For the second time in less than
nine months, Virginia has been dis
graccd by Il lynching. The ciIcum.
stances were as outrageous in Bruins
wick us in the affairs of November
Is. 1920, in Wise County. Not tho
slightest palliation Of any So car
be offered for Il murder as cru,! as
that for which the Negro was strung
up.
II Governor Davis had received any
intimation of impending trouble, no
would have sent troops to Luwl cnCc
vile at once. AS ii is, all he can do,
is what he already has douu- order
an investigation ana u vigorous proso
cution of any persons who may DO
found implicated. 1t is to be hoped
that these steps will not be futile, for
this is the second lynching in Bruins
wick county since 1900. But who cN

have made to protect his prisoner,
The News Leader can make this gen
eral statement without application to
this particular case; There rests ul
on the law officers Of every county a
solemn responsibility to prevent u
lynchng, even at the risk Of their
lives. No sheriff worthy OF the name
"Nirginia" would hesitate for mo-
ment to so after Il bad man." though
that man might be hidden in Il thick
Ct or within house, armed to the
teeth. The sheriff would reason that
he had TO apprchcnd the law-breakcr
and lie would die in the attempt By
exactly the same reasoning, every law
officer who meets Il mob should hest
ta.e at nothing to protect his priso
ner. Usually the risk is not as great
as it seems, for there are cases al
most without number in which II sin.

which he ought to be removed anu

"Mirages of gold at the end of the rainbow" are not confined to any one locality, and every district in Alaska has it's share of Host mines" the old stories being revived by the re cent hunt and death of old man Johnson for the Lost Locker Mine" on Sylvia creek, Windham Bay dis trict
 Most old timers remember the stampede in early days from Nome for fablci creek of gold which was thought to be somewhere in the Koyukuk district. within the Arc tic circle north of the Yukon A number lost their lives on that stam- pede.
 Then there was the stampede from Valdez to the Copper river bas. in in early days, where rich placer. formerly worked by the Russians, were supposed to exist, durinr which a number of persons died from eX- posture and hardships, as the charac- ter of the country was practically unknown at the time.
 Even before that, when the coun, try was inhabitatcd by Indians and the interior was an unknown wilder ness. was the story Of lost mine" on the upper Panama river, believed to be in the vicinity of Healy or Goodpasture river. One of the pros pectors had been killed by Indians, according to the story. and the other died in Chicago. showing a poke of gold and before he died he drew out map. Some believe that possibly the Shushanna may have been where the two prospectors got theeir gold.
 However, number of the old timers about Juneau believe in the Lost Rocker" mine and have spent a lot of time and money trying to find it. There Is no doubt concern ing the identity of the three pros pectors who took out some gold in the early days as their names arc known, and one who died in the hos pital at Sitka interviewed and gave out detailed statement concern ing the adventures of himself and companions.
