JUN. Forces Do Not Yet Have Control Koje POW Camps

KOJE ISLAND, Korea, lP) - Informed sources said Monday Communist and anti-Red prison CTS of war battled each other for control of barbed wire POW en- closures for five riotous days in what Koje veterans call bloody" September.
 The five-day struggle-not yet officially announced = caused 100 POW casualties, including IS killed by prisoners. JUN. guards wounded IA with gunfire and 9 with bayonets, quelling the riots.
 JUN. hospital officials say Red POWs treat each other with such barbarity that they have killed more prisoners than have Allied guards in suppressing three POW riots announced this year.
 Camp officials concede they do not have control inside the barbed wire enclosures. Red leaders have organized prisoners into a crude but disciplined army, equipped with stones, clubs and weapons fashioned from cans and metal bars. They also have pistols seized from guards in riots or bought from civilians.
 At least 115 prisoners have died from brutal beatings, hangings or torture in clashes between die hard Communists and anti-COm- muniSts within the barbed wire enclosures, hospital records show.

 Barney Anderson died at his home in Houston, Minn., some years ago and M. A. Domingo died in Nome about five years ago. As far as I know, all of the members of our party who went out to Lost River together have now passed away.

 When I left Alaska I had tin placer claim on Buck Creek, tributary of Mint River, about 12 miles northerly from York. I sold the claim to Tex Rickard in Omaha in the winter of 1903- 04, but still have a large piece of cassiterite (tin ore) which came from Buck Creek. Tex gave me $250 for the claim and I was glad to get. it as I never cared to go back there.

 On June 4th there will be hearings in Washington, DC the H.R. 7648 bill to amend the organic act of the Territory of Alaska and to turn to the Territory all fisheries control except the seal fisheries. This is important bill for Alaskans It seems odd that the hearings should be held in Washington instead of in Alaska where Alaskans can speak for themselves.
 There are good and bad points to the bill which need careful consideration. Alaskans more than willing any part of handling it's own affairs and getting away from bureaucratic controls and should be on hand for the hearings.

Black Hawk, Colorado May IT, 1852

Editor, Nome Nugget:
 It was cheering to read in the Alaska Weekly that 'Louis R. Huber, writing in the Nome Mug get of recent trip to Lost River headquarters, states that Lost River is Americas first productive tin mine."
 I believe that I was with the original discoverer of the Lost River tin lodes in 1903. I arrived in Nome in June, 1899, from the Klondike and went up to the town of York in August, where I be- came recorder of The Kanowgok Mining District.
 Among the men living in York was Barney F. Anderson of Hou- ston, Minnesota. In September, 1903, Barney told a number of us that he had discovered a tin lode on Lost River and offered to take number of us out to it to stake claims. We made up a party of about six of us to make the trip.
 AS I remember it now, besides MT. Anderson and myself, Pat Cavanaugh, Dr. H. s. Mcdonald, M A. Domingo and Harry Cole were in the party.
 We took a tent, camp outfit and grub to last a few days and star ted over the hills with packs on our backs one morning and trav- elled in an easterly direction from York. We reached Lost River just few miles from Boring Sea late in the afternoon, where we pitched camp. Anderson showed us the tin lode which contained rock of a blackish color from which he had obtained an assay of tin. We delayed stalking claims until the next day.
 About daybreak next morning a terrible gale and snowstorm struck our camp With such vio- lence that it blew the tent down and we could not keep it up long enough to cook breakfast. There was nothing to do but go back to York. We ate some raw bacon and dry rice and started home.
 I became lost from the rest of the party during the trip and when I came to the Anacovik River it was running bank full of slushy snow. l wore rubber hip Waders and made several at- tempts to wade 1t, but had to swim a few strokes to get across. Once across, I took off my waders, poured the water out of them and wrung out my socks.
 Starting again for York, I had not gone far when 1 sprained my ankle and had to crawl on my hands and knees about three or four miles to York. The boys helped dry me out and warm up, but when I aWoke next morning I had the rheumatism so bad that I could not walk. In a few days the ankle healed and the rheuma- tism left me.
 It was perhaps ten days later when the news came that the ex- revenue cutter Corwin was at Port Clarence and would take passengers for Seattle. I put a pack on my back and started
