Great Big Placer Strike
 on the TaSIina River

Representative Milo Kelly, of knik, brings authentic news of a new and i'm pOrtant gold placer strike to the West ward The location of the very latest which promises to Out-raival the Chi saua in interest is near the headwaters of the Matanuska and Taslina rivers, with sources close together but the waters of which reach the ocean at points far apart Pay has been locat- ed on two streams, the one called Al bert creek. being tributary of Crook ed creek, which iu turn Is q tributary of the Taslina, which is a tributary of the Copper river. The other is konwn as Alfred creek and ns a tribu- tary of the Matanuska river. Both streams head in the same hills and almost against each other and flow in opposite directions.
 Mir. Kelly. who is a member of the House of Representatives from the Third Division, is a passenger on the Sampson for Seattle, accompanied by Mrs. Kelly
 "Tbe strike" said Representative Kelly, was made by Fred GetchelI and Ole Olson, both of whom former ly worked for me and consider them thoroughly reliable. They found the pay and located claims on Albert creek in July and worked altogether about 20 days. They shoveled in ten days all told and cleaned up sixty-fve ounces and eight pennyweights of gold The gold looks like that found on Slate creek and Valdez creek.
 The ground is all frozen and av- erages 10 feet to twelve feet to bed rock. They crosscut Albert creek for a distance of A feet and worked up stream about 30 feet in making the cut. They did not reach the other rim and do not know definitely how wide the pay will develop. The pay is about four feet in depth and from actual demonstration will go SIP to the yard.
 "On Alfred creek there has not been so much work done but it is claimed that the pay on this stream will av- craze 8 per yard"
 The diggings are hard to reach. Winter travel can go in either by the Teslin from Copper Center on the Fairbanks trail or from Seward by way of the ChickaloOn. It is about 220 miles from Seward to Alfred creek and it is said that winter travel is not bad The distance from Copper Cen ter up the Taslina to Albert creek is not given. The diggings can also be reached from Knik which is 1O5 miles from Alfred creek, but the journey would have to be made from Seward to Knik and nothing gained.

NORTHWESTERN
 HAVING HEAVY GOING

There were idle rumOrs floating about town last night to the effect that Northwestern was having trouble of a serious nature-some statements go- ing so far as to say she was swamped
 It comes from the fact that wireless was unable to get in touch with the vessel before II o'clock last night and from the rough weather experienced by the Admiral SampsCn outsid,. of Icy straits. The vessel was spoken to by the Admiral Sampson while the latter was at Yakutat and the former of Cape St. Elias. The Alameda passing to the Westward could not raise her. The Humboldt coming South from Skagway also failed, but the latter did get in communication with the Al ameda at 12:30 yesterday and discov- cred that nothing had been heard of the Northwestern.
 Agent Willis E. Novel;, of the Alas ka Steamship company. says that wire less in Juneau was talking with the belated ship at II o'clock last night and that she was hove to in a heavy storm outside Cape Spencer. She had not reported at Skagway at 2:3O this afternoon, but is expected to arrive in Juneau some time tonight or early tomorrow morning
