DEATH OF 4 LINEMAN
 DISARRANGES SERVICE

Owing to the death by freezing on New Years day of a Dominion telegraph lineman named Elephan- stone, stationed at the third cabin north of Hazelton, that line was put out of commission for several days and all messages either to or from the Canadian Yukon had to be dispatched through Skagway via the w. P. & Y. R. line to Whithorse and from thence to their address or around by the way of Valdez and Fairbanks.
 According to the information re- ceived Elephanstone started out in the morning to repair q break in the line. As he did not return that night, search was made next day by the lineman at the next section with the result that Elephanstone was found cold in death.
 70 The body was taken to the first station south of where it was found, distance of probably 30 miles, by the lineman, thus leaving two sec tioDs without attention for a peri cd of several days.

SULPHUR CREEK MINER IS
 BURNED TO DEATH IN CABIN

Albert R. Wise, a Sulphur creek miner, was burned to death last week in a cabin on Is below, where he had stopped for short rest while on his way back to his own camp from Dawson.
 On arrival at IS he said he was weary, and asked for place to rest. He was told to go to a near by cabin and to rest there for time. Shortly after, about 5 in the afternoon, men noticed the cab in was in flames. They ran to the place, and endeayored to break in, but when the door was opened the interior was mass of flames. Two men finally got hold of one of Wise's feet and dragged him out, but he was burned beyond recogni- tion, and had already succlmbed be- fore they reached him. The po- lice visited the scene and inyesti- gated, but said there was no telling how the fire started. They thought possibly the old man fell against the stove in the strange quarters and overturned it, or it may have exploded. Wise was born in Dan- zig, Germany, in 1864, and went to Yukon seven years ago from there.

GOOD PLACER
 PROSPECT

Fairbanks Times: Late arrivals from Vault creek and vicinity state that the pay located hy Beatty, Barette & Hamilton continues to average approximately SC to the pan. The strike was not made on the Hard Luck association, operated last summer by Jack F-est, but upon the Hands Across the Sea as- sociation, which is the next up- stream property. The place where the pay was found is fully 300 feet from where Prest took out a for tune last summer, and for this req son many miners think the pay streak extends up the creek for several miles.
 The paystreak on the Hands Across the Sea claim is said to be approximately SO feet wide.
 Last summer, when Prest made the strike, many people thol ght he had hit a rich pocket, but the fact that the pay continues OH upstream disproves this theory, and all Vault creek people are in a most optimis- tic frame of mind.
 On the claim above the Hands Across the Sea association, the Op- orators, Vic Boone and Dominic Faslni, are down to bedrock and are drifting now. Owing to . glacier, they were compelled to sink their shaft some distance from where they expected to strike the pay, and now they are drifting toward where they think it lies.
 All the way up the creek for three miles Q number of miners are prospecting, and all feel confident that before spring they will be talk ing out,big money.

LEADER OF EXPEDITION
 IS EXPERIENCED MUSHER

Sergeant William George Edgen- ton, of the Royal Northwest Mount cd Police, who headed the eXpedi- ton that left Dawson last Monday over the trackless and perilous trail 10 McPherson and Hers2hel in the Arctic, is one of the most expert enced mushers in the famous force. He came from the Hudson Bay dis trict, where he was stationed for years, and where he travelled on the Churchill-Fullerton route. In an interview with a Dawson News reporter on his long mush, he says:
 The Churchill-Fullerton patrol is the longest in the world covered by dogs. There We travel the full distance with not a cabin on the route. One white man and an Es- kimo usually make the trip, and drive many dogs hitched in single strands, and spread out in fan shape. Here, of course, where there are woods it is impossible to hitch and drive dogs other than tandem, but there it is all barren and smooth, and the spreading dogs can fly along unhindered. At night snow cabins are made, and the cook ing is done with oil lamps.
 "On this trip from Dawson l shall go to McPherson, and if no patrol is there to meet Us, will mush through to Herschel."
