 PAY FROM BETHEL

Danny" Brice arrived in Seward Saturday night from Bethel on the Kuskowim after a nice little jaunt of over 1000 miles.

 Several years ago Brice came through Seward outbound when things had been going against him. He had to get outside and a local merchant had hunch that Danny was the right sort, so he staked him for the trip. After seeing his people he came right back and went at it with the spirit that wins. He is in the pay now and it is coarse gold, exceedingly coarse, as some of it is in chunks the size of bullet egg.
 Danny is guest at the Seward and he left his poke at the Seward Com mercial company for safe keeping in Bill" Sauers safe. He is going out. side to see his people again with proot that he is in the pay.

The obser- yer did not remain in the dangerous atmosphere except when taking sam ples Of the gas and was not exposed to the poisonous air longer than three minutes on the whole.
