ne IS planning to get away as soon IS the snows are off for flight of several hundred miles by plane to a point way above the Arctic Circle and easterly fro mNome, where he will prospect for gold placers. He has been in that region before, and says he believes the area north of the Arctic Circle is the place for the pros pector now to look for virgin placers, and he is just the boy who has the optimism and the grit to follow up his dream. Tall, muscular and hard as nails, he does not let the years which have given his hair a slight touch of gray dampen his determina- tion or hope. In all his years in the North he has not been grubstaked once, and when he hit the country he was broke. In all that time he has financed himself on so many pros pecting ventures he has lest the count on the list. How does he do it?
 "Well, it's just this way" says Standish. "I will not accept a grub stake. I do not want to be bothered with it. When I am broke I go to work long enough to get money to buy an outfit, and then I hit the trail again and keep at it until I strike it or run out of supplies. When 1 fail to hit it I get back to work some place. I cannot affort to be bothered with grubstakers. have been fortu- nate in having good health-and am gratefol, and hope to be able to keep going for years"

His property there is on Galena Hill, and he is marking the time until the silver tide comes back. In the meantime he is planning to -fhope away by plane soon for another gold hunt.
 Leaving Keno Gity winter before :. last, O,Sullivan worked a lay on famous old Gold Run creek, in the iKlondike, for one winter; and last summer was engaged in hydraulic work on a gold proposition in the Circle distrmtt.
