Thomas Vevig is making ex-1
periments with breeding mink
in pens on his fox farm at
Sheep Bay island. He asserts j
that wild mink are becoming (
a thing of the past in the fur

animals can be run in a small
enclosure. He says that they '
are little trouble to handle and
sometimes become pets. Unlike j
most animals the give their i
quarters a daily house-clean
ing.
Pete Nordstrom, shift boss in
the Alaska Juneau mine was

The organization of the Elrnes j
Gold Mining Co. of Alas
ka, a corporation, was recently i
completed. The directors are ::
Earl. R. Pilgrim, of the Alas
ka Agricultural College and
School of Mines, Z. J. Lousu'aC,
vice-president of the Evftn
Jones Coal company, of Anch
orage; R. S. McDonald, vice
president of the Healy River
Coal Corporation; Chas. A.
Mathison, director of the First
National Bank of Anchorage,
and B. C. Elmes of Anchorage.
The company has acquired a
group of claims adjoining the
Henderson mine in the Ester
Dome district, which last year
produced more than $100,000.
Development work done has
disclosed a rich vein of free
milling ore. The property is
regarded as the most promis
ing in the Fairbanks district.
The company plans to have its
own stamp mill before the
end of the season. .
The present outlook for the
herring industry is not bright,
and the coming season’s pack
may not not be as large as that
of last season, according to
Lee H. Wakefield, one of the
largest Alaskan operators in
the industry. Last season’s
pack was the largest in the
history of the Territory and
there is still a good sized carry
over on hand which will have
to move very rapidly if it is to
be cleaned up before the new
pack reaches the market, he
said. Wholesale prices are not
eery satisfactory, the top price
for choice fish being $18 per
barrel. The same fish at retail
brings around $70 a barrel.
The Standard Oil Company,
before abandoning its oil drill
ing efforts in the Kanatak dis
trict, drilled to a depth of 5,
)34 feet, according to the
April issue of the Standard
Bulletin. The Bulletin says
that the hole, which required 3
^ears to drill, was dry in the
sense that it proved wholly un
productive of petroleum. It
turned out to be what in the
)il-field vernacular is termed
i “duster.”

Alaska flour manufactured
at Fairbanks from wheat
grown in the Tanana Valley,
is being used at - the Curry
Hotel, on the Alaska Railroad,
in baking brfead for general
use. Although the supply of
Alaska flour is somewhat lim
ited, the Alaska Railroad plans
to use &s much of it as may be
available. Manager Noel W.
Smith recently received a re
quest from the Fairbanks mill
ing people to assist them to ob
tain grain from the Matanuska
valley district. In endeavoring
to aid the mill, Mr. Smith sent
a questionaire to the various
farmers in the valley, and se
cured promises for the deliv
ery of around twelve tons of
grain this fall.
In order to , encourage the
raising of vegetables along the
railroad belt and to spend as
much of the annual appropriat
ions in Alaska as possible, the
Alaska Railroad is inaugurat
ing a plan to can peas and
other commodities now pur
chased through Seattle whole
sale houses, says the Valdez
Miner. To give the matter a
thorough test the management
has engaged a man with a
team to break a large plot of j
ground near the the general
office building in which peas
will be planted. During the
past year the railroad used !
300 cases of peas. Along the
lines of Mr. Smith’s program of
opening up the Territory to
the fullest extent, and desir
ing to keep as much money
in Alaska as is possible out of
railroad appropriations, Mr.
Smith fostered the plan of
canning peas as an experiment j
believing that the railroad can
put up its own peas at a cost
not to exceed the landed cost
of outside peas.
Solly Simonson, of Anchor-1
age, recently received a check
from the Nenana ice pool com
mittee for a third of the annu-!
al breakup sweepstakes. The
check wa: for $7,582, an even
third of the net proceeds of!
the pool, after expenses had
ben deducted. According to
this, the net total was $22,746,
the largest amount ever dis
tributed. Other winners of this
year’s pool were Jack Martin,
of the Fairbanks postoffice
staff, and Alex Hagbloom, a
miner of the Chatanika dis-1
trict.

ment expedition to study the
health and sanitation condit
j ions among Alaska natives in a
j section of the Territory never
| before visited by white men,
j newas announced by Dr. H. C.
j Devighne, Territorial Health
i Commissioner.
The Territory to be visited
j consists of 1,000 square miles
! on the Lower Yukon and its
! tributaries, inhabited by Ale

the Fox Film Company recent
ly arrived at Point Hope ahd
is actively engaged in filming
interesting phases of Eskimo
life, the Arctic ice pack and
the whaling idustry. He went
to the interior by way of the
Alaska Railroad and made the
trip across country from Ze
nana to the Bering Coast with
a team of 13 dogs, traveling
by way of the Koyuktik ahd
Alatna rivers and the isolated
Kobuk country. A fine trip is

A bottle of crude oil and a
sack of samples of oil shale
from the oil district near Mc
Carthy was brot into McCarthy
recently by William Henry,
and provides proof of oil in
that district. The oil was tak
en to Kenecott to be analyzed.
The shale samples are appar
ently very rich in oil, for by
breaking small pieces in the
finger free oil is disclosed
which may be burned with a
match, the odor given off be
ing strongly tar-like. Men ac
quainted with the section state
that shale of the same gene
ral appearance as these sam
ples may be found on Dan and
Young Creeks and over an
area of many miles on the
Nizina River. Henry obtained
the oil and shale samples from
land adjoining his homestead,
approximately nine miles from
McCarthy.
