WRITTEN BOOK OF HIS TRAVELS.

Addison M. Powell of California, a school-mate of boyhood days and life long friend of Ellis Jones, was visiting the latter at his home in Remington a couple of days last week. Mr. Powell left here 32 years ago, and since then the friends have kept up a continual correspondence. Mr. Powell has spent most of his time the past five years in Alaska, seeking for some of the hidden wealth that lies buried in that country. He is nowin New York negotiating with a publishing company for the publication of a book he has written of his travels in that far away clime, entitled, “Five Years In and Oat the Alaskan Ranges.” He is anxious to get back to Alaska before the heavy snows drive all white men out of the interior. He has become thoroughly acquainted with a great deal of that country, having explored the Copper and Tanana rivers in 1898, and acted as scont for Captain Abercrombie in 1899, since then spending the summers prospecting in the interior, and winters in Valdis Alaska.
