OVERSTOCKS
To the Public:—
We have Just finished stock tak
ing, and find that we are heavily
overstocked so are making enorm
ous reductions in Hardware—as
much as 50% in certain lines. Not
withstanding immense advances out
side, especially in Hardware and
Metal Goods, we are still selling jo
the basis of goods purchased the
past two or three years.
We will sell for cash only at these
prices, and for a limited time, until
we bring our stock down to the re
quirements of the Camp.
If you have an order to be filled,
let us figure on it; we can save you
money. We have proved it no
others, we can prove it to you.

ALASKA NEWS ITEMS
AND TOWN TOPICS
Mebes and Co. gu the submarine
liave now three shafts to bed rock
and are still drifting.
Practically all the miners from
Dexter were in for Xmas and all ot
them will have suppliyes sent out
as they return.
It was reported that bed rock had
been reached by Andy Olsen and Co.
on the Porsell claim and workable
pay had been found.
* * *
Dippel and Quesky expect to leave
today with supplies for the Bowery
claim where they have already out a
fair sized dump.
Chris Anderson, Jacobsen and
partners left yesterday for the Cyrus
Noble bench where they are drifting
for the elusive.
Mebes and Hansen will move an
outfit to Martin creek today where
they have already located pay on the
second beach in that vicinity.
In all directions yesterday the
ni ieis were retaking themselves tc
the hills returning to their mining
ground after spending Xmas in
Nome.
Today Rowe will move a supply
of oil and coal to the Diamond L.
for Frawley and Co. who have lo
cated pay extending from that
worked last summer by Alvich and
partners.
Considerable stormy weather is
delaying the work of moving the
Flowers dredge down on Solomon
river. The teams had to lay off on
Sunday as the blizzard madd all
work impossible.
Arrivals from the Kougarok state
that mining operations were delayed
by the miners in that section being
engaged for the most part of the
month searching for Conrad Freed
ing. They are now making ready
to start up operations where they
will take out dumps.
Warrants were issued yesterday
at the instance of the City Attorney
charging John Kulic a Russian,
Jake Topolski and W. E. Doyle with
disorderly conduct fighting in the
Northern saloon. The row occurred
on Saturday and started over a
game of cards, the Russian
first engaging Topolski and later
Doyle. The scrap was a somewhat
serious one.
Jerry Sullivan arrived yesterday
afternoon from the Kougarok, the
first to begin and the last to aban
don the search fer the missing Con
rad Freeding, whose fate is probably
sealed beneath the drifts in some
gulch near a creek head and not far
from the Springs. The story told by
Sullivan is an Alaskan epic to which
no pen can do justice in the earnest
effort of the hardy Kougarokers to
render succor if possible to, or to
discover the remains of, the lost
man. Jerry and Hastings had been
doing assessment work on Humboldt
creek and they reached the Springs
where Mrs. Freeding and her little
girl were staying. Freeding had left
'some six days before for Taylor,
and was to have returned with a
dog'team to bring them to Taylor,
also. Mrs. Freeding asked Jerry
if he wouldn’t take them to Taylor
but he thought it might be too cold
for the girl and as they had not
many dogs it might be harder than
she believed. However Jerry gave
Hastings two dogs while he left
ahead of them with the rest <of his
team* breaking trail for them. It
was 46 below and blowing some
when they set out. Sullivan noticed
ski tracks and later foot marks on ‘
the snow crossing the creeks as he
went along to Taylor with his team
breaking trail for Hastings. As he
reached Bob Belcher’s cabin on
Macklin creek, he asked Belcher if
Freeding has passed, but Belcher
told him no. Then Sullivan became
doubtful for Freeding's fate for the
first time, and he waited for Hast
ings to come up, and when the lat
ter did, he told him without men
ioning his fears to hurry on to Tay
lor without stopping. At Taylor
they learned the fatal truth of the
man being lost. Immediately a
search was organized. Mike Kenne
dy, John Lands, Bob Wells and an
other took up the search around
Taylor, Charlie Nelson went up to
Dick StapeHon's and Dick notified
Paddy Carrol who went to Paddy
Flynn, Bob Johnston and Bloom
berg and many others. Each party
had a separate section which was
systematically searched, each meet
ing at an assigned place to make re
port. Neither cold nor darkness nor
food shortage interfered with the
tireless, self sacrificing search of
these men who followed every little
track or trail. They found his skis,
they located where he had gone
close to and backed off from an
overflow, where he had stayed two
nights in an abandoned igloo was
built by Fisher Baldridge, they fol
lowed where he had climbed a high
steep mountain, five miles from the
Springs where he had taken his
bearings and followed a straight
compass line almost due west until
he came within two thousand feet of
the springs and safety, but lost him
self again when he turned to the
left instead of keeping to the right
just across a slight divide. They
traced his tracks down the river to
where he bad gone on foot into a
thick clump of willows—these fine,
tireless, thoughtful, fearless men
whose unremitting service for their
fellow man without any hope of re
ward save to make a heavy heart
lighter, makes every Alaskan proud.
Jerry Sullivan says that the snow
has drifted off all the hillsides and
left them bare with only the gulches
deep with snow. It is believed that
it is in some of these that Conrad
Freeding is lying where he finally
gave in from sheer exhaustion.
