LUCKY LESSEES
 ARE IN RICH PAY
Forty-eisht Dollar Pans Found in ao-Foot Paystreak-ohered Big
 Price for Lease

Pay SD rich that it is visible in Inc face of the open cut as niI" ttands off and looks at il has just been opened up by NoeIler and Gustafson, laymen on Mec- han and LarsOn's ground on g below of Fairbanks creek; and more remarkable, this is on .por- ton of the claim that was not sup posed to carry any pay.
 J. A. GustafSOn, who is hook l. keeper Cor Nachon & Sterling, vi.- tied the claim. and testing .,omr of the ground took out one SIS pan and one S3O pan. His part ner, NOeller, also did some pan ming with results corresponding, and ROwden, the dredger man from 8 above, took out a Si8 pan.
 The rich ground is said to be 70 f'et in width. How far up and down the creek it may extend is yet to be dete! !'mined.
 As a consequence of the dis covery the laymen were this morning made an offer of si5. .OOO for their lease.

For 12 Years Prospectors Have Tramped Bleak country-A

Billy Thompson. all American
 trading with the natives on the Siberian coast, recently arrived ! i'll Nome, according to the Indus trial Worker. For l2 years American miners have been pros 'pecting that section with but in- different success.
 He says that there iS much commercial activity around Ana dir as the government is making iit an administrative center. 4 wireless station. material for which was shipped in last fall, will bc ready to give and lake ,radiograms for any part of the Siberian coast on August 28. The completion of this station will be
 the most nnrthcrly of a series of coast stations connecting with the Trans-Siberian railroad at Vladi- ,vostOck, and will through the Ov- erland telegraphs connect with Russia in Europe al St. Peters burg.
 The government sent big and well equipped expedition about 800 miles up the Anadir river. It is mining expxpii'ion and iTr the party are cncilirr"~ and ge- ,OlOgislS. Careful >iur.. will be taken of the formation with spec- ial attention paid for precious metals.
 Another party was sent tn the station formerly occupied by the Northeastern Co.,, and will more thoroughly prospect and explOrs the surrounding country. Both these parties are well and scicn- .tiically equipped, so that thcir work may be efficiently done.
 A fishing steamer formerly the English tramp Ed. Berry" but now flying the Russian colors, was lat Anadir. This boat is of about 5000 tons, and is equipped with 'refrigerators whose capacity is estimated at 800.O00 salmon. The steamer is now loading up with salmon which will be taken tO Riga or St. Petersburg in refrig- orators; what cannot be placed there being salted down in casks. The largest fishing company in the Baltic. a Russian outfit, is backing this venture. As there has been a big run of salmon, the refrigerators of the boat are being rapidly filled. Trading is somewhat slack owing to the schooners having cleaned up the winter holdings of the natives. They are holding back large amount of whalebone in the hope that the present stagnation in the market may pass away.

Gus Schaefer of the Bethel
 rading firm of Brown 6 Schaefer, who came out from the Kusko- kwim, left Bethel last month, go- ing up the river to the Portage, where he crossed to the Russian Mission, thence going down the river by boat to St. Michaels. Ac- ,cording to MT. Schacfer things are very quiet indeed on the Kusko- kwim, and there is a boom neirh- Ter in trading nor in mining. There Is some activity all various points. but il is nothing to get excited over.
 In the lower kuSk0kwim around the lr0lik country. commonly but ierr0nrOuSly referred iO in Nome as the Good News Bay country, things arc not very Bright. While some of the miners report pro- 'gress others arc leaving there dis icOuraged. GabrielSnn'S claim on Butte creek is the only producer to any extent. and an influx of miners there would not be war
 ranted.
 On the Aniak which is some ! i50 miles from Bethel to it's mouth two claims of low grade gold are producers, but every ,th.ng there is very costly as it costs B cents a pound to freight up the river to the diggings. steam shovel has been installed ,On Bear creek on the Tuluksak

street, was in the fleet with his twelve ton auxiliary sloop, accompanied by John F. Mauran; there was another power boat with Sable Greene and Ernest Thompson, the Daniel Babcock boat with two men besides the owner, boat owned by Thompson, who is employed at the New England granite works and the power boat Wickapos- sett. This fleet arrived at Block Is land Saturday afternoon and all the men were ashore together in the eve- ming.
 It was the understanding at that time that Casey and Chase did not in tend to return to Westerly until Tues day Captain Sisson said Monday aft ernoon that he believed they were safe Casey told him Saturday night that it was his plan to go to the north side of Block Island and into Cow har- bor and then to fish on the grounds off the point, which is in full view of the lighthouse and life saving station. He saw the Water Lily going in that di- rection and was of opinion that while the other boats of the Westerly fleet were battling with the wind and heavy sea, the Water Lily was in the calm water of Cow harbor.
 Soon after leaving Block Island the power boat containing Greene and Thompson became disabled and sig naled to Captain Sisson who went to the rescue and lowed the disabled boat into Westerly. The WickapOs- sett and the Thompson boat kept com pany on the trip over, the former boat having tow line to the latter, in or der to render service if needed, on the tempestuous trip.
 Tbovo uraro al cOrtc of ranOrfS P11T- rent during the day that tended to show that Messrs. Casey and Chase were probably lost. One was to the effect that a boat answering the de- scription of the Water Lily was seen to founder off Pleasant View, and an- other to give color to the report was that Mir Casey's little trick dog was washed ashore at Pleasant View, when as a matter of fact the dog was with the Casey family on terra firma. Dur ing all these reports Captain Sisson declared emphatically that both men were absolutely safe and had not at any time been in as much danger as the boats that made the home run during the fierce storm of Sunday. That Captain Sisson was correct in his views was demonstrated late Mon- day afternoon, when the cheering in telligence was received that Deputy Sheriff Casey and Howard Chase were safe and sound on Block Island and would return home on schedule time Captain Sisson was kept busy a good part of Monday running down the va rious stories that were in circulation and at no time did he share i'll the existing belief that Casey and Chase were lost. The news of their safety was received through Superintendent Knowles and Capt Walter Davis of the life saving service.
