McChesney Will
 Lose His Foot

VALDEZ, April 2S.--Robert J. Me. Chesny, the well known Northern newspaperman, was brought to Val. dez from Port Wells this morning with crushed foot that will have to be amputated. McChesney had fallen a tree. The falling tre shot backward and pinned his ankle between the tree just cut and a standing tree. It took William Comedy and Dick Rogers, his partners, an hour to release him from the trap in which he was caught. Then they lowered him 200 feet down the mountain side to their camp. It re- quired all the afternoon to take him to the beach where they took a boat. rowed all night and the following day to Golden, a distance of GA miles. Here the injured man was transferred to the Brighton which came at top speed from Valdez. There is absolutely no hope that the foot can be saved.

their stocks of goods, and all the rreighting outfits and teamsters in the country have been doing profitable business. The summer season is ex- pected to be a very busy one.
 This is to be a demonstration year of the Ruby district. It will be proved this summer that the district is to take it's place among the old camps of the North to remain a steady pro- ducer in the future However, would advise no man to go there at this time. There are 2,OOO people in the district, and it could easily be pop ulated beyond the number that could find profitable employment there. Next year there will probably be room for more people there.
 The people of Ruby are enthusias' tic over the outlook for their coun- try, and they are confident and con tented with their lot. They have adopted a motto-'Ruby, the Golden Hub of Alaska-and they expect to live up to the slogan"
 Dr. Moore made the trip from Ru- by to Chitina on the Copper River and Northwestern railroad in nine and half days-an average speed of 57 miles day. He had 12-dog team the team that won the Ruby Derby dog race of March 1st-driyer and alto take him out on the trip. He left Ruby April 9th. His sled was decorated with banners bearing Ru' by's motto in large letters.
 Dr. Moore went to Ruby two years ago. and has practiced his profession as a physician and surgeon there dur ing that time. He erected the first hospital at Ruby, and is interested in mining properties on Long and other creek. He came out at this time in response to appear as a witness ir the Macdonald murder case. He will leave for Seattle in a few days where his wife and daughter. the latter g student in the University of Washing ton. are living. He will leave for Ru by again later in the season.
