SKAGWAY BOYS FREED
 BY BEAR ON TRAIL

Last Thursday morning as Ken meth and Fred Blanchard were hik- ing over the famous old "Chilkoot Pass" the trail upon which thou sands of weary miners trudged in the years of '97 and '97, they saw a bear rambling toward them and were forced to take to a tree.
 The episode occurred about one mile north of Finnegan's Point, which is about five miles up the Dyea Valley. They had seen an- other bear about one mile before this, but that bear did the conven- tional thing and walked in the oth- CT direction. This bruin, however, after being seen by the two Chilkoot hikers, began to walk nonchalantly up to them. Ken and Fred were in no mood to trifle with bears at that moment and so they both slid up a tree. The bear left soon after.
 On this trip they also saw twenty goats and one moose.-Skagway Midnight Sun.

YUKON SILVER MINE
 PERHAPS WORLDS BEST

The Western Canada Mining News of Vancouver. B. C., says:
 Despite the low price of silver, the mine of the Treadwell Yukon Company, in the Mayo district, Yu- kon Territory. continues to oper- ate, this being possible because of the high value of the ore. L. Wer- necke, general manager of the com panys operations in the north, states that the Mayo mine Is prob ably the richest of its kind in the world, producing anywhere from 60 to 100 ounces per ton on the aver age. Silver of this high grade ex- tends over a known area of 150 square miles to a depth of 600 feet and more over the Mayo district.
 Removed hundreds of miles from the seaboard, 1855 miles up the Stew art River from the junction of the Yukon and 45 miles in by tractor from Mayo Landing, they are faced hAlh hiSh IiohopOA Ia'ioh anu pAO duction costs.

MATT NIEMINEN BREAKS
 ALASKA ALTITUDE RECORD

ANCHORAGE Alaska Pilot Matt Nieminen. accompanied by Mechanician Cecil Higgins, is be- lieved to have broken all Alaska al- titude records on Wednesday when he mounted 24.OOO feet in a flight over the top of Mt. Mckinley. The two left Anchorage at 10:45 o'clock Wednesday morning and flew 150 miles to Mt. Mckinley, They were garbed in ordinary flying clothes. The plane returned to the hangar at o'clock in the afternoon.
 Pilot Nieminen said the going was easy until an altitude of 1S,- 900 feet was reached then the climbing was slower because of 1essening of the power of the engine of the plane. The plane circled the peak of Mt. Mckinley, part of the time within 100 feet of the noun tain The fliers scanned in vain in the snow and ice for the monuments supposed to have been planted by the Stuck expedition and the Lloyd party which preceded the Stuck party.
 The fliers remained close to the peak for almost an hour, spiraling slowly upward and then circling high above the peak to obtain downward views Moving and still pictures were obtained of the noun tain. At various stages of the flight the thermometer inside the plane's cabin registered 20 below zero.
