Patients are cared for at the San

Since the insane of Alaska have

PROSPECTORS FIND AN
UNDERGROUND LAKE
Two prospectors working on Flat
_'reek in the Kovukuk district sunk
i hole 225 feet and ran into clar blue
ce. After working with steam pipes
which they ran down a great distance
hey were unable to find any bottom
o the ice and finally gave up hope of
islng It as a prospect. It Is generally
jelieved that the source of the ice
nust be a subterranean lake whicfi
