Mir. and Mrs. c. H. Tozier took a party of friends out to the gar, net ledge Sunday forenoon on the Virginia II.

When all had ar rived at the destination. a boun- tiful picnic lunch was enjoyed under the friendly shelter of a shed roof while the rain fell as it will do in Alaska now and then whether picnics are affected or not. The entire party visited the garnet ledge and the trip home

Gold Strike on Zarenbo Island,
 Claims Staked

That Zarembo island may soon be the scene of mining activity is not improbable.
 Four lode claims located on Za- rembo island, about twenty miles from Wrangell, were recorded at the court house this week. The claims are designated as Zarembo lode claims Nos. 1,2,3,4, and are located on the north easterly corner of Zarembo island about one mile up the creek from tide water.
 There is an excellent harbor less than two miles from where the claims are located, and the big steamers pass within sight of the property on their regular course. The locators are Messrs. Ed Cox, T. ". Baker, E. Sholin. and W. P. Shotridge.
 The story of how these claims came to be located is romantic enough to be the beginning of something exciting.
 More than four years ago Ed Cox, a prospector, took few samples of ore while prospecting on Zarembo island. Instead of Investigating further he cached away his samples just as many another prospector has done. During the past winter while living at Juneau Mr. Cox got into conversation with Tom Baker, another well known pros- pector. Baker was showing Cox some ore specimens when Cox invited Baker to come into his cabin and look at some speci. mems he had. After looking at Cox's specimens Baker said Let me have those rocks as- sayed.' Cox gave his consent and the assays showed an average of S80 gold per ton with 16 ounces of silver.
 As a result of the assay of these old specimens Cox and Baker and their two friends Sholin and Shotridge, decided to visit Zarem- Do as soon as the snow had melted sufficiently to permit an examination of the ground. This week they made the trip to Za- rembo island and had no trouble in locating the vein where the samples had been taken. They staked off four claims, each joining the other on the south westerly end. Then they came to Wrangell and had their claims recorded after which they left for Juneau. They plan to return to Zarembo in about a month to begin development work.
 Ed Cox and Tom Baker are both known to a number of citi- zens of Wrangell who hope that they have struck something good.
 There is talk of several pros pecting parties starting out from Wrangell for Zarenbo in a few days. However, Fred Wilson seems to be the only one who has definitely decided on a prospect ing trip to the region where Cox made his discovery.
