Beautiful Weather
 Opens Deer Season

For the past two weeks Wran- gell has lived in a paradise of beautiful weather, and from the first day it has been greeted joy ously by the Wrangell residents, tired of the unusual cold and rainy weather which has prevailed most of the summer.
 Beach suppers, picnic and outing trips of all kinds, have been in- dulged in to the limit. One young man claims that he has eaten so many hot dogs during this time, that he barks on the slightest prov ocation.
 With the opening of the deer season on Saturday, local sportsmen were out in full force. Many have had excellent success while others, so far, had none at all. Depreda- tions of wolves on the deer herds have been especially noticeable on Woronkofski island. The duck sea- son opens next Thursday, and con- tinues for the months of September and October.

Joe Jackson Returns
 From Tibert Creek

Joe Jackson arrived from Tele- graph Creek Friday evening on the Hazel B. No. 2. For the past ten weeks he has been prospecting in the Cassiar and has located two placer bench leases on the north and south slopes of Tibert Creek, one mile west of the mouth of Dease river and a mile and half north from Porter's Landing.
 This ground was worked on the surface by oldtimers in the early seventies. Jackson has had an Elm pire drill on the property and says that the engineers figures show it is worth $2.25 per cubic yard. The property is free from unwieldy boulders and he will endeavor to get financial backing for what he considers to be an excellent hy- draulic proposition.
 He left on the Queen for Juneau, where he will take a westward boat to Seward enroute to the Chicka- loon district to see the four pros pectors that he grubstaked early in the season.
 Jackson says that he is disap- pointed about the way his Grub stake Company flopped in the Cas- siar but he is not discouraged. It takes worse Hops than that, he says, to get good man down.
