Mrs. Pauline Crane, wife of
Fred C. Crane, formerly as
sistant United States attorney

Sam G. Scotte, who two years
ago reported the discovery of
a tropical valley in the Arctic
regions of Canada recently de
clared that white deer, small
buffalo and other animals of
the temperate belt thrive in
the mild climate of that reg
ion. The valley, he said, is
twenty miles long by three
miles wide, and owing to shel
tering mountains, bubbling hot
springs and chinook winds,
snow was almost unknown.
Scotte asserted that the coun
try east of the Cassiar range of
mountains contains gold, sil
ver, lead, platinum, oil and as
phalt. “This section,’’ he de
clared, “is almost untouched
by white men. On one unnam
ed creek I panned $1700 in 12
' days. ”

ation stock. He will raise them

ory of the Alaska salmon in

Reports of a gold strike near
Bluff City, sixty miles east of
Nome, have caused a stampede
from the latter city and dog
I teams are in great demand.
A report from the new dis
covery says an 18-inch pay
streak averaging $3 to the
pan, has been found on the
property of Merritt and Chidic.
(The owners drove a 150-foot
tunnel from the sea level.
John Ilolmberg, of Cordova,
is entitled to put in a claim for
the hard-luck championship.
Holmberg. who was formerly
employed on the Copper Riv
er railroad, went to Latouche
several months ago. There he
suffered a broken leg and
spent four months in the hospi
al. When at last able to be
around on crutches he went to
Anchorage, where he wa3
promptly arrested on a charge
of insanity, declared insane,
and was hurried off to Sew
ard, from which point an of
iicer was about to go south
with several other patients. He
was spared a visit to Morning
•ude, however, as Cordova
friends got him out through a
writ of habeas corpus. He was
taken to Valde?, where he
was declared sane following a
hearing in the district court
and given his freedom. He re
turned to Cordova to live. A
few days after while empty
ing a bucket of ashes, Holm
berg slipped on the ice, broke
his leg a second time and is

Otto Smith employee of the
Copper River & Northwestern
Railway shops, was recently
found guilty under the Terri
torial law prohibiting theft of
electricity, and was fined $250,
in addition to a 6-months sus
pended sentence. Smith was
also required to pay a $125
light bill in addition to his fine.
Smith was apprehended as a
result of investigations made
by the Alaska Public Utilities
Co., which became curious on
account of the small amount
of Smith’s bill. It was found
that Smith had put a wire
around the meter, sidetracking
the current so that it did not
pass through. While his bills
were exceedingly small, he
was heating his home with
three 500 watt electric heat
ers, used a motor in his shop,
operated a sewing machine by
electric power, burned seven
100-watt lamps and had a
small electrically operated
motion picture machine.
