Mining and prospecting oper

winter. W. S. Pekovich said

has been carried on seasonal
ever since.
The gold production of the
Fairbanks district will reach
and probably pass $1,000,000
this year, according to George
Hutchinson, president of the
First National Bank of Fair
banks. He said English inter

ments in ground in the interior
section and the outlook for the
future was bright.
A virtual assurance that Fair
banks will receive a new fed

a letter received recently by
United States Marshal Lynn

eral, in which it is stated that
the attorney general’s office
has submitted a request to the
secretary for an appropriation
for construction of the build
ing. Marshal Smith was asked
to submit plans showing the
amount of floor space requir
er by each of the federal of
fices.
The first concentrates in sev
eral years were produced last
summer at Tin City, on the
Bering Sea coast about 130
miles north of Nome. For years
efforts have been made to de
velop a paying property there
but little headway was made
until the National Tin Mining
Corporation, acquired it, first
under a lease, and then by out
right purchase which was re
cently concluded.
A tunnel has been run a dis
tance of 750 feet. In the tun
nel, 470 feet from the portal,
a shaft 300 feet has been sunk
on the tin ore vein and there
is said to be at least 750 feet
of ore back of the shaft.
At a depth of 250 feet it is
reported that the shaft cuts
through a new ledge of silver
lead ore, 12 feet wide which
will run 50 per cent metal.
The main tin ore lode is said
to be 12 feet wide and will
run two per cent tin and tung
sten. It is estimated 470,000
tons of ore is already blocked
out. There is said to be suf

500 or 1000-ton mill working
continuously, and plans are
under way for the construction
of such a plant.

Spencer, by Capt. Glasscock of
the steamer Yukon., Mrs.
Dodge, wife of the late Capt
Dodge, veteran Alaska ship
master, passed away in Seattle
last September, and asked that
her remains be cremated and
the ashes scattered on the sea,
where the ashes of her hus
band were consigned, follow
ing his death on the S.S. La
touche between Akutan and
Seattle last year.
Dr. F. J. O’Hara arrived at
Nome on the last Victoria to
succeed Dr. Curtis Welsh as
guardian over the health of
the Seward peninsula people.
Dr. and Mrs. Welsh left for
the states on the last boat.
“Billie” McDowell, little son
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Mc
Dowell, well known Dawson
couple, met an untimely fate
recently when he fell while
carrying a box of dynamite
caps, with which he had been
playing. The boy was terribly
mutilated by the exploding
caps, death being instantan
eous. The caps, which had
been secreted several years
ago by their owner, were
found by the McDowell lad.
The epidemic of smallpox de
veloping recently in native
villages near the mouth of the
Yukon River is now reported
spreading to more northerly
sections of the Nome district.
Epidemics of the disease
have so far appeared at Mar
shall, Mountain Village and
Unalakleet in the lower Yukon
district, and at Candle, Deer
ing and Kotzebue on the Arctic
coast about 150 miles north of
Nome. Late news dispatches
from Nome reported over a
hundred cases of the disease
at Kotzebue. Forty-six cases
were known to exist at Unala
kleet, 150 miles southeast of
Nome. Quarantines have been
established at a majority of
the infected points, but it is be
lieved by officials that other
localities may be affected to
some extent.
Smallpox is regarded by doc
tors as generally fatal to the
natives of Alaska.
Mrs. Leona Bittner lost her
life at Katalla recently as the
result of falling from the dock.
No one saw her fall but Cap
tain William Crooker of the
launch Fidelity, who was on
his boat nearby saw the eddies
where the unfortunate woman
had gone down and made a
heroic effort to rescue her. He
plunged into the icy waters
and continued the search for
nearly an hour. Mrs. Bittner
was a resident of Juneau and
was visiting in Katalla.
Reports from Nenana state
that there is considerable 'agi
tation there against the con
tinuance of Sunday amuse
ments, the agitation dating
from the reopening recently of
the Presbyterian church. The
story is that the new pastor is
very much in favor of closing
all places of amusement on
Sunday, believing that church
attendance will be increased ii
there are no counter attract
ions.
The town has always had Sun
day picture shows and unre
stricted operation of pool halls
and the agitation for Sunday
closing at this late day is said
to have caused considerable
uproar. It is reported that the
owner of the movie theatre
will close the place permanent
ly if Sunday shows are stop
ped.
S. O. Osland, an oil man oi
Billings, Montana, has taken
an option on the well known
Wagner property at Salmon
Creek, near Juneau. The prop
erty has just been examined
by Charles J. Stone, mining en
gineer. If the latter makes s
favorable report a first pay
ment will be made and an ex
tensive development program
outlined.
Wagner has refused offers
for many years from the Gug
genheim and Treadwell inter
eats, demanding more than
they were willing to pay. His
claims reach from Salmon
Creek to the Last Chance basin
where the Treadwell is operate
ing at the present time. The
United States Mining & Smelt
ing interests also have claims
in Last Chance basin.

pox among the natives of the
village.
The remainder of the villa
gers were vaccinated and sup
plies of vaccine were also left
at Hamilton and St. Michael.
The Petersburg Parent-Teach
er Association has decided to
sell one of the bonds of the

resident who conducted a
laundry, but recently left for
a trip to Japan.

adopted Superintendent Hat
ton of the institution, made
the suggestion before the
Chamber of Commerce that in

chamber. And in this connect
ion he was under the impres
sion that a letter to Governor
Parks would help as it is un

idea with favor.

ter of having the amount trans

pose.—Seward Gateway.
