“CHARGING BUFFALO” NOW A
YANK.
“Charging Buffalo” or John Levi,
full-blooded Arapahoe Indian and
Haskell Institute student, who has
been signed by the Yankees as an
outfielder for next season. John can
run, hit any kind of pitching and is !
a brainy player. He was to sign with j
the Yanks last year, but preferred
to try out for the Olympics. Un
luckily he sprained his leg and had
to stay out Jim Thorpe, great Indian
graduate and a gridiron star of note,
says there is none better than Levi.
The latter, in the midst of an excit
ing game last season, threw a 75
yard forward pass, and his other
heaves were almost that distance.
KOYUKUK ACTIVE,
REPORTS MINER
The Koyukuk district, one of the
oldest placer mining camps in the
Interior, and the “Farthest North’
producer, is experiencing ono of
the most active seasons in its his
tory according to F. J. Milioc, K j'
ukuk cju-iiMor formerly of thi, ci’.v
win ar.-i*. ed in F.io ean^s a!‘. *■ tw”
weeks on the trail from Wiseman.
—Nolan, Smith and Hammond Riv
ers are scenes of unusual activity
this winter, he says, while many out
fits are engaged on the several other
creeks of the district. Mr. Miller
is engaged on Quail, but was forced
to abandon his winter work, owing
to health, and intends ,to remain in
Fairbanks until April, returning just
before the breakup. The trip out was
a hard one owing to prevailing wind
storms and extreme cold weathr.
The need for adequate transpor
tation facilities, especially to roads
and trails, is stressed. There are
virtually no trails in the district,
it is pointed out, and as a conse
quence freight rates and the landed
cost of staples are nearly -prohib
itive. The freight rate from Wise
man to Hammond River or Nolan,
each six miles distant from Wise
man, is 6 cents a pound, or 1 cent
a pound per mile. Prices at Wise
man this winter are quoted as fol
lows: Sugar $28; flour, $22; eggs,
$33; potatoes, $33; milk, $24; ba
con 78c. Ham cannot be procured.
All perishables were frozen in at
Alatna last fall, Mr. Miller reports,
with the result that only occasional
small quantities, transported by dog
team, are released, and are sold in
frozen condition.
EIGHT-LEGGED DEER SHOT;
NECK LIKE UNIVERSAL JOINT
NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 18.—A
young deer, equipped with eight legs,
by means of which it could propel
itself both forward and backward
with equal skill, has been shot by
hunters near Bathurst. What is yet
more remarkable the animal has a
head which, from all appearances,
is attached to its body with a univer
sal point. It can face in either
direction its legs should carry it.
The octopedic wonder was shot
by Percy Rennie and Michael Casey
and is regarded as one of the great
est freaks of the North woods. The
carcass was shipped to a taxidermist
to be mounted and will be pre
served as New Brunswick’s most un
usual game freak.

were awash.
