OLDTIMERS OF KANTISHNA
 PASS TO GREAT BEYOND

News of the passing along of two oldtimers of the Kantishna mining dis trict was recently received in Seward, the men passing to the great beyond alone and amid the environs in which they had spent many years. Rudolph Lambert, mining on Chop Creek, a tributary of Canyon creek and about 35 miles from Eureka, was last seen alive on May 15 when he paid visit to friend. Two weeks later the friend returned the visit but no sign of Laln- bert was noticeable at his cabin. A searching party found his body about the middle of June at the head of Moose Creek ill badly decOmposed condition.
 Alois Keim became seriously ill to- ward the end of May and was alone in his cabin for number of days. A chance visit of a friend revealed his condition and medical aid was immed- lately sent for at Moose Creek, nearly forty miles away. By the time of it's arrival keim had passed along to the field of the final stampede. Both bod ies were buried near where they died

After stating that It was to be a

"Yes" prompted Gramont, his eyes
intent upon the little gray man.

paper which you found pinned to the
library door," said Fell, apologetically.
do you know, Mr.. GramOnt, that
oddly enough there were no pin holes
in that paper?"
GramOnt smiled family, as though
he were inwardly amused over the re-
mark.
"Not at all curious" he said, his
voice level. at was pinned rather
