Eric Dodin and Henry Stubbs art
the first arrivals of the year from
Chisana camp, having reached her*
last night In a small boat via the river
route, says the Fairbanks News-Miner.
They left Ohisann about the first ol
May. Coming down they met with
lots of ice trouble but got through
without serious danger or difficulty,
The water Is reported very low for
this season of the year.
Bodin left here two years ago on
the steamer Kellance during the stam
pede. He thinks that he will take a
trip into the Tolovana to see if he can
get hold of any ground or lays In
there. Stubbs went out to Ester
Creek this morning where he formerly
lived.
Bodin this morning said that he be
lieved Chisana would produce only
about $200,000 this year, as no new
ground has been opened. He gave
no credit whatever to the rumored
strike on Dry Gulch. Prospects have
been found there before this but when
he left there, there was nothing to
indicate that a strike had been made.
Last year lfamshaw took out $276,
000 from Bonanza, out of which he
paid the sum of $90,000’ for wages to
his men, yet he got Into financial dif
ficulties at that. He left Seattle
for the Chisana to resume operations
this season and should be in there
by now.
Sam Shucklin, the former Fair
banks' merchant, who took a stock
of men’s rurnishlngs Into the now
camp. Is In hard luck again. He
reached McCarthy too late to get his
year’s supplies in before the break-up,
and was compelled to leave over a ton
of it at McCarthy to come In over the
summer trail on packhorses if he
takes it in.
Charlie Hange, who took out a lot
of dust from Skookum last year ar
rived from Seattle just a few days
before the boys came down river.
Carl Wlttman, one of the locators
of Snowshoe Gulch, is also back from
Seattle where he spent the winter.
Last winter Tomin,y Burns took out
a dump on the upper end of 4 Bonanza
and John Hansen worked on the
upper end of 5. Both are now clean
ing up with good prospects of doing
exceedingly well.
The white tent city has appeared
at the mouth of Bonanza Creek, which
is now the center of the camp’s popu
lation. Chisana has about 200 people
this spring and prospecting will be
vigorously pushed in all directions.
On Wilson Creek several holes were
sunk by Bodin and hiB partner hut
they did not reach bedrock.

ARTIST AT 95 TEARS
BITING PAINTINGS
LONDON, June 2.—One of the ex
hibitors in the Royal Academy Exhibi
tion this year is James Sant, an
honorary retired Academician, who
born in 1820. His record of painting
pictures for exhibition at the age of
96 is only equalled by that of Titian,
who is said to have continued work
with his brush nearly up to the time
of his death at 99.
GERMAN PAPERS EXPOSE
FAKED WAR PICTURES
BERLIN, June 2.—Another case of
alleged faked war pictures has been
exposed by Ded Tag, an illustrated
daily published by the Lokal-Anzeiger
Company.
The London Daily News in its edi
tion of April 2 printed a picture of a
big crowd of men standing in line,
each with an empty metal bowl in his
hand. Above the picture was the in
scription: “German worker feels the
pinch,” and below it the following
explanation. “The above crowd lining
up for rations is a familiar sight in
Germany. It reveals one aspect of our
naval power.”
Alongside this picture Der Tag re
produces its originul taken from its
own issue of August 13 and bearing
r the inscription: "How we treat in
terned Russians and French; they are
standing in line waiting for their food
to be given out.” The two pictures are
identical in every respect.

BOBBY SHELDON’S
PROFITS 80 CENTS
Bobby Sheldon has ceased operat
Ing his automobile stages to the coast
until summer time, he states, but he
feels that although he has not come
out much ahead In a financial way, he
has, however, been well paid In an
other way for his work.
To some of hts friends a few days
ago. Bobby explained his financial
situation In a rather peculiar way. He
declared that he had paid off all hts
help and debts and that after deduct
ing them he found that he had « bal
ance of Just 80 cents.
“But these 80 cents,” he explained,
"did not represent my net profits. In
my accounts, I made an entry just
below the 80 cents balance, crediting
myself with $5,0000, representing the
value of being my own boss for the
winter. So you see I am ahead Just
$5,000.80 for my winter's work.—Fair
banks Citizen.

ATTEMPTED TO SAVE
COLORS OF PRZEMYSL
PETROGKAD, June 2.—A Kiev
newspaper publishes the following ac
count of the Austrian officers’ attempt
to save the colors of the fortress of
Prezemsyl:
At the surrender of Prezemysl the
standard of the fortress and the
colors of regiments constituting Its
garrison disappeared. A few days ago
a party of captured officers, with Gen
eral Tomashy at their head, was quar
tered in Kiev. As the result of Infor
mation received, the prisoners were
searched. In General Tomashy’s
handbag was discovered, complete and
in perfect condition, the standard of
the fortress of Przemysl. \ further
search disclosed long colored stripes
of material hidden away in the lining
of the officers' headdresses. These
stripes proved to be parts of the regi
mental colors.
“It appears that on the eve of sur
render of the fortress all the regimen
tal colors were cut Into strips, num
bered, and then handed over to the
officers of the garrison. These officers
on return from captivity, were to give
back to the authorities the pieces of
colors entrusted to them, so that It
would be possible to remake the colors
and in this manner give the regiments
concerned the right of further exist
ence.”

FARMERS USING DRILLS
IN SOWING SEEDS
BERLIN, June 2.—No detail is too
small to be overlooked by the govern
ment in Its measures to make the
most of the food supply. A formal
order of the Federal Council even pre
scribed the amount of oats that might
be used in sowing this spring, setting
it at about 1014 bushels each hectare,
which amounts roughly to 4 1-6
bushels an acre.
An appeal has gone out to the farm
ers to use drills as much as possible
in sowing, since a greater amount of
seed than that prescribed is generally
used In broadcasting, the system still
employed by the greater majority of
German farmers. Farmers who own
drills are asked to lend them to their
less fortunate neighbors.

WONUDED MAKING USE
DE REMAINING LIMBS
PARIS, June 2.—Soldiers in hos- j
pitals of the Somme, who have lost
an arm, are being trained In the use ^
of the remaining member by Leon |
Coblence of Abbeville, who, during
35 years experience has developed a |
marvelous dexterity with one arm. i
Monsieur Coblence lost his arm in a ;
railroad accident. Little by little he!
became able to dress himself, make;
his toilet, lace his shoes, tie his cravat,
peel fruit, do his own gardening and
trim his own finger nails. He swims,
rides a bicycle, plays the piano and
has a license as a conductor of a
motor-car. Now he is spending his
time in the hospitals wherever there
are convalescents lacking an arm,
showing them how they can get along
in life nearly as well bb if they had
two.

SKELETSN OF MAN
FOUND IN KOYUKUK
The body of a man was found on the
Koyukuk river about too miles from
the mouth, in the vicinity of Big
Bend. The body was that of an old
man, aB indicated by the gray hair,
and the head was pillowed on either
some clothing or blankets. The man
had been dead a long time, and when
found little remained, apparently, but
a skeleton. ^ ^
ESKIMO VILLAGE
WILL BE
MOVED
Carrying a sawmill and a shipment
of lumber for a new Eskimo village to
be established by the Alaska Bureau
of Education at Noorvlk on the Kobuk
River in the Arctic, the four-mast
schooner C. S. Holmes, owned and
operated in the Arctic trade by Capt.
Jock Backland, veteran navigator and
sky pilot of the polar seas, is now on
his way for the Far North.
The bureau of education plans to pick
up bodily the entire native community
of Deering, Kotzebue Sound, and
transfer it to Noorvlk, at present
merely a name. The Noorvlk district
offers the natives a plentltude of hunt
ing, trapping and fishing and in addi
tion is well timbered. The timber will
be cut into lumber for frame houses,
the mill being turned over to the
natives under the supervision of the
bureau.
The feat of transplanting an entire
community is not unprecedented in
the Far North, but it has rarely been
attempted on so large a scale. Deering
at present numbers more than 160
persons. The Holmes also carries
north the engine for the operation of
the sawmill and a shipment of 8,300,
feet of dressed lumber for flooring
and ceiling the homes to be erected in
the new village. Other cargo for the
Kobuk district includes the building
material for a government school.
The Holmes altogether has more
than 1,000 tons of cargo. A large part
of it consists of supplies for mission
ary stations and government schools.
The schooner will proceed direct to
St Lawrence Island to discharge
school and missionary supplies. Her
points of call from then on follow:
Slnuk, 25 miles northwest of Nome, to
discharge school nnd missionary sup
plies; Wales, to discharge school and
missionary supplies; ShismarefT, to
discharge school supplies; Kotzebue,
Notak, Selawlk and Noorvlk, school
and missionary supplies; Kivallng,
school and missionary supplies; Point
Hope, store supplies; Icy Cape, school
supplies; Wainwright and Point Har
row, school and missionary supplies.
From Point Barrow the Holmes will
return to the Kobuk Klver to load
the pack of Captain Backland's trout
cannery, the most northerly fish plant
of this kind in the world. Besides the
trout cannery, Captain Backland has
a number of trading posts in the
Arctic that will be visited by the
schooner. The cannery is located in
Hathara Inlet and while northbound
the Holmes will discharge a heavy
shipment of coal, gasoline and ma
chinery for the plant, which has a
capacity of close to 16,000 cases.
