Of Brady Hansen
 Still Mystery

Mort Sullivan who is in charge of the Joe Sullivan mining activ- ities at Bluff is visitor in town. He expects to return to Bluff in a few days to complete arrange ments for next winters mining operations when the highline drag system will be placed in full swing bringing up the golden sands from beneath the watrs of Boring Sea.
 In an interview with the Mug get in reference to the disappear ance of Brady Hansen, MT. Sulli- van said: the disappearance of r. van said: The Whereabout of MT. Hansen is clouded in mystery. He was last seen when he paid a visit to the Sullivan mining camp at Bluff on Sunday, April l7th, after which he started for his own cabin some little distance away.
 On the l9 or 10th of April, Mrs. Tucker. a native woman. went to his cabin and found it empty. She looked and inquired about him from neighbors without results. A local searching party went out in search of Brady Hansen for several days without the faintest of results.
 His cabin was in orderly man. ner and his friends are at a loss to know why he should want to disappear. It is understood he receives a pension, and was not in want. He evidently left the cabin with scant clothing. as most of his winter clothing was found in the cabin, even to his winter footwear, with the exception of a pair of low cut off slippers from mukluks.
 There has been no official search made for the missing man, and those at Bluff are at a loss to know what to do in the matter.
