ANNOUNCING
The Completion and Opening
Of The New
TEXAS CREEK
HIGHWAY
Built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of nearly a half million dollars, with the
express object of opening this new and
remarkably mineralized portion of the
Hyder, Alaska section of the Portland
Canal Mining District to development
and exploitation.
Gold, Silver, Copper and Lead Ores
abound in this wonderful mineral region and
offer excellent oppotunities for profitable mining
investment under the economical transportation
conditions provided by the splendid, new 12
mile highway traversing the Texas creek valley
from end to end.
In addition to opening this rich mineral region
to mining endeavor, the Texas Creek Highway
offers a scenic excursion of matchless mountain
scenery, and the most remarkable glacier vistas
in the world.
For information relative to the mineral resources of the
Hyder District and other data, address the
Hyder Chamber of Commerce, Inc.

ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspaper*
Of‘the Territory.
Following her conviction on a
charge of vagrancy, Mrs. Eva
Erickson was recently fined
$250 and sentenced to 25 days
in jail at Anchorage.
Despite the low ebb of the
silver-lead market, the Mayo
district during the past season
set up a new high record of
tonnage, with 10,000 tons
shipped after May.
The Cordova Chamber of
Commerce has taken a very
positive stand against the gov
ernment’s recent reservation of
land in the Nabesna district for
the use of Indians, presumably
for the purpose of encouraging
(he Indians to engage in the
fur farming business.
Fanne d by a strong wind, a
fire starting from the chimney
completely destroyed the Pres\
byterian Church at Wrangell:
the first Protestant church in
Alaska, built in 1879.
While evincing curious inter
est in foxes on a fur farm in
the Seward district, a moose
was recently killed by the own
er of the place from his cabin
door.
A counterfeit twenty-dollar
bill was passed on the agent of
the Alaska Railroad at Seward
a few days ago. It may be on
ly one of many in Alaska. The
ink on the bogus bill was
found to smear when rubbed
with gasoline.
Katherine G. Kane who lives
on Atka Island, one of the Al
eutians, claims to have the far
therest-west piano in Alaska,
and also the fartherest-west
chickens in Alaska.
Mice are numerous in the
Fairbanks district. Their pres
ence is said to forecast lots of
snow, a mild winter and plen
ty of fur-bearing animals.
Notice of strict enforcement ]

children to be indoors by 9

Bureau of Education in a com
munication to the Ketchikan

delivered by the bureau’s ves
sel, Boxer.
Just for beating his wife,
Willie Gregorloff, part Indian,
of Kodiak, was fined $100 and
sentenced to six months in jail
by the United States Commiss
ioner there.
Whether gold placer ground
near Cape Alitak and on the
Red River at the south end of
Kodiak Island is sufficiently
rich to be worked with dredg
es is the question that Fred
Henton of Kodiak hopes to an
swer. He has organized an ex
pedition to investigate the old
diggings.
