of the Arctic. He comes to assist in the recovery
of his son’s bodv where it lies buried in the snows of
Siberia and to return it to his home to be laid beside
his mother. _ . ,
While Mr. Eielson feels the grief of a father in the

Mr Eielson, the father, does not stand alone m ms

down and beat in rythm with his own, while at the
same time sharing in the pride that comes to the sire
of a faithful soldier, a gentleman and one who attracted

GOOD NEWS FROM RUBY DISTRICT
The announcement during the past week that Wolf
and Beaver creeks have finally disgorged a bonanza
pay streak is received throughout the Territory with
elation, especially by those who are committed to the
idea that there are as many bonanzas in Alaska as there
ever were. It demonstrates that where consistent and
persistent prospecting is carried on the reward will
materialize.
Which brings to mind an oft-repeated observation
bv this paper that what the Territory needs is more
voting men of courage—-who can forego the bright
smiles of the feminine sex and the luxuries of modern
life and spend a little time searching for gold.
There is not a transient day laborer in the Terri
tory who could not make more with the same amount
of labor expended in digging gravels if he only had the
courage or foresight to devote time to prospecting m
spots where it is already known that gold exists. He
has the time to spare and muscle to perfor mthe labor.
As it is, practically all mining operations and pros
pecting is carried on by men far advanced in years.
Possiblv such encouraging discoveries as that on
Beaver and Wolf creeks will prompt others to make
search. And it is not necessary to seek spots where
others have not penetrated. Sometimes the greatest
fortunes are found at one’s back door.
