BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
A large increase in the num
ber of automobiles in Juneau
this year is evidenced by the
fact that up to the latter part
of June 421 licenses had been
issued in that city as against
362 last year.
A wire received by Marshal
Lynn Smith, of Fairbanks,
states that Game Warden Du
resne had confiscated 134 bea
ver skins and 34 muskrat skins
that had been illegally trap
ped. The seizure was made at
Koyukuk Station.
The first king salmon of the
summer run of salmon up the
Yukon River was caught two
miles above Tanana in John
Adams’ fish wheel on July 1.
The first run of the kings was
17 days later than last year.
The largest king so far caught
reached 32 pounds.
Albert Heckey, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Rosa Heckey, of An
chorage, was a member of the
graduating class at the U. S.
naval academy at Annapolis,
in June. He is 23 years of age
and came to Alaska with his
parents in 1908.
Henry S. O’Connell, an old
time Alaskan, died recently at
the Pioneer Home at Sitka. Be
fore going to the home he had
lived for a number of years
on his homestead near Anchor
age.
Dr. T. A. Jaggar, Hawaiian
volcanologist of the U. S. Ge
ological Survey ,returned to
Dutch Harbor recently from
a cruise among the western
Aleutian Islands to Atka, on
the Coast Guard cutter Unal
ga and reported having seen
20 large volcanoes. Both Bog
20 large volcanoes. Both Bogo
slov and Garelot volcanoes are
active ,he said. Dr. Jaggar
landed on Bogoslov Island,
where he found a new steam
ing inner cone of hot, rough
lava, surrounded by a rough
shaped lagoon of warm salt
water. Outside of this was a
complete ring of gravel, with
| beaches outside and inside and
| no open channel. Dr. Jagger
believes a new spell of intens
j ive activity has started on
Bogoslov, closely resembling
the 1906 eruption. Four hun
dred sea lions were found liv
ing on the beaches close to the
| active volcano, and millions
of sea birds nested in the cliffs
| and on the sand banks. There !
j is sulphurous steam, but no !
noxious gasses were encounter-!
ed.
Otto Brevdick, pioneer hunter
and prospector, returned to
i Dawson recently in a small j
! boat, after a long sojourn in j
i the Ross River country. Mr.

000 tons of ore and a record of $10,550,000 paid in dividends to stockholders during
seven years of operation.
AI30 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-IDA
KO MINE, a seasonal shipper 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.

Brevdick left Dawson in June,
1926, on a prospecting expe
dition around the Pelly Banks,
260 miles above Selkirk. Dur
ing the course of the winter he
prospected the country extens
ively and states that he made
a very promising gold discov
ery, which well rewarded him
for the year spent in the coun
try. t
One of the heaviest rain, hail
and wind storms experienced
in many years, struck Dawson
recently, fairly drenching the
streets and causing pedestrians
and others to take to shelter.
The storm raged from Forty
mile and as far south as Five
Finger Rapids. At Coffey
Creek lightning struck the tel
egraph wires, putting the sys
tem out of commission for u
time. One of the officers of
the steamer Whitehorse stated
he had never witnessed such a
downpour in all the years he
had been navigating the Yukon
river.
Lee Lauritz, painter, residing
in Anchorage, ended his life
by suicide recently. Lauritz
when found, was hanging in
his place of business. About
three years ago Lauritz’s part
ner, Bacon, committed suicide
in the same manner. The de
ceased leaves a wife and two
children.
Adolph Miller, of Fairbanks,
who was recently caught car
rying a sack containing several
bottles of white mule on the
street, was convicted of pos
sessing intoxicating liquors
and was sentenced to serve a
year in the federal jail and
pay a fine of $500. Miller gave
notice of an appeal to the dis
trict court.
Preliminary reports .based on j
estimates received by the Alas
ka Game Commission, indicate :
that about 11,000 beaver pelts i
have been sealed, showing;
them to have been legally tak
en. The take of beaver pelts
in the limited area of the Ter
ritory, in which it is permitted
to take them this year, will
probably be worth $500,000.
Commission officials believe
he take will not be less than
20,000 and may reach an even
higher figure.
Anthony Mudinich and M.
Bellonich, joint proprietors of
the Pioneer Cafe in Ketchikan,
recently purchased the Nelson
Hotel property ,in that city.
The purchase price is said to
have been $69,500. Mudinich
and Bellonich first went into
business for themselves in Ket
chikan about two years ago,
when they purchased Pete
Zurich’s cafe. They were com
pletely burned out in the big
fire. They took another lease
on the new Nelson Hotel build
ing and rapidly recovered
their losses.
When the large cannery
steamer arrived at Bristol Bay
recently, it had on board one
not listed among the passenger
or crew. A young woman,
Mrs. Lillian Brehens hid in the
baggage hold of the vessel and
was not found until the steam
er had passed Cape Flattery.
It was brought out that just a
week prior to the sailing of the
steamer she had been married
to John Brehens, and after
wards he had sailed for Alas
ka. The idea of having a hus
band so far did not appeal to
her, so instead of anxiously
waiting months for his return,
she decided to join him—and
she did.
Much work, preparatory to
actual mining operations, is
being done at the Jacob Marty
mine at Windham Bay, accord
ing to a representative of the
Territorial Mine Inspector’s of
fice. A tram 4200 feet in length
is being constructed, and mill
ing was expected to begin by
July 15, at which time the
tramway was expected to be
completed. More than 20 men
have recently been added to
the crew.
The cabin plane of the An
chorage Air Transport Co. was
damaged in a gale recently at
Bristol Bay, to which point it
had made a successful flight
with H. B. Friele, president of
the Alaska & Pacific Products
Co. A gale came up while the
piane was moored in the
Kvichak River in front of the
cannery plant and was it part
ly swamped. The propellor
was broken and one of the
wings damaged.
