Church Minstrel
Show Set Oct. 6th
An evening of fun and good
fellowship is in store , for those
who attend the social evening at
the Federated Church Wednes
day night, Oct. 6, at 8 p.m.
The program will be sponsor
ed by the drama club of the
church, and will consist of a min
strel show entitled ‘Swanee Riv
ex Minstrels”.
At any rate it will be fun to
try and to listen to their music
and wisecracks. There are eight
een in the cast. Refreshments
will be served.
There will be an admission
charge of thirty-five cents for
children, and fifty cents for ad
ults. The proceeds from the en
tertanment will go to the treas
ury of the drama club and be
used to finance the other produc
tions planned for the coming
season, and for the purchase of
additional stage equipment. The
plays turned out by the club last
year, we believe, prove that this
is a worthy undertaking.
Tickets are on sale now, and
may be had at the parsonage, or
from various children. Or they
tr.ay be obtained at the door.
Only two hundred, will be sold
however, as the capacity of the
house is limited.
Mrs, G. E. Krause of Juneau,
Alaska, and her son, Irving, are
scheduled to arrive in Washing
ton. Irving has received an ap
pointment to the United States
Military Academy at West Point,
and it is likely that he will enter
a preparatory school in Washing
ton for the coming year.

RELIABLE REPORTS COLD
PRODUCTION PENINSULA
BE ONE-THIRD MORE 1936
Reliable sources reported that
previous to the sailing of the S.S.
Baranof from Nome for Seattle,
that there was on hand in Nome
at that time, more than one-half
million dollars more gold bullion
than the entire amount shipped
out for last season.
Such a report indicates defin
itely the surprising increase in
development and mining for this
season in 1937.
The general prediction for the
summer was that the Seward
Peninsula section would produce
more gold than in 1936.
The above report, and it bears
considerable weight, comes as a
definite prediction and outlook
for the complete mining season—
that Seward Peninsula will have
increased its production at least
one-third more than in 1936.
Doubting Thomases take notice
—Nome and the Seward Penin
sula as a whole—continues to in
crease in development and pro
duction at more than the usual
rate, as its mining camps are en
larged. new machinery, modem
methods are employed in discov
ering and mining the valuable
districts scattered throughout the
territory, and the new price of
gold, is paid for the returns.
SPEAR POINTS
More than a mile and a hall
of fire hose is carried on a new
London fire truck constructed to
serve districts where there art
few hydrants.
An electrically operated ma
chine has been invented to re
cord on wax cylinders all radio
conversations between air field
dispart hers and pilots of planes
in flight.
Forty eight percent of the cof
fee exported from Guatemala last
year went to the United States,
a greater percentage than ever
before.
A new two-element electric
stove that can be used as a toast
er as well as with cooking uten
sils folds compactly for carrying
or storage.

Alaska Sportsman
For October Is
Interesting
—
“Fishing Without A Hook" is
the intriguing title of a featured
articie in the October number of
The Alaska Sportsman, just out.
Written by E. L. Keithahn, a
teacher in the Office of Indian
Affairs schools of Alaska for
many years, now of Wrangell.
The article says:
“The man who angles for a big
catch will automatically restrict
himself to a relatively small ar
ea. He soon finds the best stream
or the best lake in the district
land there he will spend his holi-.
day. But the ‘fisher without a
I hook’ is free to explore a new
stream every trip. . .
“From Dixon Entrance on the
South to the Arctic ice pack;
from the remote Interior to the
tip of the Aleutians, there is al
ways an open season and plenty
of game for those who go ’fish
ing without a hook.’ ’’
“Off for Alaska" is the title
of the first of a series of letters
written by Mrs. Rose Gunn, re
lating the experiences of herself
and her husband in coming to A1
aska to better themselves after
having been knocked around in
the States and badly treated by
the depression.
“White Sentinels of Mount Re
gal" is a story of a goat hunt
| rear Kennecott. by Alfonse Nick
olaus; “Eskimos Hunt Whales!
Ceremoniously” is a story of bow j
head whaling by Eskimos at St.
Lawrence Island, written by N.
Leighton Smith. The last install
ment of "Down Goes the Wind
sor” by Joseph Lester, is also
contained in the issue.
Twenty photographs are repro
duced in the magazine. It also
contains a full page of Ketchikan
to Barrow items and the other
usual departments.

In marking the boundaries of

placed at or near the place of
discovery. End stakes should be'
placed in the middle of the vein
and at the four corners of the
claim. The three end stakes
should be in line and the end lin
es should be parallel to each oth
er. 1500 feet may be located al- ,
ong the course of the vein and
100 feet on each side of the cen
ierline thereof.
The same rule which applies
:o the recording of and annual
abor on, placer claims, applies
.0 lode claims. The law allow-1
ng resumption of labor before
July 1st. does NOT now apply to
■ither placer or lode locations in
