AORIFT ON ICE
 IN BERING SEA
Party of Three Beyond Hope of Rescue---The Policy
 Family Saved.
Nome God Digger. Feb. IS.

Far out in the ice fields of Bering sea. huGdled together for warmth and mutual protection, on tiny ice foe, is little band consisting of one white man, two natives and six dogs. With slight hope ol rescue from any earthly source, there is nothing for them to look forward to but death in its mos, terrible and agonizing form.
 The lit,le party was attempting to reach the mainland from St. Michael Island last Monday in a small boat, when suddenly their frail craft was caught in the ice and crushed like an ega shell. The men and dogs were seen to crawl onto small ice foe, which in a short time dr.fted out of sight. No hing has been seen of the un- fortunate men since.
 POLTEY FAMILY RESCUED.
 ThomaS Pol ey and family, who were swept out to sea on Jan. %, managed 10 reach Egg Island, and, after almost famishing from hunger, they were rescued last Saturday.

 PROSPECT WORK

Monroe & Lindsay, on Hoosier creek. lave been very for,unat. in their prospecting work this winter. They have get en holes to bedrock on No. 5 and eight on No. IA.
 Strange as it may appear, the mild winter has been most lavora- be to prospecting OF "wet' creeks. On Hoosier water is always run ming on bedrock, ard in very cold weather when hole was put down the underground drainage would be stopped by the frost and water would force itself into the hole, at the place of least resistance. This winter the hole itself would freeze, but the unfIo2en gravel near by afforded vent for the water ard the hole remained dry.
 Prospecting this winter has de termined a paystreak from 50 10 80 feet wide. T1e distance to bedrock is from 6 to I2 feet Notwittstand ing the bedrock uncovered ha. been very sparse, he amount of gold SC cured in prospecting has been of immense importance. Five thou, sand feet of outside fir lumber has been bought and paid for, which is more than enough to put their ditch in thorough repair, and other ex- penses have been met from this source.

WATER PROBLEM
 MAY BE SOLVED

F. C. Henry is "viewing" the ground in order to determine the minor requirements for bringing water from Hootlanana onto Pio- neer and the rich bars and tributa- ries of that stream. The present work can hardly be called a pre- llminary survey. but will be stuff cient to form a base for roughly calculating the expense and length of time necessary to complete this important enterprise. MT. Henry's efforts are directed by H. F. Thumm.
 Well-informed miners believe that by tunnelling through the di- vide a distance not to exceed a quarter of a mile ditch could be made which would afford a good supply of water, and that the enor- nous pressure which could be ob- tained would make it possible to work an immense area of rich ground at little cost. Water could also be syphoned onto Glen.

PROSPECT ON PIGEM
 GIVES GOOD PROMISE

Radigan and Grove recently sue ceeded in reaching bedrock at a depth of 24 feet on Pigem creek. Notwithstanding water immediately came in and was uncomfortable, they secured a S2 50 piece and a lot of small colors.
 Pigem comes into Hootlanana at discovery. Like the larger creek, it is wet" and has heretofore re mained untested. The recent rich find on discovery, Hootlanana, adds importance to this fine pros pect on Pigem, and it is predicted that something good will be devel- oped there.

Shrubsall before the British nssocla-
tion, Sufferers from tonsilitis, rheuma-
tism and heart disease are of higher
stature, and sufferers from tuberculo-
Sis, nervous and malignant diseases of
lower stature than healthy individ-

1t appears that blond sufferers from

IN diseases of the heart the positions
