Seattle.— Word has been

pewell, of Seattle, has completed
the two hundred eighty mile hi*
ke from the Interior of the Cass
iar country to Gold Pan Creek,
with only ten pounds of flour
between them to do them for the
long journey.
The party arrived in Gold
Pan in a half starved condition.
They were hunting a placer dep
os it discovered years ago by C.
Mell, while traveling the overland
trail to the Klondike. The depos
was not found by the prospectors
whr delayed their start back until
only the flour remained, intend
ing to to live by the rifle on their
return journey.

The locals foun 1 the off
eniigs of Ed. Carlson to t! eir
liking and he was hammered
hard in the second and third

twirling for the locals, pitched
