ANNOUNCING
The Completion and Opening
Of The New
TEXAS CREEK
HIGHWAY
Built by the U. S. Government at a cost
of nearly a half million dollars, with the
express object of opening this new and
remarkably mineralized portion of the
Hyder, Alaska section of the Portland
Canal Mining District to development
and exploitation.
Gold, Silver, Copper and Lead Ores
abound in this wonderful mineral region and
offer excellent oppotunities for profitable mining
investment under the economical transportation
conditions provided by the splendid, new 12
mile highway traversing the Texas creek valley
from end to end.
In addition to opening this rich mineral region
to mining endeavor, the Texas Creek Highway
offers a scenic excursion of matchless mountain
scenery, and the most remarkable glacier vistas
in the world.
For information relative to the mineral resources ot the
Hyder District and other data, address the
Hyder Chamber of Commerce, Inc,

ALASKA NOTES
Culled From the Newspapers
Of the Territory.
The steamer Lakina picked
up five sailors from the wreck
ed halibut schooner Democrat,
recently, while in the vicinity
of Cook Inlet. No information
was received as to the cause
of the wreck.
Owing to the heavy demands
on the prospector’s fund of
$500 for the Fairbanks divis
ion, the fund has been exhaust
ed, and prospectors going into
the hills now will be forced to
use their own funds. As a bal
ance of the fund has been ex
pended there will be no more
money until next year.
The Fairbanks weather bur
eau is installing new instru
ments among them being an
Eppley pyroheliometer, de
signed to take measurements
of solar radiation in high lat
itudes where the daily distri
bution is markedly different
from that in low latitudes.
The first balloon to have
been recovered since the Fair
banks office of the U. S.
weather bureau started up,
was found this week on Fourth
of July hill about 22 miles
northeast of Fairbanks, by
Prof. Albert Wilkerson and
Wilson Walton. The balloon
had burst.
Dr. Kokichi Oshima, profes
sor of fisheries at Hakodate,
Imperial University of Japan,
arrived in Petersburg recently
to look into the shrimp and
)ther fisheries. He has just re
urned from Europe, where he
spent some time. He is study
ng with a view to writing a
monograph on the subject for
reference in the university.
Several officers of the cut
ter Tallapoosa are being tried
by court martial in Seattle on
a charge of drunkenness while
the vessel was in Cordova. The
charges report that Assistant
Surgeon General Howard
Hahn fell overboard at Cor
dova; he and Lieut. French
were under the influence of
liquor at Kodiak, and French
appeared at mess badly bruis
ed, according to the allegat
ions.
Charles E. Bunnell, president
of the Alaska College, is mak
ing efforts to have the peat
on land held by the college
used commercially. President
Bunnell, gave a lease on the
peat bog last October, to Geo.
A. Lingo, a mining engineer
who has associated with him
John Worcester of Boston
Tech. During the coming win
ter they plan to remove ap
proximately 500 tons for a
preliminary shipment. The
peat will be harvested like ice,
allowed to dry, an d made into
bales and shipped. Should a
trial shipment prove satisfac
tory, machinery will be put in
and a sizeable industry built
up.
