 MICHIGAN CREEK
i TRIBUTARY TO GOOD FASTER
and will be Worked by Opencut Methods Nuggets Weighing 12 Gents are Taken Out.

4 letter from F. F. James, the commissioner at Richardson. receiy- ed in Fairbanks, tells of strike that fas beeu made on 6 tributary of the south Fork Of the Good Faster river. The strike was made by L. J. John- son. Walter Johnson and Frank Solly, on Michigan creek tributary of Good Faster. How much the ground will go to the foot is not known but in the letter from James, it was stated that the prospectors banned S10 out of one hole.
 The ground On Michigan creek is only from 10 to 20 feet deep. and in the greater part of it will not go over 12 feet. so that it would be an excellent opencut proposition, even if the ground was not rich.
 That the gold is coarse is evident. Us several good nuggets are reported to have been found. the largest one of which was worth about 72 cents.
 Michigan creek is about one days travel from ". H. Newtons trading post at the mouth of tine Heaiy river, according to the statements made by the men to the Richardson commits sioner. The ground is in the Panama recording precinct, so that claims stahed would be recorded at Richard son.

SEATTLE HINDU
 HANGED IN INDIA STARTED NATIVE REVOLUTION Former Student at Lincoln High School and University of Washing ton Is Hung for sedition-Another Student Hanged.

A desire to incite a Hindu revolt against English rule in India has led Vishnu Ganesh Pfngley, former Uni versity of Washington and Lincoln high school student to his death. The Associated Press carried a dispatch Friday telling of the execution of Pingley in India, after being convict ed of high treason, s. Lai, a former Hindu student at Oregon Agricultural college in Corvallis, also was hanged, and Bhai Parmanan, University of California medical student, was im- prisoned for life. .a,
 Pngley entered the University of Washington in September, 1913, after graduating from Lincoln High school. He was a bright fellow, level headed, and fine student. He worked for his board and room at one of the frater- nifty houses. He did not have much money, so that when he was injured in a class fight during the fall of 1913 he submitted bill to the class for $3 for medical treatment. It was paid.
 The records at the office of the re- corder at the university show that Pingley was born at Talegoan. India, in 1892.
