Gus Berg, Cordova fisher
man, was drowned recently
when his boat capsized 200
yards from shore off Montague
Island.
Winter weather has forced
the closing down of all gold
mining dredges except one in
the Fairbanks district. The
dredge on upper Cleary Creek
was still turning over Jan. 8.
W. M. Young, in charge ot
the Chilkat Oil Campany at
Kctalla, is putting down a new
well. It has been drilled to a
depth of 200 feet. He will drill
two new wells next summer on
claims near the Yakutat Sal
mon Cannery.
The Interior region seems to
agree with the 84 musk oxen
that were shipped last fall
from Greenland to Alaska Ag
ricultural College and school
[ of Mines at Fairbanks. All the
animals are thriving. All have
gained weight since their ar
- rival at the college.
Platinum mining for the
t winter was suspended early in
1 the Good News Bay district
in the vicinity of Bethel. Six- j
teen men were engaged in op
erations. Last year’s output
] was 600 ounces. The metal
j is mined in a w-ay similar to
| placer gold. Although plat
I inum prices have dropped to
! $27 an ounce from a previous
' high of $140, the mining of
the metal is still profitable.
Operation in Fairbanks be
tween 6 P. M. and 3 A. M. of
any electrical devices that in
terfere with radio reception is
forbidden by an ordinance en
acted by the City Council.
Penalties for violations range
from fines of $5 to $25 or in
carceration in jail from on*
day to ten days, or both.
Judgment of $90,000 in a
mortgage foreclosure suit has
been obtained in the United
States District Court at Fair
banks by the Miners and Mer
chants Bank of Flat against
the Riley Investment Company,
owner of the Riley dredge and
the Riley mining property in
the Iditarod district.
Fifty-one beaver skins, a pol
ing boat and an outboard mot
or, seized from a trapper who
was operating illegally, will be
sold at Bethel, on order of the
District Court at Fairbanks.
Fifty beaver, thirteen ermine,
two mink, two ottor and one
muskrat, illegally taken, will
be sold on the court’s order at
Fairbanks.
A live young bird, scarcely
feathered, found by Mrs.
Shortly near her home in
Seldovia, was identified by
reference to a bird book as a
Derby Flycatcher, and the only
section given by the book as
the habitat of this species is
near Brownsville, Texas, in the
lower Rio Grande Valley. No
one in Seldovia had ever seen
a bird of this kind before. How
it came there is a mystery. It
died four hours after it had
been found.
