Gold is now being taken in
paying quantities from the
new diggings in the Cassiar
district On Gold Pan Creek
William Grady and a partner
named Ford obtained 117
ounces in 15 days. The claim
of Judge William G. Thomas,
of Wrangell, which is next to
Grady’s, is being worked by
three men and is producing
equally as well. R. D. Brun
non is producing $30 per day.
The claims of Albert Dease
and partners are yielding $25
per day per man. People who
recently abandoned claims are
now feverishly restaking them.
A late report from the Kana
tak oil fields states that the
Standard Oil Company, drill
ing on the Lee claim, is now
down to a depth of 4,112 feet.
At 4,098 feet the bottom of
the hole caved, and a strong
gas pressure Vas encountered.
Casing was put in and dxnlling
is now going on in a 61/2 inch
hole A gusher may come in
any day now, it is said.
The airplane field at Idita
rod was completed recently
and is ready for service. The
field is 400 feet wide and 1400
feet in length, and is said to
to be one of the finest in the
Territory. It was constructed
jointly by the Territory and
the community.
Two hundred cases of canned
salmon, seconds, arrived in
Seward recently for the Sew
ard salmon hatchery at Grouse
Lake. The fish will be ground
up and uq,ed for feed for the
salmon fry turned out of the
hatchery.
A coroner's inquest was held
recently at McCarthy over the
remains of the late John New
man, who was supposed to
have been fatally injured by
a bear. The jury returned a
verdict of “Death from un
known causes.” The body, af

ter three weeks of searching,
was found in a prospect hole
on Dan Creek, near the intake
of the flume of the Dan Creek
Mining Company. Newman
had evidently fallen into the
hole while on his way for as
sistance, and was too weak to
extricate himself.
Drilling of the first / of the
two wells to be put down this
summer at Katalla by the Chil
kat Oil Co., has been com
pleted, and another derrick is
also nearly finished, so that
drilling of the second well will
begin within a short time.
George C. Ilazelet, manager
of the company, said that the
new well would probably
prove to be better than any of
the others now down, and at
the present time it is one of
the best producers. The new
well was drilled to a depth of
1165 feet.
Next year, if the Sinclair and
General Petroleum interests
strike oil at Katalla and Yaka
taga, the old Alaska Coal Oil
Company, which holds five
claims in the former town, will
get busy, according to D. B.
McBride, of Portland, one of
the directors of the company.
The company put down two
wells several years ago and
struck oil, but no other devel
opment has been done since,
as four of the claims are in
dispute and the corporation is
waiting until the applications
for patent have been passed
upon.
Gold valued at $10,000 from
a two weeks’ cleanup from the
Fern mine, in the Willow
creek district, was recently on
exhibition at the Bank of Alas
ka, at Anchorage .The gross
returns from the mine for the
past month were approximate
$25,000. The company is now
preparing to cyanide the tail
ings which have accumulated
during the past 18 months.
A rehearing of the appeal in
the Booth Fisheries Co. trap
case has been denied the gov
ernment by the Circuit Court
of Appeals at San Francisco.
The original trial was had at
; Juneau last year. The Booth
Fisheries Co. was tried on a
charge of violating the new
Alaska Fisheries Law in that
it maintained a trap within
500 yards of the mouth of a
small unnamed stream at
Lucky Cove, near Ketchikan.
A jury found the company
guilty and the case was taken
on appeal to the Circuit Court
of Appeals. Recently the judg
ment in the case was reversed
by that body, which held that j
the court had erred in in-;
structing the jury as to the
method of determining the1
mouth of a stream. The Appel
.ate Court held, in effect, that
by law the Secretary of Com
merce was directed to mark
the mouths of salmon streams
around which it is-desired to
establish prohibited fishing
areas. The government then
petitioned the Circuit Court
for a re-hearing of the case,
which petition has been de- j
nied by the court, according ^
to advices just reaching Jun
eau.
A shipment of beaver and
muskrats, the first sent to i
stock the island of Kodiak by
the Alaska Game Commission,
went westward recently. The
shipment consisted of three
beavers and nine rats. Others
are to follow until the full
amount has been reached, i
which is forty beavers and 70
rats. The animals are all be
ing sent from Cordova.
With a $6,500 gold brick
from the Lisianski mine, J. H.
Cann arrived in Juneau recent
ly. The brick represents the
cleanup from single shift op
erations for 29 days. Most of
the ore thus far milled this
year has come from the Annex
group. Lack of air pressure
has cut down the mining in
the El Nido, but this difficulty
will be overcome shortly, Mx‘.
Cann said. At present 25 tons
of ore are being ti-ammed
daily and about 20 tons are
being milled. Additional help
is being secured and a double
shift will be maintained in
both mine and mill. This
force will be maintained
through to the end of the
season.
H. S. Forgeron and C. L.
Lake, geologists representing
the Superior Oil Company of
California, are enroute for
Katalla, where they will in
vestigate the oil structures in
that region. They have just
completed a survey of the Cold
“Bay field.
Mushers coming out of Mc
Kinley Park report that the
trails are lined this summer
with dead caribou. The cause
of death of the animate is not
known. Some of the prospect
ors believe that death is caus
ed by a fly that lays an egg
under the skin along their
backs, which grow-j into the
size of a marble and then
drops out. They also report
that they have observed many
heads where a fly had enter
ed the nostrils and deposited
an egg as high up as it could
go, and which had developed
into a black headed bott. To
this cause they attribute the
loss of smell in the animal in
the spring of the year, and
during this time they are more
stupid than at any other
time. Thousands of these ani
mate are perishing to one
killed by an Alaskan for food.
Final sailing dates out of Ne
nana for upper and lower Yu
kon River points have been
announced. For Innoko and
Iditarod River points, Sep
tember 16 is the last sailing,
while the American Yukon
Navigation Cor.nnny, advises
that for upper Yukon travel
September 20 is approximate
ly the final sailing date.
Full grown fir trees buried
200 feet below the surface of
the earth are run across quite
frequently in the placer work
ings at Inmachuk, adjacent to
Deering, in the Kotzebue
Sound distrct, according to H.
L. Stoll, manager of a gold
mining concern in that dis
trict. The deepest shaft on the
Seward Peninsula, 200 feet
deep has been dug on his
property, penetrating through
a lava bed to the pay dirt be
low, which is fairly rich.
