For two years now a moose cow has
been making her winter home in the
fields adjoining the hunting lodge at
;Shilak of Henry-Lucas and George
Nelson, licensed guides and big game
hunters. So each fall the partners
lay in asupply of feed, the most of it
native, for the animal. The cow sur
prised them last fall, for she came
home with a calf. In the spring they
• both left, and now, especially Nelson,
is wondering whether they wil return,
. tor he has become very much attached
to them. He hopes that some hunter
has not taken a shot at them, for dur
ing the winter months they afford
much amusement by their antics, in
particular when the phonograph is
played. As many ti- es as he has
i tried, he has thus far wen unable to
. iay a hand on the cow, which other -
\wise is quite tame.
Clemens Gucoba, a coal miner at the
lEvan Jones mit e at Ji nesville, was
instantly killed recently when a
missed shot exploded after he had en
tered the drift. He was an experi
• enced miner, and was a newcomer to
. Alaska.
William II. -Long-ley, an oldtime
I prospector and miner of the Portland

habits and strict integrity, and was
i highly esteemed by all who knew him.
.'He was apparently between 45 and 50
years of age, and is survived by a
widow, who lives in Seattle, and a
' brother who lives in Oklahoma. Be
fore going to Hyder he lived for sev
eral, years in the McCarthy section of
