Hayes, who is associated with the project of salvaging the| treasure ship Islander, went on the wharf of the City Float to get his| boat moored there at 11:30 last| night. In his left arm he was car- rying several packages. His right hand was in his front trousers’ pocket. “In walking close to the rail on the north side of the wharf,” ex- plained the Captain, “I noticed in the light cast by the electric lamp | on the wharf a man leaning over the rail looking at boats on the gridiron, Approached Wharf Rail | “I approached the rail to glance | down at the gridiron myself. As I came close to the man he turned | quickly and commanded me to stick up my hands. At the same time he pressed his pistol against me. Im- mediately—before I could drop my packages or take my hand from my pocket, the automobile ap- peared. It's lights disconcerted the 10bber. Startled, he turned his head | to look at the car. I struck him as| hard as I could. He ran and so did I. As he hurried away I could see him rubbing the cheek I struck and there appeared to be blood on it. The large ring on my right hand may have cut him. The driv- er of the car evidently did not no- tice the robber or me. After a mo- ment I turned back to go to the automobile, but it was being driven away. Only a Few Seconds “The entire affair occupied only a few seconds. I could not posi- tively identify the robber.” Last night's attempted robbery was the fourth reported to the police this week. Attempts were made to hold up John Dalton and Herbert J.

WERNECKE IS ANOTHER LOCAL AT WHITEHORSE MAN REPORTED TO INVESTIGATE LOST ON HUNT Excitement of Reported }Ld Klbbe Lost on Glass Gold Quartz Strike Increases WHITEHORSE, Y. T, Oct. 3.— Excitement increased over the new find of gold quartz on the moun- tain range at the headwaters of Livingstone creek in the Big Sal- mon area with the arrival here of Livingston Wernecke, general man- ager of the Treadwell Yukon silver- lead mines at Mayo. Mr. Wernecke has had charge of two planes of the company which have been distributing prospectors throughout the Yukon this season. Two of his prospectors, Fred Lund- i | wall and Fred Hoffman, have been | in the Big Salmon area near Liv- ingston creek this season. The Treadwell planes are equiped with pontoons, and find numerous land- ings in the many lakes and water- courses of the region. The Treadwell Yukon company, which is allied to the Alaska Ju- neau through inter-change of stocks and both under the Brad- ley management, has some half- dozen mines in the Mayo area and has been conducting an intensive prospecting campaign in the terri- tory the last three seasons in quest of a large body of gold bearing quartz. Mr. Wernecke was in Juneau dur- ! ing the summer doing geological work on the Alaska Juneau ex- tensions. His conclusions in respect to the new find in the Livingstone district are awaited here with much interest. Ten stampeders are on the way to the new strike with hopes of staking claims, left here in the launch Loon, which will take them up the Hootalinqua River. Close of navigation on the Yukon is now near and little time is left for travel on inland waters, but over- land trail from Whitehorse con- nects with the district in winter.

J. Thompson, Manager of the agency. Permanent jobs have been found for 18 workers and temporary work ranging fromone day to two months for 26 more.

Included in the roll are also sev- eral Indlans residing on Douglas Island. The Council's meeting last night was largely devoted to routine business. Chief of Police G. A. Getchell was authorized to add sev- eral special patrolmen to his force temporarily, dividing them between residential and business districts.

NO MORE DUCKS FOR THIS YEAR: MAYBE IN 1932 No Change in Order This Year—Hint at Relief for 1932 Season Appeals from the Alaska Game Commission to the Department of Agriculture for a modification of the Hoover duck edict, the final effort of Alaska to obtain relief from the drastic restrictions of that order, has met with the same re- jection that greeted requests from other sources, it was revealed to- day by the release of an announce- ment on the subject by local head- quarters of the Commission. Too late, is the burden of the answer of the United States Bio- logical Survey. Not this year, but maybe next, might be said to be the promise made. The Commission’s announcement, issued today by E. M. Goddard, As- sistant Executive Officer, said: “In response to an appeal of the Alaska Game Commission and the requests of the various com- munities of Alaska as presented by Delegate Wickersham, the Commis- sion has been advised that no ex- tension of the open season for the taking of migratory waterfowl will be made this year, but that should it become necessary to restrict the open season again next year, con- sideration will be given to the al- lignment of open season dates for Alaska to conform to the different conditions found in the Territory.” ‘The local Chamber of Commerce !
