STRIKES BUT N osTAMPEDE
Seward Post)

Seward POsD
 Stampedes are mysterious things and come with. out regard tO the value of the discovery. Some of the widest little Stampedes in Alaska have been 10 creeks where there was about color to the square foot of bedrock
 There now exists in the Iditarod. Lower Yukon and Lower Kuskokwim all the elements for a stam- pede and yet there is stampede
 The strike TOIStO is extensive and the pay has been lined up the creeks. It is going be a good camp. Additional discoveries would make it a regu- lar bonanza
 Down at Marshall City pay has been lined up on a creek running into the Lower Yukon and more gold taken last season than during the first year at Fairbanks There a little stampede over more than the tame migration of gold miners to a camp.
 Pay has also been lined up on Spruce Creek, tributary Co Bear on the Lower KuskOkwim
 The latter discoveries show that there is a gold bearing belt extending south from the Seward Penin- sua toward the Bristol Bay country through country where the trails of men few and far apart.
 Past events in Alaska show that the rich pay in new districts is found the result of stampedes Men rush m and find the creek where pay dis covered located and then rush Co other creeks and put down not one hole, but hundreds. A stampede 10 the Lower Yukon would have unlimited possibilities but there Is stampede.
 Where the old timers of the Camps of Chaos?"
 Can it be that the boys Os 9S who have been in On every camp worth while longer get the itching feeling when they see new pay a strange run, or has Father Time worked his will and made faint the limbs or those whose spirit is still strong?
 An explanation which is more plausible is that recent stampedes to Shushanna and east the Mat anuska divide were unwarranted and worked up, and me old timer IS wary. With age comes certain keenneSS or perception and a desire to Sand back and let the younger generation rush hither and yOn but the younger generation isn't showing much enthusiasm on rushes, hence the placer camps the Lower Yll- SOn dawdling along somewhat after the pattern of l quartz mining district.

German men-orwar made trouble for him by maneuverjng between is ships and the shore. He designated portion Of the bay for neutral vessels, and informed the German admiral to take his ships 60 the neutral waters and keep them there or he would fire them In the long weeks that passed before the arrival of warshps and troops he showed that he only a sea fighter but that he understood international law and could handle critical diplomatic situation in superb manner

A NOTED CHARACTER

In the passing of Tom Lloyd of Fairbanks on July IT, Alaska loses one of it's most picturesque figures and most noted characters. It was Tom Lloyd who arranged and headed the expedition that succeeded in scal- ing the precipitous heights of Mt. Mo Kinley in the year 1909. In the par ty were Archdeacon Stuck and liar ry Carsen, better known as the For ty Mile Kid. Their ascent, while spectacular in the extreme, was also the means of disproving the claims of the famed Dr. Cook.
 Toms death, while not coming as a complete surprise, was a shock to his many friends scattered througout the Territory. He had been ailing for an extended period with heart trou- ble, but otherwise was in robust health and at sixty five years of age was considered youngster. The fun eral took place in Fairbanks and was attended by the hundreds of his friends who were in town at the time. Democrat.
