BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
More fish were marketed in
Prince Rupert during August
than in any month in the
history of the port. Total sales
amounted to 3,842,500 pounds.
Harry Jordan, well known
and popular old-timer, who
came north in’96, was recently
admitted to the Pioneer’s home
at Sitka. He suffered a stroke
of paralysis several years ago.
Frank Manly and his asso
ciates offered last spring to
dispose of their placer hold
ings on Cleary Creek in the
Fairbanks district for $60,000.
They were offered $30,000 but
refused. During the past open
season they cleaned up $250,
000 from the ground.
Fairbanks was recently visit
ed by the worst epidemic of
robberies in the camp’s history.
Two robberies on rifth Street
netted the hold-up’s $225 and
$128, respectively. The Cal
ifornia Market was robbed
of $60, Pete Schuly missed a
gun from his store and two
cabins on Garden Island <v re
looted. All were committed
i within one week.
_
C. H. Wallace and H. D. Gill
is recently sold their mining
property on Prince of Wales
Island to the Pacific Reduction
& Mining Company at a price
said to run into five figures.
The new owners plan to build
a wharf and start operations
in the spring. The ore is silver
lead and said to carry good val
ues.
A wild potato which, it is be
lieved, can be developed into
something worth cultivating,
was found recently on one of
the Diomede Islands in Bering
Strait by L. J. Palmer, a mem

Although found in such ex
treme latitude, the vegetable
is said to be a real tuber and is
used extensively for food by
the island Eskimo.
'According to a letter recent
ly received at Juneau from
General Passenger Agent Me
Nichol of the Canadian Nation
al Railroad, that corporation
will not put steamers on the
Alaska run next year. The let
ter stated that his company
had given the matter due con
sideration and had found it
impossible to operate steamers
in Alaskan waters next year
but further stated that the
year 1926 will find them in
the field for business.
W. N. Beach, president of
the Pennsylvania Cement Com
pany, returned to Fairbanks
recently from a hunting trip
in the upper Tanana country.
He wounded a big grizzly bear
and as the animal charged
him a second bullet stopped
him four feet away, with Mrs.
Beach grinding away on a
moving picture camera.
An attempt will be made in
1925 to ascend Mount Logan,
the highest peak in Canada,
and with the exception of
Mount McKinley, the highest
on the North American conti
nent. Mount Logan is located
in the southern corner of the
Yukon Territory, about twenty
miles from the American
boundary. Its altitude is 19,850
feet, and its summit stands al
most 14,000 feet above the
level of the surrounding glac
iers.
Peter Lish, better known as
“Diamond Pete,” committed
suicide recently in the Kantish
na. A cup of poison was found
nearby, and a razor was clasp
ed in his hand, apparently to
be used in the event the poison
failed to work. A letter was
found stating that the writer
was tired of living and asked
that all of his belongings be
sold and the proceeds be sent
to his mother in Switzerland.
! Ed. Terrill, a pioneer, died re
cently at Fairbanks. He had
been in the hospital for some
I time suffering from a paralyt
ic stroke. Gangrene set in and
one leg was removed to pre
vent the spread of the poison.
He bore the operation well,
but later began to sink until
death came. The deceased
came to Alaska in 1898 and
I never left the country. A grad
uate of Columbia University,
he drifted to the North when
the Dawson strike was made.
He resided in Dawson for some
years and then went to Fair
banks. For the last few years
he operated a restaurant.
Fire which destroyed the
four-story hotel used by the M
& M Packing Company at Sel
dovia as quarters for its wom
en employees and also as of
fice and mess quarters, threat
ened for a time to destroy the
entire plant. Only heroic work
on the part of the townspeople
I saved the main saltery build
ing and men’s quarters. The
loss is estimated at $20,000.
!The buildings will be rebuilt
| immediately.
