Clerf, Seattle prospector, have been found on the shore of an isolated lake, 125 miles south of Teslin, according to word received here today. Discovery of the men was made by V. J. Joeress, who had joined an air search started out at Vancouver, B. C several days ago when the disappearance of the men was made known. Joeress flew over their camp but was unable to land, due to the smallness of the lake, he said. Both were apparently uninjured and in "good spirits." It was believed that Burke made a forced landing while en-route from Lake Atlin, on the British Columbia Yukon border, to Vancouver. Joeress reported that Burke's plane did not appear to be badly damaged. An attempt was being made today by Joeress and junketeers to carry food to Burke and Clerf, had to assist them in leaving the' isolated spot.; The lake on which Burke landed with his seaplane is about 500 feet long and 125 feet wide, Joeress reported.
