the lakes that are continually forming the glaciers only to break loose when the ice gives way. A few hours before he had been in the track of this rag ing flood.
 Barclay came out on that trip to the head of the Nizina river and to Me Carthy. where he met his death.
 He had discovered a great ledge, the mineral of which was unfamiliar to him at that time, but three years ago he was convinced that it was tungsten. A Salt Lake mining man then at McCar- thy on his way to the Shushanna strike became interested and Barclay volun- | teered to make a trip and try to get samples. However, floods prevented him from reaching there in time, as it was towards the close of the summer season.
 Barclay was interested with Dan Rice and others in the Mount Me Kin ley Mining Company at Mckinley Lake thirty-seven miles from Cordova. near the railroad. It is understood that this property has been included in the op- tions recently taken by Col. B. F. Mill ard of Valdez.
 Barclay had prospected nearly the whole of the coast of Alaska. His friends called him the lovable charact- CT. He could entertain them by the hour. having a rare talent in telling of experiences.
 It was his creed never to kill any an- imal unless it was necessary for food He sometimes spoke of sister or rel atiye living somewhere in the East, but never touched upon intimate affairs save to those whom he1knew closely. In fact, Jimmy the bear" typified the real American prospector, said his friends today. However, he died as he would have wished-in his beloved hills of Alaska, they said. Money val ue meant nothing IO nllh anu "AoA OlIS time the mine in which he was inter- ested was bonded to the Guggenheims for S300,O0O0 he decided that in event of the deal going thru he would con tinue prospecting in the vicinity of Mount St. Elias. He wanted to return and make a better examination of the quartz he had discovered.

NOTED ALASKAN IS
 KILLEDIN SN0WSLIDE
tValdez Prspector)

James Barclay, better known as Jimmy the Bear" was killed in snow slide on Mccarthy mountain at the end of the Copper River X Northwestern Railway in Alaska over a week ago, along with Alexander Hermann, an other old-time prospector. while doing i assessment work for claims owned by the Bonanza Mining Company. He was one of the best known characters in Alaska.
 ] He was given the name of Jimmy the Bear in the Washington state logging camps in the early days. He was camp cook. He returned to the cook house after a trip in the woods while the men were away one day, and as he entered the place there was a loud wool" wool" and large sized cub knocked him of his feet and rushed out
 ] Jimmy got to his feet. was somewhat dark in the interior. With another wool, ''woof," a second cub knocked him down and rushed out. i Scarcely had he reached his feet be- fore the mother rushed out. Then fol- lowed the male bear. Jimmy eontin- ued to sit on the floor and some of the men arriving at this crisis. he asked them to please look and see if there were any more bears in the place be fore he got up.
 The appellation of Jimmy the Bear" followed him to Alaska and many knew him by that name who do not know what his real name was.
 Barclay was the first white man to cross the Malaspina glacier. He had mined in early days on the Yukutat beach and conceived the idea that the gold, instead of being washed up from the sea, as many believed, comes from the interior through glacial action. His companions on the beach called it crazy idea, since short excursions into the ice fields showed many dangers and difficulties.
 Barclay, however, was determined Few men in Alaska knew how to live better of the country" He had been on numerous occasions when all the grub was gone and lived on roots and game. Barclay had really wonderful knowledge of the nutritious qualities of many growing plants anr herbs.
 The Malaspina Glacier extends to the base of Mount St. Elias, with occasion al breaks, as he found on his trip. It also connects with the great Miles Gla cier which extends southward from Copper River Valley at Mile 50. and in that section of Alaska are the most extensive ice fields, reaching to the Al aska range.
 Barclay kept a diary of his trip, and it tells wonderful story. Many times his life was in danger. He came ac- ross samples of quartz which were ex- tremely rich, but so surrounded by ice fields that no one else has ever visited them. At one place he camped near a lake. While sleeping he was awak- ened by a terrible roaring sound, and saw a sight permitted to few men. An immense lake stretching before him
 suddenly disappeared. It was one oi

WAR AT FRONT DOOR KEEPS PRIEST ON EDGE People from the City Can See Artillery Duel in full Progress
 During the Day.

A correspondent of the Lnodon Times writing from the Austrian front line, says:
 This city has war in it's front yard and seems to have become accustomed to il. The people of Trieste saunter leisurely to the pier of San Carlo in theafternoon, when the weather is good. and watch the drum fire at and near Monfalcone. Glasses are not needed to watch these artillery duels. They can see actual battles from their cafes and at night they go 10 sleep counting the dull reports of some bom- bardment over at the lsonzo.
 At night Trieste is dark. Here and there street lamp is lighted ill the in- terior streets. From the high house walls breaks an occasional ray of light thru the shutters. The display of the Adriatic has long ago ceased 10 interest. Even the fine colored eX- hibiticns along the coast no longer draw crowd.
 The air raids Of the Italians have done little damage to Trieste itself, tho some results have been achieved at points nearby Some say that the city has escaped bombardment because the Italian government does not want to earn the ill-wiu of the citizens it hopes 10 acquire by taking Trieste.
 Upon the city looks from the north west the Hermada, key to Trieste, a mountain whose crest is about three miles long and from 500 to $50 feet high. Before the Italians can take Trieste. the Hermada must be reduc- ed. This would not be true did the Italian navy venture into the North Adriatic. The Austro- Hungarian na- ". tho inferior in numbers, has so far prevented this mainly by virtue of the submarines, one of which comes oc- casionally to the surface in view Of the waterfront

Macmillan Polar Expedition Arrives
in Sydney After Four Years
Up North.

SYDNEY, \. s, Aug 27-Donald B.
MacMillan's Arctic exploration expedition
arrived here last night on the relief
steamer Neptune after four years spent
in the Polar regions.
Macmillan, who was one OF Rear Admi-
raj Peary's Heutenants on his successful
dash for the North Pole, confirmed pre-
vious dispatches from him that there was
no Croker Land, such as had been report
ed by Peary. Pearys mistake>was due to
a mirage so real that the Macmillan party
were deceived by it for four days, he said
The first objective of the Macmillan eH
petition, which was organized under the
auspices of the American Museum of Nat
ural History and the cooperation of the
| University of Illinois, was to prove Of
disprove the existence OF Peary's Crocke1
Land, which has been a prolific source o
dispute among geographers and scientists
The next purpose Of the expedition wa
| to conduct a survey Of the Greenland ic
cap. While Macmillan did not deny tina
he had made some discoveries, he was ret
icent concerning them, saying he was I'm
