ISkut Receiving
 Attention From
 Bureau of Mines

Stanley Jekell. well known young furrier and taxidermist of Wran= gell. will leave for his mining claims at Quartz Creek on the Is kut river some time in the near fu= ture.
 JekeIl located the claims some three years ago while on a prospect ing and trapping expedition on the lower Iskut The ground is in well mineralized area which many miners who are familiar with that part of the country believe to be an extension of the famous Portland Canal mineral belt.
 Mr. Jekell recently received a communication from the Minister of Mines asking him to tender a bid for his services in making a recon naisanee of the country between Quartz Creek and the head of Bear River at the mouth of which the town of Stewart is located.
 That department contemplates a route between these two districts which are known to contain high grade ore deposits. For the pres ent. al least, a well blazed trail would serve the purpose, giving easy access to several hundred miles of country which has hereto fore remained an uneNplored eoun= try to all but a few of the more restless and venturesOme prospee- tors.
 Jekell has not fully decided whether he will undertake this work. He will, however, continue the development of his own claims on which he has given on option to Vancouver parties representing English copital.

JOE JACKSON HAS I
 ANOTHER EXPERIENCE

Joe-Joe, the irrepressible, after being marooned three days on the sandbars of the Stikine, was res cued by the Hazel B No. on hel trip downstream last week.
 It seems that Joe was the victim of gross injustice, the like of which is by no means new along the waterfront Someone purloined hi oars on the eve of his departure for the Clearwater, 120 miles up the Stikine.
 .'The engine stopped on me below the Boundary" Joe explained. "AnG there I was-floating like a duck on the water without oars.'
 Fortunately he had ample pro visions and his period of maroon ing caused little discomfort.
 Joe was peacefully slumberiRg under a tree when the river boat came by in the wee hours of the morning. The pilot on the Hazel B caught a glimpse of a white under shirt fluttering from a pole on the bank and stopped to investigate.
 Joe was seen Tuesday morning with a box of reasonably good ci- gars in his hand, headed for Bar rington's office.
 ''I go now to pay the salvage, hc announced.

TYING TO STARLAND
 NEXT SUNDAY

From washwoman to smart soci- ety!
 Gloria Swanson bridges this vast social chasm between her last pie ture. Madame Sans Gene" and her new production, 'The Coast of Fol ly7, at the StarIand Sunday.
 In the former, she was the fa- nous laundress who became a dueh- ess and influenced even the mighty Napoleon. In the present story she is the radiant society girl, skim ming through the butterfly life of Palm Beach and New York, the idol of modern day grace and fashion Paris provides an atmosphere of wealth and culture for her, too, when she portrays the Countess de Tauro.
 "The Coast of Folly" directed by Allan Dwan. gives Miss Swanson an enormous opportunity for acting, since aside from the society glam- our in which she moves. there are sequences of real heartbreak. The pathOs and the happiness of love. and the splendid fighting qualities of a girl who faces q crushing prob= lem. afford further avenues for the stars dramatic ability
 Anthony Jowitt, recently seen in "The Little French Girl' and "The Lucky Devil" heads the cast play ing in support of the star. Others include Dorothy Cumming. Alec Francis. Jed Prouty, Lawrence Gray, Arthur Hausman and Eugene Besserer.

O.A.BrOWn Dies
 In Californ a

Word was received in Wrangell late Monday night that o. A. Brown president os the Alaska Sanitary Packing Company Of Wrangen had suffered a relapse and was not ex- peeted 10 live. This telegram was soon followed by another which an nouneed his death al the home of Mrs. Brown sister. Mrs. F. C. HoI- tham. at 11S1 North Allen St.. Pas adena. California.
 Mr. Brown was born in the state of Illinois in the year 1862. While still a cbill his parents moved to Kansas and settled in the town of | Holton. where he grew to manhood and married Frances Barnes. a sis ter. of George H. Barnes.
 Like many youth of his day. O A. Brown faid the foundation for his successful business career in the service Of great railway system Working up from a position as as sistant station agent on the Santa Fe railroad he became Assistant General Freight Agent at Chicago. and. eventually, Travelling Auditor for the system.
 As a natural consequence of this vocation he traveled extensively throughout the middle and western states and it was during this period of his career that his character was moulded and ties of friendship es- tablished which were to last through life
 In 1912 George Barnes met his brother-in=law in Seattle They had not seen each other for twenty years. The result of this chance meeting was the establishing of the Alaska Sanitary Packing Co.,, al Wrangell Alaska. the same year.
 From the first their venture was carried through successfully and the Alaska Sanitary Packing Company has for years been one of the mainstays of the town. In the spring of 1925 the cannery was de- stroyed by fire and the business is now carried on through an arrange ment with the Alaska Packers As sociation.
 Last winter MT. Brown suffered an attack of Ia grippe. Later his heart was affected and while no definite information has been re- ceiYed 1t is believed that his death was caused by heart disease.
 Those who knew him well knew him as a man who made strong and fast friendships wherever his business in life carried him. He was equitable and just in his deal- inpc win nmnloVpps There are men in his employ today who Were with him in the beginning of his cannery venture. This fact speaks more eloquently than words
 He was a thirty-second degree Mason and ShIiner with his lodge affiliations at Wichita, Kansas.
 Yesterday the town council sent the following message to Mrs. Brown:
 All Wrangell mourns the loss
 it has sustained through the
 death of one of it's most loyal
 citizens, but not even death it.
 self can despoil us the benefits tt
 our lives that have resulted from
 knowing him for the past fifteer
 years. We deeply and sincerely
 sympathize with you in this .af
 flicting dispensation, and it i.
 our fervent prayer that the kind
 Father of Us all will fold the be-
 nevolent arms of His love and
 protection around you and that
 the gloom of death may be tc
 some extent dispelled by finding
 Him a refuge in time of need"

Gold Seekers Leave Here for
 TeSlin Lake

A party OI I0uF men uuuGE the leadership of Fred Willard. arrived in Wrangen on the Princess Louiso Monday night and took passage on the Hazel B No. 3 for Telegraph Creek where they will commence a long trek over the trail to Teslin Lake in the extreme southern part of Yukon Territory.
 The party is composed of Fred Willard, Martin Gharlston. Chris Carlson and Henry J. Best. Both Willard and Best are oldtime min CTS. Willard has been operating in the Couer q Alene country for the past twelve years. Mr. Wil- lard, it is said, has organized seven successful companies for the pro motion and development of ore bodies in the Gouer q Alene, one of whose properties was afterWard taken over by Edsel Ford, of De troit.
 Willard's story of his early ex- periences in the Gassiar is reminis- cent of all the glamour which is usually associated with the searel for gold in new and uneXploref countries from Jason and the Golden Fleece, on down.
 Willard first came north in 1896. over the Ashcroft trail He spent the summer prospecting in the Cassiar and returned to the States in the winter. Soon afer came the news of the discovery 0 gold in the Klondike.
 Men who had only a superficial knowledge of the North and the routes of travel were very much in demand and any man who had made the trek over the Ashcroft trail was hired on the spot.
 Willard was engaged to guide party of fifty men and several hundred head of horses from Spo- kane to Teslin Lake where the journey could be continued by wa ter down the Hootalinqua to the Yukon.
 While Willards party was pass ing through St Paul, anothe group of cars containing a party of sixty stampeders was hooked onto the train, and, as a natural consequence, the two parties fra ternized The new group was known as the Uppercu party. They were from New York.
 In Spokane the two parties com bined forces and decided to push on together under the guidance of Willard. The expedition left Spo- kane with 10 men and 33O horses. Willard received s15 a head from the men in the capacity of guide and he was to receive the horses gratis at the end of the trip. Will lard's party crossed the Stikine at a point near Taltahn village. about twelve miles above Telegraph Creek. He says that there were many tents pitched at Telegraph when they arrived.
 The stampeders reached Teslin late in the fall where Willard, who had planned on killing the horses for dog-feed, encountered another party who wanted to trade large consignment of liquor and cigars for the horses. The deal was clos ed and the liquor and cigars came back to Telegraph Creek and were disposed of to Frank Callbreath, the elder.
 It was while Willard was help ing to freight supplies around the lake in the spring that he discov- cred coarse gold. Eighty miles down the lake an arm of the lake was found unsafe for crossing on the ice and a detour was made around it. The discovery was made about twenty miles up this arm. According to Willard's state ment some of the gold was the size of a grain of wheat

Willard's plans are to hire pack horses, either from Callbreath or Hyland, and transport his men and supplies to Teslin Lake by way of the Atlin trail as far as Nahlin telegraph station, thence by way of Otter Lake to Teslin.
