LOCAL T0PIC5
Frank Blasher left Friday on
a visit to his mining properties
at the head of Texas Creek,
accompanied by Harry Boer,
who plan; to stay at the Blash
er camp until later in the
season.
Marius Pederson, returned
Thursday from a visit of sever
al months in the south. Mr.
Pederson avers that he was not
the Morris Pederson mentioned
in recent reports from Juneau
as having been injured at that
place, although he knows the
other Pederson, who at one
'time was in Hyder.
William J. Asseltine and
family left Thursday for the
south. Reports from Premier
indicate that Mr. Asseltine,
who has held the position of
superintendent of the Premier
mill for more than a decade,
has severed his connection with
the company and will not re
turn. Mr. Asseltine is at pres
ent representing the Atlin rid
ing in the B. C. Legislature.
George B. Grigsby, Juneau
attorney and well-known lo'CTTh
ly, and Patricia Crowley, form
er Ketchikan resident, were
married recently in Juneau, ac
cording to reports from Ketchi
kan this week.
Increased interest in mining
development in the Ketchikan
district is shown by the filing
of more claims in the Record
er’s office in the past 90 days
than in any similar period in
the past ten years. A total of
95 claims were recorded, most
of them being relocations.
Alaska Births Exceed Deaths
Births exceeded deaths in
Alaska in 1933 and there were
more girl babies born than
boys, as usual, according to
records of the Territorial bur
eau of vital statistics. Births
for the year totaled 856, !of
which 425 were male and 431
female.
Male deaths exceeded those
of females by approximately
two to one, due to, the much
larger male population of the
Territory since the country was
settled.
New Commissioners Named
District Judge George F.
Alexander announced lastweek
the appointment of three new
United States Commissioners in
'this division.
The new appointees include
Harold F. Dawes, who will suc
ceed C. Clausen, Republican
hold-over, at Petersburg; C. G.
White, who will relieve J. J. F.
Ward, Republican, at Skag
way, and O. E. Schombel, who
will replace E. E. Zimmer at
Haines.
Only a few commissioners’
offices, including the local of
fice, now remain to be filled.
