GUGGENHEIM’S QUIT
YUKON DISTRICT
The Yukon Gold Mining Com
pany, Ltd., one of most reliable
mining companies in the nortn,
coming to Dawson eighteen
years ago, is winding up its
activities in this camp foi
good, says the Dawson News.
With the departure of the
Guggenheims from the North,
this country is losing a mining
concern whose name is synony
mous with the Klondike gold
fields for almost twenty years.
Although the Yukon Gold
Company shut down its dred
ges some years ago, it con
tinued in the hydraulic field
and employed many men ev
ery season at its various camps,
and at its power plant at the
head of Twelvemile river. Dur
ing the past summer the resi
dent manager George T. Coi
fey, shipped the best of the
machinery and high tension
wire to the Malay Peninsula,
where the Yukon Gold Com
pany is now extensively inter
ested in placer tin mining.
A quarter of a million dollars
in gold bullion formed a part
of the cargo of the steamer
1 Victoria on her last south
bound trip from Nome. She al
so stopped at Akutan and
loaded on 1700 barrels of
whale oil.

BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL !
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
!
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
B. M. Stone, well known Alas
: kna newspaper man, who has
i been connected with the Ancn
orage Times, left recently for
the States accompanied by
Mrs. Stone. It is their intention
to make their future home oui
side.
On September 30, end of the
third quarter of the year, Tei
litorial financesAvere in an ex-1
cellent condition, a cash bal- J
ance of $439,657.25 being on j
hand, according to a financial
report issued by Territorial
Treasurer W. G. Smith. Re-1
ceipts for the quarter were
$201,427.24, and disburse
ments totaled $346,078.88.
The gasboat Iowa was recent-'
; ly ordered forfeited and sold
; by Judge T. M. Reed, of Jun
eau, who signed the order of
forfeiture when no appearance
j was made at the final hearing
! of the libel action brought by
government. The boat was
i seized as the result of liquor
i being found on board of her at
i Sitka. The boat was under
charter to Fred McGill at the
; time of the seizure.
Thos. D. Harris and A. J.
White, operators of the Cache
Crek dredge, arrived in Anch
orage recently and reported
having had asuccessful season.
They employed twenty men
during most of the summer.
The body of Ernest Bohman,
a member of the crew of the
missionary motorship Ariel,
which was recently wrecked
near Teller, was found October
23, partially buried in the
frozen sands one mile west of
! Tilsuk creek. Bohman left the
j vessel to seek help, and it is be
. lieved he was drowned in at
tempting to cross Tilsuk.
Young Bohman had attended
the Stanford University two
years and the University of
, Idaho last year.
Angus McLeod, former resi
! dent of Anchorage, and more
recntlv an inmate of the Pi
oneers’ Home at Stika was au
judged insane by a jury in the
Commissioner’s Court at Sitka,
and was sent to the Morning
; side santarium. McLeod made
two attempts at suicide recent-'
ly.
W. S. Horning and C. A.
Bartholf operators of the Ma
bel mine, in the Willow Creek
district, recently closed down
for the season. Mr. Horning
stated that the work this seas
on had yielded returns consid
i erably beyond expectations
and the development work,
which had opened new ore
bodies, will enable them to op
erate on a larger scale next
year. A crew of 8 men was
employed most of the summer,
and could have worked quite a
while longer, but they are ope
rating the property under a
lease, which expires this month
making it necessary to dis
continue work until an exten
sion of the lease.
M. J. Conroy, former mayor
of Anchorage and extensively
interested in numerous busi
ness enterprises, especially in
mining in the Willow Creek
district, after spending four
months in that district depart
ed recently for Gilbert, Nev
ada, which town, it is reported,
has recently set the mining
world afire.
The mining outlook for Norne '
and the Seward Peninsula nev-1
er looked more promising, ac- ■
cording to reports from that
section. Enormous mining act
ivities are planned for next
season in all sections. The pop- j
ulation of Nome this winter is
estimated at 1,400. The Ilam
mon company still has three
dredges operating, with pros
pects of a long season. Weath
er conditions are ideal, with
the temperature above freez
ing.
The closed season on sea oi
ter, which was fixed by regu
lations issued in 1921, did not
end November 1, according tc
announcement made by the
Juneau office of the Bureau of
Fisheries. A new regulation to
this order was issued by the
Department of Commerce Ocl
obr 17. Official circular No.
285, issued by Secretary Hoov
|er in 1921 provided “The kill
ing of sea otter in the waters
of Alaska is prohibited until
Nov. 1, 1925. The federal law
lation concerning sea ottei,
says: “Circular No. 285 is not
to be construed as permitting
the killing of sea otter aftei
Nov. 1, 1925. The fedral law
absolutely prohibits the killing
of sea otter except under au
thority of the Secretary ol
I Commerce. No such authority
has been granted and the pro
| hibition of the law continues
'in force. *
In the first action of its kind
over brought in the Territory.
| and, according to local at
torneys, possibly one of first
on record in Federal. Courts.
! Jimmie C. John, son of the lac
James John. Indian, lifts filed
suit in the local district court
for $10,000 against Mr. ana
, Mrs. Charles Rudy for the
; death of his father, says the
l Juneau Empire. The action it
brought under Section 20 oi
jthe National Prohibition En
forcement law. James John
died in a local hospital on Sep
tember 17 last, from injuries
received when he was struck
by an automobile two days
prior to that date. The acci
dent occurred a short distance
outside of the city, near the
Juneau Dairy. Edward Kee
gan, driver of the car that
struck the Indian, and James
Foote, a companion, in testify
ing befort the jury holding the
inquest said the accident \va&
unavoidable. Foote testified
they had one or two drinks but
denied they were intoxicated.
The complaint against the Ru
dys alleges that the driver of
the car was intoxicated and
that he secured the liquoi
from Rudy. Section 20 of the
law under which the suit was
brought, provides that anyom
illegally selling or furnishing
liquor to another may be sued
-for damages done by such pei
son while in an intoxicated
condition resulting fyom such
i sale.

Mrs. Steers bravely put a rope

deer, was too exhausted to be
bothered about his new ana
L ange surroundings and sank
nto a two hours nap. When
he animal awoke, Mrs. Steers
orovided him with food and
by the time the craft do?ked
at Wrangell the deer had be
come entirely used to his ncv»
mvironment. Later the buck
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs.
jtaciT left on a short visit to
Ketchikan before sailing for
Seattle where he will be plac
ed in one of the Seattle parks.

Piince Rupert mining and real
ty man, and work will start in
he near future, according to
Dr. W. A. Borland, of Juneau,
