FORMER ARMY MAN
 CONDEMNS TESLIN
-O-O

Captain W. s. Riddle, a graduate of West Point, and Spanish-American war veteran, but now retired, arrived from Wrangell on the State of Cal ifornia last night
 Captain Riddle passed through Ju- neau last March following the trail of George Carmack and Skookum Jim on the Jennings river stampede to the Lake Teslin country. The reported strike on Silver creek was pure fiction according to Captain Riddle and there is no one in that country now. He was unable to find a color of the vel low metal. He left Silver creek for Dease lake on May 15 and prospected the likely looking creeks without rais- ing a prospect. The rivers broke June 1 and a hard, gruelling trip was the result. It was a case of mushing with a pack. A lot of time was lost wait ing for the streams to go down so they could be forded. He has been travelling all the time and reached Wrangell but a few days ago. About 30 have come out this way. This was his first stampede and his first exper- fence at prospecting.
 The Captain has heard the call of the Shushana-but he does not think of answering it just now. He says that after a few days visit with George c. Teal at the Gambler Bay cannery, in which he is a stockholder, he will go back to Portland and renew his ac. quaintance with his family.
