ICEBERG POOR CRAFT TO. GET
 TO SIBERIA ON

OTTAWA. Feb. 26.-R-The ar. rival on the north coast of Alaska on November 7th last of explorer Stephenson and four companions by means of an iceberg is announced in despatch to this city from Fort Yukon, Alaska.
 The despatch stated that the ex. plorer and his four companions em. parked on a huge iceberg during March of last year with the idea that the ocean currents would carry them to the coast of Siberia in the drift to the westward.
 According to the despatch they wound up after six months travel at practically the same place they started from. the current merely taking them around as if in . biz eddy. Their discovery upsets the theory that the westward current w1shsd the shores of Siberia.

GERMAN UNION
 NOW DEMANDED
 BY AUSTRIANS

BASIL. Feb. 25.-R)-According to late advices received here it is pos. sible that a union between Germany and Austria will be effected in the near future. the whole to be known as the German republic.
 At Vienna the majority of the peo. pie favor this measure to . consider. able extent. in fact. demands have been made that the union be made.
 Last Monday . meeting was held between the socialists of both coun. tries and 1t was practically agreed that such a course be taken. The only possible hitch to effectins the union will probably arise over the establishing of the capital city. Neith- CT Berlin or Vienna is considered as being geographically right for that honor. The Austrians wish to have the capital located as near . cen. tral position as is possible. that no class fayoritism can be considered. Should this be agreed upon 1t Is more than likely that the merging of the two nations into a republic will be effected.
 Foreign Minister Bauer. of Ger. many. made . trip to Wsimar to at. tend Q meeting there on the same proposition and will enter into ne. Botiations with Austria for the pur. pose of effecting the union.

GOVERNORS ARE IN ACCORD ON
 FLU MEASURES
Especial to The Citixen.)


 DAWSON. Y. T.. Feb. 25.--By an arrangement made between Governor Riggs. of the territory of Alaska, and Governor Mckenzie. of the Yukon Territory. the quarantine which has existed at Skagway since last Oc. tober was lifted today.
 A special provision was made that all ships entering the port of Skag. way must have . clean bill of health before the passengers will be al. lowed to land and no one will be allowed to land there from an infect ed ship unless they are detained for the usual period of incubation of the disease.
 The Yukon territory will impose a special precaution on this side of the international line whereby no one will be allowed to pass Carcross un. less five days out from the last in. fected port. Should . case be de tected on arrival at Carcross the vic. ums will be detained in @ large building which Is now fully equipped for detention hospital. Carcross Is the gateway for the Yukon and At, lin countries.
 Dr. Clarke. of Whitehorse, and Dr. Cable. of Skagway. will cooperate in the most rigid examinations and will allow no one to pass who Is not out of the last infected port for at least the full period of incubation. Tclephonic communication between tho two places will keep both the doctors in constant touch with each other. Canadian coast ports which are not infected at the present time have been asked to notify White. horse of any infection which may de. velop there. All Alaskan ports will notify the physician at Skagway.
 Governor Riggs has wired tha, Skagway is free of the influenza and has lifted the quarantine against travel to the interior of Alaska by the various routes.
 Not one case has developed in the Yukon country north of Skagway 50 the territory is very jealous to keep health conditions perfect. It is main. tained that if the disease once starts in this vicinity 1t may sweep merci. less turnout the section until the susceptible ones are all gone. The quarantine thus far has been perfect in its results. Not one death has oc. cured in Dawson from any cause since the Sophia disaster last Oc. tober.

Especial men. tion is made of their action in com. ing to the rescue of General Kalmik. off at the time his troops mutinied. At that time the Americans disarm. ed and arrested fifteen hundred Cos. sacks and are still holding them pris- oners pending the decision of the military council.
 The colonel stated that he had no intention of sheilding or defending any political parties. He was there as the representative of. the American people to accomplish a certain task and he intended to do 1t.

PLACER MEN OPTIMISTIC.
North siders Have Good Season and
Plan Spring Work.

Archie Smith, veteran placer miner
OF the Eagle creek district, was in
town during the week and carries an
optimistic air over conditions in gen.
eral on the North Side. Mr.. Smith
states he had good season in his
placer work and made a good sized
cleanup when bedrock was al scraped.
He is now laying plans for spring
work and will he ready for the high
water to assist him in getting down to
bedrock
Mr. Smith is one of the boosters for
the Murray railroad and states that
all that is holding back regular ship
tments from several of the well devel-
oped mines of that section is lack of
rail transportation. The long wagon
houl to Prichard or Delta is more than
the values can stand, whereas, with a
railroad available the mines could
produce a regular tonnage.
He states that the Eagle creek pro-
perties are all looking good, with con-
siderable development work now un-
der way The Jack Waite has been
making some shipments and has LOT
of ore available awaiting rail trans
portation facilities. The Columbus is
going steadily ahead with definite
program of development work and
should open up a producer, in the
opinion of Mr.. Smith. The Samson
company did some work in the shaft
during the summer and installed ma
chinery with which to carry on the
shaft work outlined for next spring.
The Phedora and Bonanza groups
were also under development during
the summer and fall and it is under

DISABLED SOLDIERS.
Ex-Service Men May Be Unaware OF
Their Rights.

Every man who was in the military
or naval service of the United States
during the late war, and who on ac-
count of such service is not physical
ly fitted to engage at once in a gainful
occupation should at once notify the
bureau of war risk insurance at
Washington, d. C.
Under the law this bureau is charg-
ed with providing for service men
discharged because of disability in
Cured in active service in the line of
duty, compensation and free medical
treatment until such time as they are
restored to physical fitness. During
the summer of 1918 there was a gen.
eral combing out of the military train
ing camps of the country in an effort
to bring up the standard of physical
fitness and many men discharged at
that time may be unaware of their
rights under an act of congress to
for disability and medi-
cal attention and hospital treatment
where necessary. All cases of this or
like nature should be brought i'm
mediately to the attention of the bu-
reau of war risk insurance.

fault that has been observed in the
Northern Light and Amy-Matchless
mines, although no fault can be traced
continuously in the greatly disturbed
and contorted states that lie below
the quartzite beds of the Prichard be-
tween the Placer creek fault and the
Northern Light mine.
Other Faults.
Many other faults occur in the Pine
creek basin. particularly in the Pri-
chard formation, but they have no
pronounced topographic expression
and were noted chiefly In mine work
ings. Along some Of these faults ore
deposition has occurred, but other
faults cut the ore bodies. In general
they trend northwesterly, but some
trend east of north and others nearly
due east.
A fault that is apparently of con-
siderable magnitude marks the boun-
dairy, at least in part. between the
Prichard states and the Burke and
Revett quartzites in the area between
the Placer creek and Osburn faults.
This fault can not be readily traced
on the surface, but on either side Of
it near the head of Government gulch
strikes and dips were not
ed. and there is an abrupt change
from slate to quartzite. This fault
may be the one designated by o. II.
Hershey, the Government gulch fault.
North of the Placer creek fault
belt of sheared dixie rocks extends
along a small stream tributary to
Ross fork. The shearing of the dixie
locks is attributed to faulting.
In the Hypotheek mine fault dis
places the vein, and in the X. c., Spo-
tame, International and Sherman
prospects other faults were noted.

After reasonable hole had been
sunk, the doctor placed therein ths
two barrels. All this was carried ~
with proper air of mystery. Tho
barrels were then filled with loose
earth, the burlap tightly stretched
over the head of each and the string
knotted fast about them while the doc.

was satisfactorily mysterious in the
primitive mind.
The doctor then. rose and warned

to look in the barrels for two DAYS

with great emphasis that if any one

The natives, well pleased with all
this procedure, returned happily to
their domiciles to await the day. When
