What is reported to be one of
the biggest strikes made in
Alaska in years, was recently
made at Nuka Bay. It is said
that the gold-bearing ledge on
which the strike was made,
runs from three to five feet
thick and the rock is so full of
gold that it can be seen with
the naked eye. The Gold Hills
Mines Corporation, in that dis
trict, is working ten men and
its mill is grinding steadily,
turning out about $250 pei
day, and the rock is getting
richer and richer as depth is
attained.
The resignation of C. H. Mill
er as Assistant U. S. Attorney
for the First Division at Ketch
ikan, has been accepted by the
Attorney General, according
to word received by District
Attorney Shoup, of Juneau.
Miller has been absent from
Alaska since last December
and is understood to have
spent most of the intervening
time in Washington. Several
months ago it was reported
that Mr. Miller had been in
formed that his resignation
Attorney General. Later he se
cured leave and went to Wash
ington where, it is said, he
took an active part in the fight
made by certain political in
terests on Judge T. M. Reed
and District Attorney Shoup.
During this period an Associ
ated Press dispatch stated
pus puBjaeq^ns o^bSoioq ^sq;
Senator'1 Wesley Jones, of
Washington, had called on
President Coolidgc and com
plained that Miller had not
been given a square deal and
asked that he be treated fair
ly. Special investigators were
sent to Southeastern Alaska
by the Department of Justice
to investigate the situation.
While their report has not
been made public, it is believ
ed that the Department’s ac
ceptance of Miller’s resignat
ion was based upon it.
Mining operators throughout
the entire Cache Creek district
are experiencing one of the
best seasons in the history of
the camp this year, according
1 to Ben A. Grier, who recent
j ly returned to Anchorage from
! that district. He says the Cache
j Creek Dredging Company has
I had several satisfactory clean
ups, water conditions have
i been good, and it has been a
j most, favorable season in every
respect.
The Whitehorse Star says
that among the furs brought
! back by the steamer Thistle
from the Ross River district
j were 20 of the largest black
timber wolves ever seen in the
Yukon. These animals are in
creasing in number very rapid
ly, but not in comparison to
the coyotes. Up to a few years
ago there were no coyotes in
that country, but so far this

have shipped over 400 coyote
skin9. The coyotes have be
come so numerous that they
are causing serious destruction
among the fur-bearing and
smaller animal life of the
country.
Four young marten, born and
raised in captivity on the Gold
stein Glacier Fur Farm, near
Juneau, were recently exhib
ited in one of the windows of
the Goldstin Emporium, in
Juneau. The marten were
thrfee and one-half months old,
of good size, with a dark, rich
fur, and were so tame that
they would eat from the
hands of the caretakers.
Crowds which gathered at the
window to see them, gave the
little animals no concern.

cousin, had a charter from tha
Point Ward cannery, and Mc
Lean had been for 36 hours
without sleep. He sat down
where the exhaust from the

he was found unconscious by
a member of the crew, and re

he died.
Robert Menzies, one of the

of Alaska, died suddenly in

The natives of Alaska are
3urely progressing. The Eski
mos of King Island make an
annual pilgrimage to Nome,
where they' dispose of their
ivory carvings and mukluks,
in the manufacture of which
they are expert. They usually
make the journey to Nome in
large skin canoes, capable of
holding several families with
their dogs, and other belong
ings. The usual mode of pro
pulsion is by paddling, at
which every occupant takes a
hand. Last year, while In
Nome, one of the more pro
gressive of the natives pur
chased an outboard motor,
which he attached to his canoe
by an ingenious- device, with
the result that he beat the
rest of the tribe into Nome
this year by about two days.
