have and those who have not,
and the lucky or rich ones are
taking advantage of their greater
fortune to secure all the whale
bone which the poorer Eskimos
cannot afford to hold. In this way
some have acquired a consider
able amount for a mere song, and
if the bone should rise in prices
they will be miniature million
aires.
Capt. Madson also arrived from
a long trading trip to North Cape,
Siberia's most northerly point.
His is tin; first craft which has
been there in n long time, and he
deserves the big cargo of furs,
bone and viory which he brought
down with him. The Hattie B.
was there at the same time, and
they passed other steamers while
anchored there. These were the
ice breaker Kit now a whaler and
two Russian government ice
breakers of heavy tonnage on an
expedition to the Lena river.
These vessels are well adapted to
the purpose and although the ice
fields were heavy it made no ap
preciable difference to them.
After parting from East Cape
going north, Madson with his
schooner Wasp encountered very
heavy ice, and while pressing for
ward he punched a hole in Hie
schooner. It was a similar ram
ming which caused the Yorkey |<>
sink on her first I rip Ibis year,
but such a fale did not overtake
the Wasp as she was promptly
handled, and beyond a welling
to a couple of boxes of bread and
bags of sugar, owing In the fact
that some, tents and canvas were
close by the hole, the water en
tered very slowly, and the damage
was repaired temporarily before
much harm was done.
Hut here is the real story nT the
[trip. On the trip last year the
Wasp took up a Russian to Van
Carman- river and he took a pan
and went up prospecting. He nev
er told whether he found anything
or not when he returned, but this
year he sought Madson out and
went up with an outfit. This in
cluded hose, canvas, sluice boxes,
riffles and the other necessary
tools for mining.
On this trip Madson learned
'from natives that Carman is do
ing a "great deal of work," and
'him get plenty yellow sand"—"all
bam'e muotr-afMaM-pfttiff/' Wfceth*
or th<*y atfe e*a#getatTig 'or1 not
it is of course impossible to 9ay,
althotfgtt the natives pay but lit
tle attention to gold dust, and do
not ptetend to understand the op
erating of the Russian on Van
Carm'fth river. He thinks therefore
that the native^ are correct, and
that tft® Russian has struck an
other'Klondike. Ilis return will
be watched for carefully, and if
his find is correct it will not un
Jiekly cause another stampede
such as occurred under the aegis
of tlio Northeastern Siberia Co.
to Anadir bay, and which turned
out so disastrously for nearly all
concerned, in spite of the elegant
banquet given to and the local
eloquence wasted on the governor
by Nome concessionaries. Mad
ison encountered little ice on the
[return trip.
Col. B. F. Millard left for Port

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
"Facts Are bacts."
IL L- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic, j
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use I
it a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right. |
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality. ;
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ily of Valdez should patronize home products.
