SEPPALA MAKES INTERESTING TRIP
 TO THE INTERIOR

Creek. Seppala stated that shortly after the native left in the lead of the iatter's team he was not seen until the party arrived in Whiskey Creek, not even the sled tracks were yisable and therefore his trail break ing was of no use to the Nome mush- CTS. Seppla stated that when they arrived at WhiSkey Greek they asked Derrick if he had seen native who was supposed to he breaking trail for any one and Derrick replied: Native? He's asleep.-he's been here since eleven o'clock
 Seppala met many old timers who were at one time in Nome, while in Fairbanks. among them were: Paul D"nhart, who is engaged in mining at Fairbanks. J. NJ. Davidson. who was the founder of hydraulic mining in Nome, and who organized the Miocene Ditch Company in Nome in the early days. Another old timer encountered was Norman StineS who was at one time the Engineer of the Alaska Mines of Nome. Jim Murray another we'll known former Nome man and R. l.. Sommers. Superinten- dent of the Alaska Road Commission was in Fairbanks and asked Seppala tc convey his best regards to Nome friends.
 According to Seppala the Healv River Coal is selling in the bins at Nenana for 5000 per ton.
 Victor Anderson is due in Nome very soon. having arrived in Senana some time ago and Seppala left l5 d, gs for Victor's use In making the trip to Nome.
 John Hover superintendent for the Cordovado Mining Company in the 1nmachuk section. is coming to Nome bringing James Keenan's dog team back from Nenana. Hover should re here most any day. according 10 Seppala
 The following old time Nomeites are at Ruby and were encountered hv Seppala while in the latter place: Miss Grace Grantham, who was for several years a school teacher in the Nome Public school is now teach ing school in Ruby,
 Shel Wettach. former well known Nome business and mining man of the Nome district, is conducting T store in Ruby and has Il good trade.
 William tBilD Growden, who at one time was attached to the Army Radio Station in Nome and who was in charge of the city office here. is now stationed at Ruby with the Army Signal Corps.

Leonard Seppala, one of the best tory returned last Saturday from ar eighty day trip 70 Eenana, Fairbanks Ruby and other portions of Interior Alaska. Seppala left Nome on Jan uary 1st. with H. R. Edwards. Su perintendent of the Hammon Con solidated Gold Fields as a passenger for Nenana where the latter took the train for the outside.
 Seppala made the trip with IT dogs and states that on the trip up experienced severe weather in the form of storms and cold. The trip up took 21 days. and Seppala states that he practically broke trail for the team driven by James Keenan of Nome who was following from Kal- tag to Nenana.
 After arriving at Nenana, Seppala made two trips to Fairbanks and one trip to Ruby and took as a passenger Borls Magids, or candle.
 While in Nenana. Seppala was en- gagged by the government to make arraneements for dog teams for the incoming advance party of the polar expedition, after purchasing about fifty dogs he was informed that the dogs would not be needed as the party had been halted in Seattle and would not proceed until further or ders. Seppala then had to dispose of most of the dogs ha had purchased, this he did with the exception of one oI two which he brought back to Nome
 Seppala states that Ben Derrick, who is well known 70 old time Nome ties, is located at Whiskey Creek, ard has the mail contract at that place. Seppala tells a very funny incident which happened to him and his passenger. H. R. Edwards on the trip up. It seems that when arriv- ing at the last stop this side of Whiskey Creek, the trail became so heavy that the mushers deemed it wise to get one of the local dog men who understood the country to break trail, this they did and a native boy was hired and the start made, the agreement between the natl" and SaDpala and Edwards was that if the native made the trip into Whiskey Creek by certain time he would be paid a certain amount and if he was an hour longer than that time he would lose one dollar and for every hour over that time he was to lose one dollar. The time was II o'clock when the native was supposed to arrive at Whiskey

EMPTY POCKETS

On a voyag to Alaska; Over Bering's savage tide, I ventured for fortune; To the frozen Arctic side. But I found an empty pocket, dnA a rumor for guide. And I found some happy natives, And the Squaw-man in his pride. When I started on this voyage. To this land of Northern light. was cheerful, I was happy, For fortune lay in sight.
 But found an empty pocket,
