 From Unalakleet we returned to Bonanza, where the mail trail leaves for Dime creek and the North. At Bonanza, Frank Shaw is prospecting but I did not get any account of what he found or of his plans. Between Bonanza and Haycock, J. B.

Concluding one of the longest con- tinuous journeys over the winter trail that has been made in this section for years, Road Superintendent Charles Jones of the Alaskan road commits sion, returned to Nome late last week After an absence of nearly two and half months, the major portion of which was spent in actual travel, says the Nome Nugget The itiner- ary included visits to almost every important center between Unalakleet and the Kobuk river and covered a major portion of the Seward penin- sula district. The lengthy trip was made for the purpose of inspecting the permanent winter trail stalking work of the commission and to secure data for a report on the general road conditions and needs throughout the second division the amount of work projected and prospective develop ment.
 q left Nome December Il in com @any with w. B. Nelly, to inspect the permanent stalking work done on the winter routes, to report on gen eral conditions and needs throughout the Second division and also on the amount of work being done and pros pective development" said SuperiGl- tendent Jones in discussing the trip.
 we followed the mail trail to Una iAkleet, making the regular mail runs. We found the trail well staked but with some minor repairs needed on the various shelter cabins. At Una lakleet I gathered the following in formation relative to local activities. Tom Moon is prospecting on North river about twenty-five miles from Unalakleet, and has found some slight but encouraging prospects. Al Sund- quist is prospecting on Old Woman river, about fifty miles from Unalak. Ieet. Nothing was known regarding the results obtained. John Telley is on Stove river, about thirty-five miles

Amber about thirty miles from the Kobuk, Albert Wise is on Timber creek, tributary of Squiddel river, about five miles over the divide from Cleary creek. Captain Theilan is working on coal vein about twenty three miles above Kiana. Over q | thousand tons of coal have been taken out of the different points along the river. It is a high grade Ignite but the vein is small. Frank Mulfatu is prospecting with a native, whose name l could not obtain, at the head of the Hunt river on what is said to be ledge of Bornite ore. A new find was supposed to have been made in the spring of 1920 on the Hog river but has not developed into workable diggings. Five men went Tn there again this winter but as yet no reports have come from them.
 '1 could not learn of any active mining being done at Shungnak this winter, but there are five outfits which work there in the summer About twenty whites are wintering at Shungnak this winter and some hauling of supplies is being done from Shungnak to Dahl, which is the creek on which most of the work will be done.
 q also learned that Archie Fer guson had left early in January for Fort Gibbon over the Alatna Divide to bring in his father and mother, who were coming over the railroad and stage to that point
 "The run of shee fish was very light on the river this winter and but very little trapping is being done anywhere, owing to the low prices being offered for furs.
 From Kiana we returned to Nor. V1k and from there came by the Nag uruk channel of the Kobuk to shel- ter cabin on the east shore of Escholtz bay called 'Callahan's cabin and from there to Candle. The weather was so stormy that I was unable to make a trip to the silver mine or to the coal mines on the kugruk, Hugo EclEhardt is the agent in charge of the silver mine, while George Walleen is working on his own property at the coal mine. Jed ChidiSter is located somewhere near the coal mine and has been doing some prospecting on his group there.
 From Candle we came to Council via Snyders and the telephone trail. The shelter cabins were all in fairly good shape but, there was no trail. At Council was informed by Otto Stein CT, the U. s. commissioner. that there is very little prospecting being 1 done there this winter.
 ! 'In all of the northern country a great deal of work on the trails. both permanent and temporary, is neces- sary, and many more shelter cabins will need to be built. One of the most crying needs along the trails anywhere in the north is for dog barns at the shelter cabins, as the ones that have been built have all been erected in exposed places and there is absolutely no shelter for dogs.
 Prom Council we came to Chinik and on to Nome, arriving here Feb ruary 25."

QUINTET WILL NOT
 JOIN U. s. GOLF TEAM
Bay State Star Would Rather
 Stay Home With Baby

New York. Feb. 11.-After aIl ths interest that has been aroused throughout tho country in the inva- sion of British links by American amateur golfers 1t is to be hoped that by the time tho season opens that fina team which William C. Fownes, Jr.. of Pittsburgh. was to lead abroad. will not have shrunk to a mere skele- ton. Unless Charles Evans. Jr.. the national champion. changes his mind between this and May it will not be as strong as hoped. That is certain, for Chick has stated in no uncertain terms that on account of business and health he will not go abroad thia year.
 Now comes word that Francil Ouimet is also to be a stay-at- home. and as Francis appears to have been voIcing such sentiments rather fre- quently it must be said that tho chances of his joining the invading party arc anything but rosy.
 prominent Metropolitan golfer. who recently visited Boston. put tho question as to whether he intended playing in the British amateur cham pionship at Holyoke to Ouimet and received for his answer: No. l am to stay home and play with tho bnby. This same New Orker "at told by several other Now England golfers, friends of ouimet, that par ticipation in the British champion ship was the thing that Francis prob ably was thinking least about.
 A representative American amateur golf team without Ouimet and Evans would ba unthinkable according to tho British idea. These two. like Bob Gardner. have endeared themselves to tho llnksmen on tho other side of the Atlantic and if all three should fail to report it will be a blow indeed. Fortunately the participation of Bob- by Jones in the tournament at Hol- yoke seems assured. Then it would seem that Fownes can also count upon S. Davidson Heron. winner of tho national title in 1919. With those two and himself there will be the nucleus of n capable team and one which may even surprise the giants of the British links.

 Live In Brooklyn.

San Francisco. Feb. 11.-Asserting that it costs $2 a day more to live in Brooklyn than in Cincinnati, Walter (Dutch) Reuther, Cincinnati pitcher, who was traded to Brooklyn last sea- son for Rube Marquard, sent word to his new employers today that he would not play until this and other differences were met
 He asked that he be given a round trip ticket to New Orleans, the Brooklyn spring training camp, in or der to straighten out his differences with the club.
 Reuther was traded at the conclu- sion of the season, when Q ticket scalping scandal prompted the Brook lyn club to dispose of Marquard. Reuther, who assisted the Cincinnati club win the world championship in 1919. was suspended and fined when he took ten days vacation without leave.
