EIGHTY BOYS
 NOT BE HERE

When the water runs in the spring and the mining game is In full swing there will be many vacancies in the ranks of the miners of the district, eighty at least. These men are at the present time in service at Fort Gibbon and from whichever angle you look at it they will not be on hand to take part in the annual ceremony of running the first dump thru the sluice boxes.
 While all of the people of the val. ley would be glad to welcome them back in their midst it is a circum. stance of war that will prevent their return. The men now stationed at the post will not be enabled to re- turn to Fairbanks until they are re- lieved from duty by troops sent in from the Outside. coming by the way of St. Michael. It is probable that their relief will not reach the post until some time in July or August, at which time the Alaska boys will be discharged. No solution of the problem can be offered and 1t Is a question of grin and-be thenkful that it is not worse.

SEATTLE Jan. 31.-It was an. nounced today by T. V. O'Connor. president of the longshoremer's uni on, that the members of that union would not go out on strike ih sup port of the shipyard men. The union is a strong one. having over four thousand members.
 O'Connor justifies his statement by "a little past history concerning some of the strikes in this city ard par ticularily recalls the time when the members of his union went out op a strike for better working condi. tions. At that time a request was made of other unions for just the same support as the shipyard men are asking for at the present time. 1t was refused. The president stat. ed that should the men go out 1t would result in having their char. tier revoked and the men would then receive no recognition from the fcd- eration.

CRUESONE FIND MISSING MAN
 ON RUBY TRAIL.

Perhaps never in the annals of the northland has a more grucsome tale been told than the one concern. ing the finding of the body of E. M. Haugen on the trail between Long creek and the North Fork of the In. noko river. The news of the finding of the body was received in a recent letter from the lower river city
 It will be remembered that Hau- gen and Vincent Kaucheck. partners, were on their way to Ruby from Cripple creek, which place they left on December 9th. last. This was during the extreme cold spell in the country adjacent to Ruby. In mak. ing the trip from Cripple the men in some manner became lost and were compelled to "siwash" 1t for a cou. pie of night. Kaucheck's feet had become frozen and he struck out ahead of Haugen to find cabin or some other refuge. That was the last seen of Haugen until during the middle of January, when his remains were found. Kaucheck was later picked up by a party of miners and prot to Long City and later sent to Fort Gibbon.
 On hearing of the condition of Haugen a searching party at once set out and instituted a vigorous search for the missing maa. Owing to the extreme cold 1t was fore gone conclusion that he had perished. as his food supply was low and bed. ding scarce. The search was cnntin. ued for many days and the efforts of the party were rewarded by coming across both the remains of the man and that of his faithful dog. which had remained at his siGe even in death. Instead of the frozen body the party found nothing hut the skeleton of the man, scarce thirty pounds in weight, and that badly dismembered. The dog. aoun- and thih aiu ou tie verge oi Stdr'htion, had devoured the corpse of his master to sustain its life.
 Mortified. the searching party gath. cred up what remained of Haugen and brot it to Long, where i, was given the last rites of the northern. CT. The deceased before his ceath had worked all summer for S:~and. berg. at Flat and had received no pay for his services.
