ANNOUNCING
The Completion and Opening
Of The New
TEXAS CREEK
HIGHWAY
Built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of nearly a half million dollars, with the
express object of opening this new and
remarkably mineralized portion ot the
Hyder, Alaska section of the Portland
Canal Mining District to development
and exploitation.
Gold, Silver, Copper and Lead Ores
abound in this wonderful mineral region and
offer excellent oppotunities for profitable mining
investment under the economical transportation
conditions provided by the splendid, new 12
mile highway traversing the Texas creek valley
from end to end.
In addition to opening this rich mineral region
to mining endeavor, the Texas Creek Highway
offers a scenic excursion of matchless mountain
scenery, and the most remarkable glacier vistas
in the world.

Hyder District and other data, address the

ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
The steamship Aleutian on
one of its last trips unloaded
4,000 sacks of cement at Sew
ard, destined to Interior points.
Coal is selling at $9 a ton
in Fairbanks. And it is good
coal ,too. It comes from the
Healy mines, about 160 miles
away.
Dawson recently had a talk
ing movie machine installed,
and the house was packed to
the doors hours before the time
for the show.
The Ketchikan Chronicle re
cently removed into its new
home in the Commercial build
ing, which gives it much more
room to display its fine outfit
of machinery.
Aliens will be checked up on
soon, if the plans of Rowland
F. Wyatt, stationed at Ketch
ikan, has to say about it. Mr.
Wyatt, who is an immigration
inspector, is making a trip over
the Territory, giving aliens an
opportunity to become natural
ized.
Muskrat skins were the prime
movers in the recent auction at
Tacoma. Prices were stronger
than for some time and the
total sales amounted to nearly
$100,000. The prices for na
tive rats were stronger than in
any recent sale, a large part
of the pelts going to the Lon
don market.
Two airplanes will arrive in
the Territory soon for use in
missionary work. Father
Woodley is bringing in a Wasp
powered Bellanca for use be
tween Nulato and Tanana and
Fr. Feltes will be stationed at
Holy Cross with a diesel pow
ered Bellanca and will service
the district to the westward.
Copious rains in the Iditarod
district are causing much jub
ilation among the miners, as it
assists them in their sluicing
operations. The rains were es
pecially welcome at Flat,
where the sluices have been
virtually dry during the greater
part of the season with mining
operations limited accordingly.
Everyone is working now at
Flat and on nearby streams,
and the gold output is piling
up.
There is no such concentra
tion of wolves and coyotes in
Alaska as in some of the West
ern states, declares Warden
Gubser predatory animal hunt
er, to a Fairbanks reporter.
There has been a steady drift
of both wolves and coyotes, to
sections heretofore free from
their presence. The entire
Alaska mainland is infested,
frm Point Barrow to Hyder.
The situation is not so serious
as it might be, as rabbits are
again increasing rapidly and
will be plentiful for the next
few years. The country about
Eagle is described as a para
dise for wolves and many trap
pers make a good living hunt
ing them.
