OLD TIMER RETURNS

Albert Lind who returned to Sew ward on the s. s. Northwestern last Saturday night after a years mushing over foreign trails, is stopping at the Seward Hotel. After spending several months in tho states he visited the Fly. der camp and from that camp went to Ketchikan where 2 boat was built by Mir. Lind and his two partners for
 trip up the Chickaloon River. They reached the head of the river where the Salmon River glacier forms he d. viding line between that point and the Hyder country. After spending two months in this district the party re- turned to Ketchikan. Much prospect ing was done a highly mineralized country was found, but little accom- plished because of the snow. When asked if he would return to that coan. try Mr. Lind said that as yet he Aad not fully made up his mind. The life of a prospector at all times is . hard graft but under existing conditions t is made doubly so. The high prize of supplies of all kinds and the seaeeisy of prospectors in the interior make the venture gamble. Most of the old prospectors have left the interior camps and are now working along the coast where the wages paid are satfie- iently large to enable them to live comfortably In the old days when there were possibly fifty men scatter ed over an area of one hundred square miles prospecting was facinating game of chance. The passage of the gold bonus bill will undoubtedly st;m- ulate prospecting again, but until it does pass and the price: of necessary supplies decreases there will be DO great activity along this line. MT. Lind who is widely known throughout Alas ka as Smiling Albert" is optumiseic as to the future of Alaska and still thinks that there are many districts in the Territory that will become large producers of gold when they are pro. perly developed. He will go to Au- chorage on the next train for visit and may return to Seward ct . later date.
