Among those that came up to Nome with the Yuba Mfg. Company and have finished their contract with that organization and took up other work are Silent Smith, Dutch Tay- Tor, Guy Turnbow, Clyde Taylor, Alex. Pritchard and many others that we have not heard from. All of these men having finished their contract with the Tuba Company were at liberty to return to the turn to the States on the last Vic. But the spell of the northland has a hold upon these men and they will remain with us for a while longer. much to the satisfaction of their many friends here in Alaska.

AUCKLAND RIVER DISTRICT
 OFFERS BRIGHT PROSPECTS

The gold strike that was made on K'oo'Puk creek a tributary to the Buckand river last fall promises to be hugh success according to Dr. Rex F. Swartz who arrived in Nome some time back on the schooner Nokatak.
 Dr. SwartZ states that in October 1922 a native sank two holes on Dis coyery and banned out sixteen dol lars from the first and twenty eight dollars from the second hole. Dr. Swartz himself sank holes later near those already sank by the Native and found the pay to be about the same as that taken out by the native.
 Fred Tiepleman and Charles Kahel sank holes in No. below discovery and found the same pay as was locat- ed on Discovery. Later Dr. Swartz sank holes above discovery finding that the pay dirt still remained about the same as on Discovery.
 Among those having claims staked on the K'oo'Puk are Frank Wars ing, Chas. Evans. Enos Thomas. Bob Snyder and Isaac Hatta
 Dr. Swartz states that all that is holding them up at present from their operations are that there is not sufficient amount of water for slucing until it rains. Dr. Swartz feels that the strike will be a very profitable one when conditions be- come so that the working of the claims can be carried on without delay. The paystreak is about 40 or 50 feet wide and the gold taken out is very similar to that mined on Dime Creek in value and in other ways that gold has a resemblance. The strike on the K'oo'Puk is sit uated due east of Candle approxim- ately 20 miles, navigation up the Buckland to the K'oo'Puk is possible for any craft with a draft of not more than five feet. this fact makes it possible to reach Che lOcatlOn or this new field without the necessity of much overland travel.
 Dr. Swartz and others feel that this new field will develop into one of the best paying propositions that this section of Alaska has to offer at the present time. After complet- ing the business that brought him to Nome Dr. Swartz intends to re- turn to the Buckland district to re- sumo his mining operations. Mrs. swartz who came to Nome with her husband on this trip took passage ou the Victoria for the States, last Sunday, July 22nd.

SOVIET GUARDS OvERI'OWERED
 BY AMERICAN TRADERS
tContinued from page one)
Accused of Entering Country With- out Proper Clearance.

We waited until the 22nd day of July. no messages had gone thru. Diem and myself wrote a letter to the new governor (Burke) and had 1t translated into Russian and went to talk with him with the aid of an interpreter. He charged us with having entered the country without proper clearance from a Russian Consul in the United States. and said that he would have to wait for orders from Petropavlovsk. At the same time he was continually trying to find out about my experience in ice navigation.

Safety of Crew in Grave Danger.

We had information from inhabi- tants of the village who attended the meetings of the Soviet that the schooner Iskum was seized for the express purpose of transporting the Red Troops into the Kolyma River district. which is now under the White government. It appeared that the services of the engineer and myself would be forced for the pur- pose of navigating the vessel there. It would have been bad policy for the Reds to let the United States know anything about this and there fore I believed that the safety of the balance of the crew was in very serious doubt. And when one looks at the large cemetery there and hears the gruesome stories about the mysterious disappearance of people thru holes in the ice, one begins to feel less and less secure.
 I believed and all my crew be- lieved that. We had better not wait for the next surprise which was then rumored. Therefore on the 23rd day of July we overpowered our guards and went into the bowling gale and fog that we knew no launch or small ship would follow us in. I sincerely believe that this action was indispensable for the safety of the crew and the property and be- lieve that I have violated no laws either written or unwritten by talk ing this action.
 We were forced to bring the guards to Nome as we could not land on the Siberian side for fear that the steamer Baychimo might have been seized by the Reds and that they might/give us chase. These boy guards are conscript soldiers and gave us no resistance and prayed on their knees to be brought to Nome. I have not the least doubt that but that they would lose their lives if they were returned to their country.
 There are quite a number of Am erican citizens at Anadyr who are daily living in fear of their lives and are praying that each day that an American Revenue Cutter will arrive to take them away. MT Lampe local representative of the Swenson Co. trading post at Anadyr. daily expects confiscation of his store with it's many thousand dol lars worth of American goods. Am erican tr.ppers have had their fcx skins confiscated and American min- CTS and prospectors are extremely anxious to get away for the safety of their lives.

Officials of the, Chamber of Con- merce were engaged Friday in an effort to get into long distance com munfcation with President Fairfax Harrison or Vice President Wynn of the Southern railway with reference to the future of the Gadsden car works. Despite the fact that tele- gram was received here Friday say ing the company would not attempt reconstruction under present condi- tions," a committee will be sent to Washington to confer with Southern officials Monday. This committee will be composed of c. A. Moffett, president of the Gulf States Steel company; Otto Agricola, c. $. Culver. and James l.. Herring. Thursday night the city council passed resolu- tions stating that Tit had been learned that the city officials of Gadsden have been charged with harrassing and hampering" the com pany in the successful operation of its plant, and that they have been seriously misrepresented." The resolutions ask that the city officials be given a hearing in the matter. At q conference between Superintendent Bradley and the directors of the Chamber of Commerce Thursday night he stated that cars are built cheaper here than elsewhere, but he declared that there had been too much confusion and not enough pro- lection offered by rne city and coun- ty when the plant was in distress. MT. Bradley addressed the employees at the court house Friday night, ad- vsing them to seek positions else- where; as the decision not to re- build the plant is irrevokable.
