BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Pete Nickloff and partners
made a lucky quartz strike on
Ester Dome this season. They
have located a ledge on the
St. Patrick Creek divide, the
vein being about four feet
wide and showing values of
from $20 to $30 in free gold.
They expect to do develop
ment work during the winter
and plan to have enough ore
out for a mill run in the spring.
Application for oil permits in
the Yakataga fields have been
filed in the Anchorgae Land
Office recently by the follow
ing: Andrew. J. Millison, Jun
eau; J. B. Itobbertson, Seattle;
Ever J. Olsen, Juneau; G. W.
Branch, Seattle; Frank A. Al
drich, Juneau; Harold hi.
Smith, Juneau; P. K. Clausen,
Juneau; H. F. Preston, Jun
eau. An application for a per
mit in the Kamashak field
was filed by Miss Margaret
Curtin, Casper, Wyoming.
Henry Feldman, of the P’air
banks Creek hard rock belt,
reports that present conditions
point to a prosperous season
next year in his district. A 2,
600 foot tunnel has been com
pleted lately on the Crites and
Feldman property and they
now have 500 feet of ore above
them. They expect to com
mence work early in the spring
and to work steadily througn
out the summer.
George Adset, an oldtipier of
the vintage of ’93, in the Dease
Lake section of the Cassiar dis
trict, British Columbia, is re
ported to have hit it rich on
his ground at the foot of Dease
Lake. Mr. Adset has been
working this ground, on a lim
ited scale, for years, but on
account of the fact that it was
impossible to get proper drain
age, failed to get the real pay
streak. This season, however,
he employed a drilling rig, and
has found good money.
With the prediction that
next spring will probably see
construction work resumed on
the Alaska Anthracite rail
road at Katalla, H. C. Blunk
recently left Cordova for Cali
fornia. He said he was positive
that the recent litigation in
New York, involving the line,
will have no effect on its re
organization.
“Come at once. Oil blew in
on the 6th of October. Experts
declare well will exceed aii
expectations." This was the
gist of a telegram received re
cently by Gus Borgen, well
known resident of Seward,
from Arizona, where he holds
considerable stock in an oil
company, located near Palo
Alto. Mr. Borgen left on the
steamer Yukon for the states,
en route to the oil fields.
Word of the total destruct
ion of his 4-room dwelling at
the Jualin mine, in Berners j
Bay, by fire was brought to j
Juneau recently by J. W. Dud
ley. His supplies for two
months had been taken to the
camp, two miles from the
house when the fire broke out,
probably caused by a defect
ive flue..
A game hunt took place re
cently on the steamship Ad
miral Watson on a trip to the
westward. The game was a
number of beavers which were
i
being taken to Kodiak to stock j
the island. The animals chew
ed their way out of the pens:
in which they were confined,
and for some hours romped
free about the ship, but in
course of time all were bagged
and put back in new boxes.
Approximately 30,000 cases
of silver salmon were packed
on Prince William Sound this
season, according to Shirley
Baker, agent of the Bureau of
Fisheries. This is the first time
in three years silvers have
been packed in any quantity.;
Early in the run fishermen re- j
ceived as high prices for sil-1
vers as for reds. A total of j

trict packed silvers, including

Believing the Chickaloon oil
I field holds as much p; imise se
' any of the oil fields now be
ing drilled, C. J. Lineke re
cently located a tract adjoin
j ing the lease where the Peter
| son outfit is preparing to star:
drilling operations, and has
disposed of a half interest ir.
his claims to M. J. Conroy, F.
L. Knight, Charles Matheson
and others. Lineke reports
that drilling on the Peterson
ground will probably, not be
started before next spring. A
let of preparatory work can be
accomplished during the win
ter, but it is believed that little
time could be saved by start
ing the drill at this time. In
coming out from the Fairviev.
district, Lineke observed gas
seepages west of Cache Creek,
with bubbles tho size of a hall
j dollar. lie broke a number of
them and touched a match to
the gas, obtaining quite a
flare.
I
The First City News, of Ket
chikan, states that news has
reached that office, that
sarchlights are being used in
Southeastern Alaska, contrary
to law, in the hunting of deer.
One party claims he saw half
a dozen lights in one short
trip, near Ketchikan.
Officer Wishaar, of the U. S.
cutter Bear, which recently ar
rived in Seattle from its annual
Bring Sea patrol, said that the
Eskimos now rarely practice
open polygamy, owing largely
to the activities of the coast
guard, but a wholesale ex
change sometimes takes place,
usually at a feast after the
capture of a whale, when ev
ery body exchanges wives. Ac

„he commander of the
: natives along the Bering ii-a
«id Arctic Ocean are prospei
A special to the Nome Nug
get from Wainright, stages
;hat the natives of that section
ire generally prosperous, the
•eindeer herds increasing and
loing well, the fur catch of
he season up to the average
aid the sea hunting very su„
lessful this summer. Two
whales were killed, one w.th
10*/2 foot bone; over 50 wal
'us were secured, averaging
iver 1,000 pounds of meat to
'ach carcass, and Oogarook
xnd seal were secured in un
usual quantities, while the be
lugas —white whales— were
.nore numerous than for many
/ears. Twenty-three white
vhale3 were killed in one day
vithin half a mile of shore,
md the next day ten more,
were added to the numbei.
The coal in the vicinity of the
village is a valuable asset.
Within 24 miles there are
three mines. A vein about 8
cet thick lies parallel to the
water’s edge, and extends for
ver two miles along the shore.
Herring packers ,on Prince
William Sound are not behind
a movement recently initiated
in Seattle for for an early clos
ing of the herring season, ac
cording to H. H. Hungerford,
of the Bureau of Fisheries. He
said that the opinion was that
rhe brokers are backing the
movement as a ruse to control
the market. Mr. Hungerford
also said that hrring around
Sawmill bay have picked up,
the fish being bigger and of
good quality, 83 pea' cent of
them being suitable for salt
ing. The pack this year was
double that of last year.
