CHITINA STAMPEDE NOT GREAT, SAYS MARSHAL;
 STRIKE NOT SERIOUS

Rumors of a gold stampede from Chtina into the vicinity of Slate Creek have been prevalent on the streets for the past week. In an eff fort to substantiate them The Times yesterday sent telegram to Deputy Marshal Boyer, of Chitina, requesting full details of the rumOred strike and of the reported "desertion" of Chitina as a result. In reply Marshal Boyer wired the following account:
 Coming to Chitina for supplies about a week ago, F. Violet reported that while prospecting with his part ners, G. Algren and Emil Swanson, on old Slate Creek during the past month, he had made a discovery and cleaned up approximately three ounces of gold from the crevices which lie in the washed-out bed of the river. Their en- deavors to reach bedrock on the bench at a distance of fifty feet from the Qldln TlVef CHduiltl plpNCu II ultiSoo, since water flooded the two holes at a depth of five feet, preventing any further discoveries. Violet returned to the diggings to resume prospecting with his partners. Following the re- port of the strike a stampede from Chitina occurred, but stakers of six claims below the discovery, who soon returned from the district, public ly stated that there was nothing at the spot worth getting excited over. Six other stampeders also returned, but none of these went to the trouble of stalking claims. No one staked above the discovery. Old Slate Creek lies about two miles north of Mile 6S ont of Valdez on the Government wagon road, and is 63 miles from Chitina. The trail leading from the government road to the discovery IS also five miles north of Ernestine. The creek formation resembles a gulch, and the water source lies at the gla- ciers about one mile from the dlscoV- cry claim, In width at the discovery it is approximately two hundred feet from rim to rim. It is in the valdez recording district.

BIOLOGICAL MEN HERE;
 ATTEND ASSOCIATION
 FOX FARMERS MONDAY

Ernest P. Walker and F. G. Ash brook, of the Biological Survey, are in Cordova to attend the meeting of fox growers which will convene here next Monday. MT. Walker and Mr Ashbrook have just returned on board the Sea Otter from a pro- tracted cruise of inspection among the fur farmers to the Westward. The former, who is greatly interest ed in promoting the protection of the wild life in the Territory, has been exerting every effort to con- vince settlers of the benefits to ac- crue to the country by a proper con- servation of the game and fur re- sources which are to be found in the transients, while from the growing ture-lovers' Guide to the wild life of Alaska is now in process of com pilation by MT. Walker, in which he plans to outline measures for the protection and propagation of ami mals and birds which, he says, are one of the greatest permanent assets of the country. MT. Walker points out that an increasing revenue can be enjoyed by the Territory from the money expended by hunters, tour ists, moving picture photographers and many others, to whom the wild life is a source of constant appeal, and who come into the territory as transients, which from the growing fur industry, and the production of meat, as it can be developed under proper methods, MT. Walker says permanent income can be derived.
 MT. Ashbrook, who has lately been secured by the Biological Survey for work in Alaska, has been. con- nected with the fox farming in dustry in the States. Joining the Sea Otter at Seward on July 5, he ac- companied MT. Walker on the west ward cruise, which followed the Alaska coast line as far as Unal- aska, taking in all the communities en route, as well as most of the fox farms. MT. Ashbrook reports that there are now some three hundred fur farmers operating in Alaska, most of them producers of the blue fox. MT. Ashbrooks labors on the recent cruise were directed toward the, organization of the fur farm CTS to the Westward into an assoc iation for mutual benefit and pro- lection, This is being consummated very satisfactorily, says MT. Ash brook, who announces that the farm CTS of the Kenai Peninsula will af- filiate with those of the Prince Will liam Sound district as soon as the latter have effected organization the principal object of the meeting next Monday. MT Ashbrook reports that there are several community fox farmers along the Aleutian chain, where the industry is now virtually the sole support of the Indians. This is the district where the blue foxes were originally placed for propa- gating purposes by the Russians, and MT. Ashbrook says that the Ir- dian communities are successfully carrying on the trade, which is man. aged largely through the teachers and store keepers of the archipelago. After the meeting to be held here next week, Mr Ashbrook will con- tinue to Southeastern Alaska to be present at a meeting of fox farmers at Petersburg, on Sept where an organization similar to that here will be effected.
