Of the Territory.
Following a report that men
of 50 years and over would be
denied employment on the
Alaska Railroad, Fairbanks
Igloo of Pioneers appointed a
committee to investigate.
Judge Peter D. Overfield,
well known in Northern Alas
ka, recently left Seattle for an
extended trip over the Terri
tory. He was formerly judge i
of the Fourth Division.
While running his traps near
Seward recently, Jack Prosser
found a large coyote in one of
them. The animals are grad- \
ually encroaching on the game j
preserves of the Kenai Penin-'
sula.
The eruption of a volcano on
the Alaska Peninsula recently I
put the radios in that vicinity j
out of business. The static was j
so great that communication
was impossible.
Louis Larramore of Betties, j
and Black Jack McDermott, of
Ruby, have entered the Pio
neers’ Home at Sitka. Both
men are oldtimers in the coun
try and have a host of friends.
A searching party under the
direction of Deputy Marshal
Cloes was recently sent out of
Cordova to hunt for James |
Hayes, missing for some time.
The party returned after find
ing no trace of the man.
j An interesting and elaborate
ly illustrated booklet has just
been published by the Govern
ment printing office, describ
ing an Anthropological Survey
in Alaska, by Dr. Alex Hrd
licka, of the Smithsonian In
stitution. The Dr. is again on
his way to interior Alaska for
another season’s exploration.
Charles Goyne, a Nuka Bay
miner, recently arrived in
Seward with a hag of samples
that approximated jewelry
i ore it was so rich. The prop
erty lies about two miles from
the rich Babcock & Downey
claims, and assays have shown
it to be of great value.
Joe Lewis, prospector anil
miner of the lower Kuskok
wim, was found dead in his
cabin on Ophir River, it is re
ported. The cabin is located
about 100 miles from Bethel
near Whitefish Lake. A party
was sent in to bury the re
mains.
As an evidence of what the '
airplane is doing for Alaska, a
case is cited where a miner
tlew into his claims in three I
hours, a trip that formerly1
took five days of hard j
mushing. Many other cases are
cited where prospectors make
trips for half what it formerly
cost them to travel by dog
team.
Cordova City Council has
notified the owners of old boat
hulls lying on the tide flats
opposite the city to clear them
away within thirty days or
they will be destroyed at the
owners’ expense.
