BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Development of the Golden
Fleece gold mine at Dolomi
will be continued, it was an
nounced recenty by Joseph M.
Kehoe, who, with Alez Adkins,
Lester O. Gore, J. S. Pitcher
and L. C. Hill have organized
the Dolomi Gold Mine Com
pany. The property, formerly
owned by J. R. Heckman &
Co., was worked last in 1905,
when a prominent eastern
company sent a mining expert
west to develop the claim. Up
on his arrival the expert shut
down the mill. The Dolomi
company is capitalized at $50,
000 and all expenditures inci
dent to development work are
being borne by the original
owners.
The total Bristol Bay salmon
pack for 1927 was approxi
mately 850,000 cases, exclus
ive of Port Moller and Heren
deen Bay, according H. B.
Friele, general manager of
the Nakat Packing Corporat
ion. The pack of the district
for this season, according to
Mr. jFriele’s estimates, is about
500,000 cases short of the pack
last year, when 1,400,000
cases were packed.
High temperatures prevailed
in Alaska as well as in the
States last month. On Sunday,
July 3, the themometer regis
tered 83 degrees at Juneau.
Some years ago 87 was record
ed in August, and Weather
Man Mize reports that at an
other time, date not given, the
mercury climbed up the tube
until it reached 89. On Satur
day ,July 8, according to trav
elers, the mercury in a ther
mometer at Copper Center,
tried to climb out of the tube,
but only got to 120 and then
gave up the attempt.
Wm. S. Sjmpson, a native of
Canada, disputes Benny Ben
son’s claim of having originat
ed the design of the flag re
cently adopted by the Terri
torial Legislature as the offici
al flag of Alaska. Mr. Simpson
writes to a Canadian newspapr
er the following:
“In the Sunday Province of
July 8 appeared a press re
port which stated that some
one in Alaska had designed a
flag consisting of the Great
Dipper and North Star, which
had been adopted by the Alas
ka Teritory. This design for a
flag was made by myself two
years ago and presented for
entry in the Native Sons of
■ Canada flag competition. The
newspapers of Vancouver,
British Columbia, as well a&
many sections of Canada and
the United States, gave wide
publicity to my flag design. It
was shown in the columns of
a large number of newspapers,
yet at this late stage I find
credit given to someone who

plagiarized my ideas. My wife
also entered a flag design in
the competition, which showed
the Union Jack in quarter,
with a golden maple leaf on a
silver sun and the royal cross
of St. George on the fly. May
be someone will copy that also
and take credit for original

With the salmon run at Ket
chikan considerably behind
the run of last year the local
cannerymen are encouraged
by reports of immense schools
seen outside by halibut ves
sels. This means that the fish
are on their way to the spawn
ing grounds. Traps nearer the
ocean reported better catches,
and private advices said the
run had begun in Icy Strait.
Three hundred and fifty
shorthorn cattle browse over
the mountainous surface of
tiny Chirikof Island, 200 miles
out in the North Pacific ocean
from Kodiak. More than 40
years ago the Alaska Com
mercial Company, a develop
ment concern long since ex
tinct, stocked the island with
a few head of tame cattle for
experimental purposes. On
the little isle, with a surface
of but 20 square miles, the
cattle have degenerated from
inbreeding and have become
thoroughly wild, but the herd
continues to thrive. Alaskans
say the experiment at least
has proved that cattle can be
grown in that region.
Gerrit Snyder is having won
derful success raising mink on
his fur farm near Wasilla, as
is evidenced by the fact that
he has raised 125 young mink
this year from 24 females, the
litters running as high as eight
or nine.
Dr. John W. Houston, Bur
eau of Education, was lost ov
erboard from a government
hospital boat on the lower
Yukon river, 10 miles below
Mountain Village recently, and
was drowned. The body hat
not yet been recovered.
No one but native Indians ot
Kodiak Island will be permit
ted to fish for herring in those
waters, according to U. S.
Fisheries Commissioner Henry

O’Malley. The condition is the
result of an agreement entered
into between the government
and the Indians in 1892. Re
cently the natives brought the
matter to the attention of
Washington, and their claims
were sustained. It is under
stood the ruling affects only
the taking of fish but does not
prevent the salteries from op
erating so long as the Indians
catch the fish.
Organization of a new fur
farming and stock raising con
cern, which proposes to oper
ate on Adak island, in the
Aleutian group, was disclosed
recently by the filing of art

pany is known as the Adak
Ranch Company, and the incor
porators are N. E. Bolshanin,
of Sitka; C. T. Pederson, of
oan Francisco; Henry Swanson
and William Gardner, of Una
laska, and Howard Biwman,
of Seattle. It is understood the
company will start with fur
bearing animals and later
branch out into the growing
of livestock. The company is
capitalized for $25,000.
Information is desired by the
Governor’s Office relative to
J. Lallemand, formerly of Can
ada, who came to Alaska about
25 years ago.
