VICTORIA,

2.A
thrilling
race
by
airplane
is
being
staged
by,
prospectors
into
northern
British
Columbia
back
of
the
Alaskan
panhandle.
Dispatches
from
Telegraph
Creek
today
announced
that
W.
R.
George
had
reached
there
by
airplane
from
Skagway
and
White
Horse
and
thus
jumped
into
the
lead
over
a
group
of
prospectors
rushing
into
the
area
by
way
of
Edmonton
with
a'fleet
of
three
planes
of
the
iNorthern
Aerial
Mineral
Exploration
Company.
Both
expeditions
will
be
weeks
ahead
of
thousands
of
prospectors
expected
to
invade
the
northern
area
with
the
spring
opening.
The
prospectors
are
facing
danger
not
only
from
cold,
but
from
Nahanni
Indians,
who
are
reported
to
have
threatened
death
to
white
men
attempting
to
enter
their
country.
Mineral

it
is
said,
of
