BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
William Wicklund, a pioneer
mining man of Poorman Creek,
in the Ruby district, is now in
the hospital at Fairbanks, with
at least a fighting chance for
life as the result of having fall
en down a 50-foot mining
shaft. He was rushed from
Ruby to Fairbanks by plane
shortly after the accident. His
condition is serious, as his
back and internal organs are
injured. The accident occurred
when a plank bridging a shaft
broke under his weight and he
was plunged to the bottom.
A report from Dutch Harbor
states that twelve hundred
blue fox pelts have been taken
off Aleutian Island farms this
year. A check just completed
! showed unquestionably this is
the high mark in the blue fox
I catch on these island reservat
ions.
Edward E. Mowrer, of the
firm of Mowrer & Co., loggers
on Skowl Arm, was almost in
stantly killed recently by an
accident in the woods. Mowrer
jumped on the butt of a big
cedar log that was being snak
ed to the beach with a donkey
engine, and was seen to fall
off. The engine was at once
stopped and one of his part
ners went back to see what
the trouble was. Mowrer was
found on the ground unconsci
ous, with severe bruises across
his head and chest. He died
while being taken to Ketchi
kan. It is believed that Mowrer
was hit by a large alder that
had been crushed down by the
log and when released flew up
with great violence, crushing
his chest and possibly fractur
ing his skull.
A report from Fairbanks is to
the effect that wage scales are
being lowered by the Fair
banks Exploration Company,
with the result that numerous
of the old timers there are pre
paring to spend the summer
prospecting rather than accept
the wage cuts. It is stated that
35 cents an hour has been
lopped off the wage of carpen
ters, bringing the pay down to
90 cents an hour, and that the
wage for common labor has
been reduced to 521/2 cents an
hour. It is also reported that a
considerable curtailment of
forces is planned by the com
pany as the result of the
change from a construction
to an operating basis.
j Fishing by airplane will be
I tried in Alaska this summer by
the Baranoff Mild Cure Co. of
I Seattle. Operating from a base
at Sitka, a plane will scan the
waters for schools of salmon,
which may easily be seen
j from a moderate height and
then report to the trolling fleet
their location and the direct
j ion in which they are travel
ing. It is believed this plan will
Home of the great PREMIER MINE, with an annual production approximating 240,
000 tons of ore and a record of $12,150.S37 paid in dividends to stockholders during
seven years of operation.
Also of the DUNWELL and RIVERSIDE MINES, both large and regular shippers of
concentrated ores, the former averaging 800 tons per month; and of the PORTER-ID A
HO MINE, a seasonal shipp er of raw ores averaging close to $300 per ton in value.
The PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT also contains literally dozens of partially de
veloped gold-silver-lead-zinc-copper properties which give every promise of becoming
paying mines with more extensive development.
The Most Remarkably Mineralized Area on the North American Continent, Present
ing Numerous Possibilities for Profitable Mining Investment.

enable the operator^. to keep
in closer touch with "the big j
runs of salmon as they come ;
in from the oceari seeking
fresh water spawning grounds.
The motorship Eider, of the
Bureau of Fisheries, with pro
visions and supplies for St.
! Paul Island, in Bering Sea, was
driven back in an attempt to
reach the island, by an ice '
blockade. She will make an- j
other attempt to reach the
island, where the residents are
in need of provisions and med
ical care.
Near Cape St. James, in wat
ers which have been gone over
with a fine-tooth comb by hali-,
buters for a good many yeais, i
a new halibut bank ha3 been
discovered by the halibut
schooner Flint. The Flint took j
40,000 pounds in one load in j
record time. On one skate of
gear 2,000 pounds were brot j
up. The halibut for the most
j part were of large size. Cape
j St. James is on Morseley Island
! one of the Queen Charlotte
| Group, on Hecate Strait.
The abandonment of further
drilling for oil in the Yakataga
field has been decided upon by
the General Petroleum Com
pany, it was made known re
cently by J. P. Samuelson, field
representative of the company.
The exploration of Yakataga
was carried on uninterrupted
ly for two seasons, beginning
about the middle of May, 1926,
and lasting until near the end
of last Novembei', the hole
reaching 2,000 feet. The cost
of operations was about $250,
000. The failure of the explor
ation to bring in a producing
well means nothing except
that there was no oil encount
ered in that particular oper
ation, Mr. Samuelson said. He
is still confident oil deposits
are present in the region. The
seepages give proof of that,
but they do not indicate the lo
cation.
The motorship Iskum, which
had been missing for more
than a month, and for which
vessels had been sent in search,
arived at Dutch Harbor recent
ly with a valuable cargo of
furs from Aleutian Island fur
farms. The ship brought a tale
of a terrible storm which lash
ed the north Pacific, during
which the engine went partial
ly out of commission, causing
her delay in returning.
Automobiles and accessories
shipped into Alaska during
! 1927, were valued at $640,848,
I according*to statistics recently
i announced by the Governor’s
I office. This is equivalent to ap
proximately $10 for each man,
woman and child of all races in
the Territory. Passenger cars
numbering 391 were worth
$373,017. Motor trucks and
busses were 86 in number and
were valued at $126,039. Ac
cessories, not including tires,
added $54,063 to the list. Tires
and casings were worth $54,
063, and tubes $9,485.
