SHUNGNAK MINER
 ARRIVES IN NOME

Fred Jehnson arrived in Nome last Saturday from his hydraulic mine in. the Shungnak district.
 While the traveller required 27 days to reach Nome his actual tra- yelling time was IS days. The bal ance of the time was spent in road houses waiting for prevailing storms to abate Mir. Johnson will remain in Nome for few weeks be- fore returning to his camp. His operations are conducted on Dahl Creek and is the property and equip ment formerly owned by himself Hansen and Corbett. During last summer he began prospecting on ground untouched by his former partners and during the course of the season took out $110O.00 from 4 cut 37x5O feet. Included in the cleanup were two nuggets, one worth s3O4 and the other s19S.9O. besides smaller ones. MT. Johnson feels conndent tHat thS oohihs S'" son will be most profitable for the extended operations he contempla- tes.
 Work on the claims heretofore has been confined to dead work and placing of equipment ready to mine on a larger scale.
 on Film Point the traveller had marrow escape with his life. He was travelling along about three miles from the Film roadhouse when suddenly his dogs went into crack in the ice,. pulling the sled and driver with them. Johnson went into the water up to his neck, and for what seemed to him about fifteen minutes he foundered about trying to get out on the ice. Fin ally he accomplished landing and hurriedly made for the nearby shell ter. At this time the thermometer

Fortunes by Tea Leaves:
From the Pathfinder.

The familiar practice of telling for
tunes by the use of tea-leaves IS a
combination of two ancient systems
of divination, hydromancy and cero-
NANCY. Hydromancy was practiced in
ancient Egypt. A bowl or cup was
filled with water and a boy gazed into
st until he became hypnotized and
saw things" The magician inter-
preted what the boy thought he saw
The same trick Is performed today by
strolliug magicians of north Africa
only they put drop of ink in boys
hand. Ceromancy consisted of drop
ping melted wax in water and divin-
ing by the forms the wax assumed In
cooling.
Tea was introduced into Europe in
The seventeenth century and it is not
strange. after all, that 1t was used as
q means of bringing ancient sorcery
up to date. In biblical times, when
Joseph sent his messengers to find his
silver cup in Benjamin's sack, he in
structed them to say: "Is not this my
lords cup in which my lord drinket
and wherein he divineth." Today
having drunk our tea, we turn the
cup upside down in the saucer and
tvhirl 1t around three times. We
then turn the cup up again and ex-
anime the leaf fragments clinging to
bottom and sides. And there we may
read our future!

ALASKA RAVAGED
BY INFLUENZA
Many Deaths Reported
Among Natives of the
Western Coast.

Announcement that influenza is
ravaging the natives of the western
coast of Alaska and has resulted in
many deaths recalls that one kind
of tragedy has always followed the
advance of civilization" says bull
letin from the headquarters of the
National Geographic Society. "Prim-
tive people in out-of- -the-way places,
once entirely isolated from civiliza-
tion. have been threatened with ex-
termination by even such ordinarily
unimportant civilized diseases as
measles. 1t is not matter of un-
healthful regions" continues the bull
letin, for the scenes of such trag-
edies often have climates bracing and
upbuilding to whites and to such
natives as escape the first onslaught
and who develop immunity to the
new diseases.
Handicapped BY Habits.
The natives of Alaska had in their
habits of life marked handicap in
nshting disease They lived-and
many still live-in wooden houses
partly below the ground level. These
had their single doors always closed
and were without windows. There
was one opening in the roof, out Of
which the smoke from central fire
"A
many as fifty and sixty persons lived
in the larger houses and competed for
the little available oxygen amid reek-
ing odors of rancid oil and decaying
fsh and fish eggs. Sanitation was
unknown: all debris and refuse to
be disposed of was merely thrown
d little way from the doorway
When civilization automatically
transplanted its diseases to Alaska,
the field was all too fertile and the
ha - OF t-
now continually at work killing off
the native population, but the most
spectacular inroads have been made
by measles and smallpox. which have
like fires in a dry thicket. BY the
time an immunity at all comparable
TO that of the civilized world was de-
veloped. nearly half the population
of many regions had been swept
away. In later years the work of the
United States Public Health Service
has done much to raise the health
standard among the natives.
Similar Visitation Noted.
Exactly the same thing happened
in that paradise or isolation, the is
lands of the South sea. But there
the tragedy did not overtake natives
weakened by insanitary living, but
rather men and women of ideal
physique, living largely in the open
air. Measles, smallpox and tubercu-
losfs had never been known among
them of their ancestors. and their
bodies simply had no weapons for
the unknown fight. The Hawaiian
Islands and the Marquesas have suf-
fered more perhaps than any of the
other island groups. The tragedy
still proceeds. In the Maquesas there
are now about eight native deaths to
one birth. and it is predicted by OBJ
servers Of conditions that in another
decade not one full-blooded Marquee
san will be alive"

QUEER LIGHTS IN OKLAHOMA,
Mysterious Illumination of Rocks
Occurs Near Kenton.

Ever since early pioneer days in
"old no mans land" now the Okla
homa panhandle, people have known
about the mysterious lights which
are Visible at times near what now Is
kenton, Okla.
One of the lights, which is to be
seen at times fifteen miles southwest
of kenton, has been classed as "au-
deon lightning by several well in
formed persons, but the peculiar blu
sh white lighA which often has been
observed at White rocks. eight miles
east of Kenton, is of an altogether
different nature.
Where the light southwest of Ken
ton moves about over a considerable
space of hillside and level land, that
at the White rocks remains in one
spot, and is BLUSH white instead of
reddish yellow, as is the other. In
one respect they are alike, however,
and that is they may appear in either
wet or dry weather and at all seasons
of the year.
The White rocks, where the strange
white light appears, are several large
outcroppings of white sandstone six
feet high, and when the light appears
the rocks seem to throw out the light
all over their surface. Coming on
suddenly, 1t will light up space for
several yards on all sides, then after
perhaps ten minutes the glow fades
and disappears. possibly not to be
seen again for several weeks or even
months.
No oil or natural gas is known to
be near the surface of this spot, and
while gypsum and traces Of copper
are nearby. they are not known to
produce these lights or, in fact, have
anything TO do with them.
An old Indian legend runs to the
effect that the light is the spirit of
the ancient signal fires which were
kindled on top of the White rocks
and on Sentinel butte. a quarter Of
a mile distant.
The lights existence has been
known for fifty years, long before
cars or man-madeI lights were any
where near the rocks, and the In
dians knew about 1t ages before the
white man came to the country.
