 Rogers creek is ten miles long and pans fully as good as Seymour, if not better.
 Ellis creek, three miles long, which flows into Seymour from the east, was prospected it's entire length, but no gold was. found on it. There is big volume of water in Ellis creek, however, which can be damned at slight expense and used for either sluicing of hydraulicking purposes.
 Kitchener creek, 16 miles long, shows light colors in the gravel, but owing to the water coming in on them at three- feet below the sur face of the ground, it was found i'm possible to do much prospecting.
 The best way to get into the dig yings at present is from Selllirk via ne Irdll recently Cut out Dy Gllls. By this route it is 46 miles, or two lays travel By way of Carmacks it is about two and a half days travel After the freeZe-up the best -oute will be over the ice from the mouth of Big Creek.

ALASkANS ARE
 'FRISKED" BY
 SEATTLE POLICE

When the steamship Alameda, of the Alaska Steamship Company sail ed homeward from Southwestern Al aska, some 100-odd first-class passen gers did not have quart bottles snugly hidden away in the old suit case in each room, says the Seattle Times of recent date. And having no quart bottles hidden away, not a single one of the 100-odd planned taking something ashore" in Seat tie.
 The 100-odd may have shown . propensity to gaze lingeringly at the old suitcase and may even have smacked their lips as they gazed Or they may have exchanged mean ing glances when anyone spoke of customs officers and dry squads, '' but all that was mere coincidence "a singular coincidence, it is true, but still these coincidences will hap pen and anyway, fellows, we Alas kans must hang together.
 The Alameda docked at Pier ? Sunday.
 In dense crowd, passengers flocked to the gangplank Each of the 100-odd was seeking to press his way well to the front, all being anxious to get ashore. Each carried suitcase.
 Police Appear l.
 Then came another coincidence A squad of Seattle police appeared on the wharf at the foot of the gangplank.
 Looking for booze among the pas sengers, heyl" yelled a newsboy Brisk them all sergeant"
 The 1OO-odd did not stop pressing forward. Nor did they begin sneak ing back in the crowd. Nor did the, vanish. Nor did they appear, a few minutes later, one by one, on the other side of the vessel. Nor did each one furtively drop a quart bot tie into the boy. Some people may have thought they saw the 100-odd doing all this, but in this case "some people" suffered an hallun citation.
 If the 100-odd did do vanishing act, which is not admitted (nobody's admitting anything)- g)-but if they did do vanishing act, let the heavens bear witness that in nearly every case it was simply to get that old umbrella that had been forgotten in the stateroom. Everybody's always forgetting that umbrella. True, one prominent Alaskan dropped his um brella over the other side of the ship and it sank like a stone, but it seems he had not forgotten his rain-diverter in the first place. He forgotten his umbrella.
 Nothing To Do With Quarts
 If the 100-odd ever did sneak away from the gangplank, they were not surprised of course when they returned to that side of the ship to learn that the police had merely come down to the gangplank tc watch for some petty criminal who had nothing whatever to do with quarts or "dry squads"
 The 100-odd did not get mad when they heard this. They had no req son to get mad for of course. as painfully explained in the foregoing they never had even thought of "tak ing something ashore"
 And if any of the 100-odd are found gazing at the waters in the Pier slip. with tears rolling down their cheeks and suppressed signs and groans issuing from their lips, and their teeth gnashing, there should be no suspicion. For they are mere ly affected-dry throated, as it were from listening to the sobbing sor. row of the sad sea waves
 In the meantime, boy, look ur the addresses of all the Seattle di- vers who like a night job.
