ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
There was a total of $33,
249.05 in the Anchorage city
treasury at the close of busi
ness, September 2, according
to a report made to the city
council.
Farms along the road to
Lake Spenard in the Anchor
age district have greatly in
creased in number the past
year, the latest settler being
Henry Easterly.
The Northern Air Transport
Company of Nome has been
awarded a contract for one
year to carry passengers and
workmen for the A. R. C.,
and other Federal officials, in
cluding department of agri
culture, treasury, commerce,
justice and interior.
Dawson this year had five
big gold dredges operating by
the Yukon Consolidated Gold
Mining Company, organized
by A. N. C. Treadgold. The
: company has had 300 men on
its payroll this season and has
a prospective life of twenty
years more.
Mr.s V. O. Green, a native
t daughter of Alaska, born at
1 Beaver on the Yukon, visited
in Fairbanks recently, and saw
her first movie. Mrs. Green’s
home is now in Wiseman,
where her husband, V. O.
Green, is deputy marshal. She
, says Fairbanks looked like a
big city to her. She flew from
Wiseman to Fairbanks in an
airplane.
The steamship Vega, which
arrived in Seattle recently, car
ried a cargo of 49,515 seal
skins from the rookeries at
Pribilof islands. The value of
the cargo was nearly two mil
lion dollars. The skins were
salted down in barrels and
shipped to St. Louis where they
are dyed and plucked. The
skins are worth about $4 each
in their natural state.
With the passing of each
day prospects of isolating
smallpox in the upper Kusk
okwim district are becoming
brighter, reports Dr. Suther
land , local health officer at
Fairbanks. Since Dr. Suther
land treated two native boys
for smallpox, in a camp 45
miles below McGrath, and es
tablished quarantine, there has
been no other cases reported.
Pilot Vic Ross of the North
ern Air Transport flew from
Anchorage to Nome with one
passenger, in two and a half
hours. Which is making some
time, when one remembers the
weary weeks of travel it used
to take to reach Nome. With
Anchorage but two and one
half hours away the northern
city cannot call itself isolated.
Jafet Lindeberg, successful
Alaskan mine operator, and S.
Grauman of Los Angeles have
leased under bond the prop
erty of the Douglas Flat Min
ing Company, near Murphys,
Cal., and resumed its develop
ment. They are at present in
stalling a 500 gallon per min
ute capacity already in use in
the shaft. The property is
equipped with milling facilities
to handle from 240 to 350 tons
of gravel daily.
