LATEST REPORT OF STRIKE HAS
 BEEN RECEIVED

The latest news concerning the new strike reported in The Citizen Sun day morning has been received. Syl vester Howell Is in receipt of a tele gram from Frank O'Farrell giving all of the particulars and advising against a stampede. as grub is a scarce article.
 The message received by Mir. How ell states that the scene of the strike Is on the Stuyahok river. a tribu tary of the Bontsilla. and is about twelve miles from the Yukon river opposite the Doghsh village below Holy Cross. Concerning the acti. vities the message states that pros. poets have been found in Henderson, Last Chance and Flat creeks. One hole put to bedrock on the Hazel bench netted forty cents to the pan from . general average of ten pans taken out. The ground Is wet and 1t Is fourteen feet to bedrock. The pay was evidently taken from slides as no gravel was found.
 About hundred men are on the scene at the present time. The send. or of the pessage stated that grub was scarce and 1t would not be ad. visable to stampede for while.
 The Stuyahok heads in about op. posite the Dogfish village and runs parallel to the Yukon river. running in the upstream direction. It joins the Bonisilla about twelve miles above the Yukon, the Bonisilla run. ming at right angles to the Stuyahok. heading to the eastward.
 Those intending to take in the new strike would probably do better by continuing down the Yukon from Holy Cross. striking in from the big bend on the right limit few miles above the fish village, at which place 1t is not over twelve miles across.

FOUR BILLION
 ESTIMATE NEED
 FOR NEXT YEAR

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-R)-Es. inmates gathered by Secretary of the Treasury Carter Glass from the vari' ous department indicate that the needs of the government will require a considerable expenditure of money during the coming year. It is esti mated that over four billion dollars will be required by all departments.
 The money will be raised by taxa tion and the levying of additional taxes. It is probable that short term securities will be sold to cover the deficiency between the amounts re- quired and that raised by taxation
 The expenses for the fiscal year ending on June 3Oth has been placed at from six to ten billions.

WEST FORK STRIKE IS
 BELIEVED TO eE FIzZLE

From all indications the West Fork stampede will turn out to be a fizzle-another prospector's dream gone. Pete Maconi and another man known as "Macaroni Pete" recently sank a hole 80 feet to bedrock. At the 50.foot mark they found four fine colors; at 60 feet they found two colors and on bedrock they found nothing.

JACK HEATH IS
 IN COAST TOWN

By one of the coast papers 1t Is ascertained that Jack Heath Is now located at Cordova. being in the em. ploy of the large mercantile estab- lishment of Blum. O'Neill Co.
 It is the same old story over again. They all start for the land of prom ise-the great Outside-but they all come back to the land of an as sured thing-Alaska. With Ben Sher man locating there and Jack casting his lot with the Cordovans 1t Is more than likely that a Fairbanks com munity will spring up there.

PATENT ISSUED
 FOR HOMESTEAD

In the local United States land office there was received in the last mail a patent to homestead filed upon by Herman Muatkajari, giving him title to a piece of land a short distance off the Valdez trail.
 The land lies in that portion of Section 16 which abutts on the Cinema river and comprises 324.96 acres. Clear creek runs thru the homestead. furnising ample drainage for the property. The ground Is high and dry and should be very productive, once it is placed in condition for farming.

l3ssT T FOR OIL AT MAGNOLIA
Two Wells Being Drilled and Four
 More are Planned.

Magnolia, Sept. 20.-The oil boom has struck Magnolia and much inter est has been aroused over the pros poets for discovering oil in Columbia county Two wells are being drilled in the county, third derrick is be- ing erected and three other tests are to start in the near future,
 The county borders Clairmorne par ish, La. where rich s.rikes of oil have been made. In the Columbia field more than 40 producing wells have been brought in since tue first of the year and new wells are being brought in almost daily. Two wells are re ported to be producing several thou eand barrels ol oil daily, one owned rT the Standard Oil Company and the osier by the Rowe Oil Corporation.
 Tfis field is n miles from the sec tion of Columbia county where the tests are being conducted. Geogolists are confident the same oil sands ani the same structure exists here as in the GsdrEcIne field.
 The South Arknsas Oil and Gas Company has leased on about 20.000 acres in the southern and eastern sec tions of Columbia county and is pre- pairing to drill three test wells.
 Operators are hopeful of finding oil in the county because it extends along the divide between the Ouachita and Red rivers. The divide extends into Claiborne parish and part or the wells brought in are located on the divide and just west of 1t.

He had been without other faod and drink seven days and nights Chief Officer Moody of the Bayronto and Wireless Operator Cole were among the survivors.
 The Bayronto, the survivors said, foundered in heavy seas during the gulf hurricane All but two Of the iifeboats were smashed by the waves, and in one of these Chief Officer Moody and the ten men put to sea with only five gallons of water and 100 biscuits.
 Two days after leaving the vessel, running short of water they spread their oiled coats and caught half bucket of rain water. When the sup ply of biscuits ran out, they caught a few fish and ate them raw. Finding the sun intensely hot, they poured salt water over themselves to keep cool, but this only caused the sun to blister their nearly naked bodies Once they sighted large tWo-masted scooner and sent up distress rockets, but the schoo}er.
