A. A. WAKEFIELD
 SHOULD BE HERE

The Seaketch that left town yes terday for Waterfall will investi- gate the absence of A. A. Wakefield who left Ketchikan Christmas day and intended to return about the 18th of January.
 MT. Wakefield is doing some as- sessment work at Gold Harbor, and when he left town he had only enough provisions to last until a. bout January 15.
 To date nothing has been heard from him and because of the bad weather it was feared that he was out of provisions and unable to get to town, as the George B, the boat he went out on, is too small to face the present bad weather.
 The Forest Service intended send ing out the Tahn to investigate, but after it was learned that the Sea- ketch was going over they decided to wait until the mail arrived from the West Coast, or, the Seaketch returned, before making further in- vestigations.
 The mail rrives from there to- day and the Seaketch about Tues day night or Wednesday.
