Duncan MacDonald of Nome, who
has spent the greater part of the past
four years in the Kuskokwim coun
try, says in his opinion that section
offers a favorable field for the opera
tion of prospectors. He thinks that
next year the overflow population of
the Tanana country will go to the
Kuskokwim and feels confident that
pay creeks will be found when more
exploration work shall have been done
It is a section that has been over
looked in the past, and composes an
immense portion of territory practical
ly unexplored.

The Burnside has spliced the Sitka
Valdez cable. The leak was discov
ered a short distance from Sitka and
it was discovered to be.the work of a
whale. The dead body of which was
found entangled in the wires with
which he had had a tremendous en
counter before succumbing to death.
The cable was in the whale’s mouth
and wrapped around its lower jaw.
It was not broken, but the insulation
was damaged to such an extent that
| it leaked.
