YUKONER IS FOUND
 DEAD IN THE SNOW

Frank Wilkins, an old time Yu- .oner, recently met a tragic death while battling with snowdrifts on tke open Yukon during the ex- trcmely cold weather about the middle of last January. He left the mouth of the White River about January 13 for Stewart City, dis tance of 10 miles When he did rot arrive at the latter place a searching party was dispatched to hunt for him. The party found Wilkins body in the snow on the river about one mile from the near est Stewart City road house.
 Marks in the snow showed that Wilkins had crawled the last sev cral hundred yards in his desparate effort to reach fhe road house and tken became exhausted. He was almost in sight of the road house when he reached the place where he perished.
 Mr. Wilkins was an elderly man, and some years ago his feet were frozen while out in a storm on the lower Yukon, since which his feet always had been in poor condition for travelling. It is believed that they gave out on this trip and that otherwise his strength would have carried him through to the road house.

BELLY RIVER MINER
 MISSING } MONTHS

T. ]. McKinnon, old time resident of the Pelly River district, has been missing for months and it is feared at Dawson that something scricu9 has happened.
 Tire last seen of McKinnon by the people of Salkirk and Pelly was last October. according to the Dawson News. His friends in that locality have become quite anxious for him of late. They decided to refer the matter to the police. Major Tucker of Dawson, is making fur ther inquiries by wire, and says it is likely that he will have a police patrol go to the McKinnon cabin as soon as possible.
 McKinnons cabin is located somewhere in the vicinity of the extinct volcano, which is the area between Pelly and Humes.

HISTORIC TOWN
 OF, THE YUKON : TO BE SLu!CE:D
Crank Forks Will Next Sum mer Give Way Before the
 Hydraulic Machinery.

\ The statement made yesterday by Albert J. Peck, passenger south on the Princess Mary, that the fam ous old placer townsite of Bonanza, better known in the Dawson dis trict as Grand Forks, was soon to be hydraulicked and thus buried be- heath thousands of tons of gravel, serves to recall the early history of that mining camp Discussing the work that is to be done this coming summer, Mir. Peck stated that scores of men will be employed in the hydraulic work, and regarding the old town Of Grand Firlss, he said:
 'The Forks surely has history seldom excelled in frontier romance The colorful days when the old Gold Hill, and the Northern, and tine many other resorts. and big depart ment stores and individual trading establishments, and elaborately fur nished cafes, theatres and other . tokens of intensive life contributed to the setting, finger only in the memory of the old timers. Millions used to come out of the creeks and hills, and money flowed like water over bars and counters in the old Bo- nanza town.
 Now the only hostelry of note remaining in the town is the Nor thern where the genial and indom- itable Luke Carlson, of the vintage of sourdough days, remains riveted to the helm, happily assisted thls winter by Miss Nellie Razee, who ; is charge d'affairs de cuisine.
 "The famous old Gold Hill Hotel, which was erected in the rush days at tremendous cost, was torn down over year ago, and the old logs which could tell tales of old time high rollers and altitudinous stacks of chips of red, blue and white, and the changing luck of argonauts at blackjack, poker and the spinning wheel, were tossed into the stove to keep the last of the Mohicans safe against the attacks of 760s below zero weather last winter.
 "Old timers who still cling to the lure and garner the grains Of gold from some of the best remaining in dividual claims in the district never tire of recalling the spirits who once contributed to the gayety of life in Grand Forks. They recite the stories of the picturesque life of Harry Bridges Cafe, of the roaring games at Max Endleman's and Sylvester's, and the entertaining ways of Frank Phiscator. Charley Anderson, Big Alex, and the hundreds of other characters of the day. The big hotel erected by the Countess Ger bonneau. the several flourishing churches. the crimson lights along the hill are gone. and the only big buildings remaining are the North ern the old Kearney building which have occupied; the Clindinin build ing, and Wrights building, where Charley Bell had his headquarters in the distribution of the Dawson News to every man in every cabin, A few scattering shacks complete the clos ing scene.
 F Boys still mining on the creeks in an individual way, however, have good pay, and are getting out dumps very much worth while, and deserve every credit. Their perseverance and their faith is constantly rewarded"

WILL rely UPON public
TO AID P. & S. HOSPITAL
Or. Robin Says Councils ~Fail-
urs to Act May Mean Another
Appeal to Citizens For Help.

| In the event the City Council faiis
to make an appropriation for the sup-
port and maintenance OF the conta-
| gious disease unit OF the Physicians
and Surgeons Hospital 1t will be neces-
gary for the hospital management to
rely upon the public for financial air,
accor,ing to DIR. Albert Robin, chief
executive OF the medical staff of the
hospital
This unit. he said. was established
to meet the needs OF the city for ward
of this character. The Physicians and
Surgeons Hospital was organized. Or,
Robin pointed out, as an open hos
pital for the accommodation OF all pa
tients requiring medical care and IL
is the only hospital of the kind in the
city, he claims.
Patients suffering from commune
cable ailments cannot be cared for at
the other hospitals, as the facilities
are lacking. There is at present no
ambulance for the conveyance Of con-
tagious cases to the hospital.
The doctor told of the danger of
treating a contagious case in n private
home. because Of the practical im-
possibility of isoiating such case In
an ordinary home. where people come
and go. and where there are no facili-
ties for caring for patients OF any kind.
DIR. Robin pointed out that the
Physicians and Surgeons Hospital has
been organized through the energy of
public spirited citizens, and IL the
council lis unwilling To assist In the
work, which must be casried on, the
public will have to be asked again TO
help.
1t was stated that $4,000 asked Of
the city would be but drop in the
bucket compared with the expense
that might be incurred as a result Of
trying to care for individual cases
which were deemed worthy OF charity.
"The statement attributed to a MEM
Der of council that such a thing could
be done. does not touch the point Of
the matter at ALL DIR. Robin said.
"The fact is the maintenance Of a CON
tagious disease hospital is not a mat
ter OF charity or non-charity. but q
matter of maintaining place where
such cases can be cared for. No pa
tient, however wealthy, could be cared
for properly in his own home unless it
were turned temporarily into a hos
pital. and charity patients would sim
ply have to be sent TO another city
where there are facilities for handling
such diseases. There would be the
question, of course. whether this could
he done. For a city like Wilmington
TO send all it's contagious dlcease
cases TO Philadelphia, for example,
and pay for them out of appropriations
by the City Council. would be unusual,
