BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
A gray wolf measuring more
than six feet in length, was
caught close to the town of
Healy, recently, and it i^ re
ported that the animals are
quite numerous in that section
of the rail belt.
C. A. Soper, of Wasilla, has
the distinction of having
caught nine wolves in that dis
trict during the winter.
Manuel Rodezue, a Spaniard,
aged about 35 years, was killed
recently when he fell down an
oreway at the Alaska Juneau
mine. He was unmarried and
had been employed at the mine
for about four years.
Mike Rocki, one of the origin
al stakers of Ganes Creek,
more than a score of years ago,
returned to that section re
cently after an absence of four
or five years, spent in the Fair
banks and Koyukuk districts.
Charles H. Swanson died at
the Pioneer Home, in Sitka,
March 7. He was over 73 years
old, and had resided in Alaska
since 1901, making his head
quarters, most of the time, at
Ketchikan, where his two sons
and two daughters reside.
The residence of pilot A. A.
Bennett, of Fairbanks, was
wrecked by fire several days
ago, causing damage estimated
at $6,000, including the loss of
personal effects valued at $3,
000. About half of the loss was
covered by insurance.
One hundred tons of drilling
equipment, including material
for a complete new standard
rig, has been shipped north by
Capt. Ivan Peterson, for use in
connection with his oil drilling
operations in the Chickaloon
field.
Mat. H. DeCourcy, aged 62
years, for many years a resi
dent of Faiitoanks, Iditarod,
Dawson, Anchorage and other
camps of the north, was found
dead recently in his room at
the Nordale Hotel, Fairbanks.
According to an announce
ment made toy J. J. Corey, of
the Bureau of Mines, W. B.
Deaner will begin development
work at Anthracite Ridge,
where he has secured a permit
to prospect the large anthra
cite outcroppings in that por
tion of the Chickaloon field.
Mr. Deaner was formerly en
gaged in prospecting a silver
property north of Anchorage.
Having withdrawn from that
enterprise he is said, to have in
terested California capital in
the anthracite field.
After seven years of suffer
ing, during which time he un
derwent a number of operat
ions, involving the loss of both
legs, death finally came to the
relief of Harry Smith, well
known former resident of the
Anchorage district. The end
came at the Elks’ Home, Bed
ford, Va., where the oldtimer
was admitted a year ago. His
trouble began at Eska seven
year ago .while he was work
ing as a stationary engineer,
a cylinder head falling on his
toes and crushing them badly.
After lying idle at Dutch Har
bor, Alaska, since February 9,
because of a broken turbine
the freighter Havelas, former
shipping board vessel, has
been sold for scrap and will
be towed to Japan. The
freighter is loaded with four
million feet of lumber. The
tow from Dutch Harbor to
Yokohama, a distance of 2,783

cult ever undertaken on the
Pacific.
Felix Riley was burned to
death in a fire which destroyed
his cabin at Flat recently. An
investigation showed the fire
to have started by the explos
ion of a gasoline lamp.
A pair of caribou horns have
been received by the curator
of the Alaska Museum, from
Fred H. Gray of Wrangell. In
a letter, Mr. Gray said the
horns had been found protrud
ing from the ice in a glacier
that has been receding during
the last few years. The discov
erer said that when he chopped
through the ice he discovered
the entire caribou in a perfect
state of preservation. After be
ing brought out into the air,
however, the animal soon dis
integrated so that only the
horns were saved.
The Thomas Bay glacier is
reported to be shooting ice
bergs from under water at the
head of that bay. The glacier
comes out in the valley at the
head of the bay, but there is a
mile or more of sand flats be
tween the water and the glac
ier edge. It is believed the glac
ier reaches down to consider
able depth, and as the under
ground glacier reaches a jump
ing-off place in the bay, it is
presumed that the force and
weight behind it and the salt
water action in front forces the
ice to break. It is said to be a
great sight to see great bergs
of ice shoot up out of the wat
er, shake themselves and settle
back to normal floating con
ditions. The bay is said to be
literally covered with icebergs
which have no way of getting
out of the harbor. The water
is also highly discolored with
glacial sand and mud. This is
the third time inthirteen years
that this glacier has been cut
ting up as reported.
Paul Layton, who left Sitka in
December for Pinta Bay, in
tending to spend the remain
der of the winter trapping in
that region, came to a tragic
end in his cabin as the result of
the supposed explosion of a
a gasoline engine. It is not ex
plained what the engine was
doing in the cabin, but it is pre
sumed Layton took it from his
boat when he arrived at Pinta
Bay and had it in his cabin for
safe keeping. The cabin occu
pied by Layton and another
one near by were burned and
the body of Layton was
charred to such an extent that
recognition was almost imposs
ible.
