With reference to the report ed platinum strike at Good Bay, recent arrivals in Seward reported that tffey heard a great deal more of the strike from a distance of 500 miles than when they were in the region At the present time ev- erything is in the prospecting stage and does not warrant 8 stampede. There are several old timers working ground there at this time and by next fall they probably will know the extent of the ore. From other sources it was learned that many conflicting reports have come from the Red Mt. in the Good News Bay district.
