DAN ASTON, OLDTIMER,
 RETURNS FROM MSIBERIA

Oidtimers will probable remember Dan Aston, former resident of Ia kotna, ,1snnd later of Flat. Two or three years ago Dan, together with Andy Anderson of Flat, pulled up stakes and found their way into Si- beria, where gold was supposed to be plentiful; sndneasg to get.
 Dan returned to Fairbanks few days &gosc poorer in pocket but rich in experience, according to recent arrival here. Dan reports that there is no question about the richness of the country, but, ,like'the riches in the Arabian Nights, they are guarded by all kinds of evil genii and loca rules and regulations, that it IS impossible to get anything out of the country, and it was with great deal of diff culty that he finally got out himself.
 The narrowing tales*of his rough experiences will make interesting and instructive reading, which will be pub- lished sometime in the future for the benefit of the readers of the Kusko Times.

 Foremost among the new strikes Is that of Connolly brothers, who appear to hauetthe greatest body of pay and the highest values of any find made in recent years. They are operating on the Anvil-Dexter divide at the head of Dry creek, and oldtime pros pectors who have visite6the property declare the strike compares favorably with the old gold bonanzas of halcyon days Dan Connolly told friends that it was impossible to state the values definitely. Grab pans have lcarried 60 cents, with the body of pay dirt rang ing from ten to fifteen feet, and some times twenty feet, with 25-cent pans frequently found in the higher pay levels. They are using a steam hoist.
 Bruner and Roth are taking out a dump at the foot Of Dry4cfeek, and have picked up the same run of gold found by Comedy.
 Newhauser and White*areg sinking between Bruner and Connolly. James Topolshy, on the claim adjoining the Connellys, is blasting, and'it is ex- pected he will strike pay on bedrock

very gratifying, and is only an
