LOCAL NOTES
The United States Internal
Revenue Service Cutter Cygan,
Ensign E. Desen, commander,
was a one-day visitor at this
port last week. Nothing defin
ite could be learned regarding
the object of the vessel’s visit,
save that it was in pursuance
of “official business,” although
indications were not wanting
that the term really covered
an investigation of the local sit
uation with respect to illicit
liquor traffic. In the event that
this was the real object of the
cutter’s visit, those aboard
were probably somewhat sur
prised at the absence of evi
dences of booze, despite the
fact that there are unlimited
supplies on tap within the pre
cincts of our Canadian neigh
bors across the border.
Work started last summer on
the 96 Group on Mineral Hill
will be resumed as soon as con
ditions permit and comfortable
quarters can be erected, ac
cording to Ray Snyder, who
left for the scene of operations
with 3>/2 tons of camp supplies,
powder, and building material
late last week. The supplies
were taken to the property by
Bryson and Mahood.
Mr. Snyder, who is associated
with P. R. Wilson, of Hyder,
and Arthur W. Fox, of Ketchi
kan, in the ownership of the
properties, stated that it is the
intention to continue the cross
cut tunnel started last summer
and also erect a substantial
12 x 16 camp building.
The tunnel referred to is now
in about 35 feet and will be ex
tended to cross cut at about 35
feet depth a very promising
vein of silver-lead ore which
is shown by the outcrops to be
over five feet thick. The ore
averages about 50 per cent in
lead and also carries some gold
in addition to the silver con
tent. Assays as high as $94 to
the ton have been obtained
from the surface ore.
The group comprises six
claims, and is located on the
west slope of Mineral Hill.
Every claim in the group is
favorably situated with timber
and water handy and is easily
reached by the government
trail, which runs close to the
western border.
Fred Foss, of Allgold creek
near Dawson recently had a
narrow escape from death
when he fell down a shaft
thirty feet in depth while at
work on his claim. The acci
dent occurred February 20th.
He was badly shaken and
bruised, but managed to climb
out of the shaft and to his cab
in, where he lay a week, help
less.The small supply of wood
on hand was sufficient for only
a few days, but by husbanding
it carefully he kept from freez
ing. His grub also ran out and
he was in danger of starving
until Andy Frooks, who works
on Allgold, called and brought
the injured man into Dawson
for medical attention.

RARE CURIOS IN
KODIAK CHURCH
The Russian church at Kodi
ak should be visited by every
tourist making the southwest
ern Alaska trip this year. This
church is a veritable store
house of interesting antiques,
with some of the oldest and
rarest volumes in Alaska, ac
cording to an exchange. Its
bible is bound with beaten
gold, and its pages hand print
ed on vellum. Many fine paint
ings of great age are shown by
Father Kashevaroff, in charge
of the parish for the past fifty
years, the altar being inlaid
with gold and rare tapestries.
It was at Kodiak that the Rus
sians had a large post in the
early days, and many vessels
were built for trade in Pacific
coast waters. A number ot
bells for California missions
were cast at Kodiak, and then
'taken to the Southland. Kodiak
i has pore associations with
^Russian rule than any other
town in Alaska and is well
'worth visiting.

| Recent advices from Peters
!burg say that an autopsy over
! the body of Anna Thompson,
■ nine year old Indian girl who
■died at Kake, March 27th, re
vealed indications of poisoning,
and the stomach and kidneys
I will be sent to the States for
| laboratory examination. The
Coroner’s jury adjourned afte£
I viewing the body. The council
|and mayor of Kake have
threatened to file charges
against the biological survey
because one of their agents is
■ blamed for the death owing to
ihis action in putting poison m
the snow to kill dogs that
: harassed the starving deer of
Southeastern Alaska.
A big snowy-plumaged ptar
migan paid a social call on her
sister of the domestic variety
in a Fourth Avenue West
chicken run recently, accord
ing to the Prince Rupert News.
The ptarmigan usually keeps
on the higher elevations of
mountain tops. It n seldtm if
ever, that they are seen on this
townsite. The bird cackled in a
manner very similar to hens,
land quite contentedly engaged
jin picking up food inten^'i for
| the chickens. The chickens
i however, held aloof from their
;wild visitor.
