Pete Anderson, known turnout AL aska as "Sourdough "Pete" arrived in Seward on Saturday nights train on the first stretch of his journey
 to the States. Mr. Anderson was lessee of the Skagway House here having recently given up the prop erty in order to tend to his many mining properties in the Interior For the past two months he has made his headquarters in Nenana, his old stamping grounds. He has prospect ed and travelled thru every camp from Ketchikan to Nome and has become practical in that particular line.
 Before coming to Alaska, MT. An derson settled in the little town of Kellogg, Idaho, in the Couer d' Alene range and prospected with his part ner, Dr. T. R. Mason, who is now residing in Kellogg. About two months ago, Mir. Anderson received the gladsome news that the claims that he and his partner staked in the early Idaho days proved fruit full and that stake beyond his dreams was disclosed. It is the in- tention of MT. Anderson to go south to meet his old-time partner and set tie the vast holdings which have been kept in safety these many years without his knowledge, In speaking of the surprise MT. Anderson ex- claimed, that's partner!"
 Upon his recent trip into the h. terior, MT. Anderson took options on a rare metal, antimony, which ap- pears very scarce in Alaska in the quantity in which his claims dis close The precious metal is used for divers purposes, mainly for med icinal purposes, powder, used to harden printers types and an alloy of babbit The vein, which is exposed, reveals it 20 feet wide, 30 feet deep and approximately 500 feet long and he is confident that he has found the real thing. The group of claims in which the antimony is found is called the Stampede Group and is owned by Interior men. To gain access to Railroad station at Lignite and thence across the Toklat river which is a branch of the Kantishna.
 In referring back to his trip into the Couer d. Alene district, MT. An derson said that he will take trip into his old holdings, the Riverside Claims which is located on the north fork of the Couer d. Alene river Kellogg is the nearest station.
 It is Mir. Anderson's intention to come back, as he is gripped with the claws of the North. The Outside he said, which he hasn't seen for a number of years, holds nothing for him. The North has wonderful pros pSCIS, Uul do uOuCJ dppSdIS tU Uc the main cog of the wheel of de- velopment, he will interest men of Idaho into his recent venture which he claims to be as sure as shell game for those operating it. That he is a prospector, and knows his stuff in the mining game from A to z is unquestionable and he says when he comes back he will have the cash and start the new-found ball a-rolling in the Kantishna.
 MT. Anderson expects to sail from Seattle the latter part of October and upon reaching the interior will procure a team of huskies and mush into his property when the North ern Lights flicker silently into the dawn of winter.
 While in town he is a guest at the Hotel Seward.
