GOLD STRIKE BEETLES
 RIVER NEAR W|sEMAN

The gold strike on the Bettles river, about 30 miles from Wiseman, has occasioned considerable excite ment in the Koyukuk, according to Pilot Ed. Young, who returned to Fairbanks few days ago, in an interview accorded the Fairbanks News Miner
 Claims have been staked righ from the landing field to a point five miles up the river but there is plenty of ground to be staked yet. Young took a few pans of gravel at random and found colors in all of them. High water is preventing pro- specting now. Prospectors are get ting in supplies this summer and the ground will be thoroughly prospect ed by next spring, Young said. Last fall shortly before the freezeup, when the water was low, $50 was ob- tained from three pans in the river channel. Both the channel and ben ches farther up the river will be pro- spected.

stated the checks bore the signature
Of Wilson and that he had filled
them out Mt the request of Perez,
