declare they had a thoroughly good
time.

MOTOR BOAT HAS
Grave fears .were enertained, for
‘he safety of the power boat Buffalo
and .hose on board during bet trio
from Knik to Sunrise. The Buffalo
left Knlk on Monday night to make
the trip to Sunrise for the purpose
of getting the outside mail The trip
over was without incident, but on
Tudesday night a start was made on
the return to Knik. When out from
Sunrise a short distance a terrific wind
storm was encountered and Capt. Den
ny found that he had a task before him
to get the little craft into a harbor
of safety. He attempted to make
Fire Island but the night was very
dark and he lost his bearings in the
storm and was simply at the mercy
of the waves. Severul passengers
were aboard and all, save the caiv
tain, were so sick that they were
down and out. The storm drove the
little boat with terrific speed .for
many miles and without warning was
driven high up on the Susitna flats
near the Lewis river where she lay and
pounded upon the mud until all on
board were sure that it was only a
matter of a short time until the boat
would go o pieces and all on board
lost. But Capt. Denny lost no time in
taking action. He cast the anchor
over and hoped that it would hold
until the storm abated, but the anchor
line parted like a pipe stem and the
boat was thrown nbout in helpless
condition. Something had to be done,
and captain began chopping away the
heavy iron winch of the boat for use
as an anchor. This was thrown over
and proved a life-saver. The passen
gers had recovered from their sea
sickness by this time and all worked
l‘ke beavers to give what aid they
could.Some worked at the pumps while
others bailed water with buckets and
thus kept the little craft in hand un
til morning came and survey taken of
the boat. It was found that the rud
der had been lost and after some
thrilling experiences the Buffalo re
turned to Knik In safety.

REPORTS RICH STRIKE
IN KUSKOKWIM
I>r. Green, of Taktna, reports the
discovery of a great paystrek on Can
dle creek, n tributary of the Talaena
which flows Into the Tukotna. He
says Tom Aitken and Tom McKinnon,
the owners of the property had a key
stone drill working on the ground all
last winter and last summer. They
also had a crew of 22 men working in
an open cut at the timber line where
the ground is only 6 to 7 feet deep.
Writing of the ground the doctor
says; “Paystreak here is 150 feet
wide and gets wider as it goes down
stream, being 480 feet where they
quit drilling. The drill holes show
an averge of $7 to the square foot
of bedrock along the left limit of the
paystreak. Thirty feet from this rim
it averages $6 and from there to the
extreme right limit of the payBtreak
it gradually tapers off to fifty cents
to the square foot of bedrock.”
