Writing under date of Eeby. 19th that place reports in d letter to local friends that the gold strike recently made by q veteran prospector and miner named Kruger Mir. Powers says he personally knows that the dis covcrer has been prospecting in and around the lower Yukon section for many years. According to Mir. Powers the Bonicilla takes it's rise in the same range of mountains as the Andreafslli, but flows in a somewhat more easter ly direction and nearly parallel to the Anvik. from which it is separated by about forty miles. It has been known for many years that gold in small quantities could he found in the area in which the Bonicilla is located and q considerable amount of prospecting has been carried on by q few men. The Bonicilla and Marshal strikes, however appear to be the only in stances in which definite pay has been located Mr. Powers says the mail carriers arriving at Unalakleet from across the Portage report that there is quite q stampede to the new strike from points up the Yukon. Referring ( ,Io i,ofI states that no new cases have develop ed in the St Michael district for more than two months but Unalakleet at the date of writing was still to some eN- tent under quarantine regulations for muluted by pr. Rundall, of Nulato The regulations compelled the mail carriers on the Unalakleet- Nome run to occupy quarters apart from those running over the Portage.
 This is rather inconvenient, Mr. Powers says, and several of the mail carriers have been heard to express their dissatisfaction with the onerous conditions under which they are fore ed to carry the mail as a result of the regulations.
 Inasmuch as there have been no. new cases of influenza in the St. Michael section for so long a period. and as there has not at any time been an appearance of the disease farther south than Walla W2lla, the writer says he cannot understand the why of the quarantine.

Although it is generally known
 from statement printed in Outside
 journals that a few Eskimo from Can-
 ada were included among the Allies in
 the war with Germany and her allies, it will be a surprise to the majority Of Nomeites to learn that one of our Es- kimo boys. a lad who was born and raised and lived in Northwestern Ala
 ska until ;t few years ago. was among the American troops who fought the Huns to a finish on the battle lines of France and Belgium. Writing to the Nugget from St. Michael under date oi March 12th., Barney O,Reilly, who is apparently the first person in this loc- ality to discover that an Alaskan Es- kimo was a participant in the Europ- can combat, states that the name Of the native is George Saggak. He al- so enclosed q number of letters writ
 ten by the boy himself from France and Belgium in the quaint "pigin'' English common to the Eskimo of this section. Mir. OReilly says that Sag gak is probably the only person from this part of Alaska who actually saw service on the firing line and ventures the ievw that he is racst certai- ly the only native. The letters were obtained by Mir. Reilly from relatives of the boy in the St. Michael section and, to quote from his communication to this paper, they not only portray the natives impression regarding ar my life but also show his ready adapt ability to the hardsh:ps and dangers connected herewith. from the time he entered Camp Lewis to his last ap-

Monster Alligator
Shot Near S. P. Bridge

A monster alligator, measuring II
feet in length, was shot near the
Southern Pacific bridge early this
morning. BY Mayor NJ. D. Shannon.
The big crocodile had q small fish
hook caught in his muth, and evident
1y had been stealing bait from some
fisherman's line. It is probably the
distress from this hook that caused
him to float about carelessly in these
waters. Mayor Shannon was not ex-
actly out on an alligator hunt this
morning, but was preparing to make
the trip to Franklin to meet the par
ty making the publicity run from
Galveston when a boatman ran up
and told of the alligator's presence.
Mr.. Shannon caught up shot gun
and buckshot she'll, and the mon
ster's roaming days were brought to
an end. 1t was an object of much in
terest out on the wharf, where sew
eral fisherman managed to haul it.
1t will be skinned by the man who
helped Mr.. Shannon kill it.
