Research Taken Into Camp
 By Officials

The British steamer Research, which cleared for Dawson from St, Michael, was seized after making the trip up the Koyukuk in search of the probably mythical Midas creek and will be sold at auction by United States customs ot-
 icials.
 The Research is charged with violat- ing the revenue laws of the United States It is not believed that she was seized by the passengers as it was said that she would be. That story, it is thought, was promulgated for the pro tectiOu of the steamers owners. The fact that the Research also had paSsen- gers for the Upper KOyukuk and deliv- cred them within a few miles of Bet tles, -is taken to indicate that she sailed for the deliberate purpose of doing business between American ports in violation of the law.
