation on the
 
 creek. Two others are being taken by Jim Butler from the mouth of -Clear creek.to Duncan. He is going to work on the hillsides. !'

A FAILURE.
Prospecting in the Koyuk
 River Section.

According to reports received at Council City the Koyuk river, which has attracted more or less attention for the past two or three years, is not at all promising as mineral section, but those who spent the winter in that section express their intention of re- turning to it and continuing work. Among these are J. F. Maede and G.. Schwartz, who sank hole to a depth of l40 feet on an old channel of the koyuk, but did not reach bedrock. The gravel was frozen solid, and at a depth of 50 feet strata of decomposed porphyry was encountered. Sinking through this, gravel was again discov- cred, and the shaft was continued down as far as it was deemed safe. but, as stated, bedrock was not reached.
 Mir. Maede states that only a very few microscopic coOrs were found in the gravel, but good prospects were found on the surface of a little draw about lOO feet closer to the rim Of the old channel on which they were work ing. Sinking. on the spot where these prospects were found revealed the fact that the gold-bearing streak was only a few inches in thickness, and the strata could not, by any stretch of imagina- tion. be termed paystreak.
 There is plenty of timber in the country, but it is stunted in size and of little use except for firewood. There is DO game in the country beyond d few ptarmigan. The men who wintered in this section of country were: Messrs. Ed. Maloney, Shagnon, Bouchard, Jef- ferson, Geo. Kesner, H. Schwartz and J. F. Maede.

one does not wonder that the country is filled with cripples.
 The disasters of the winter of 1900 killed all his companions. who were located with him north of Teller. Many were lost in the blizzards, some died of hunger, and many others succumhed to the cold.
 During these days Dieter recorded the temperature readings The aver age is 40 degrees below zero He de. vised unique method of determining the extreme temperature. Mercury fro2e at 39 degrees below zero, at 60 degrees below his can of kerosene would burst, at 72 degrees below his bottle of pain killer, which every Alas kan prospcctor cherishes, would 20 pop, and when the whisky turned solid he knew that the temperature had reached the limit of termnation-that it was so degrees below zero.
 Deiter tells one pitiful story of the killing of one of his companions and the injuring of another. The two set out on a three-quarter of mile journey across the ice. They had scarcely started when blizzard swooped down on them. They lost their way, being unable to see q foot ahead of them selves. For five weeks they wandered about in the ice and snow. At night they buried themselves in the snow for protection. They ate the roots and buds of reindeer moss. At last they fell faint from hunger and exposure. The older of the two men died. The lost his reason. The dead body and the crazy man were found by Il relief expedition, but the survivor never has regained his senses.
