BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
A report from Nome states)
that the dry spell in the sur
rounding districts has materi
ally interfered with mining ac
tivities. The big ditches whicn
are used to convey the water
for mining purposes are bone
dry. The old Koneer ditch is
furnishing some water, but not
near enough for the Ham
mon Company’s a<?tivities.
OVer two hundred pounds of
rainbow trout was the catch
brought into Anchorage one
afternoon recently by Harold
Osborne, Ray McDonald, Ira
Losey, Will Clayson, Bill Win
ter, Vic Nelson and A. J.
Brouillard, after a day’s fish
ing in Willow Creek. Harold
Osborne won the trophy for
the longest trout caught, hav
ing landed one which meas
ured 27 inches.
Mrs. Mary Baronovich, of
Kasaan, passed away recently.
She was born in the old Rus
sian fort at Wrangell many
years before Alaska was pur
chased by the United States.
She was the daughter of the
steward of the post, and her
age is unknown. In early life
she married C. V. Baronovich,
the first white man to go to
Kasaan, in which village he
established a store more than
sixty years ago. He died in
1879.
Marcus Daly, prominent min
ing man and capitalist, with
large interests in Mexico, re
cently passed through Seward
enroute to McKinley Park. He
was met at that place by W.
N. Beach, of New York, and
left shortly afterwards for
Savage River. While in the
park the party will shoot
wild game with a motion
picture camera. Later they will*
go to the Rainy Pass district
on a big game hunt.
Romie Atkinson, a Metlakat
la Indian, was shot and killed
by City Policeman Van Zandt j
at Ketchikan some days ago.
According to the officer At
kinson had been arrested and
escaped, and while Van Zandt
was following him he was set
upon by several other Indians
and in the fight the officer,
was badly beaten up and At- j
kinson was killed. The Indian ,
version of the story is that At-1
kinson was on the ground
crawling away, having been j
knocked down by Van Zandt
with a billy. As a result of
the shooting a complaint has
been filed in the Commission
er’s Court at Ketchikan charg
ing Van Zandt with man-!
i slaughter.
About 12,000 fry of cut
throat trout were recently
planted in Auk Lake by mem
bers of the Juneau Fish and
Game club, with the co-ope
ration of the U. S. Forest Ser
vice and Bureau of Public
Roads. The club proposes to
continue the planting of the
' fry for several years and
U. S. Fisheries Commissioner
Henry O'Malley has assured
the members that he will ob
| tain sufficient eggs to guar- j
; antee same 15,000 fry annu
I ally.
Headed for one of the last
trading posts in the Aleutian
Islands, G. R. Gardiner, who
recently was with the Pioneer
Packing Company in Cordova,
sailed recently on the cutter
Haida from Unalaska. With
his wife he is going to Atka for
the Bureau of Education. Mrs.

ernment school there and her
husband will have charge of
the store which was installed
there recently under federal

August, that amount being
taken from the plates only,
according to Jerome Drum
heller, president of the Fern
Gold Mining Company, who
arrived in Anchorage recently
with 344 ounces of gold, val
ued at approximately $G,100.
Since June 20 over $40,000
has been taken from the plates
at the Fern mill. With the
completion of the repairs and
additions to the mill and sya
nide plant, now in progress, it
is anticipated the output of the
mine will be largely increased.
Miss Naida Johnstone, Mis3
Nita Johnstone and Master
Hal Johnstone recently arriv
ed in Anchorage alter having
mushed over the trail from
Chitina. The young ladies are
school teachers in Cordova,
with their eleven year old
brother Hal, looked none the
worse for thefir long tramp.
They left Chitina July 28 and
hiked over the Richardson
highway to Fairbanks. From
the interior city to Healy they
traveled on the Alaska rail
road, walked from Healy to
Currie, where they again took
the train for Anchoi'age. They
intended to walk from Anch
orage to Seward, where they
would take the steamer for
Cordova. The young ladies
said that they enjoyed the
trip immensely, and took many
fine pictures of scenic beauties
along the route. They said the
hospitality shown them all
along the route over the Rich
ardson highway and the Alas
ka Railroad was wonderful.
Information from various
points along the Alaska Rail
road indicate that timber
wolves are becoming numerous
throughout the country be
tween Anchorage and Fair
banks. Fred Campbell, a pros
pector of the Richardson dis
trict, about 60 miles south of
Fairbanks, on the Valdez road,
recently killed seven wolves
several of them having been
caught in the act of feeding
on the carcasses of moose they
had killed. Word also comes
from Pittman, on the railroad,
that wolves have made their
appearance in that region.
While Deputy Marshal Rey
nolds of McCarthy wa9 taking
two insane prisoners from
McCarthy to Cordova recen ly,
accompanied by a jail guard,
one of the prisoners, as the
(rain was running past Mile 89
on the railroad, became wrld.
broke from his captora and
dove through one of the win
dows of the car, shattering
the glare as he went. The
paflccngera saw him di^ao
near into the brush and tim
ber along the track. The train
was stopped and Reynolds
hiked to the nearest section
house where ha organized a
nossc to search for the missing
man. After several hours’
?earch, they finally located
lie runa-way and he was tak
en to Cordova on a speeder.
The man was not seriously in
jured by his jump from the
moving train.
Completion of a railroad
from tidewater to the e^^m
portion of the Bering River
j coal fields, and the construct
ion of deep water terminal!
and coal handling facilities
are major items in a develop
ment program of the Harriman
interests in that region, ac
cording to a letter recently re
ceived by Governor George A.
Parks from Henry E. Harri
man. Field parties to make de
tailed plans for carrying out
the program will visit the dis
trict this season, it was said.
Starr Truscott, a nationally
known construction engineer,
arrived at Cordova recently,
and left at once for Katalla
to look over the railroad and
terminal sites. The
group has been interested in
the Bering River field for sev
eral years. It owns one patent
ed coal claim and has permits
for development on an area of
considerable size. It has asked
for a final leasing contract in
order to facilitate its program
‘ of development and construct
ion. It plans completion of the
railroad from Controller Bay
to its holdings and the in
| stallation of modern terminal
I facilities for handling coal.
