ROUNDING UP
STAGE ROBBERS
Victoria, B. C., Jan. 10.—The capture of a well-established
nest of robbers situated in the wilds of the Cariboo, British Colum
bia, promises to be the outcome of the investigation made by the
provincial police following the dramatic hold-up of the Cariboo
mail stage on November 1. Two arrests have been made. One of
the pair in custody is Mrs. Reider, proprietor of the Mountain
bouse, and it is understood that information has been secured in
criminating other occupants of the place. In fact, it is alleged
that the mystery surrounding the stage robbery and other sets of
brigandage which have occurred in late years, and which have
baffled the police will be cleared up in a thorough investigation of
the quiet little hostelry which up to the present, has escaped sus
picion.
It was apparent at the start that the looting of the stage was
carefully planned. Arrangements were made to put Indian track
ers on the trail of the highwaymen, but when the scene was exam
ined no footmarks could be found. The two men who had rifles at
the heads of the dtiver and passengers and took possession of the
registered letters containing thousands of dollars had covered
tbeir-feefc with sacks or something of a similar character white they
walked to their horses. It happened that they hadn’t been wily
enough to cover up all clues, however, and through other evidence
secured, the author or authors of the robbery have been traced to
the Mountain inn.__
O'Leary Seeking
Lost Cheyenne
Last week Tom O’Leary left for Cheyenne creek, which enters
the Yukon on the South in the vicinity of The Rapids, to prospect'
at least till the opening of the river.
It is supposed he will continue the search for “Lost Chey
enne,” which has engaged a large part of his attention for several
years
The story of Lost Cheyenne is not new. O’Leary’s nncle in
1899 found a small “blind” creek where he rocked and averaged
$10 a day for several months. He came out and joined the big
stampede to Nome, where he got in on ground that made him
wealthy. On his way Outside to settle down to a life of ease the
uncle told Tom of the creek, which he called Cheyenne, and the
two went up to look for it; but at the time the river was high and
the surroundings had an unfamiliar look—so the elder man could
not get his bearings and the place was not found. The uncle went
Oh his way and Tom has been hunting for the “Lost Cheyenne’1
ever since.
Mike Hikes to
Red Mountain
Mike Laboski, who was in Tanana for supplier a fortnight
ago, has stampeded to the vicinity of Red Mountain on a tributary
of the Melozi river. John Minook, the veteran native prospector,
formerly of Rampart, has also gone to Red Mountain. It was in
formation gained from the latter that caused Mr. Laboski to go
into the new field from the place where he was prospecting in the
Cold Mountain district. It is not definitely known here just where
Minook made the find that caused him to move over and^to put
Mike next, but it is understood to be on a creek near where uionaid
able rocking has been carried on on the Melozi bars at intervals
ranging over a number of years.
Mike has confidence enough in the country to carry in enough
provisions to last till well on into the summer, and will not come
out before that time. While in Tanana he made known to one or
tWo friends where he was going, and intimated that a prospect had
been found which looked exceedingly good._
Several Ramparters
Going to Fairbanks
Allen Jordan cot in on time with the upper Yukon mall last
Saturday afternoon. He had bdtter mushing than for several trips
past.
* : At Rampart Carrier Ed' Biederman told Mr. Jordan that the

moned to appear before the grand jury at Fairbanks to testify in
the case of the robbery of the, mail cache near Fort Hamlin. Mail
Carrier Biederman, after the next trip, will leave to testify in that
case. Postmaster M. P. Flieschman, of Rampart, has also been
sumfmoned as. a. witness before the grand jury, as has Paul Schultz
and bis partner Russell, who have a trading post in the flats.

Orphan Seal Hard to Rear
San Diego, Cal.—The United States
government is in communication with
Boatswain Thurber of the revenue
cutter Bear with a view to learning
trio method'of raising an orphan seal
php brought from the Pribilof islands.
If a method can be. found, which will
prove practical in raising young seal
it will mean the salvation of the herds
which are fast disappearing from Alas
kan’waters. All experiinents'thus far
made in raising orphan seals have
failed. It seems that the boatswain
has succeed where many scientific men
have failed, and the government is
anxious to secure the method to test it.
