K. Stewart, leader, and a few student hunters, who will be train- ed there by him, Mr. Stewart said today. They will leave for that district as soon as Mr. Stewart has completed some work in the Haines and Petersburg vicinities. Many Coyotes The Nabezna section has more coyotes than moose areas and is an important big game section, where sheep, moose, woodland caribou and breeding most rapidly and spreading to other parts of the Territory, he said. When the hunters are well train- ed, they will, in turn, give instruc- tions in predatory animal trapping methods to private trappers with whom they come in contact. After ups he started for Wrangell he met John Simpson of Telegraph Creek who told him that a couple of Indians had discovered gold on anj unnamed stream that empties lntol the Little Iskut. The Indians were| traveling the trail that runs along| the banks of the stream when they | came to a place where there had | been a fresh slide of gravel. It| was here than they found gold. Two | ounces were taken to Telegraph Creek where about a dozen Indians formed a little stampede party and left for the scene of the slide for| the purpose of staking the ground in that vicinity.

SHOOT YESTERDAY DRAWS FEW; SKEET SHOOT NEXT WEEK It takes fine weather to draw a crowd to the traps, but weather too fine also takes the crowd some- times somewhere else. That ap- parently was the case yesterday. Few guns showed up for the Sun- day shoot, but those who attended doubly enjoyed the sport. Morris was high gun with a per- fect string of 25 broken clay tar- gets. The other shooters came in with the following scores: Trues- dell 22, McNaughton 22, Benjamin 21, Carter 18, Cann 15, Biggs 14, Wassun 13 and Barmus 11. Mr. Morris, Secretary of the Club, was unable to get the skeet gear ready for yesterday's shoot but promises the fans that all will be in readiness for next Sunday. The skeet traps will be installed on the point off Salmon Creek bar opposite the Morris ranch. The local shotgun artists are keenly looking forward to trying their aim at targets from the skeet gear. With only 45 perfects made in the country when shooting skeet style since the innovation of that method of trap shooting, local guns “are preparing for some stiff work in an effort to hang up something in the way of a score. e BIRCH TREES See Juneau Florists. adv.

About a dozen members assembled at 6 o'clock on the Government Dock, and with the inspiration of the white-capped mountains, blue water and glori- ous sunlight, amid such beautiful surroundings as can be found only on a May morning and only in Alaska, they held a service of prayer and song. After this they went to the church dining room where the breakfast was served. such an unusually enjoyable meet- ing probably will be repeated on other mornings during the sum- mer. e —— GOLD STRIKE REPORTED 45 MILES SOUTH OF TELEGRAPH CREEK (Wrangell Sentinel) Walter Julian who arrived in Wrangell this week from his trap lines up the Stikine brought news of a reported gold strike 45 miles south of Telegraph Creek.

FORESTER PLANS ALASKA TRIP SHORTLY Maj. R. Y. Stuart, Chief Forester, Will Visit North This Summer Maj. R. Y. Stuart, Chief Forester, U. 8. Forest Service, will spend sev- eral weeks in the Territory this summer, according to word receiv- ed by Charles H. Flory, Alaska Commissioner for the Department of Agriculture. No definite date has been fixed for his departure from Seattle. Maj. Stuart’s itinerary, Mr. Flory said, while not completely arranged, will include all of the National Forest districts and other parts of the Territory and probably will take him as far as Fairbanks. He will spend sometime at local head- quarters of the Forest Service and is expected to make some trips in the field, observing local forest growths and conditions affecting the timber industry here. This will be Maj. Stuart's first trip to the Territory. He has taken an active interest in the Forest Service policies affecting the re- sources administered by it locally and is making the trip mainly to get first hand information on these and kindred matters. - i FURS We are now ready to alter or make up your furs.
