('OTTER REPORTS NEW
STRIKE IN C\SSIAR
Seattle, — Prank J. Cotter,
writing to the Seattle Postint
elligencer, reports that the dis
covery of coarse gold on Plat
Creek in the Muddy River water
shed in the Cassiar district,
caused excitement and a small
stampede.
Colter said: “The section
a large number of creeks, all un
prospected, and all of which
can he panned. The impression
prevails that with such indica
tions there must be concentra
tions some place above the loc
ation and a rich district seems
inevitable.”

YAKATAGA drilling
WILL START IN JULY
Drilling for oil at Yagataga
may be started by July 1, it was
indicated by J. P. Samueison,
head of the field crew of the
General Petroleum Co., who left
Juneau last week for the field.
The base camp is now ready for
the drillers and work could be
started almost im mediately.
Mr. Samueison cabled head
quarters for the drill crew to be
sent north at once It will prob
ably leave Seattle on the next
northbound sailing of the Ad
miral Watson, the next vessel
scheduled to call at Yakutat.
All material, supplies and equip
ment have been transported
from the beach to the scene of
operations and as soo\i as the
rig is erected and the crew at
i ives the drilling can be started
without further delay.
The drill will be operated
by a gas engine. Fuel for it will
be landed at Icy Bay and trans
ported from there to the camp
by tractor. Surface conditions
in the field are said to be high
ly promising.
The camp will be in direct
touch with Alaskan points and
the outside by means of a
radio. A radio outfit was can*
ied in on the first trip and the
station was set up at once and
is now in operation.
As soon as salaried people
find out they can’t live Pierce
Arrow lives on “Tin Lizzy" salar

will be all right.
Say it with kindness while
he is living. Don’t wait to “say
it with flowers" after he’s dead.
