The new discovery is said to have been made by two prospectors named Nielsen and Ferguson. who will mine during the coming winter. The ground is said to carry good values with the gold well distributed and is believed to be an old river channel. Another strike is also reported to have been made on Lynx creek another stream in the same locality about q mile or so from California creek, the values being very similar to those discovered in the lat ter stream.

One of the first subscribers to the Fourth Liberty Loan in this section was Sol Berg. one of the enlisted mon at Ft Davis. who was recently induct- ed from the Kiana district. Private Berg's contribution to the new loan was S3.450. all of which he had saved while working for wages in the Kiana section during the past year or two. A few days ago he applied to Lieu tenant KollocIl with d request that that officer take charge of his money for safe keeping and the latter i'm mediatey suggested Liberty Bonds and War Stamps. with the result that the stated sum was paid into one of the local banks for Liberty Bonds and an additional sl0oo was invested in War Saving stamps.

Tho Fourth Liberty Loan campaign was ushered in Saturday morning with a blure of noise that made the echoes ring and set the malamutes to howling a doleful paean that lasted for about ten minutes Every steam whistle and bell in the city contributed to the clamor and even the vessels in the harbor added their qdcta by sound ing the rumhlng bass of their fog whistles. The Coast Guard station was decorated for the occasion with streaming flags and hunting and the Coast Guard vessel Was also gay with a multitude of flags drapcd across the masts from stem to stern The Coast Guard boys also unlimbered the Lyle gun and punctured the clamor with sharp discharges which were scarcely noticeable amidst all the racket.

uook for the future forotold that Alas ko was to hardly likely to go over the top in the fourth Liberty Loan drive. and also despite the additional fact that the campaign is scarcely three days old Alaska already heads the list of states which have filled their loan quota. Furthcrmorc. Alaska is prob ably the only state orr territory in the nion that has already achieved this distinction. And it all happened this way. The Alaska Packers Aseocia- Uon, sometimes known as the Fish Trust which supplies the world with the greater part of the millions of cans of salmon found in almost every market of the world, has subscribed the entire Alaska quota of the Fourth Liberty Loan, amounting to Sl,369, 400 The subscription was made by telc- graph through the various banks in the Territory Saturday morning. Tho Packers Association arranged matters so that each town and district received l sufficient sum to cover it's quota, so that every town and section through put Alaska was "over the top" almost In the hour in which the campaign started.
 The quota of tho Nome district. amounting To $1SS.5OO. was ordered through the two local banks, the Min IFS X Merchants Bank receiving a subscription of $125.SO0 end the Alaska Banking X safe Deposit O., one of S62 700.
 masmuch as the entire quota of the district and territory is already taken. the effort will be made to double the luota during the campaign through other sources of subscription. and there is a strong prospect that the Alaska quota, if not actually doubled. will come very close to it. as the mum ificcnt subscription of the Alaska Packers will undoubtedly serve as q stimulus to other corporations doing business in the territory and cause them to subscribe sums that will prob ably be larger than under ordinary circumstances The prospect that Alaska may double her quota may also act as a spur to individual subscrip- lions and prophecies are already being made that the territory will make q record answer to the Loan call. The committee in charge of the campaign in this district met yesterday after noon and laid plans for carrying on the campaign with rush Repre- sentatives have also been designated at tll outlying points to handle the campaign in their individual districts
