have been traced to their headwaters, and what in the way of topography and resources lies within an area of 35,000 square miles, has been a mat ter of conjecture.
 Reports have trickled out of the Polar Basin, that great lakes of oil were to be found in this region. But the Eskimos and natives tell stranger stories. They say the land is haunt ed by weird beasts, some of such inn mense stature that they leave tracks as large as dinner plates. It is said that no Indian can be persuaded to penetrate the region, even though he be tempted by the promise of abun- dant fur. The lore has it that there are great areas of hot springs, where the snow never falls, and the streams never freeze.
 Some of the more credulous of the white men, linking the tales with their scientific reading, contend that there still may turk in the far north rem nants of the mastadon herds that have left their bones and ivory in almost every stream bordering the lower Yu- kon river.

and backs up his contention with
the following facts: Last night
his advertisement appeared in
the classified section Of the
Press, telling of an unfurnished
house for rent, Fred's telephone
began to ding-a-ling and by eight
o'clock he had the house rented
and was besieged with five other
