KEARNEY CONFIRMS NEWS
 OF RICH CANDLE CREEK FIND

Herb kearney arrived in the city on Thursday last from Candle creek, where he has been employed for some months. He reports that Mcdonnell & Bevans are con tinuing work on their ground with a will, and that the reports brought to The Pioneer last week by Dr. Greene as to the richness of the ground are in no sense exaggerated. Indeed, Mir Kearney says, there have been pans showing more sensational values than those reported by the Tokotna man. The ground will run, according to Mir. kearney, fully s15 to the foot
 According to Kearney the prospect of great riches already has had its effect on Billy Bevans, who since the extent of the find has been ascertaned has been making extensive plans for taking life easier than IS customary with the average miner Among the conveniences established on Candle creek by Mir. Bevans is laundry. and he has i'm ported a crowd of natives to man it. One of the objects of Kearney's trip to 1ditarod at the present time is to purchase equipment for Billy's laundry Hereafter the lucky miner of the Candle creek camp will not be required to engage in the menial task of washing his own shirt and if the experiment should prove a success it IS more than pos sible that the occasional visitor to that re- zion may be startled by the spectacle of miners and roughnecks attired in real ''b'iled' shirts.
 Mir Kearney will leave on his return trip on Monday next.

AL WALSH CARRIES MAIL
 FOR KUSKOKWlM REGION

Al Walsh, the we'll known mining man, arrived Wednesday from the kuskokwlm region where he has been looking after his quartz interests, about which he still maintains the utmost secrecy. He reports, however, that everything is going satisfac- torlly.
 Mir Walsh left on his return trip to the kuskokwim region this week, and will take a consignment of mail for Akak, Bethel, and other points on the lover kuskokwlm, as far as Kolmakotf, at which point 1t will be taken care of by Duke E. Stubbs and carried to its destination. This is the in auguraton of semi monthly volunteer service which the residents of that region have undertaken, with the view of making such a showing as will induce the postal authorities to provide them with a regular mail service. Mir. Stubbs will carry the outgoing mail to Iditarod on the next trip, according to Mir Walsh.
 Mir Walsh says that all efforts to find the body of Oscar Boulet, who IS supposed to have lost his life at or near the mouth of the Aniak last fall, have been aban- doned until spring It is believed that the body will be found after the break-up

NATIVE VIOLATOR OF LAW
 BROUGHT FROM SHAGELUK

Deputy Marshal Percy G. Charles re- turned to the city on Thursday last from Shageluk, having in custody Lee Howard native, accused of the larceny of a wolverine skin and other property from trunk in a cache at Hohkachek. The prisoner was taken before Commissioner Geraghty yesterday and pleaded guilty to the charge He was sentenced to serve 100 days in the federal jail
 The case was one which involved the ap- plication of tribal customs which conflict with white mems law, and 1t is probable that the effect of the punishment of the young man Is to serve as a warning that the United States and territorial laws are paramount and must be respected.
 It appears that native recently died and his widow took possession of his ef fects According to native customs, the relatives of the deceased had prior claim to his property, and in seeking to enforce these claims Howard is said to have stolen the property of the deceased.
 Mr Charles left here for Shageluk on the 4th instant, and was accompanied by George Adams, with string of thirteen dogs, all of which were required to nego- tiate the distance through a country where there IS practically no trail

KING "EVADES THE TRUTH

LONDON, Jan 14.-The Times edi torially repudiates the statement of the king of Greece that Premier Venizelos did not officially give permission to the allied troops to land on Greek soil at Saloniki. King Constantine made this statement to the American people through the Associ- ated Press. He asserted that Venizelos was premier at the time, but that he only made remark that it would give him pleasure to4 see the quadruple entente use saloniki is5 it so desired. The king now declares that such remark could not be construed as official permission to the allies. The king also declared that Venizelos was re- elected because he was Venizelos, and not because the people favored his anti-Ger man policies The Times brands those statements of the king as an attempt to evade the truth.
