HARD TO FIND IN THE
MOUNTAINS

Army officers agree that if
Villa breaks up his command in-
to small bands and turns to the
Sierra Madre mountains as a
hiding place, it will be almost
impossible to capture him.
Villa spent his early days as
an outlaw in these mountains,
the passes through which an
army and its transport may rot
move. 1t takes 10 or II days to
negotiate these tortuous passes
into the Sonora district.
Mexicans here believe Villa
will hide himself in the mountain

troops have given up the chase.

MARRIAGE BELLS RING
 FOR MAX SMELLS DAUGHTER

OPHIR Feb. 3-United States Commis sioner H. Vinal, at his home in this city on last Monday night, united in marriage Miss Bessie Simel and N E. Cramer. The cere- mony was private, but the festivities ln connection with the celebration of the happy event were participated in by practically the entire population of Ophir
 The bride is 8 daughter of Max Simel, the we'll known trader of Cripple City, and the groom, relative of the brides step mother who came from the Outside last summer, is an optician by profession. The bridal couple came from Cripple by dog team, and were unattended They will make their home at Cripple City for the present wLere Mir. Cramer IS employed by the brides father.
 The bridegroom became acquainted with one of the customs of the country on the day following the ceremony which resulted in the departure of the bridal couple being delayed for day and incidentally being the cause of delightful supper party. On Tuesday morning Mir. Cramer made prep arations for his departure with his bride for home, but his dog harness was missing. Dihgent search elicted the information that if he would repair to nearby retreshment parlor and "set em up" to the boys he might learn the whereabouts of the har ness. The bridegroom took the joke in good part and ''came through" So much good fellowship was displayed that he decided to postpone the homeward trip until the morrow, and made arrangements for an ele gant supper which was served to a large gathering on Tuesday evening The we'd ding supper was prepared by Mrs. ODonnell, and was credit to her culinary skill. A thoroughly enjoyable evening was spent. Among the large number of guests present in addition to the bride and bridegroom, were noted Dr. Greene of Takotna Jim Haley and J. Earnest Beattie of Iditarod, Bob Evans, John Baker, Tom Price, T. W. Paulson, Nels Johnson, John Vogtor, Clyde Coleman, Robbie Gierke and Mrs. ODonnell.
 Mr and Mrs. Cramer left for home on Wednesday morning.

ALLIED TROOPS IN GREECE
 AT REQUEST OF GREEKS

LONDON, Jan l3.-"Are you aware, " Sir Arthur Margham asked Foreign Sec retary Grey in the house of commons, that the neutral press has stated repeat edly that the allies, by sending troops through Greece, violated Greek neutrality in the same way in which Germany vio- lated Belgian neutrality, and will the gov ernment take steps to make it known in neutral countries that Greece requested the allies to send troops?"
 Lord Robert Cecil parliamentary under secretary for foreign affairs, replied for the foreign secretary, saying:
 "I am aware that such statements have been made, but they have been adequately ritliculed and contradictcd."
 The recent statement of King Constan- inc of Greece to the Associated Press that the landing of allied troops in Greece was without bis assent was quoted in the house of commons Lord Robert Cecil was in vited to reconcile it with Lord Lans- downe's statement that it was at the in stance of the Greek premier that Great Britain sent troops for Serbia by way of Salonlki.
 Lord Robert confirmed Lord Lans- downe's statement as perfectly accurate" :" but declined to discuss the relations be- tween the king of Greece and his minis ter as that, he said was purely domestic affair

CANDLE CREEK
 HAS A BONANZA
Marvellous Riches Revealed in Operations of Two Wen-Known Miners, According to Dr.
 Greene of Tokotna

"I took three pans from the roof of the tunnel that went 45 cents in gold; one pan two feet from bedrock that banned s. and one pan on bedrock that produced $25.'
 The above quotation Is not the result ot 'pipe dream" nor the idle mouthlngs ot a so called prospector intent on starting a stampede to some distant locality. They are the words of Dr. w. r. Greene of To kotna and refer to recent visit he made to the workings of Dan Mcdonnell and Billy Bevans, on Candle creek, near Iokotna on ground leased from Tom Aiken and Tom Mckinnon.
 "I know that will be accused of exag- geration in making this statement" said Dr. Greene yesterday, "but am willing to make affidavit to the truth of my assertions"
 No one who knows Dr. Greene, who IS one of the best known citizens of the kus- kokwim region, will consider that such a guarantee of the truth of his words IS nee essary, and while the values indicated by such casual tests are startling, the doctor says that there have been individual pans taken out on the claim much richer even than the ones he mentions.
 Candle creek, according to Dr Greene, is bound to prove one of the great producers of Alaska. The ancient channel of the creek has been located, and proves to be much deeper ground than the present creek bed, which runs from eighty-hve feet to upwards of one hundred and twenty-five feet
 Mcdonnell & Bevans, according to the doctor, have uncovered 3,60O feet of bed, rock, which carries two feet of sand per meated with values such as he has men, tiCned.
 The lucky miners will make no estimates on the value of their ground, but are quietly working and preparing for the rich harvest.
 On Karl creek considerable prospecting is being done Much w-grade gravel has been revealed, and apparently so far noth- ing better than 8 wage proposition has been developed.
 Higgins & Thorns, operating On Canes creek, in the Innoko district, have com menced the work of freighting machinery from Takotna to their workings, The ma chinery was received on the last kusko kwim boat last fall, and consists of B self dumping slip scraper.
 Dr. Greene came over from Tokotna with James Haley and J E. Beattie. Like other Tokotna people who have expressed them selves on the subject, he cannot be said to be enamored of the new trail from To- kotna by way of Ophir He much prefers the old Moore creek trail.
 Dr. Greene will remain in the district for some weeks.

MUSHERS REE'lURH
Haley ard Beattie Home From EyentfuI Trip to Coast-Con-
 ditions at Anchorage

Bronzed by sun and storm. and glowing with life and health which comes from out door life in this salubrious Northern climate, Jim Haley and j. Ernest Beattie arrived in Iditarod yesterday from Seward, completing a round trip to that city begun on November P last. On that date they left this city with more than half million dollars in gold bullion, in charge of Bob Grlfhs, the veteran musher The venture attracted nation wide notice, and has been the sub ject of many newspaper articles and per haps not little anxiety on the part of those interested in the valuable shipment. Bob Griffis accompanied Haley and Beattle on the homeward journey as far as Tokotna, where he awaits the arrival of the Ruby Tokotna mail carrier, when he will continue his journey to Fort Gibbon.
 The three men and their valuable freight encountered severe weather from the out set, and were more than month in mak- ing the journey to Seward, being delayed on account of storms on more than one oc- casion. The boys tell some rather amusing stories of their experience, one of which re- lates to the jealous eye which Bob Gritfis kept on the bullion when they came in sight of their destination. Throughout the wild country of the upper Kuskokwim and the mountain regions, they say, no especial care was taken of the bullion, as there was, of course, no need to do so. At the road houses it was handled just as ordinary freight would have been. But once in sight of Seward, the vigilance of Bob asserted itself, and he never lost sight of the precious stuff until 1t was safely on board the North western bound for Seattle. Indeed in spite of the fact that his responsibility for it ended when he turned 1t over to the ex- press company, he persisted in sitting up all night at the door of the vault where it was deposited, armed with a shotgun. And he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had been faithful to the trust imposed on him.
 Conditions at Anchorage
 Haley and Beattie report that the town of Anchorage is experiencing a slump Tn business, owing to cessation of work on the government railway. One thing that par ticularly attracted their notice there was the extremely large percentage of foreigners among the railroad laborers, They say that the Alaska engineering commission, which is responsible for conditions at Anchorage, is generally condemned by the citizens of both Anchorage and Seward. They complain bit terly of the apparent discrimination in favor of the foreigners displayed by the commis sion, and of the low wages prevalent in con- nection with the work. Most of the men employed are said to have been imported by the contractors from Canada, where they were engaged in the construction of the Grand Trunk railway, recently completed Anchorage and the railroad work offer no inducements to men used to conditions in Interior Alaska, according to Haley and Beattie.

GERMAN RAIDERS CAPTURE SHIP

NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 3.-The British liner Ap- pam, which has been considered lost, arrived yeser~ day flying the German flag and in command of a German prize crew. She was captured at sea on January l5.
 The Appam was captured by the German raider Moewe, operating on the coast of Africa. She had On board also the crew of British steamship which had been sunk by the raider.
 Administration Confronted by New Problem
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 3-The arrival of the seized steamship Appam at an American port pre- sents new problem for the administration to face; It is possible that the prize ship may be considered to be an auxiliary cruiser in which she will be nterned.
 The possibility that German submarine accom- panied the Appam across the ocean, and IS prepar- ing to operate of the American coast has aroused the interest of naval officials.

EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
 MAKES SENSATIONAL SPEECH

NEW YORK, Feb. l.-Ex- President Roosevelt delivered a speech in Brooklyn last night in which he fayed the admins tration preparedness program as made quate, and accused President Wilson of refusing to uphold the right for fear of offending the German American voters. His remarks had particular reference to German treatment of Belgium, whose neu trslity was violated, he claimed, without protest from President Wilson, and the conduct of the submarine warfare. "We should hold Germany responsible for every munitions plant destroyed in this coun- try" said the ex-president
