Krutzof island, Ernest Walker, of the
U. 3. Biological Survey, stated tbrt
lack of funds prevented wardens being

be forced to undergo many hardships.
They will, then leave for the unex

where the organizer of the party has
discovered gold, rich, red, auriferous
metal which covers the bottom of the
lakes in the vicinity. It sounds like
the famous expedition of La Nintia,
which outfitted to go up the Copper
river, where the natires used solid gold
for banglesjsud everything.
