victims.

gold on thp beach there. Tfp engaged

looking after some mining property
In which he is interested and was
caughr in the storm while returning
to town- He had been in the river,
as his clothing was frozen when the
body was found.

jof Fairbanks, will appear on the;
vaudeville stages throughout the1
country in an Alaskan sketch. With
him Mr. Huckins will take a full
blooded malamute dog, a real beauty, j
The act will he booked over the,
Class A circuits. It Is fitting that
these two men, who worked on the
first survey of the government rail
road in the interior, and who mush
ed the trails of this country before
the railroad was thought of should
introduce to the theatre going public
on the .outside an Alaskan act.
The actors will feature Boh Craw
i ford's Alaskan song. “My Northland."
I Both of them are of the opinion that
the song -will be the great success
of the act, ns the tune is a catchy
one and the words are easy to learn.
The young Fairbanksan has gladly
consented to let the actors use his
song.
