PEDRO GREEK
 MINING MAN
 LEAVES SOON

IL is long trek from Interior Alaska to Interir Brazil, but that is a trip on which I'd Kludvig, the Pedro creek mining man, will leave in the next few days. MT. kludyig is now in town from Pedro, and eX- poets to go Outside on one of the next outgoing autos.
 IL is perhaps useless to state that MT Kludvig, in making the trip, is seeking the proyerbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. For his intention in going is to get into the mining game in Brazil if possible af- ter having mined for several years on Pedro and other creeks in the vicinity of Fairbanks.
 MT. kludvig expects first to go to the state of Chihua hua, Mexico, to look into a mining proposition. He is not sure that he will remain there, however, on account of the of conditions in that country, in which event he will move on toward South America.
 It is practically certain that MT. Kludvig will get along we'll in any of the places that he contemplates visiting, as far as being able to talk to the inhabitants is concerned, for he is an accomplished linguist, speak ing practically all of the languages of the civilized world today.
