 LEAVING ALASKA SOON

Dr. s. Hall Young, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Alaska Young Kleinschmidt, and her three daugh- ters, Misses Grace, Dorothy and Helen, will leave Juneau on the Ad- miral Rogers tor Seattle on We'd Iesday, the 20th, to make their home there. While Dr. Young is still head of the Presbyterian mis- sion work in Alaska, he has been relieved of the detail work in order that he may devote more of his time to writing the history of early church work in the northland, which history the Mission Board is anxious to have in such form that it can be preserved for all time to aome. In addition to church his- tory, Dr. Young has the material for other early-day life in Alaska in his system and this he will also issue in book form within the next year or two.-Stroller's Weekly.

Mclaughlin Will
 Drill at Mouth
 Of Tibbet Creek

W. D. Mclaughlin returned to Wrangells last week after spending six weeks in the Cassiar.
 Mir. Mclaughlin has acquired a dredging lease on the property at the mouth of Thibert creek. He left on the Princess Louise Tuesday evening on business trip to Vic toria, Seattle and other cities.
 When asked concerning his plans just before leaving. MT. McLaugh- lin stated that he hoped to get back into the Cassiar this fall and begin drilling operations in order that he might know by spring whether there is enough gold on his lease to warrant ordering dredge.
 MT. Mclaughlin has been mining in Interior Alaska for almost 30 years and is thoroughly familiar with the mining game. He looks upon the Cassiar as a most inviting field for operators who are prepar- ed to go in on large scale. He says the Cassiar needs men who are experienced in mining and who will be quick to recognize the country's vast mineral resources and then be able to figure out the most advan- tageous method of operating. Ac- cording to MT. Mclaughlin a great deal of drilling must be done to test ground anywhere before 1t can be definitely determined whether there is enough pay ground to jus tify the heavy outlay necessary to finance a hydraulic or dredging proposition.

SEIZE ANOTHER TRAP OF
 PETERSBURG PACKING co.

On charges of illegal Sunday fish ing, a suit was started last week in the District Court at Juneau by U. S. Attorney A. G. Shoup to condemn a pile trap owned by the Petersburg Packing Co.,, located at Point Ho- bart just north of Port Houghton. says the Empire. This is the sec ond trap of the Petersburg company against which such action has been initiated by the Government since early last month.
 The charges are based on a report made by Warden Frank Hines, of the Bureau of Fisheries field force. MT. Hines, who is assigned to the Auklet, visited the trap on Sunday, July 27, and reported he found 1t to be improperly opened. It is all legged that the opening in the cap ping in the heart wall on one side of the pot was 16 feet wide and on the other side 14 feet, while it was but 12 feet wide on both sides at the water level instead of being 25 feet wide as prescribed in the trap regulations. This Is the fourth seizure of traps in Southeastern Alaska under the new fisheries law. a=.

Government C0nfiSCateS
 Fish Trap

The Sunrise Packing Co. trap at Edith Point on Behm Canal, north of Checats Cove, which was seized for violation of the fisheries law of the United States for Alaska, charg- ed with fishing on Sunday, has been forfeited to the government and is to be offered for sale at public auc- tion, it was ruled by the court this morning.
 This is the first case which has been brought against trap in this manner, the regulations covering fishing in that respect showing that the trap must be forfeited to the government if it is found fishing illegally.
 Witnesses for the government testified that the trap had been found fishing on Sunday, July IS. or between the hours of six o'clock P. NJ. of Saturday and o'clock A. NJ. of the following Monday. which act is illegal. The defendants were unable to produce testimony to off set this testimony and so the court ruled in favor of the government.
 There has been considerable in- terest in the case, in that this is the first prosecution against a trap iii the Territory so far this season, with the prospect of its being for cited, and of about eight seizures this is the first trap to be ordered forfeited for sale at public auction.

Noted Doctor Finds Alaska
 Foxes Sound
Dr. DE. Buckingham, Parasitologist, After a Tour of Inspection, Says Animals on Fur Farms of South eastern Alaska Are on the Whole Wonderfully Free From Disease.


 ant Biologist, who was sent to Al aska by the Bureau of Biological Survey to investigate the fur farm ing industry and report on the con- dition of the animals, arrived in Wrangell Tuesday evening, leaving here the following forenoon. While in town Dr~Buckingham met with number of fox farmers who had been previously notified of his com ing by the Wrangell Commercial Club.
 When asked concerning the re- suits of his investigations in Alaska pr. Buckingham stated that the of ficial report of his findings would be made to pr. E. W. Nelson, the chief biologist at Washington.
 However, he did not hesitate to express his satisfaction at the gen. eral healthy condition of the ami nals on the various fur farms of Southeastern Alaska, and he is of the opinion that the outlook for the fur farming industry in this section is exceedingly bright.
 Dr. Buckingham reported that he had found some remarkable natu- ralists on some of the islands he had visited, and this pleased him greatly, as he declared that one of the principal requirements in sue cessful fur farming is love of ami mals and kindness in treatment of them
 Dr. Buckingham declared that too great emphasis could not be placed on the importance of clean illness in pens and throughout the premises. He said that many of the fox farmers are to be congratulated upon having their farms so well kept. He spoke particularly of the ideal conditions he found at Neil McDonald's fur farm near Wran- gell, and declared that the general arrangement and unusual conven- fences of this model fur farm sur passed anything that he had ex- petced to find on his Alaskan trip
 The Biological Survey. according tc Dr. Buckingham. is desirous of doing everything possible to assist the fox and other fur farming in- dustries, and he predicts that much more will be done in the future than has been done in the past, az the department has been somewhat restricted in its appropriations of money.
 Dr. Buckignham does not endorse the plan some fur farmers are con- sidering of introducing rabbits on their islands. He says that rabbits are susceptible to diseases that are communicable to foxes. It has hap pened many times that an epidemic among rabbits has killed them off by the thousands. Therefore he considers that the danger from rabbits more than offsets any possi- ble advantage from their presence on fox ranches as source of food supply.
 pr. Buckingham is vetinarian of wide experience. He maintains a private hospital out from the city of Washington. and for the past 30 years has had charge of the health of the animals of the National 20. ological Park at Washington. He is not a member of the regular staff of the U. s. Biological Survey, but on account of being an eminent paristologist his services were en- gagged by the Bureau for short time in order to have him make 6 trip of inspection to the fur farms of Alaska.
 Since pr. Buckingham's arriva in Alaska he has been welcomed

Darud Will Drill On DeaSe Creek
 Rest of Season

l.. 0. Soule, treasurer of the Dease Creek Mines Corporation, ar- rived from Seattle on the Princess Louise, Saturday morning. Mir. oouie was accompanied north by
 lenry Il. uarud. veteran hydrau- iie minlug man, whom MT. Soule is .aAing into the Dease Creek coun- try ,o make thorough examina- ton from hydraulic standpoint ot the holdings of the Dease Creek Mines Corporation. This corpora ton has thirteen leases on Dease Creek, live oT whicn have been sub leased to the Dickinson Mining company.
 Mr. Darud is one of the most ex- perienced hydraulic men in the North. lie did the first hydraulic mining thatwas done in the Dawson country, having begun his opera tions on Cheechaco Hill in the early days, and since that time his activi- ties have extended we'll over the interior of Alaska.
 Mr. Darudp passed through the Cassiar when he went into the klon- dike rom Edmonton during the rusn or '9S. From what he saw on that trip he was greatly impressed with the Cassiar, but has never re- turned until now on account of lack of transportation into that re- zion. However, the road from Tel egraph Creek to Dease Lake is a starter in the way of road building which has put the Cassiar on g new basis.
 When seen by the Sentinel re- porter at the Wrangell Hotel just before leaving Tuesday afternoon Mr. Darud stated that he regretted he had not gotten into the Dease Creek country earlier in the sea- son. However, he was of the opin- ion that he would have sufficient time before the end of the present season to determine definitely by drilling whether the pay ground of the Dease Creek Mines Corporation is sufficient in extent to justify working the property hydraulically.
 MT. Soule will return to Seattle before the end of the month. MT. Darud will remain on the ground until the last boat comes out in October.
 H. G. Nichols, a noted gold min ing engineer whose activities have extended over three continents, made a trip into the Cassiar some time ago to look over the country in a general way. MT. Nichols was 50 impressed with what he saw that he wrote an able article for the Canadian Mining Journal on "The Cassiar Goldfield", pointing out the wonderful hydraulicking possibilities of the district. In his article MT. Nichols touched upon the Dease Creek country as follows:
 "The placers of the valley of the Dease river in northwestern British Columbia have yielded gold to the value of s5,OOO,OOO. and nearly all this amount was won by pick and shovel work.
 Tt is said that in the early days claims on Dease creek averaged about $2O per day per man; one claim records 200 ounces for a weeks work: another Iecords $2700 for five days. Two men are said to have rocked 50 ounces in one day, and as much as 349 was obtained from one pan of dirt. In those days wages ranged from 3s to $1S e day, and freight on supplies was as high as $1.000 a ton.
 There is probably far more gold to be won from the Cassiar gold field than it has yet produced. and that by hydraulicking.. There are large benches of gravel hankinE the creeks that empty into Desss lake and river and they offer rich rewards

CLEVELAND SPURNS PLEA
OF CHICAGO FOR WATER
Diversion From Lake Declared
Power Waste and Detriment
to HarborS.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 13.-
Cleveland will continue to oppose
Chicago's attempts to divert more
lake water through its drainage ca
nal, City Manager William r. Hop
| kins told a delegation headed by
State Senator John 7. Joyce of IL.
linois yesterday.
Diversion would cost 10000 horse
power at Niagara Falls, and lowering
of lake levels would be detrimental to
harbors, Mr.. Hopkins declared.
The committee sought to have
Cleveland withdraw its opposition to
the Hull bill pending before Congress
which would permit Chicago engi-
neers to divert 10000 feet of water
per second. instead Of 4,167 author
ized by law.
"The value OF horsepower repre-
sented by that 10000 cubic feet is
close to $4,00o,000 d year" Mr.. Hop
kins told the delegation. 1T is
ridiculous for Chicago to think Cleve-
land or any other lake front city will
stand by and see this amount 70 power
wasted. My advice is to go inland for
support.
