BERNARD SAYS NO PAY STRUCK YET IN LIARD Plane Flying In and Out and Scurvy Is Staked for 10 Miles (Continued from pPage One) four Indians. “The two white whom is named Mr. Muirhead, whose brother was in Juneau a few weeks ago with the Mitchell party, returned to Carcross last Saturday,” said Mr. Bernard $2 in Two Hours “They declared they had been to Scurvy Creek, a tributary of the Liard River; that they whip- sawed enough lumber for one sluice hox; that the Indians had shoveled gravel found loose on the rimrock of Scurvy for two hours into the sluice box, and that the coarse gold recovery amounted to $2, no attention having been paid to fine gold “The Indians were left at Scurvy Creek to do further prospecting, and will be serviced with airplanes by the Mitchell party. One of the Indians is named Dawson Charlie and is said to be the discoveger of Scurvy Creek and to have had placer mining experience in the Klondike. Two of the other three Indians are declared to be related to the Indian wife of George Car- mack, discoverer of the Klondike. Pontoon Is Punctured “In taking off from Carcross with the Muirhead party the Junker plane punctured one of its pon- toons. In the Liard district, it alighted on Stone Ax Lake, three miles from Scurvy Creek, which is 180 miles from Carcross. Because of the punctured pontoon, great difficulty was experienced in tak- | ing off from Stone Ax Lake to re- | turn to Carcross. Seventy-five gal- lons of gasoline had to be ]etu-‘ soned to get into the air.
