CHASE INTO
 THE ARCTIC
Revenue Gutter ThetiS Pursuing < Notorious
 WhdIer Jeanette

The ruffianly sea bandit, Captain Newth of the whaler Jeannette whose many misdeeds were brought before the notice of the authorities by the Gold Digger last summer, is to pay the penalty of his misdeeds.
 owing to the exposure made by this raper, the war department took up the matter and early this spring issued orders to Captain Hamlet of the revenue cutter Thetis to proceed at once to the Arctic and arrest Cap tain Newtn and bring to Nome for trial.
 The unspeakable crimes perpetrat- ed by Captain Newth were brought to light last summer, when, emboldened by success, he came to Nome and seized a young native girl, carried uer aboard his ship and debauched her. The captain and his crew who generally are recruited from the lowest class of criminals, which ac- counts for the number of Portuguese half breeds in the northern section of Alaska--for a number of years past have been carrying on these awful crimes against the natives Their mode of operation was to call at native camp, trade off a few bottles of alcohol for valuable furs, and, while the Eskimos were engag- d in 2 wild druukoE orgie, seize the best looking young girls in the vil lage and carry them aboard the yes sel, releasing them after they had been shamelessly debauched.
 On the matter being brought be- fore the authorities by the Gold Dig ger last summer, Captain Hamlet was appointed a United States commits sioner by Judge Moore. He was giving a rowing commission, and ac- companied by Assistant District At torney Landers pursued the whalers to the Arctic ocean. A field of Ice had closed in behind the whalers, and the revenue cutter was compell- ed to return Captain Newth and his crew, being cut off by the ice fields, went into winter quarters at Hers chell island for the winter, from which place they were reported by the celebrated explorer Roald Amunsen, who came over the ice to Eaplq (1tV last winter ShOuld Can tain Hamlet be successful in catch ing the band of desperate criminals, there is little doubt that they will spend a long time in the pententiary.

Gold Discovered in Siberia By Cos
 sacks

The schooner X. L., Captain Albert Soto, cleared from this port today for Anador bay, Siberia Besides the captain and crew of three gal lant spirits, the x. l.. will carry J T. Lindseth, who owns half inter' est in the vessel. The ostensible pur- pose of the voyage is trade with the Indians, but behind this there is ans other motive. The schooner will ascend the Anador river a distance of six hundred miles in search of gold.
 The story which led to the tcii9 reads like q rosRasice. ..ccof ling 6, this story gold was found ill large quantities on the Anadir liver by a band of Russian Cossacks in 1887. With well-hlled pokes--or whatever is the Russian equivalent for gold sacks-they were returning to the coast when they were set upon by party of savages, and all but one were killed This man, after en- during the greatest hardship and privation, reached Anadir with some of the yellow metal in his possession and related to the governor of the province of Anadir the details of the journey, but withholding any infor nation as to the locality in which the gold was found. Some years later the man died, but before passing away revealed to the governor his secret in regard to the whereabouts of the new Eldorado.
 MT. Lindseth, who knew the story of the discovery, but nothing of its location, last winter received a letter from the governor via St. Petersburg The schooner was pur- chased and outfltted immediately. On board the vessel is large min ing and prospecting outfit This will be landed at Anadir bay, and car go of furs, ivory and other products loaded on board, when the vessel will return to Nome. She will leave again about q month hence with an addition to the mining outfit and six practical miners and prospectors for her long journey up the unknown and unprospected Anadir river. The party will remain on the ground all summer and next winter.
