DOG MUSHER
 PRACTICALLY STRANDED
 WITH DOGS IN LOS ANGELE

LOS ANGELES, May 12.-Gun- mar Kasson, one of the Alaskan heroes during the diphtheria epi- demic at Nome early this year, has found little fame and no fortune since his arrival in Los Angeles with his famous leader Balto and the remainder of his dog team. This is related in a complaint filled with the State Labor Department. Kasson alleges he was lured to Los Angeles by Sol Lesser, operator of string of movie houses, on an of fer of S200 weekly for 10 weeks So far he has received only $500 and as result is out of funds, can not return to Alaska and has no money with which to buy dog bis cults for Balto.

Last Years Discovery

When Dr. G M. Dawson visited CasIar goldfelds in 1887 he made particular enquiries about Eagle River, and, from its position geo iogIcally, expressed surprise when informed that it did not contain gold. We ind that some gold had been obtained on Eagle River, pro- baDly after the date of Dawson's trip, but it was not regarded as pay stream.
 W. Grady, who, with his part ner, made the discovery on Gold Pan Creek last summer, comes of family ot prospectors, His uncle, Nj. Grady, proprietor of the St. Leon Hot Springs on Arrow Lakes, was the winner of two fortunes by his strikes in the Slocan. w. Grady had prospected in British Columbia, the Yukon and Alaska. lie had the advantage of practical experience in mining and metal iuTgy, having been employed for some years in the mill of the AL .,.,ka- Ireadwell Gold Mining Com pdny at Juneau, Alaska. Some i.no wledge of the business side of mining is of immense value to a prospector. It gives him a level headed knowledge of his work, and prevents the wild fights of imagin- ation aud dreams of which pros tim, to their own detriment and that of the country as we'll.

Fine Pay Streak Opened Up or Bench
 On DeQSe Creek

R. E. Dickinson, of the Dickinson Mining Company, with property in the Cassiar, received most encourag- ing news in a telegram from the this week, says the Alaska Weekly. The telegram stated that in the tunnel that is being driven to pros pect the bench on Dease creek pay was encountered at ninetyfive feet from the portal of the tunnel run ming S9.50 per cubic yard. It has long been thought by placer men that this bench contained pay, and acording to old mining reports, pay had at one time been located there. Mir. Dickinson, who spent last sum- mer and winter in the diggings prospecting and getting ready for the installation of a plant on the ground decided to drive a tunnel to satisfy himself. which he did with the above result.
 Mir. Dickinson said to The Alaska Weekly reporter:
 VI am of course pleased to have the news just received. I stayed on the ground until the tunnel had been started and spent a great part of last fall getting out the neces- sary timbers for timbering and lay ing track. l knew from former reports that there was pay there and have been confident that We would strike it. just about where we did When I left our Camp, made arrangements to have an h. dian runner bring the message out to Telegraph creek as soon as they hit the pay. I am just winding up the odds and ends and will leave for Wrangell about the mid dle of this month. My equipment, consisting of a one and one-half- yard Saurman bucket outfit, com plete with tractors and donkey en- zine and a blacksmith outfit, is on the way, via Vancouver I have completed arrangements to have it rushed up the Stinkine and will begin to move it into Dease lake as soon as I arrive on the ground 1 expect to be set up and in full operation by August first. I am taking in special trailer to oper- ate with the tractor and do not anticipate any difficulty in moving the equipment.
 "The Cassiar looks good and Il believe we are going to have one of the best placer camps ever dis covered in the North there in a couple of years. This stampede will get a large bunch of pros into the country and they will turn over some thing. I feel sure. Even the quartz outlook is good there, and I look forward to some real permanent mines"

A Four Years Search

Four years ago w. Grady deter mined on q prospecting trip of Casiar, believing, from what he knew of the geology of the country that i offered good chance of making a strike. For four years. every summer saw him in CaSsiar. He saw quantities of float, some times carrying free gold, and at other times sulphides which he be- IleVed were associated with the precious metal; but he failed eith- CT to obtain sufficiently encourage Ing prospects of placer gold or to locate ill place deposit of gold quartz that appeared to him worth while.
 The most interesting thing he saw in his travels was in a talus at the foot Of d large glacier, much native copper broken off from vein buried under the ice ana collected at the foot of the slide. The occurrence resembled Very closely the chalcocite in tn. siaclai taius at the Kennecott Mlhe at the head of Copper River. Alaska, one of the worlds richest copper mines. Unfortunately the h. cation of the discovery was SO in accessible that MT. Grady consider ed 1t of no value.
 Looking over the country North east of Dease Lake last summar HIS attention was attracted to the large amount of quartz covering the country, some of it showing gold. This led him to prosnect the headwaters of Eagle River where on a creek which he nam. ed Gold Pan, he observed the ra mains of two gold pans. He wac accompanied by Hugh Ford an arsonaut of the Yukon, and tbev uecided to try the creek. Tbi. was on August IF. Digging into .ne gravel they found gold.

First Three Boat Loads
 Gold Stampeders Leave
 Wrangell for the Diggings

The stampede into the Cassiar is on. And Wrangell, on account of it's location at the mouth of the Stikine, figures more prominently in the rush than any other point between the diggings and the Out side.
 Not since the days of '9S has Warngell seen anything like the present rush into the Cassiar.
 The first three boats for Tele- graph Creek left here Sunda morning at 11:30. Owing to th' importance of getting in supplies the boats were all heavily loaded with freight. Many of the oldtimer: advised that nothing would b, gained by passengers leaving on the first voyage. A number of To Cal people who are going in pre- ferred to wait until the second ol third trdip. Grady, the discoverer, was among those who preferred to remain in Wrangell for another week or two. Among the stamped, CTS there were many who were will ing to take the advice of the olt timers, but there were also livel. bunch who were rearing to go and who would have been keenl. disappointed had they not gotten away on the first voyage.
 Sunday was one of the most perfect days imaginable. Every body in town wanted to see the first bunch of stampeders off, and there were probably not a dozen people in town who were not O. the dock or along the waterfront A large number of the spectator. had kodaks but there was such jam that they could not use then to the best advantage.
 The three Burlington boats left at the same time, with one of them pushing a barge. There was shout ing and waving of bandkerchiefs
 Richard Suratt, well known cine matographer, who represents large eastern film corporation, filmed the departure of the little fleet carrying three hardy group of argonauts to the newest golC camp in the world.
 After travelling a short distance one of the boats returned to the dock and took on the cinematogra pher who will film the arrival O the stampeders at Telegraph Creek. This means that in a very shor time pictures of the Cassiar gold rush will be shown outside.
 In addition to the gold stamped CTS there were two parties of min ing men who went in to look the Cassiar over with a view to its possibilities for dredging operations
 A notable passenger was George Platzer who is heading an aerial expedition to the Tropical Valley" supposed to be in Northeastern British Columbia. He is accompan- panied by his three sons. The engineer for the expedition will follow shortly, and the airplane is coming from Three Rivers, Quebec to take the party into the Valle, by direct air route. They have a1 ample supply of stores and a radio outfit.
 More than 150 tons of freight were taken up the river the first trip. The cargo included food supplies, caterpillars, auto trucks, horses, and oxen, which will used in transporting men and SUD- plies from Telegraph Creek to thu Diggings.
 J. A. Stephen, Canadian Road Engineer, arrived from Anyox, B. C., Saturday. He left on the fol lowing day with the stampeders for Telegraph Creek to put a crew of men to work keeping the road in condition between Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake.
