BRIEF TUNS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
■ PRESS OF ALASKA
Daniel F. Saunders, pioneer
hotel man of Dawson, and
manager of the Rochester
Hotel at the time of his death,
passed away recently at Daw
son, at the age of 51.
A new aviation field will be
built on Kenai Peninsula, at
once, according to M. C. Ed
munds, chief of the southwest
district of the A. R. C..
The first shipment of coal
from the mine of the Admiral
ty Island Coal Company, con
sisting of 400 sacks, was taken
to Juneau recently.
Wjlliam Carson and John
Hartebroad were badly burn
ed about the face, head and
hands at Cordova recently,
when gasoline exploded on
their gas boat.
Fighting a blaze with nothing
but a wet blanket, Ellis May
Deter, teacher in the Eskimo
village of Juithluk, saved the
village recently. Miss Deter
was alone, all the natives hav
ing gone to trap beaver, when
a tundra fire threatened the
22 native cabins. With flames
at the sides of the cabins, Miss
Deter kept the fire under con
trol until she became exhaust
ed. Natives, arriving oppor
tunely, extinguished the blaze.
“Whiskey Jack” Burchard,
who was recently sentenced
at Tanana to imprisonment
for one year after conviction
of selling liquor to Indians,
now faces a charge of man
slaughter, as a result of the
death a short time ago, of his
14-year-old daughter, Mabel.
Following the girl’s death an
investigation was made by
federal authorities and it is
charged that Mabel’s father
beat her severely and drove
her out on a trap line. • She
traveled six miles and col
lapsed. While being taken- to
the hospital the girl suffered
from hemorrhages, which con
tinued until her death. The
girl’s body was found to be se
verely bruised. At the coron
er’s inquest Dr .White testified
that the girl died from loss of
blood induced, at least partly,
by ill treatment received from
her father. The jury returned
a verdict to the effect that
they believed from the evi
dence presented that Burch
ard inflicted bruises on his
daughter which caused hemor
rhages and contributed to her
death.”
Jack Koby, hunter and guide,
brought to the Teritorial Mu
seum at Juneau recently a rel
ic of a prehistoric race in the
form of a stone maul which is
carved to represent the head
of a bear, the form being al
most perfect regardless of the
ages which have circled away
since it was fashioned. The
relic was picked up by Koby
about 70 miles up the Taku
River, near the mouth of the

Hyder, Alaska
Inklin River, on the Canadian
side of the international
boundary.
The Department of the Inter
ior has announced that Henry
P. Karstens, superintendent of
Mt. McKinley National Park,
will attempt the ascent of
Mount McKinley during the
coming summer, in the inter
est of science. The climb will
be made to ascertain whether
or not the tallest peak on the
North American continent is
the coldest spot on earth.
When Karstens previously
climbed the mountain in 1913,
in- company with the late
Archdeacon Stuck, he left a
recording thermometer on the
peak and he will endeavor to
recover the instrument when
he scales the mountain again
this year. The thermometer
should show the lowest tem
perature at that point since
1913.
Robt. L. Hatcher, who with
P. J. Nickoloff, recently pur
chased the Big Six property in
the Nuka Bay district, has an
nounced his intention of plac
ing a mill on the property
this season.
The Big Six is said to show
an outcrop of free milling gold
ore extending 1500 feet over
the top and down the sides of
a mountain and ranging from
four to five feet in width on
the surface. The character of
the outcrop indicates a depth
of at least 1,000 feet. Values
ranging from $200 to $400 per
ton are said to have been
found, but the purchasers say
they will be well satisfied if
the ore averages $25 per ton.
The property is located about
1*4 miles from tidewater and
2 miles from the head of Nuka
Bay.
E. J. Merwin, who resides on
Horse Island ,off the upper
end of Douglas Island, was
arrested recently at his home,
where a complete moonshine
outfit, consisting of a 25-gal
lon still, 16 gallons of moon
shine and 200 gallons of mash
was captured. Merwin is fac
ing charges of possessing and
manufacturing whiskey and of
having in his possession ma
terials designed for the manu
facture of intoxicants. As half
a. deer was found in Merwin’s
possession, it is understood
that he will also be charged
with violation of the game
laws.
