BRAVE MEN
 SAVE LIVES
W. E. Wagner and Gus SudhOIm Saved from Drowning on
 Thursday Night.

w. F. Wagner and Gus Sudholm narrowly escaped drowning Thursday night in the surf opposite the Sesnon Co.'s warehouse. But for the timely aid extended by Julius Olsen, John Bagge and Bob Carlson of J. F. Palmer & Co.'S Beach boat house, who prompt ly launched boat, they would have perished. Wagner and Sudholm were returning from the Barbara Hernster about 6:30; the surf was high and by some mischance their boat cap sized, precipil ating both men into the boiling waves. The accident was seen from the Beach boat house and boat manned by the men named above was launched. Sudholm was got into the rescuing boat. Wagner is heavy man and Julius Olsen grabbed him in the water and being unable to get him into the boat tied d rope around him and held his head above water as we'll as he could. As the boat neared the shore Capt. G. B. Baldwin and a num- Der of other brave hearts rushed into the surf and dragged it ashore. Wag- ner was nearly unconscious, but re- storatives administered under the direction of Dr. Call quickly re- vived him. The heroic work per formed by Olsen and his companions evoked the highest praise, while cheer after cheer from the hundreds of people who had gathered on the beach blended with the roar of the surf.

REPORTED
 OIL STRIKE On the Yukon River
 Near Anyik TURNS OUT k FIzzLE
A Party of ProspectorS Return to Nome After a Long Chase
 For Petroleum.

The "oil strike which was reported up the Yukon few weeks ago was, it seems, originated in Nome, sent up the Yukon river several hundred miles, and returned on the Saddle last Wednesday in the form of three very sad looking individuals with new experience, less money and no oil.
 It seems that Arthur l.. Kurtz, a photographer at Nome last winter, told of finding crude oil up the Yukon three years ago while cutting wood for the steamers. He stated that the oil would burn and that he was told the natives used it to start fires.
 Parties in town became interested, and a company was formed to inyesti- gate the matter, kurtZ ac.ing as guide. All preparations were kept profoundly secret, only the most intimate parties receiving the tip" r. Esch. the as saver, F. ;. Bruner and F.. NJ. Andrews left for St. Michael on Jane 26 and were Joined by Kurt2 about week later, who went over with a gasoline launch. They went up the river as far as Anvik on the Sarah, thence up the Bonnaclli river 125 miles in their launch, making many trips into the surrounding swamps looking for the wonderful oil fields, and lighting mosquitos. At last the other members insisted that kurtz should take them to the spot where he found the 'ol that would burn.' This he failed to do and they gave up the chase, leaving Kurtz at Anvik with nearly q winters outfit. The other members re- turned to Nome to report to 'others in- terested in the deal" who by the way "have nothing to say for publication"
 As to the published statement that the Margaret had been chartered at St. Michael to take d party to the 'oil fields" Mr. Esch states that he was OF the dock when the steamer left St. Michael and that the boat was not loaded with stampeders as reported, and that he learned afterwards that Mir Englestad and two partners had taker passage on her for Andreafsky, where they staked several qurrtz claims il 1900. They heard of no other parties looking for oil.

THE LONG AND
 SHORT OF IT
Editor Stevens Tells How He Was Lambasted by
 J. D. JOurden.

Standing six feet four inches in his brogans and weighing 225 pounds, at least, s. H. Stevens, ''editor" of the Gold Digger, Tuesday afternoon in Judge Reeds court, told how he had been pummeled by J. D. Jourden, five feet in height and weighing less than l5O pounds. The evidence introduced at times was Imaginable, not to say tar cical Medical testimony was intro- duced to show the effects of the pum- meling on the big man. Dr. Hill, when asked If he had examined Stevens, said he had examined his face; asked if Jourden's "stub" would injure Stevens, he remarked, looking at the victim, "well, he has pretty big face." Dr. Call was asked what he considered dangerous weapon, and, looking to- wards the prosecuting witness, Stevens, he answered., Ia cannon.' The spec tators laughed, and even the court re- faxed his look of severe dignity. Dr. Rininger also gave testimony as to the force of the impact between the leather covering on the arm, worn by Jourden, and Stevens face. Other witnesses were Cdlleu, l.lCluuiuS otcNeus, WHO di- legged that when Jourden struck him he felt 'dazed." E. Coke Hill. assist ant district attorney, prosecuted, as- sisted by John McGinn, and the object of the prosecution to show that leather cap worn on the stub of Jourden's right arm was a dangerous weapon, was at times comical.
 Jourden was arrested last Thursday on complaint of Stevens, on charge of assault with dangerous weapon, as already told in this paper. The case was called on Monday morning and went over until yesterday afternoon in order to give the prosecuting witness an opportunity to subpoena all the wit nesses he thought he needed. A. J.. Daily, Judge Johnson and Albert Fink appeared for Jourden, the case being conducted by MT. Daily. Judge Reed took the case under advisement until Thursday at 10a. m.
 On Thursday Judge Reed delivered an opinion acquitting Mir. Jourden of the charge.

WOMAN WINTERS
 IN GOOD HOPE
Mrs. Hammer, an Intrepid Woman Miner, Achieves Success
 in the North.

Mrs. D. $. Hammer. who came down from Shismareif on the Saddle last week, reports prospects very favorable in that section. Eldorado and Bonanza, tributaries of Serpentine river, are promising. The pay is from Is to 20 feet from the surface, and the gravel is frozen the entire depth. Two Fin flanders, who were prospecting nearly all winter on No. Eldorado, struck pay this spring and are now taking out a dump. There is steam thawer on No. &, which was taken in last winter, and it is the only one in the district.
 Mrs. Hammer will take back a steam thwaer to open up her claim, No. 2 EldOrado; also lumber, fuel and large outfit for winter camp. She will boat her supplies up the Serpentine river as far as the mouth of Eldorado and freight them up the creek after the freeze-up.
 There are about p men prospecting in that district this summer, and as most of the stalking of the stampede of 1901 has lapsed there is a vast region open for relocation.
 w. $. Thompson, the recorder for Good Hope district, is prospecting on Dick creek this summer.
 Mrs. Hammer was the first and only white woman to winter in the Good Hope mining district, and although she endured many hardships, being over six weeks at one time without seeing a human being, she is enthusi- astic over her prospects. She has two ounces of coarse gold, the result of her pannings this spring. She spent sey- eral weeks at Hot Springs, where there was an abundance of game and eggs. While waiting for boat at Shismareif provisions were very short, all the whites at that place, like the natives, living on seal meat and tom

but he was politely but firmly told that the senators did not want to see it. w.. A. Rust tried to tell the committee that gambling was still being conduct ed but he was also turned down.
 In the afternoon Capt. J. C. Barr. J.. F. A. Strong, Peter KOkrine, an edu- cated Yukon native, and Capt. Hansen, of the Marie, talked with the commit tee on the Eskimo question and the care of the natives. John T. Reed presented a plea for an all American mail route from Homer, on Cook inlet to Nome. The committee listened with the great est interest to the various statements, and asked many questions.
 Senator Patterson took the lead in discussing mining matters and he stated that if the "Chamber of Commerce or Nome, the miners and the Bar associa- tion would formulate mining code for Alaska, it would be passed" Judge Dubose promised that this would be done, although the judge stated that he did not think there was much wrong with the present mining laws. He said that 20, GOO locations had been made in Nome district, and probably no work had been done on more than 900, and Senator Patterson remarked, law which permitted such conditions could not be right.
 Senator Nelson said that the great bane of this country seemed to be the indiscriminate location of claims that was followed, and remedy should be provided.
 The need of harborage facilities at the mouth of Snake river was presented in practical way by Capt. E w. John- son and Capt. T. l.. Morgan.
 The senatorial party sailed this af- ternoon at o'clock for Dutch Harbor.

Referring to the people he said that the finest nuggets he had seen were the people of Alaska. He also paid a high tribute to the ex- cellent observance of law and order that he had seen everywhere.
