He was told to go and bring the other native back, but obeyed only so far as to fetch bottle that had beei carried off by his thirsty accomplice. Their arrest followed.

Six men are now shoveIna in on that creek, and the pay is reported to be very good indeed. He secured considerable ground there and came out this spring by way of Ophir to record the claims, Deadwood being i'll the Innoko recording district, notwithstand- ing it is much nearer the Iditarod, He also secured good ground on several creeks in the Iditarod. Mir. Hickey said the Innoko district is looking we'll, and people there seem to be better satisfied than in any previous year. He could give no estimate of the seasons cleanup in that district.
 MT. Hickey was grubstaked by Charles E. Wing, of the Panama Restaurant. If the ground he secured turns out any where near as we'll as he expects they will each realize very handsome sum from it.
