WAITE AND CRAVEN
 MISSING SINCE 1911

Some time in the latter part of June, 1911. three men-John Craven, l.. c. Waite and Charles Fowler-left Iditarod with the intention of travelling across country to the Copper river via what IS known as the Taklin trail. The men are reported to have had three dogs, three mosquito tents, two rifles, Colt army revolver and about fifty pounds of grub each Some two weeks later Fowler came back to Discovery, Otter, and stated that he had become lost from Craven and Waite in fog; that he had wandered around for three or four days and had finally landed on Julian creek, in the kuskokwim. He subsequently, went to work for Price & Ives on Otter.
 Since the time of the separation of these men nothing has been heard from either Waite or Craven. Whether there was foul play. or whether the men met with some accident or were drowned in the high water of that year is still question, Ora ven has wife Outside, to whom he al ways wrote regularly; in fact, he last wrote her on June 13, 1911, just before starting on this ill-fated trip. That was the last word she ever received from him. Waite was member of the Elks, former resi- dent of Napa, Cal He corresponded regu- larly with a Mrs Sommers there. She has never heard from. him since. He was dose friend of Ray Clark's. Clark has made inquiry but without success. He, too has never heard from Waite although they were most intimate.
 There is little doubt but that these men have pershed miserably; whether by 'aecl- dent or four play is one of the mysteries of this country They had nothing Of par ticular value with them. Their bodies have never been found Is it another Campbell or Willow creek case?

MusHER RELATES STORY
 OF WILLOW CREEK TRAGEDIES

Details of the tragedies along the trail in the vicinity of Willow creek were related III Fairbanks recently upon the arrival ot Ar thur Hemstreet, who mushed in from the coast Although the bodies of the mur- .}ered men had been buried when he reached the scene of the killing MT. Helmstreet learned many matters of interest in regard to the murders.
 He states that it was only by the merest accident that the murders were discovered by some workmen who were making hay a short distance north of the Willow Creek roadhouse, just above the point where the Chitna trail turns of from the Valdez road.
 Surrounding the roadhouse for some dis tance is large hay field, which extends along the trail for some distance. The men were making hay in the northerly end Of the field when one of them discovered watch on the ground. It did not look as though it had been lying in the grass very long. and the workmen became suspicious and began to investigate. It was only few moments until they discovered the body lying in the underbrush within few feet of the edge of the field This body was later found to be that of Nelson.
 Several days afterward two men were driving along the trail few hundred feet farther north when one of them discovered part of a pack outfit near the roadside. On account of the other murder which had been unearthed, they began a search and soon found the other body.
 When Mir Helmstreet was discussing the matter last night with number of Fair banks men it brought to the mind of a was created in Fairbanks by the ''blue parks man. who held up so many stages and individuals along the Clesry trail dur ing the early days of the camp.
 Many of those present who remembered the incident were of the opinion that an other blue parka man." or demon of like character, was operating along the trail, and the opinion was expressed that there are many bodies of missing men hid den in secluded spots along the highway.
 Before leaving for the Outside, Falcon ,Joslin stated that he expected to make it his business to call upon the department of justice at Washington to see if thorough investigation of the present cases could not be made by expert detectives. The mar shal's office of this division is very anxious to see the matter sfted to the bottom and would like to see special detectives placed at work on the case

SXTEEN-YEAR-OLD GIRL
 EXPERT BIG GAME HUNTER
Fairbanks News-Miner ]

Hunting all day long, week in and week out carrying a Mannllcher rifle and 2Z also is a job for most men, many ot whom do not care for 1t even then, but that IS just what Miss Phyllis White, l6 years of age has been doing all fall according to the report of her father, Thomas H. White, who is now in the city from the head Of the north fork of the Big Cinema river. Miss White came into the country fast spring over the trail with her father, mother. brother and sister in law. The brother and his wife left for the Outside this fall on one of the last boats, but the remainder of the family are living on the Big Cinema.
 Up at the quartz camp where her father and his partners are mining Miss White is the official hunter, supplying the meat which she obtains to the miners for several miles around who are too busy working to hunt a few dayas for themselves. Carl bou and all kinds of small game are usu- ally the result ot days hunting when Miss White starts out on q trip with her Mannlicher and 22 rife. She shoots carl- bou with the ease of an old hunter at from 800 to 600 yards with her big gun, and the ptarmigan or grouse which falls after she has fired at him is always minus his head when found She never did any shooting before coming to Alaska, but shows an adaptation for it which is surprising.
 The first caribou Miss White ever killed was at distance of 300 yards On that day she was hunting with her father when one of the migrating animals was dlscov- cred browsing among the bushes. Mir White then and there offered his Mann hcher rife as prize to his daughter if she could kill the animal and she now has the big gun for her own.

Wireless Pictures Latest Invention

A genius who lives at Vallejo Cal, has evolved wireless photographic instrument which works only at night and reflects on a mirror it is said, picture of everything within a radius of several miles He has been invited by Secretary of the Navy Dan iels to take the machine to Washington for inspection. The instrument receives its i'm pressions from web of wires attached to a tall mast. For this reason it is adaptable to ships, making impossible its inventor claims, night collisions accidents due to fogs and running afoul of icebergs. It would be valuable, too, it is claimed, for army use, as the movements of an enemy at night could be easily followed

BLoNDlN's GREAT FEAT

Harry Warren recently died in Chicago. Mir. Warren was the man whom Blondln carried on his back 1,500 feet on tight rope across Niagara river and l6S feet above the whirlpool rapids.
 Here IS MT. Warren's story of the most daring feat performed in modern times:
 After I got on Blondlns back he sad to me. Harry, whatever you do, let your weight be dead Blondin carried 3O-toot pole to balance with Blondin was the nerviest man I ever saw. There were 8 great many thousands of dollars bet that Blondin would fall with his life freight from the rope Others bet that Bondln would perform the feat The rope sagged 50 feet in the center, so he had to walk down an incline 75O feet to the center of the rope, and up an incline 75O feet The stay ropes running to the main rope were cut on one side of the river by some heartleSs wretch who had been bribed to do so, or had money at stake himself that Blondln would fall to his death with his passenger. The main rope swayed 30 feet sideways, caused by the stay ropes being cut. Mir. Blondln performed the feat saved himself and his friends by executing the greatest feat ot modern times, and if there was ever a mir acle performed in these ages, we might say this was a miracle But it was not mir acle. for miracle can only be done by the Infnie Spirit, which is God Thy will be done, and it was done"
 MT. Blondin was booked for this profes- sion, for he took a liking to it and with practical experience he became the great est tight rope walker of this or any other age. And as time passes Blondin will not be forgotten for as balancer on high ropes over whirlpools and preclpices his equal never was, and probably never will be.
