HINTERS BECOME.HUNTED
 WHEN BIG BEAR APPEARS

the visitor approached the side of the tent, he seemed to change his mind and swung for the previously torn opening and entere d. He stopped and gazed near-sightedly around, lifted his nose and shifting gently for the tempting order of wel-smoked bacon.
 "Ah, there it is,right straight ahead" On locating the prize, MT. Bear shufied -fbacon-ward" and eagerly seized the top slab-fhe slab that George was resting his head on At the loss of his soft pillow, George awakened with stzrt and tuxneo around to gaze into the bright eyes of a huge bear. In one move George disappeared from sight making a new hole in the tent and exciting Mike, who, aroused from his dreams, raised his head to investigate the disturbance The enormous bear stood in the center of the tent with the juicy bacon between his jaws and gazed around, wondering why all the excitement One look was enough for Mike, and he, too, made his exit. Mike stated afterward that he was too close for a shot and wanted to move away little farther to where he could shoot to advan- tage.
 When the unwelcome visitor emerged from the tent, carrying his supper, Mike and George had sue ceeded in getting far enough away if distance means nything-and were psrehed up on the top limb of separate trees. Evidently George thought the range was suitable for good work with a slx-shooter and he now began firing with the speed of a machine gun. It seems as If Mike, in his hurry to get a little range, had forgotten the trusty 30-06 and left it laying on the sugar pile. Old man bruin, unaware of all the dis turbance he had caused, swung con- tentedly up the creek at peace with the world.
 It is understood that the two boys managed finally to get organized and succeeded in capturing the ma rauder's scalp a few hours later George said he would rather have shot the bear when he first saw him in the tent but thinking that he had left his gun outside, he rushed out to retreive it. He failed to fnd the gun so went up tree and perched on limb to get better view of the surroundings and then discovered his trusty six-shooter strapped to his side.

Puntilla Dredge
 On Canes Creek G0ingFu Blast

The old Puntilla dredge on upper Canes creek is again working after laying idle nearly year.
 Pat Savage purchased the dredge early this summer ..and immediately put a crew to work overhauling the equipment and drilling the ground.
 Apparently satisfied with the re- suits Of he drilling, he hired a .sdre 5ge crew and is now in full swing with the machinery humming night and day. It is reported that the banning Is showing good values. It Is generally believed that MT. Saw age will make "a success of his oper- ations. He has considerable ground available on upper Canes and if it it turns out good, there is enough to keep the plant running for several years

BY THE WANDERING REPoRTEF

Several issues ago, the Kusko Times printed an "Ophir bear story" taken from our files of 16 years ago.
 The old-time ophir bear hunters have nothing on our young Alaskans of today as the following story will indicate
 It seems that a bear had been in the habit of raiding the ARC cache at Shorty Creek, carving of a few choice slabs of bacon and~a ham or two. On each trip back for more ba- con, MT. Bear would scorn the old opening he had made into the cache and insisted on making a new en- trance into the tent sheltering sev- eral tons of foodstnffs.
 After about three damaging trips of the marauder, Foreman Ed Adams decided the game had gone far enough for one bear, so he called forth his two reputed bsar hunters, Mike McRoberts and George Cristo.
 "Pm going to give you a chance to make those bear stories that you fellows have been telling the crew, good. You fellows take your bed and guns and go down to the cache and lay for that bear, and don't come back without that rascaPs scalp" Ed warned.
 The two young men, armed to the teeth with rifles, six-shooters and de- termined looks, left for OF Man Bruins playhouse. The assignment was easy. All they had to do was to take 1t easy until the victim showed up on the scene, then with a well : placed shot they would put the poor, defenseless bear away.
 Arriving at the cache early, the boys prepared to await the return Of brother bear. They talked over their plans and chuckled as they pictured the surprise that was going to greet the marauder.
 The afternoon was warm and still A few stray mosquitoes buzzed list lessly around. Georges head settled back on a pile of bacon and Mike softly dozed on top of a pile of su- gar-dreaming of far-away lands and beautiful nurses.
 Outside the tent different scene was being enacted A huge, black bear trudged methodically down to- ward the tent. his enormous head swinging slowly from side to side He, too, was dreaming, but his dreams were of nice, big, juicy slabs of bacon. and large, .rlump hams As

LARGE GOLD SHIPMENTS COME TO ANCHORAGE

More than S1O0,00o in gold and platinum was brought into Anchor age recently as the annual flow of the yellow metal got underway.
 Indications were that the traffic in valuable mineral would continue until fall with at least S100,0o0 com ing to Anchorage weekly. Prospects are that the amount will increase as the season goes on and the mines bring in their cleanups.
 Local bankers said the flow of gold into Anchorage is earlier than last year and that there is every indica- tion that the 1887 gold production will exceed that, of 1886.
 The gold comes from the Wasilla mines scattered through the Kusko- kwim country. Mine operators .aT- rive in Anchorage by automobile, train and airplane with pokes hang ing heavy with their precious loads.
 Platinum arrives chiefly by air plane from the Goodnews Bay dis trict. The production from that area Is far ahead of last year.

Sees Platinum
 Market Upset by
 Alaska's Out put

The platinum production from. Al aska ia 1889 stands a fair chan.e ot upsetting the world market, E. A, Rasmuson, president Of the Bank ct Alaska said recently in Anchorage in commenting on the activity 1T the GoodneNs Bay country.
 ''The production this year will be much larger than last. Mr. Rasmus- on said. Late this fall the Good news Bay Mining Company will have its huge dredge ready for operation. It will probably be too late in the season for production this year.
 @In 1888 the platinum taken out from Alaska will increase greatly oyer the current year when the large dredge is operated. In 1939 whsl the dredge is operating at top. eapa city and the production mounts still further, the tremendous volume of platinum coming from Alaska may upset the world market"
 Platinum mining IS oEe of the younger industries of Alaska. Start ing fex years ago on . smah sczles the production attracted little atten- tion outside of the Territory.
 In the past most of the platinum of the world came from the .UrA mountains IF Russia Later IdefositS were fcuna in South America ard Bo.neo-
 Indications are that Alaska wE raak high on the list of the platinum producers once operations are 5opef- ating at scheduled speed in the Godef oews Bay district

RECORDS SHOW U. s. PAID LESS FOR TERRITORY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S TT h e United States only paid Russia $1,- 500,000 for the Territory of Alaska instead of S7,200,000 as has always been supposed.
 As a result of recent investiga- tion of the U. s. Treasury Depart ment, records were discovered that uncovered a secret long held I from the public.
 Five million seven hundred thous- and dollars of the supposed purchase price went to pay a debt to Russia incurred by President Abraham Lin coin, during the Civil War. It was debt of gratitude to Russia for her friendly naval display in the inter est of the North when France and England threatened to interfere on the side of the South and were at tempting at the time to smash the blockade of southern ports by the North at the time of Russia's dis play of friendliness toward the Un- ion.
 At the time of the purchase of Alaska, a check was given Russia totalling S7,200,000 apparently the regllar agreed purchase price until the present investigation of the re- cords unearthed the latest facts.
