The Pioneer Picture Corpora
tion has been organized in Juneau
to produce in motion pictures an
educational Alaska story, ’’Break
ing the Fur Trust”. The author
is Henry Moses, who has been
engaged for thirty-live years in
the fur trade in the Territory.
The scenario will portray the his
tory of Alaska from the time of
the establishment of the first
Kussian post at Sitka in 1789. It
will include educational features
showing native industries and ae
iivities, including basket weaving
carving of totem poles, hunting,
trapping native dances, a pot
latch, and the ceremony of mak
ing Mr.Mos -s a tribal chief, with
attending ritualistic performan
ces.
Natives will be the chief per
formers, some being actual par
ticipants in the histortical scenes
portrayed. Mr. Moses himself
will gather the Indians, select
the locations make it his business
to see that the picture presents
truly the things portrayed. Ar
rangements have been concluded
with Wallace Chewi'n, an experi
enced motion picture director
and cameraman, \\ ho is to have
; charge of the tocninal work.

That Alaska isn’t a land of o
I
: tenial ice and snow, is amply
proven, but, the Petersburg He
raid clinches the argument. The
issue of March 7, states that a
farmer near town has radishes
on the market that come from
volunteer seed,and that have been
grown in the open.
The property of Charles Lake
and Dave O’Leary, located on the
edge of the Premier property
near Hyder, has been bonded to
R. K. O’Neil, as the result of re
cently completed negotiations.
A first payment of SL’0,000 is re
ported to have been made. The
size of subsequent payments has
not been made public.
The name of the Petersburg
Weekly Report has been chang

Experts have expressed theopin
ion that electricity will solve the
problem that has proved baffling
With the exhaustion of the
of the shallow ground in the Tan
ana valley, placer mining has
been confined to hydraulic, shaft
and dredge work,entailing heavy
expense and many hazards in
prospecting. To sink a shaft re
quires a thawing outfit and high
priced fuel, even with the mines
nearby.
In the frozen creek beds there
is no trouble from water and
pumping is obviated. Yet in other
places it often happens that live
water is encountered just when
the prospector is ready for sam
pleing, and elaborate equipment
is required lodetermioe the value
of the ground. Electric thawing
is said to be feasible, pumping,
when necessary,would be greatly
reduced in cost.
Electricity, if used, would be
transmitted over a power line,
110 miles, and then, be distribut
ed over an area of fifty square
miles.
