WIDE BAY OIL MAGNATE
 AN ARRIVAL IN SEWARD

MT. and Mrs. w. E. Lee, of Wide Bay, one of the original locators in the oil district, was an arrival on one of the last boats. MT. Lee is heavily interested in oil properties at Wide Bay and one of the Standard rigs is now drilling on his property 16 miles out of Kanatak. MT. Lee disposed of one-quarter interest of this claim recently to Oscar Ander- son, proprietor of several large in- dustries in Anchorage and vicinity, for consideration of $30,000.
 Mir. Lee located this claim on the Pearl Creek Dome in 1920, and filed upon it in the same year, receiving his permit from the Land Office in 1921. In August, 1922, the claim was assigned to the Standard Oil Com pany, who placed rig on the ground, and are now down around 5000 feet. The Associated Oil Company is drill ing on an adjoining claim and indi- cations are that oil will be struck in commercial quantities. Mr. Lee has been located on Wide Bay for some time where he has a number of horses used in packing in supplies and used in his private enterprises. He has great confidence in the dis trict, and believes that if oil is struck it must go to the coast by way of Wide Bay.
 MT. and Mrs. Lee are registered at the Van Glider, and will leave on the Starr for Wide Bay.

 When Mrs. Blackjack returned to Nome she was given warm wei come by the whites, who were very indignant at the story told by Nolce. She is said to have declared that she tried to keep the party on the 
 island warning them of the danger of leaving at that time of year.

 Story About Husband Fake
 Captain Olson said that the story that Ada's husband had died of a broken heart because she had lei him to go to the States is fake The Captain declared that Ada Black Jack had divorced her husband white man fashion some time before leav' ing for Wrangell Island, on account cf domestic infidelity, and that Black jack, an untutored Eskimo who coulf scracely talk English, had married the dusky lady of his choice and lat CT died of consumption, from which he suffered many years. Ada re turned to Nome last spring and at the present time is living there with her young son, whom she is educat- ing in white mans ways.
 OISOn CHS Oi iiiP'
 Capt. Olson said the rescue party in charge of Herbert Noice left Nome on the 3rd day of August, 1923, ar, irving at Cape Prince of Wales the next day, and taking on board an Els kimo family of seven people, 2z dogs, and about $1200 worth of sup plies, mostly flour and sugar. The natives were going to Wrangell Isl and on a trapping expedition. Tht vessel then proceeded to Point Hope where another Eskimo family was taken aboard, together with white man named Chas. White, who had been living with the Eskimos !ol sonic time The dogs were taken along in case the party had to make a trip over the ice to Wrange'l Isl and, about 33O miles distant from Ft Hope.
 At 12 o'clock midnight, few days later after arriving at Point Hope the party sailed for Herald Island about 35 miles northeast of Wrangel Island. The sun was shining brightly and the weather was perfect. Alter reaching the vicinity of Herald Islant the party encountered heavy flos ice, and entering a lead were badly damned. The ice was dynamited ant a basin made for the little vessel which spent ten days locked among the floes. A hole was smashed II the bow and the party was forced to kill a walrus, using the skin ant tallow as a collision mat to keep ou the water. After getting out of the ice the vessel proceeded to Rogers Harbor on Wrangell Island, but found no sign of the expedition. About tel miles farther west a bottle was fount with the names of the members O. the expedition and document talk ing possession of the island in the name of King George.
 It is reported that both Noice ano Stefansson declared the island hac been taken possession of in the name of the United States, but Capt. OlsoI says this is not true, as he says the document and there is no mistake that the English flag was raised over the island. As no sign of life was found here, the Donaldson slowly steamed up the coast to Doubtful Harbor, sailing close to the beacf and blowing the whistle at short in teryals. A big dinner was prepared by the cook in anticipation of the rescued party being short of pro visions and in a famished condition as it was known their supplies would
