- ALASKA. NOTES
A. H. Sonstliagen, a herring
fleet operator, of Douglas,
Alaska, expressed the view
that the fish in Alaskan wat
ers cannot find their way
i home because the Japanese
| current has strayed from its
course, taking its warmth to
j new waters and forcing the
1 fish to find new havens. Sons
i thagen says the habits of the
: fish changed with the climate,
; and their habits have also
| changed since the Japanese
earthquake. He claims further
j that the direction of the Japa
j nese current has changed since
| the earthquake.
i Cordova reports announce the
1 consolidation of the Cliff and
i Granite gold mines near Val
dez under the direction of
! Louis A. Levensaler, noted min
ing man and prominent in the
j Guggenheim organization. The
consolidation, however, is said
to be backed by San Diego
capital. Operations will com
mence immediately and 75
men will be employed. The in
stallation of water power is
planned and is expected to cut j
in half the costs of production, j
The Clff mine, which has pro
duced over a million dollars, |
has been idle for the past 20 !
years.

The Hirst-Chichagoff Gold
Mining Company, operating on
Chichagoff Island, has made a
big strike in the No. 3 tunnel,
according to reliable advices. ■
At a distance of 2,000 feet a
4-foot ore shoot was encount- |
ered which carries values av
eraging $75 per ton. Product
ion from the mine last year
amounted to $200,000. Thru- ,
out the season the company
has been shipping from ten to i
fifteen tons of concentrates to
the Tacoma ■ smelter each
month. The latest strike is im
portant, npt only because -of
the value of the ore in the
shoot, but also because it
shows that the vein goes to
considerable depth. Control
ef the Hirst-Chichagoff Gold

hands of several wealthy mem
bers of the Chinese colony in

Alex. Liska a noted northern
guide and mountain climber,
I plans to leave Anchorage in
March with a small party to
! climb Mt. McKinley. One of
! the objects of Liska’s attempt
is to solve the mystery of the
i peculiar mist or cloud effect
i which recently gave rise to
reports that the mountain was
erupting. He plans to a3cejid to
the old crater 12,000 feet up
to determine the cause of the
phenomena. Liska climbed 12,
000 feet via the northeast side
of the mountain in 1918 but
was blocked by precipices of
| snow and ice, so he will go to
; Kochitna and Muddy River
and try the route taken by
Hudson and Stuck. Liska will
try to gain the summit alone
if his party turns back.

d ivers at Second and Yesler

sued, he drew a 25 calibre
automatic. Wilson, his pistol
and seven shells were taken to
jail.

Secretary of the Interior
Work has announced the con
solidation of the Seattle offices
of the Alaska Railroad and
Bureau of Education, engaged
in the education of the native
population of Alaska. In an
nouncing the consolidation,
Secretary Work promised a
