Two Hunters Kill
 Bear With Cubs

CORDOVA. June 7.-Jake Logan and Jack Walsh, who have just re- turned from fishing trip to Tyak Lake, tell a thrilling story of their adventure with bear. They brought with them a beautiful bear skin to verify their story of adven- ture.
 While the two men were fishing on the lake, they assert, they saw a bear on the shore. They had no firearms with them, but concluded to venture ashore. They armed themselves with clubs, and it proved well that they did, for the bear made after them. Between them they confused the animal with their attacks on him with their clubs, and at last stunned him. Then they made short work of him by beating him over the head, where it would not seriously interfere with the fur.

RICH PAYSTREAK FOUND
 ON UPPER VAULT GREEK
Jack Prest Discovers Body of Gravel That Sixty Feet Wide and Ten Feet of Gravel Some of Which Runs $2 50 to the Pan
 Upper End of Creek Resaked for Mile and Half

to the pan, is the surprh ing report that is received here, and inasmuch as the pay streak is 50 feet in width, it's great value is made evident.
 MT. Prest's discovery is the re- ward of years of patient toll When other miners deserted upper Vault creek, with the announcement that pay was not there, MT. Prest con tinued his determined search for the treasure that he was certain could be located there in time.
 In the years 1907 and 1908, Vault creek was one of the liveliest places in the Fairbanks district. The town of Vault was a flourishing place, and big fortunes were taken from the earth by those who were for tunate enough to have title to ground there. But the spot where the town was built, marked the upper end of the known pay streak, and all efforts to locate dirt worth working above that place, were in vain.
 At that time MT. Prest took d lay on the ground on which he re- gently found the rich streak. He worked hard and persistently there

Van Dyke Team
 Wins First Contest

In the baseball game yesterday afternoon, the Van Dykes beat the Marquettes by a score of IS to 8. There were 155 paid admissions, and considering the limited amount of practice that the two teams have had, the game is considered a success.
 By special arrangement between the baseball teams and the city of ficials, all the money taken in yes terday will be used for improving the park. Hereafter the city will get only 10 per cent of tie receipts of the games.
 Both hines are planning to enter into active practice at once to make a good showing for the coming mid night game on June 21.

for the elusive pay dirt, and there were many miners who laughed at him for what they termed his fool ishness.
 In 1909, MT. Prest went to Idita- years. but in that time, he still con tnued to dream of finding a rich streak on upper Vault creek. Re- turning from Iditarod, he took a lay on the same ground on which he had had a lay previously, and resumed prospecting there.
 Early last winter, Mir Prest locat ed the rich gravel Then he nego- tiated deal for machinery with which to begin mining the claim in proper shape. The plant is 40horse- power. and his friends say that with that he can get an output of about S1,000 a day on an average, working six men in the hole.
 For mile and a half above the discovery made by Mr Prest, the ground, which was formerly aband- oned, had been relocated. and efforts are being made to trace the pay streak through that distance.

One of the richest strikes ever made in the Fairbanks district is reported from Vault creek, where Jack Prest has located a body of rich dirt that averages $2.50 to the pan. The strange part of it is that the strike was made some time ago, and that although the delinquent claims around there have all been restaked. the find has not generally been known.
 According to reliable information that has been brought to Fairbanks, the pay dirt found by Prest is ten feet deep, and is 60 feet wide. It is 1S0 feet from the surface, and is located about three quarters of a mile above the town of Vault.
 MT. Prests cleanup was S16,000 Recently he made a cleanup of $5,- 900 as the result of a four-days' run, with six men in the hole. He is working a lay on property owned by Frank Beatie, Frank Piper. Tom Akin and another man whose name has not been given.
 That there are ten feet of gravel in the streak that will average $2.5O

Snowslide l akes
 Bunkhouse Away

VALDEZ, June 7.-While all the men were at lunch, a short distance away, the bunkhouse at the Gold King mine was swept away by a big snowslide Friday. Had the slide happened at night, almost all the workmen would have been killed, but, as it was, not one was even injured.

PRESIDENT WILSON CONSENTS TO MODIFY REPEAL MEASURE TO EXTENT OF DECLARING THAT THE UNITED STATES CONTINUES CONTROL.
PASSAGE IS NOW EXPECTED
NEW CLAUSE ASSERTS THAT THE UNITED STATES RE- ALL AMERICAN COASTWISE VESSELS WHEN so DESIRED.

WASHINGTON. D. C., June T. President Wilson has given his con sent to inserting a modification in the canal tolls measure, which will assert that by repeating the tolls, the United States does not relinquish it's right to exempt American coast wise vessels in passing them through the canal The proposed modified tion will also assert that the United States will continue to maintain it's soyerenty over the canal.
 The Presidents advisors in the senate have been trying to induce him to agree to a modification of the measure for some time. but until now he has not signfied his willingness to do so. At last, how ever, it was represented to him that without some change in the bill which would express some strong American declaration, it would not be possible to get it past the sen ate.
 Now that the President has signi- fled his willingness to have the bill modified, it is believed that it's passage though the senate will meet no serious obstacle.
 The measure as proposed by President Wilson DroVidinp for the repeal of the clause in the canal tolls law that would allow American coastwise vessels to pass through the canal without having to pay dues, was passed some time ago by the house. When it came to the senate it met with serious opposi- tion, and every effort has been made to prevent it's passage in that branch of congress.
 Whether the measure would fin ally be passed by the senate has been seriously questioned of late, as the opposition to it increased. The President has declared that the clause allowing free tolls for Ameri can coastwise vessels is not in ac cordance with the understanding en- tered into between the United States and other countries. To repeal the tional honor.
