This was the bulwark of the Army ?
Pullen, a cadet from far off Alaska
He was the one man who could be

possible, so there was no stirpri
when it was seen that the attack by
Dean for those last few feet was aim
at the station over which he stood
guard.

waves break against a rock bound
coast .and it seemed as though the
Navy would beat off the itoundlng
heavies. Finally, however, one melee
of taugled bodies was pried apart,
and the Navy lay engulfed beneath
the eddying flood. The ball had
gone only an Inch over the line right
through Captain Northcroft, where
Pullen had tossed hint aside with his
almost superhuman power. Greble

t S. BROWN OR CHISEL'S CU1I
Thei^ was paid this morning by R.
E. Turner to Joseph Chisel 120,000,
being the balance due ot the pur
chase price ot two claims at Rainy
Hollow, making part of the group
which lias long been worked by the
Alaska Iron company of which Mr.
Turner Is superintendent or resident
.nauiger.
The claims are the discovery claim
of the district and Its next neighbor,
Montana and Arizona, by name. |
Joseph Chisel was the discoverer of
the district. He had been prospect
ing In the country for four years go
ing in each season. He located the
property in 1898. The Alaska Iron
company, of which Captain Brown Is
the head, took the property over
about the 8th of August, 1907, on a
bond, and has been actively engaged
In development work ever since.
They have today a tunnel 190 fe?t
into the bill and are in ore running
to high values in both copper and
ailver sufficient to warrant them In
making the final payment of the pur
chase ? 15,000 having been paid pre
viously. This 1* the largest cash
sum ever paid for mining property
In thia section and the deal therefore
Is full of meaning to the district.
It does not need to be said that
when, after working ground for eigh
teen months, men pay down a cash
sum of 120,000 that they KNOW the
ore Is in the ground. The money
came by the Humboldt from the
eastern offices of the company. The
completion of this deal will give a
strong and welcome lmpulso to min
ing throughout the district There
Is ^plenty more of the same charac
ter of ground, as everybody here
abouts knows, but of which it needs
little demonstrations like this to con
vince distant capital.
