Hay was sent to Fairbanks for

The Chulitna district had
more snow last winter than ev
er before, according to old
timers, who aver that there

the ground a couple of weeks
ago, which is two feet more
than ever recorded there be

ikan for the current year.
Outside people are reported
to have taken an option on the
cinnabar property of E. W.
Parks on the Kuskokwim river
in the vicinity of Georgetown.
The purchase price named in
the option is said to be a half
million dollars. There is said
to be a promise for large scale
development of the property
during the present year.
Michael Shelyeleff, 29, met
death recently in the Alaska
Juneau mine by the explosion
of a blasting charge. He was
engaged in setting off a round
of shots. Three charges were
to be fired and fellow employ
ees waiting for the third shot
failed to hear it and investi
gated, finding Shelyeleff dead,
evidently killed by the second
shot, as he was firing the third.
The deceased was a Russian
and had been in the employ
of the company for about four
years.
Permission to send a limited
number of Alaska Indian men
suffering from tuberculosis
to the Cushman Hospital at Ta
coma, was received recently
from the secretary of the inter
ior. The Bureau of Education
has set aside $5,000 to pay for
the treatment of the selected
cases. The Cushman institution
is being converted by the U, S.
Indian bureau into a home for
tubercular Indians.
Pleading guilty to a charge
of shoplifting, Arnold Smith
was sentenced by Commission

to a desk lighter and some ash
trays at the Anchorage Drug
store.

^ SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
ESTIMATES CHEERFULLY FURNISHED
THREE CANDIDATES
FOR GOVERNORSHIP
Recent Outside reports say
a second candidate has entered
the race against Governor Geo.
A. Parks for the governorship
of Alaska, in the person of
Capt. Alfred D. Williams, who
is said to have resided in the
Territory for 31 years. Will
iams claims to have the sup
port of Senators Borah of Ida
ho and Reed of Pennsylvania.
The other candidate is “Doc.”
Holmes, early-day Alaskan,
who has become a successful
oil operator in Texas during a
long absence from the Terri
tory. He has the backing of the
national committeemen of the
southwest. Gov. Parks, whose
term expires June 1 next, is
expected to be a candidate
and will probably have the
backing of Dr .Hubert Work,
who recommended him for the
position while secretary of the
interior and is now chairman
of the republican national com
mittee. He is also said to have
the approval of Capt. A. E.
Lathrop, republican national
committeeman for the Terri
tory.
The value of the airplane as
a means of observing and
counting big game animals was
demonstrated recently on a
flight over the Big Delta reg
ion, southeast of Fairbanks.
About 500 caribou are said to
have been seen during the trip,
in addition to nine moose. On
another occasion the observ
ers counted 20 moose, 12 of the
animals being in pairs. The
moose paid practically no at
tention to the plane, although
lifting their heads occasional
ly to look at the strange bird,
but usually betrayed no signs
of fright. The caribou, howev
er, became alarmed at sight of
the plane and ran away. The
tracks and trails of the ani
mals were plainly visible from
a considerable height.
-Copper ore shipped from Alas
ka mines in 1928 amounted to
45,349,973 pounds, with a val
ue of $6,781,655. Practically
all the production of copper
ore came from two mines near
Kennecott, in the Copper Riv
er section, and from one mine
at Latouche, Prince William
Sound.
