Charles (Jacques) Junte, pio
neer Alaskan, died in Oakland,

kan and had lived in the North ;
for more than a score of
i
years, directed that his ashes
be sent to Alaska on the next
boat following cremation and

in the same business.
A wireless message received
at Edmonton from Fort Simp
son reports the finding of the
body of J. C.' Nichol, a Yukon
pioneer, on November 12, in
his cabin in the Fort Norman
district. L. Beaman, with whom
he was trapping and prospect
ing. had disappeared. A trap
per accidently came upon the

Edward Reegan, son of form
er Chief of Police Keegan ot
■Juneau, who vas recently tried
on a charge of manslaughter i
in the District Court at Jur.- j
eau, was freed when Judge j
Reed instructed the jury to re
turn a verdict of not guilty.
Keegan was driving an auto
mobile which struck Jimmy
Johns, an aged Indian, and it
was charged that the injuries
thus inflicted caused the nat
ive’s death tw’o day3 later. As
there was no evidence intro^ .j
duced to show that the fatality j
was the result of other than an
accident, the defense moved
for an instructed verdict of
acquittal, the motion being
granted by the court.
Joe Seymour and Andrew
j Morrison, clam digger of Cor
dova, are believed to have lost
i their lives on January 15, when
they set out from Mummy Is
land in a row boat, bound for
Strawberry Point. They had
been working for the Central
Packing Co., and lived at the
1 firm’s clam camp at Mummy
Island. The owners of the con
cern, had a party out for some
days looking for the pair. A
lantern found at Strawberry
Point is thought to have been
used by the missing men. One
theory is that the men went
an the beach during the night
with the lantern but while they
worked their boat broke away
and drifted off, forcing them
-o attempt to swim to safety
when the tide came in.
Gus Dahlgren, a miner in the
Yakataga Beach district, and

ates a power boat, heard of.
Dahlgren’s misfortune on a

with supplies for the Petrole
'.m Company’s watchmen. He
went at once to Yakutat and
secured a supply of bedding,
Nothing, and about a ton of
groceries and returned to Icy"
Jay. Going into the bay he ran
:nto ice but finally made a
landing.

Word reached Juneau recent
y that the original owners of a
>'roup of claims in the Porcu
oine country, back of Haines,
ire arranging to work ,the
property themselves after oth
ers to whom it had been opt
oned had given it up. Four
ractors have been landed at
Haines for use in transporting
ere from the mines to the
wharf at Haines, from whence
:t will be shipped to the out
ride for treatment. They ex
pect to handle 16 tons of ore
a day.
The property was worked last
year by R. W. Wiley and as
sociates. While values were
nich as would have justified
continuation of operations,
the problem of roads was an
obstacle that could not be ov
ercome, and the work was
abandoned, Since that time the
Alaska Road Commission ha3
constructed a road from Haines
to the International boundary
line and the Canadian govern
ment continued it on to the
mine, which is on the Canadi
an side of the line.
