pany operations in the Cold
Bay oil fields, who recently
arrived in Anchorage, states
that drilling is still under way
in the two wells, and that Well
No. 1 is down 3,700 feet with
the formation about the same
as it was at 2,000 feet. On the
McNally claim, where they re
cently commenced drilling
they are down sixty feet.
Recent advices from Dawson
stated that influenza is sweep
ing up the Yukon Valley.
Whole families have been
stricken in Dawson and the
hospital is filled to capacity
with sufferers, many of the
patients being very sick. Two
deaths are reported among
the Indians at Selkirk. A nurse
was dispatched from Dawson
to take charge of the situation
there. It is said one huudred s
of the Indians are afflicted
with the disease. Many cases:
of flu are also reported at j
Circle, old-time settlement 300 ;
miles down the river from i
Dawson, and a doctor has
gone to render aid.
The Alaska Juneau gold
mine, the largest operating
mining property in the Terri
tory, which has been making
a heroic struggle to get on a
paying basis, showed an earn
ing last month of $20,100,
which is regarded as indicat
fngr that the company has ov
ercome the obstacles which
have handicapped operations
in the past and increased the
production to the point where
profits will show continuously
henceforth. There was a de
ficit of $8,500 in June, 1924.
Prom Seattle to Sejward in
30 hours in an airship is a
certainty, according to O. A.
Campbell, assistant manager
of the Alaska and Northwest
Dirigible Company, who re
cently arrived in Seward. “It
is only a matter of a short
time when the above state- i
ment will be in effect and the
residents of Alaska will soon
be making trips to the States
via this air line which, after
five years of effort, will un
doubtedly come to a success
ful conclusion this summer.”
Captain Fred Peterson, of Se
attle, who is operating the
North Pacific Sea Products
Company’s whaler from Aku
tan island, was recently rush
ed to Unalaska for treatment
of a badly lacerated arm,
which was injured when a
whaling bomb passed through
a whale and exploded on the
outside of the body close to
Peterson. The explosion tore
the unfortunate man’s cloth
ing into shreds and injured
his arm so severely that it may
be necessary to amputate it.
Dick Campbell, Chickaloon
fur farmer is raising mink
and marten on his ranch and
declares it is an exploded idea
that marten are difficult to
raise. All that is necessary for

en, he says, is proper attention
and the right kind of food, and
they are not big eaters, re-1
quiring less than mink. Mr.
Campbell has five marten on
his ranch at present and says
they are as playful as kittens.
Ho also has 10 mink 3 bucks
and 7 females and they are all
getting along nicely. Two of
the female minks have six
pups each, but Mr. Campbell j
does not know how big an in
crease there is from the others
as they are not yet out of the
dens.
Development work on the
360-foot level of the Rose vein
on the Little Giant Mine, on
Mineral Creek, near Valdez
ha's opened up extremely rich
gold bearing ore. Charles
Titus, mining engineer, states
that the ore is 90 per cent free
milling, and is very similar in j
character to the rich ore min
ed at the Cliff Mine during its 1
wonderful production period.
The ore on the surface of the
Rose .vein gave an average
value of $50 per ton, and from
the richer places shipments ol
several tons of ore were made
which gave mill returns ol
over $400 per ton recovery. |
The vein on the lower level
varies fi'om three to four feel
in width, with the high grade
paystreak averaging about
eighteen inches in width. The
property, under present limit |
ed development shows foui ,
well defined ore bodies, each
with possibilities of making a
mine in itself. ,
Orders were recently issued
for a coast guard cutter t<. |
proceed to the Bristol Bay rc
gion with physicians and ,
medicines to combat an epi- !
demic of influenza among thi (
natives of that district. Tht j
epidemic is said to be spread- ;
ing rapidly and many of the
natives have already succumb
ed to the disease.
Anchoi-age strawberries will
be on the Seattle market this
fall, according to plans formu
lated by the Brown & Hawk j
ins Corporation, which has j
placed an order for berrj j
boxes and crates, with the in- |
tention of making a trial ship
ment to the States. “It ma>
sound like carrying coals tc
Newcastle,” said Mr. Brown
“but we must remember that
the berry season is over in the
States at the time our seasoi
commences. Besides that we
are confident that Alaskan
•awherries can compare fav
."hly with those grown any
where else, and we also count
on the publicity value of their
Alaska origin.” Mr. Brown
said “the biggest question is
whether or not the berries
Tll stand shipment, and this
an only be found out by ex
periment.”
; Alaska Indians, in some in
lances, still have two wives,
in cider one to do the work
and a younger one to bear
hildren, according to a state
ment given the New York
Times on June 7 by Miss Marie
JE Falldine, of Juneau, who is
! 'n the east attending a child
welfare conference. She is a
Red Cross public health nurse
■mgaged in work in Southeast
ern Alaska. “The practice of
having two wives is no longei
common,’’ said Miss Falldine !
“but it is an old established
custom and i3 done under cov
er. The residual effects an
seen in the fact that the Alas
kan native usually marries i
woman older than himself.”
The Valdez Transfer Com
pany brought in a heavy wag
on which had been used last
fall and left naer Snowslide in
the canyon. During the winter
porcupines discovered the
wagon, and evidently believed
it had been left there for the
purpose of furnishing them
with winter rations, for they
proceeded to feast on the
spoke3 and fel!oe3 until somj
of them were almost entirely
consumed.
George C. Hazelet, manager
of the Chilkat Oil Company,
returned to Cordova from
Katalla a few day3 ago and
reported that the new well Do
ing drilled on the property
of the company is now down
a distance of 975 feet, where
the oil showing is as goo4 as
they have over encountered at
that point. He states that there
was oil struck at 740 feet and
that 400 or 500 feet more will
be drilled in order to deter
mine the value of the well.
Marble produced in Alaska
will be prominently featured
in the new Washington State
eapitol at Olympia if members
of the eapitol commission have
their way about it. The Alaska
product is more costly than
marble produced elsewhere,
but in the opinion of the com
mission, the better appear
mce of the Alaska product
justifies the added cost.
The Ketchikan city council
recently voted to retire $10,
000 of the bonds sold to fi
nance the erection of Ketcn
ikan’s fine new school build
ing. The sum of XlfjQ.QQfl .was
raised by two bond issues and
it is planned to retire the
bonds at the rate of $10,000
each year until all are retired.
Owners of hard rock proper
ties in the Ester quartz belt,
Fairbanks district, will not be
able to sell their claims to mig
ish capital until they come
town in their prices. That was
i the ultimatum issued recently
when the options taken some
! time ago were turned down.
