"Once a prospector always a pros- pector" applies with singular truth to Ed. Austin of Ketchikan, Edward F. Tobin writes in the Chronicle In every former prospector's heart there lies longing for the life ofthe trail and the mountains again, and given sufficent incentive, the call is likely to cause him to get out his pick and shovel and go in search of gold.
 MT. Austin is past president of the Ketchikan igloo of Pioneers. He has prospected more or less for the past twenty-two years, leaving his comfy home in Newtown, cranking up the engine in his spacious gasboat the Nicholai, and off to the island hills in search of the yellow metal
 vHE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE.
 There is always adventure in the smallest trips. There is still the thrill I will strike it." And there is the sat isfaction of being out in the open 1iv- ing life as nature intended, breathing free air and having time and the world to oneself
 Mr. Austin's usual prospecting trips have been in this and other parts of Southeastern Alaska. "But the hard est, longest and most interesting trip I ever made" he says, "was in 1901 up the Chilkat and Takhin Rivers in Brit ish Columbia and across glaciers and mountains and all kinds of rough coun- try to the White River district.
 q made that trip with Ed. Bloom field. Ed. was a little unusual sort of chap, but as good-natured as they ma.ke them. He once lived in Ketchi- kan and he was commonly known as Cottage City He got the name on account of his hoarse voice, which, in addition to his short stature made him singular person, and often the but of humor.
 THE STRIKE ON BEAR CREEK
 we had heard of the big strike up Bear River, and hot with the fever to try our luck, left Seattle in the spring Of the year on the old City of Topeka That took us to Skagway, where we bought boat ard headed up the Chil kat river over British territory, bound for the strike on Bear Creek.
 When we had travelled as far as { the Talkhin and made camp, white man came down in a canoe. He prov, ed to be an old friend of mine, an Idaho mining man. He told us he had been up in Bear creek all winter and

our homeward journey a storm al most proved the undoing of our little 22-foot boat and ourselves. We were sailing before the wind. It had not been very strong, so Bloomfield sug- gested that we make a sail out of the tarpaulin and the long oar we had in the boat and put it On the other side of the mast, and have a sort of winged affair.
 Ed was pretty handy with the can vas and he rigged it up. We sailed smoothly before the wind for quite time until the breeze began to come with greater force and we looked back and saw a storm aris- ing. l had been eating dinner and Ed was at the tiller. I told him he had better take the tarpaulin wing down and I would hold the tiller.
 A MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
 "I rose to do it and when I re- lieved him he started forward. I took a glance at the rising storm, then around to see how Ed was pro- gressing. I looked-he was gone! I was alone in the boat I looked into the water and saw nothing but the racing waves. He seemed to have disappeared as completely as if the air or water had swallowed him.
 hoo ;,, f1a of~r would be unable to save him, for it would have been impossible for me to turn the boat around Alone, I would be unable to lower the sails which were wing and wing I could not leave the tiller. Once more I glanced around the boat, excitedly. Then I saw! I noted just the four white fingers of a hand grasping the gunwales of the boat. l looked over the side and saw the arm ex- tend down to the water, but the rest of Ed entirely submerged.
 SAVED FROM THE SEA
 "While the boat raced on I reached down and got his head above the water, then l helped him work back to the stern of the boat and up over into the boat He was shivering with the cold when he stepped into the boat and presented an odd picture in his dripping slicker, heavy boots and watersoaked clothing, with his hoarse voice coming from between catterine i teeth
 ''I made him as comfortable as pos sible, put blanket around him tC keep him warm, we soon got doWE the tarpaulin sail. We were unable to get ashore until we struck Wran gell Narrows and Ed had to remain in his drenched clothing until we landed there and got a big fire going for the night The next morning we proceeded on our journey. I have made my headquarters here per manently since 1904"

property now owned by the Victory Mining Company on Gravina island and on which a long tunnel has been driven. He sold the property to a party from Kansas, who afterwards abandoned it. He has prospected the islands and mainland around here at every opportunity since; is a firm be- liever Ketchikan will continue her steady growth to be a big city and that the many good mines in this vicinity will eventually be developed and that mining will soon be a big factor in activities of this vicinity.

much as though the bottom would be the only place we could make with the loose peak beating back and forth and liable to take the whole sail out any minute. The only chance seemed to be to try and put her about before the wind; stunt not so easy with sea running as it was then in Lynn canal, and in a 22-foot boat leaking badly, with the peak running wild.
 "The wind had grown stronger and stronger, and big waves were sweep ing up. Watching my chance and selecting a favorable opportunity, managed to come about safely and headed for the mouth of the Endicott river.
 Before we had reached the mouth of the Endicott we caught sight of what appeared to be a fine, white sand beach. Now, we know that the Endicott was strewn with boulders
 
 to enter. We were elated, therefore, to see this fine opportunity for safe landing, and we headed for it.
 HEADED FOR DESTRUCTION
 We were close in shore before we realized what that pretty white sand beach really was. We were bearing down on it with a good ten knot clip, with no chance to make turn or lower the sail. It was a line of white boulders, with breaking waves crashing against them. We felt that now, though we might be able to save ourselves, that our boat and outfit would be wrecked and lost
 We were not many yards away from them when all at once we noticed a break in the shore-line There was a split in the high walls of rock and small entrance hardly forty feet wide. This seemed our only chance to save our outfit so we damned the tiller hard over and sailed in.
 A ROCKY RETREAT
 We found it an admirable shelter. The steep wall lowered above us on all three sides, and kept the little blight as quiet as could be. On one side we found ten-foot shelf and hauled our boat up to it, and moOred here. Here we pitched our tent When the tide was in there was barely room enough, and the water came up to the edge of the canvas The floor of course, was rock A waterfall came down from above and from this we secured our water, and we managed to pick up enough drift wood to keep a fire going.
 "It was a week before the storm quieted sufficiently for us to come out from our shelter and proceed on our journey. We spent the time pleasantly in our rocky retreat.

stead Journal, "but of nothing ap-
preaching the fate which befell J. A
Hunt of Derby Line, during the late
open deer season. He had been in
the woods about Long pond, West

seeing the mildest sort of doe. Hav-
ing business engagement at ST

from his last trip out, Saturday, No

he rejoiced at the approach of two
friendly men, who happened along,
and being in hurry to get out OF
the woods, he bargained with them
to take the dead buck to camp, there
to await his return next day. But
when he got back, he could find NO
trace of either buck or men,"

Academy Notes

The report cards for the term were
given out Wednesday.
The 18th year class are to have
charge of chapel Friday morning.
The percentage of attendance at
the academy for the fall term was
very good. Regular attendance is
very necessary, for good work in
school. The following shows the per-
centage Of attendance in each de-
partmen: High school 94.73o, train
ing class $500, sixth grade $3.50,
fifth grade 91%o, fourth grade 96.7@o,
third grade $3.50, second grade 1920
and first grade 94@o.
1t is the hope of the academy fac
ulty that the parents and pupils will
record through the winter term.
"a dillar a dollar, a ten o'clock
scholar" is the type of pupil the
grade children of Barton are plan
ming to Danish forever. To this end
contest is now in progress, the aim
of which is perfect attendance with
no tardy marks. Every week the
score Of each grade is recorded upon
a chart in the corridor so that all may
keep in touch with the progress of
the contest. The winning grade is
rewarded with the honor of possess
ing for the ensuing week the contest
banner, an orange star on a black
field-the colors of the school. The
proud possessor for this week is the
fourth grade which won over the
third grade by only two points.
Last week Miss Aagesen. the state
supervisor of teacher training, Wis
tied the Barton training class and
commented very highly of the thor
ough work which the class is doing.
Mrs. +. d. Atkinson, the new assist
ant in the teacher training class,
began her work last week. Mrs. At
kinson is fully qualified for the posi-
ton, being a graduate of Wells col
lege with the degree of Bachelor of
Arts, and also of Leland Stanford
with the Masters degree. She has
acted as assistant in English at Le-
land Stanford and has taught peda-
gogy and physical training at the
state normal school at Montclair, N.
j. Mrs. Atkinson comes to us high
ly recommended and will be a big ad-
dition to our faculty. 1t is very
gratifying to have a training class
so large that necessitates two teach
ers to carry on the work.
Tuesday evening the training class
enjoyed 16-mile ride to the home of
Miss Bertha Simon in East Albany.
Songs and stories along the way add
ed to the enjoyment of the ride.
There was time for dancing, singing,
games and refreshments at the home
of the hostess.
