ANDREAFSKI STRIKE MAY BE LOSI PIIKA BAR’ Prospectors Report Steady Work Going on in New Diggings on the Lower Yukon Aiver Ruby, Alaska, Jan. 14.—Pros- pectors mushing up river from the recentiy discovered Marshall Gily diggimgs,, near Andreatiski, on the Lower Yukon, report that prospecting is being carried on steadily, but that nothing extra- ordinary has been found up to this time. ‘Lhe diggings are re- motely situated for winter travel, a mush of nearly 200 miles being necessary to get haitag, the army telegraph line. Those acquainted with the his- tory of the lower river diggings are of the belief that the late dis- covery represents the lost Pilka bar, mentioned in recent years in connection wilh downriver imin- ing history. It is said that in 1905 a half-breed Russian nam- ed Pitka appeared in St. Michael! with a sackful of coarse gold. He refused to tell where he found it, but returned each summer to the scene of his discovery and came back with the cold weather, al- ways bearing his pokeful of dust and nuggets. He did intimate that he obtained the gold from bar diggings, and thus it was that the so-called Pitka bar be- came famous. Miners and prospectors sought to locate the gold-yielding bar. A man named LEnglestad became friendly with Pitka and the mys- terious prospector agreed to take him to the bar but before they reached their destination Pitka was taken ill and died. With him went the secret of the Pitka bar. to on Noted Scientist Killed Charles Budd Robinson of Pic- tou, one of the world's greatest botanists, has been killed by na- tives of Amboya Island, Malay Archipeligo. Mr. Robinson was} a graduate of Dalhousie in 1892, | and was well known in Kentville and Pictou in connection with his academical duties. His bent as a naturalist was strong, which led him to. take botanical course at Cambridge University. For six years he took up work at the Bronx Museum in New York, subsequent to which he received an appointment under the United States Government to classify he botany of the Philippine Islands. a As a large taxpayer, McCly- mont will advocate sane spending methods in city affairs.
