When questioned concern
ing the question of utiliz
ing local labor, he admitted
to having been approached
on the subject while in
Nome, saying to the Nug
get representative, “It ap
pears at this time that with
the exception of one or two
cases of highly skilled fore
men, all of the labor requir
ed can be obtained here,
and that I expect to use the
same to the best advan

Mr. Peterman expects to
leave with Pilot Glass to
morrow morning if weather

from whence he will jour

Remarking on other sec

the past year,Mr Peterman
declared that at present
there is very little building
under way in the interior
of the territory, and only
minor jobs going on in
southeastern Alaska. How

Martin Strand Died
Martin Strand, aged 69,
passed away a few minutes
past noon Sunday, Feb. 9,
following an illness lasting
two months. He was taken
to the local hospital about
4 or five days ago where
he finally succumbed.
His partner, Gus Head, is
at their quartz mine which
is over the divide from the
U. S. Roadhouse. Mr. Head
has been notified of the
death of his partner and is
expected to arrive here to
morrow, after which fun
eral arrangements will be
made.
The passing of Martin
Strand will be keenly felt,
not only by his partner and
close friends, but this sec
tion loses one of its most
ardent miners and prospec
tors. Messrs. Strand and
Head have labored for the
past 20 years in developing
a quartz mine back of the
town of Nome, and every
dollar he has earned work
ing for wages during the
summer months, has gone
into this prospect, which is
now in a position where
engineers may be able to
enter the shafts and tun
nels and make a survey
and estimate as to the fu
ture mining of the proper
ty on a large scale. It is!
regrettable indeed that af
ter so many years of hard
[labor, that he will not be
!here to see his mine open
'ed up and become a pro
! ducer.
