BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA t
All question of tunnelling
through to Portage Bay and
abandoning the Seward section
of the Alaska Railroad was set
at rest, insofar as Manager
Ohlson is concerned, by the an
nouncement that no such
change would be made, and in
his opinion the change never
would be made.
What promises to become the
third Ibig operating coal mine
in the Moose Creek section is
undergoing development by
Evan. Jones, who has acquired
a unit and has been extracting
and shipping into Anchorage a
fine quality of coal, Mr. Jones
has taken over the old Daugh
erty lease, operated during the
construction of the railroad,
and in his exploration work
has picked up a fine seam of
coal .equal to the best yet dis
covered on the creek. Several
Seward and Anchorage busi
ness men are associated with
ion. Territory of Alaska, commonly
known and referred to as the Cantu
Group, and consisting of Cantu Mo. 1,

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
ESTIMATES CHEERFULLY FURNISHED
Mr. Jones in the venture.
The body of Ed. Shlatter was
found on the Titna river sev
eral weeks ago by a native and
was taken to Ruby for burial.
It had been rumored that
Shlatter’s death was due to
foul play, but the men who
brought the body in reported
that his death was undoubted
ly due to heart trouble. Shlat
ter had gone to the Titna dis
trict to trap.
For the first time in a num
ber of years Valdez has ex
perienced a real old fashioned
winter, so far as snwofall is
concerned, but lacking in cold
and wind. There is now ap
proximately eight feet of snow
on the level, and with daily ad
ditions of from one to several
inches.
Starting three years ago with
several females and five bucks,
Arthur Barry, owner of a suc
cessful mink farm at Medfra,
now has 114 mink, beside the
many he has pelted and sold
during that period.
Constantine Beaver, native,
who was convicted of first de
gree murder recently in Fair
banks, for the slaying of Eg
natty Necketta during a drunk
en brawl at Whitefiah Village,
November 15, was sentenced
to death by Judge Cecil H.
Clegg a few days ago. It was
the judgement of the court
that Beaver be hanged by the
United States Marshal on May
29th.
Robert Holley, aged 71, a
native of Texas, and a resident
of Alaska since 1898, died in
St. Ann’s hospital, Juneau, re
cently of heart failure. Mr.
Holley came north from Texas
in 1898 and for two years
drove cattle over the old Dal
ton trail to Dawson. He went
to, Juneau in 1900 and has
since resided in that city.
In accordance with plans re
cently announced by the Signal
Corps to provide wireless
equipment in Alaska to re
place the cable, a complete
250 watt wireless station
equipment was received in
Cordova recently. It is believed
however, the Cordova-Seward
cable will not be torn up, but
will be used so long as it is in
operating condition, and the
wireless equipment held in re
serve.
Dennis O’Brien, a pioneer of
the Yukon Territory and Alas
ka, died at Fort Yukon recent
ly, following an illness of sev
eral months. He was a con
tractor, freighter and wood
hauler and had made his
| home at Fort Yukon for the
| past seven years. Deceased
was bom in 1863 and went to
Dawson in 1898.
It is reported in Seward that
the general land office will
shortly lay out a townsite at
McKinley National Park and
that lots will be sold at auction.
With the building of a large
hotel at the park by the Alas
ka Railroad, and an aviation
field to be laid out by the
Alaska Road Commission, and
with a good appropriation for
building roads the lookout for
the park is bright.
