A[ASKANS SUSPECT GENUIN[NESS OF
 EVERY "FIND," BUT MISS ONE? NEVER

Alaskans now in Seattle are much excited over the possibilities of tho reported strike n the Chisana conn- l try.
 SonrdoughS from all parts of the country are gathering in this city. where. with their ears to the ground, they are awaiting reliable information which will determine them as to their future course of action There have been so many fake stampedes in the Northern country that any man who has passed much time in Alaska views every reported strike with suspicion. The latest stam- pede, known as the Skookum Jim stampede. which was responsible for many miners spending good money on wild goose chase. is still fresh in the minds of many who are now thinking of mushing to the new Chisana strike.
 There is one peculiarity, however, which is in the makeup of every iprospector. and thot fs-he wants to be in on every rush to new fields for fear that the one he misses will turn out to be the exception and de velop into a rich camp.
 It is seldom stampedes are organ n Il the fact that many miners believe roadhouse men in the North have engineered many for the profits to be derived from the travelling miners
 The stampede to Midas creek organized by miners from Nome. and the "Nigeer Jim" stampede from Dawson in 1898, are the two famous stampedes which it is almost certain Were promoted deliberately for the benefit of those on the inside. 9th CT stampedes too numerous to men tion which have turned out to be false alarms" have taken place
 in the North. but in almost every instance they were the result 6f some "eheeehaco" gett ng highly eX- cited over his first glimpse of real gold
 The stampede from Fairbanks to the Innoko river, in the spring of 1908. is an instance of how a stam- pede. resulting in great loss to many

SEA AUTOMOBILE IS LATEST GRAF I

BOSTON, July S-Albert Hick- mans sea automobile, the Viper V., has attracted much attention in Boston waters. and yachtsmen are asking what type the strange and speedy craft may represent.
 When hydroplane is running great quantities of spray are thrown from under the hull at the side MT Hickman believed it would be bet ter for the boat to gather this water and sit on it instead of throwing it out. This was the basic idea in the design of the Viper "
 Her bottom is so constructed that every little ripple as it goes aft acts as an air compressor forcing the trapped air under the boat, so that she rides in part on compressed air The bottom of the craft is made with inverted sections, some thing like V-bottom boat turned in side out. The keel line is higher than the blge throughout, curving downward aft

 During the preceding winter a small group of men were prospect. ing the creeks of the Upper Inno- ko. Late Ii the spring, just before the breakup three different outfits working on different parts of Ophir creek. reached bedrock at the same time. In each of the three holes were found gold in great quantities The fact that all three holes carried good pay was in the eyes of the miners conclusive proof that con tnuous paystreak of great richness extended the entire length of the creek.
 The last mail of the season to go over the ice was to leave in a few days. The m'ners who had made the strike immediately wrote to their friends and partners in Fairbanks and Nome telling them 10 lose no time. but 10 drop everything and come to the new diggings
 The mail carrying the glad tidings departed on it's long journey over the ice and the lucky" miners re- turned r ther work. The next two days brought disillusionment By the same freak of chance which had led the three miners to land on the rich spots at the same time, all three drifted out of pay the same day.
 Every available steamboat in Fair. banks was loaded to the guards on the first trip doWn-and on the trip back
 The camp was q disappointment, although il later developed into good small camp. but nothing Ike the gl wing reports first received would lead one to believe.

WELSH IS ENTllTED
 TO MEET RtTCHlE.

LOS ANGELES. July 25.-Three important lightweight glove contests were decided on the Fourth of July and as result Billy Ritchie. 'co lightweight champion. stands out above all others. Ritchie made Joe Rivers quit in the eleventh round of what was to have been 20-round contest at San Francisco for the lightweight championship. At Los Angeles Leach Cross. of New York, won the right to fight Ritchie :or the title by knocking out Bud Ander son in the twelfth round. At New Orleans Jack Britton settled the bombastic claims of Charley White. of Chicago, by giving him surn beating that the contest was stopped in the eighteenth round of the scheduled 20-round encounter.
 The contest between Ritchie and Rivers was a vicious battle, Rivers showed the yellow when he saw the
 
 Rivers chicken-hearted efforts at the close of the contest the meeting showed that as champion Ritchie is there with the goods. He fought a very careful fight, and outpointed the Mexican when it came down to boxing Of course Leach Cross will be the first man to apply for an engagement with Ritchie and he is entitled to it, But Freddie Welsh must not be overlooked.
 It will be remembered that it was Welsh who started Ritchie on the road to fame when he agreed to ac- cept Billy as a substitute for Ad Wolgast at Los Angeles when poor Wolgast was stricken with appen- dicitis, and had to drop out of the match at the last minute Ritchie went in the ring without any train ing, so it would be interesting to watch what he can do with Welsh

PORTLAND COLTS MUST MOVE.

PORTLAND, July 2S-That the r rtland Northwestern league team must drop ont of the csrcuit at the close of the present season was announced in q telegram received here last night from President 4 T. Baum. of the Pacific Coast league. Rumors to that effect have been eur Tent since the last meeting of the directors of the Pacific Coast league Baum's telegram was:
 'It is generally agreed that Port land is getting too much baseball and it was decided that no outside league he allowed in Pacific Coast league territory after the season of 19l2."
 If the directors of the NorthN est crn league 50 desire President Me Credie of both Portland clubs says he will make fight to the finish and will open the subject again at the next meeting of the Coast direc- tors, which takes place in November He announced last night that this will be the last seas n of continuous hall in Portland
 Judge McCredie is in favor of placing Nick Williams team in Seat tie next season as a second Seattle club to play on the Seattle grounds when the Tillikums are on the road He does not believe that Spokane will be dropped and he is not ill fay or of bringing Everett, North Yakima. Walla Walla or any of the smaller cities into the league.
 Fielder Jones refused to make any comment on the probable change in the Northwestern league circuit.

WOODS PITCH WORTH s182.

Neither Jimmy McAleer nor Joe Wood has conf rmed or denied the story that Smoky Joe" will receive s1,500 for his efforts this year 10 ism ke them past the American league hatters. If it is true Wood be. comes in one big jump probably the highest salaried pitcher in the league Walter Johnson is credited with re- ceving S1,0oo. while the pay of Big Ed' Walsh is a club secret.
 Wood is but 23 years old. too and under favorable circumstances shoud have at least seven years as star in big league baseball. Add. ed 10 his salary are the potential profits Cf the worlds series. too. Last year his share was s4.000. If the Sox should win another worlds s series Wood should receive close to Sl5.0eo as his seasons income. in come, including side" profits if his salary is really s7,500.
 That's very tight little salary for d 23-year-old. working six months q year. Very few presidents of the leading banks of the country beat that estimating on twelve months to the year basis.
 Wood pitched ill 43 games last season. Al s7.5o0 year tha' would mean about $l72.09 per game He pitched 34i innings just averaging eight innings to a game That would be about 2l.So an inning. Not be ne quite so old. nor nearly so steady Is Walter Johnson. Wood wastes more balls and more energy than Johnson q es. While the "Terrible Swede" pitches from 90 to loo balls in q game of nine innings. Smoky Joe" goes him about ten better on m average.
 While no statistics have been kept. you will find Wood averaging some twelve balls to an inning. So. you see. Joe Wood will be paid about $l S2 every time he hurls the horse hide ill a regular game of baseball this always assuming that the 5 ,3o0 story is true.
 In other words, Wood threw the ball from 4,O0o to 4,200 times last season, and for probably just about the same work he is credited with receiving $500 this year, to say nothing of perquisites, as there's plenty of easy money when you only know how to get it.
