In letter to his old time partner on the Koyukuk, Barney Hettel of the Kodak store, W. G. Davis of Bethel on the Kuskokwim, sends the follow ing news items of interest
 "A single man can come to this country and make a living and a good one some way. In regard to mining there are four or five creeks that are wage propositions and one that is a producer, but nothing big. There has not yet been developed a continuous pay-streak as miner would term it. The reindeer Laps own the best part of this creek of which they are the discoverers. Another creek is claim ed to have been found that is better but it is not proven yet. In the last year two white men have gone into the reindeer business. It is the surest thing in this country for making money One Lap rented 100 female deer from the government ten years ago and he refused thirty thousand dollars for his herd last fall. A white man would have to have two or three thousand dollars to start with but it would certainly be sure money in the end. In regard to Martin and Ermine, I have not seen Martin in this part of the country and have only secured four Ermine this winter"

named Raymond Mooney, n of three
young fellows arrested in Grant coun-
ty some weeks ago on the charge Of
having broken into a box car and car
rying away a quantity Of merchandise,

in the Sioux Falls penitentiary. When
taken before Judge Bouck, Of the cir
cult court, the three defendants en-
tered pleas of guilty and were given
terms of two years each in the peni-
tertiary. Judge Bouck, however, sus-
pended sentence in each case and the
three young men were released from
custody on the condition that they
would not leave Grant county. They
were placed on farms with certain reg
ulations governing their conduct. Moo
ney a few days ago violated his parole
by leaving the state and going to Chi
cago, where he was located and ar
rested and brought back to South Da-
kota. He will be forced to serve

Drowned in Lake.

Webster.-Mystery surrounds the
death of John A. Nelson, a well known
local character around Enemy Swim
and other lakes of Day county, whose
body was found in Enemy Swim lake.
A coroner's jury was summoned and
returned a verdict to the effect that

he came to be drowned has not been
revealed. When last seen alive he
stated he had not been feeling well,
but felt somewhat better. So far as
known he had no relatives in this part
of the country About eight years ago
he became lost in a storm and was
frozen so badly that ali the fingers of
both hands and both Of his thumbs

handicap he had managed to make o
living for himself.

Tourists Put Out Blaze.

Deadwood.-The efficiency and value
of the fire lookout station maintained
by the forest service on Custer peak
has been we'll demonstrated. Word
was received at the local Office that a
smoke was detected near the Mountain
Meadow ranch, but before the forest
officers had left town a further report
was received that the smoke had died
down and that probably a party Of au-
tomobilists had stopped to e%xtinguish
the same, as a machine was seen to
leave the vicinity Of the fire shortly
after the smoke died down. In order
to ascertain the real facts, the forest
ranger at Pactola was communicated
with and instructed to interview any
motorists that came along regarding
the fire. In the course Of about an
hour word was received which indi,
Gated that ONE tourists had discov-
cred the fire raging in the timber
along the road and had stopped to put
it out. The promptness and interest
displayed by these tourists was of far
reaching effect, for by their act a pos
"ible serious fire was averted, and
also showed the cooperative spirit that
is being shown by people in general
in protecting the forests against fires
and destruction. From the standpoint
of the forest service the value Of the
lookout and the complete telephone
system was most satisfactorily demon
strated by this incident.
