CCLD STRIKE
 Is REPORTED.

Nenana News: The discovery of gold in what appears to be paying quantities on Moose creek, in the loklat country, has aroused much interest i'll that district, and the yIe-ent indlCatlouS are that QuIle q. Iumber of people will stampede to ,ne new u4gglngs from Nenana. The report ol the ind Was brought to ,oMn several days ago by rIed Hou- oellnan, the dlscoVeler. whJ arrived uIlecL from Moose creek with poke containing $l,0UO ln dust, which he claims to have taken out of h4s ,ember. Houselman l. an oldtimer i'll ,he 1oklat and Nantlshna districts. and this is not the first time that ne has fund the pay streak the4 e. -,early ten years ago he dlScoVefeu pay on the NantiSAna side of the 44 '4de on creek also known as Moo e.. md he has devoted most of his tlme o,nce then to r~spectlng in that neighborhood, confident that he would agaIn land on the pay. The ocene of the HouSellnan find is we4 Anown to all oldtlmers Of the Kan t.s.na. In fact, it has been known
 or Ing time that the creek Cal lied gold, but it remained for Hou el man to uncover good pay. The pay atIeak is rather narrow, but the ground is shallow and comparativel! easy to work. 1t is something of d task. however. to land supplies on the creek.
 Moose creek. which is about ninety miles from Nenana by way of the Thirty-mile station. on the right ot way, is small stream. not over three miles in length, but it is par equally promising in appearance, So that the outlook for the district may be said to be reasona bly,, en couraging.
 When the dscoverer arrived in Nenana he deposited the gold with Fuwler & Morris, intending to SC cure an outfit later in the seaSon and return to his find. At present he is in Fairbanks. having gone to the upper town the day following his arrival here.

NARRATIVE POETRY.

At last some of the younger poets are beginning to give narration in heir poetry One of the best Of .hese is the poem of the ships b. John Masefield The title of tn, poem is the "Wanderer" There is ln this poem the same indomitabl, spirit that is to be found in Paradis' Lost. Then the simple direct story s one of the things that goes toward making the work of the English poe of so much pleasure to the reading public.
 It is good that the writers ar, getting back to the older forms. On, of the pleasures of the great poems is the story interest. That is the case from Homer to the moderu times. Somehow the influence O. Byron and of those lyric poets th; Ire interested in presenting so littl, emotion or belief of their own, has been the prevailing tone in the re ;ent verse.
 Now a few of them are using tn story again and that may have {; great deal to do with the sudden d., land for poetry. Perhaps there more poetry being written and reaC now than there has been since tn, Jays when poetry was the singl, method of expression. The reason for that is not very hard to dis cover. If that form of literatu lses the narrative form it's sim plicity, restraint and brevity make it most readable writing. True poetry s much more condensed than the novel To the busy that is distinl, .'elief for it does not take so much time to read a given article.
