PROSPECTORS
 FROM THE HOSIANA

John Case and Gilbert DeYoung ar rived few days ago from the. head waters of Hosiana river, where they prospected last winter.
 Their labors were principally on trib- utaries of the extreme left-hand fork, which heads near Dall river. They got poor prospects.
 Kaminski, of Dawson, is prospecting somewhere along the long ridge that divides the Hosiana from the Dall. He took in provisions last fall and expects to spend the summer there. The slopes of this ridge contain immense gravel bars, to which Kaminski is probably dovoting his attention. Messrs. Case and DeYoung searched for him on their way out; but they could not locate him.

The Clipping. A MINING VISITOR
Tells of Rampant on the Little Mi nook-He Is Looking for
 a Wife.

One of the lucky few prospectors in bleak Alaska, is A. H. Monroe, who is now visiting with our townsman John G. Symington, 1914 Sacramento street Mir. Monroe's success was only attained after experiences of great hardships and the customary adventures of the pioneer prospector, and continued all through a period of seven long years, or until the town of Rampant was established and found prominent place in the mining world Curiously enough the booming of Rampant on the Little Minook began before so much as four ounces of the yellow metal was discovered in that section. The transportation companies for some unexplained reason started the boom which has eventuated in the pros perity and development of this rich mining district.
 Mir. Monroe is rich with information concerning the country, and his steady persistence in quest of gold has likewise resulted in rich returns of the precious metal.
 He owns outright half dozen valua- | l. .1. n1 more, and using his own language, ''it took me five years of tough experience to acquire them; the other two years of my stay in the country has been com paratively easy, for l have been super intending the working of my richest claim. In fact my reasons for coming out at this time is to complete the or ganization of company with a capital of $5Oo, 900 to work the claims, and to purchase a complete hydraulic mining outfit which I will take back with me in the spring. Of the capital stock s335, 900 is already paid up. The secretary of the company is <. P. Robbins, who, together with two of the directors, J. A. E. Win gate, and C. II. Ehrhorn, remain at Rampant to look after the property. As vice president and general manager of the company l think may safely say that the claim which we are so largely developing Is the best paying one SO far

EMMETT CAUGHT
Criminal Took Long Chances and Narrowly Missed Giving the
 Coroner a Job.

James T. Emmett, who escaped from the federal jail at Eagle with Paul C.. Burkal May :, was recaptured at Ram part last Saturday night.
 The capture was not without sensa- tional features, and Emmett is lucky to again be behind the bars with whole skin.
 Deputy Marshal John F. Drake had received tip that the man had passed Fort Yukon in a small boat. In order that he might not slip by under cover of the half darkness, the deputy mar shal and Commissioner Green crossed the river and laid in wait. Not long after II o'clock Emmett hove in sight. When he was hailed and told to pull ashore he said he was tangled up in a drift, and as quick as he could get loose he would land.
 Meanwhile the current was bearing the fugitive rapidly away; and suddenly he brought the oars into play and the boat fairly flew over the water. Pursuit was given, with Commissioner Green rowing. Emmett was between the off cers and town, and the deputy marshal would not fire for fear of striking some innocent person. The distance between the two boats was gradually lessened, and when they passed John Clintons, the last house at the lower end of town, they were scarcely two hundred yards apart.
 Deputy Drake told the man to heave to or he would fire. Emmett bent over as if to pick up something from the bottom of the boat. The officer fired with rifle and the fugitive tumbled off the seat. The bullet struck the edge of the boat and is said to have carried Emmett's coat pocket away. He said the concussion knocked him over. He did not TOW any more and was soon overhauled. It is believed he dropped a gun overheard.

 Mir Monroe nonchalantly pulled out of his pocket gold nugget taken iron his find" that goes 1912 fine at the mint, but up in the Rampant country they let the produce go for Is fne Thi. particular nugget is valued at $6475.
 For the writer's delectation MT. Mon roe also brought forth vial of coars, gold valued at $36, both of these sample. were taken from his Little Minool claim in April and May of this year.
 Mir. Monroe's home is at Rio Vista from whence he went north seven year, ago. He goes to San Francisco on Sat urday, and for a while will make ire quent visits between that city and hi: home town. Eventually he will visi Los Angeles, continue on to Denver, ant finally bring up at New York and othel eastern cities.
 Mir. Monroe is not unlike many othei prospeetors we have so often read about He is single man, and in this he differ, only from the others that he had no ''left girl behind him" to whom h, had promised his hand in marriage a, soon as he "struck it rich" and he is no at all backward in saying, but rathel cherishes the utterance that he is actu ally looking for wife" to take bacl with him in the spring.
 Since fortune has favored him in hi quest for this worlds goods, it woul, seem that a wife to ''love and to cherish is wish that nigh, easily be gratifie,l

A Bad Record.

Emmett k considered bad character, He and Thornton were put in jail at Panama last August, charged with horse stealing. They escaped; but were re- captured and taken to Fairbanks. Later Emmett escaped along with Peroyich, the condemned murderer. Peroyich was soon jailed again, but Emmett remained at liberty some time. His partner Thornton was one of the men who so nearly killed Jailor Peterson at Fair banks few months ago, and who cut his own throat tn an attempt at suicide when he was rearrestcd later.
