NEXT STAMPEDE MIGHT BE INTO
 KOBUK REGION

FAIRBANKS.-'r1le mining area of the Kobuk River, which from its source to mouth is 300 miles long and which flows into KOtze- bue Sount, is destined to produce the next great gold camp in Alaska, in the opinion of mining men, de- clares the Farthest-North Cole gian, a publication issued by the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines
 Although the first prospecting was done in 1898. but comparative ly little of the country has been touched. In some instances ground has bee nworked successfully by hand, shoveling into the boxes On lower Dall Creek, Louis K. Lloyd has been working ground by this method for the last 30 years (and during that time has not been out of the country. Another who has successfully worked ground by hand methods is Michael Toohey, also on Dall Creek; his holdings at present are under option to a com- pany planning hydraulic mining.

 Julian had never painted like that. But those were her fathers pictures. That was his exhibition; those people crowding around him wanted to share the splendor of his recent achievement.
 But who had painted those pie lures? She sat up straight, clench- ing her hands together. Where had her father gotten those pictures that were signed so glibly with his name?

Kobuk was installed seven or eight years ago by Ferguson & Son on California Creek, a tributary of the Kobuluktuk. This plant oper ates two giants, water being sup piled by a ditch three miles in length.
 Another hydraulic plant has been installed by John & O., on Dall Creek. This outfit uses three giants and water is supplied by a pipe line 3,600 feet in length.
 On Kleary Creek. a tributary of Squirrel Creek and the scene of some of the earliest mining, large hydraulic plant is being installed by a Mir Emanuel.
 Two Ambitious Projects
 On the Shungnak River, Kobuk Mines, Inc, are going ahead with an ambitious program. Two plants are planned, one to go into opera tion in the immediate future, the second to be operating by the latter part of the summer. The lower plant will operate with two giants. A ditch IF miles long has been completed to supply the lower plant with an adequate supply of water. Necessary water to supply the needs of the upper plant will be furnished by ditch two miles long.
 At the present, Paul Primer Is prospecting the tributaries of the Redstone, and H. o. Brown and Jerry Crosshave are prospecting the Amber, where they rocked good money out of the bars last season.

 Nothing will ever keep you from me now?' she asked him.

 "Why?"
 Damon will love you when she knows you
 She closed her eyes again Grind ing, roaring over the tracks, tun- neling through the darkness, then into the brilliant sunshine again Would she go on like this forever never reaching anywhere, but al- ways living through this tortuous and terrible dream?
 Whats the matter, -ora? Noth- ings happened?"
 "Oh, nothing, nothing. But want to get there"
 The train slid into the station at last At last they were driving across the city She was grateful for the low buildings the small old-fashioned house with their quaint old-world air, trees again and the long purple road that led to the Thayer house. At last they were in the silvery gray room of Jon's home, the sun set coming in through tall win dows.
 How feverish her eyes looked how desperately white she was She flung off her hat with wild gesture and saw then that someone else was in the room.

 Where have you been today?' Damon asked tonelessly
 "Oh, was in New York-I me Jon-Jon's been so kind"
 Why did she talk in this sense less, crazy fashion? Why was sh' half mad with excitement?
 She kept turning her eyes towart the window There was something that she could not look at, some thing that changed the whole room

SYNOPSIS: When her cousin Francis has to go to distant sanitorium, Nora Lake rejects Dr. More's appeal that she re- main with her Aunt Emily to help care for the household and Fran's two children, aban- doned by their father. She is happy in her engagement to Jonathon Thayer, brother of her late husband, the artist, Nicholas, and yearns for the Thayer mansion, also the home of Jon's step-sister, Damon. Nora's father, Julian, arrives from Italy and borrOws money from Jon to exhibit his paint ings. Because she knows her fathers worthlessness as an artist, she is dismayed upon visiting the art gallery to see, displayed as his, paintings far beyond his ability. Jon does not understand why she asks him to take her away.

 At present most of the travel in- to the Kobuk from the Interior is by air. From Fairbanks the trip can be made to the mouth of Dall Creek in about three hours and half, a great saving over the win ter trail.

woman. The brilliant light that 1 suffused the scene; and the old woman with her patient folded hands.
 All at once there was nothing more to say. Damon was looking at the picture, looking back at her. Here was Jon with the cocktail shaker Nora grasped thin stemmed glass and drank it thirst fly. She felt as though everything in the room were spinning about her in a mad fantastic dance, and in the center Nicholas picture blazed in a circle of light.
 Damon and Jon were talking, and she sat there looking at them, as though they were strangers.
 You've heard about the show?' Jon asked Mora hasn't told you? Her fathers wild success"
 Jon left them alone at last.
 T, too saw the exhibition" Da- mon said
 The words dropped into the si- lent room as though they had fal- len into pool. Nora was battling through this silence, like spent swimmer who fights for life.
 Tell me about your fathers paintings Damon was saying.
 T have nothing to tell you"
 Why did her words spin off into this dreadful silence? Why was Damon looking at her in this strange searching way as though she were a small insect, secure on a pin, an insect struggling for es- cape?
 q should prefer you would tell me when he painted all those pictures"
 How could tell you?"
 Her voice was hoarse She won dered what had made it hoarse.
 T see that you know"
 "Know-what?"
 Damons evas sought the picture of the old peasant woman In an- other moment Damon was going to say something that would change the face of the whole world for them both. She must stave it off.
 T don't know what you mean!''
 You know who painted those pictures"
 The words were like hammer strokes. each one crashing against her skull Her head sank lower and lower
 The man who pained those pie lures is dead" Damon said. Copyright 1930, Jesse Douglas Fox)
