Travelers report that William
J. Elliott k/ii'.v.M as “Rocky
Mountain _ Bill,” outstanding
character in the mining and
pioneering history of this
camp, for whom search was
instituted last month when he
was reported lost between
Dawson and Mayo, has been
found in an abandoned cabin
J55 miles from Mayo, accord
ig to Dawson news dispatches
of May5. Elliott was exhausted
from lack of food. He said he
lost the trail and wandered in
the river bottom for several
days until he came to the
abandoned cabin.
Elliot owns mining property
of value on Keno Hill and was
the original etaker of Keno
City town site. He is about 65
years old and served overseas
with the Yukon contingent.
The response of the business
men of Cordova to the adver
tisement recently appearing in
the Cordova Times relative to
the development of the Lucky
Strike property at McKinley
Lake, has been very gratifying,
25 people subscribing for
units in the syndicate. In fact
nearly every business house in
Cordova has made a voluntary
subscription. Work is progress
ing on the working tunnel that
will tap the ore body at a
depth of more than one thou
sand feet below the surface,
and negotiations are under
way to have a compressor on
the ground at an early date.
Already much interest by out
side people has developed in
the property, and a cash offei
for 51 per cent of the units
has been received.
Marking the end of more
than three years of vain ef
fort to locate oil in commercial
quantities, in the Pearl Dome
field of Southwestern Alaska,
thq Standard Oil Company
has definitely suspended drill
ing operations and is dismant
ling its buildings and machin
ery preparatory to abandoning
the Cold Bay field. Exchanges
report that the work of tak
ig out the equipment and dis
mantling the numerous build
ings will require several
months and it will be August
or later before the company
representatives take final
leave of Kanatak.
Reports are current that the
Associated Oil Co. has al
so abandoned the field.
Eli Dehon, proprietor of the
Pioneer Steam Laundry ar
Anchorage, and one of the
most widely known men of
the Anchorage district, was
found dead at his home re
cently. He was still in bed ana
it is believed that death ol
curred during the night, prob
ably the result of a heart at
tack.
Sponsored by the Educational
department of the Anchorage
Woman’s Club, a student loan
fund has been created there
to assist worthy students in
' the Alaska Agricultural Coi
loge and School of Mines a
Fairbanks, and is being sup
ported by other organization;
in Anchorage, Seward am
Fairbanks, and other cities it
| a manner that promises t<
bear much fruit in years ti
come. The fund is designed tf
help those students who have
made their plans to enter the
college, and during the courst
find that they need financia
aid to continue their studies.
The new Wrangell hospita
was recently dedicated bj
Bishop P. T. Rowe, of tht
Episcopal church. The new
hospital is a modern 3-story
building containing 24 been
and several private rooms wiir
baths. It contains the latest
v-ray machine and equipment
| The completed hospital cost
f $52,000. Much of the equip
ment was formerly in use it

According to in formal-mi re
cently received at Dawson
, CJias. R. Sottlemier, formerly
editor of the Dawson News
1 and his partner, have made
another rich strike of liign
grade ore on their claim nc-ai
Keno, and are preparing for
more extensive operations.
They already have a large
quantity of ore out and are op
erating at a handsome profit.
Rumors that the Copper Riv
er Valley had suddenly pro
duced an active volcano were
current recently in Cordova.
The phenomena, however, is
believed to be nothing more
than a big slide from the top
of a mountain near the south
side of Heney Glacier, about
Mile 76. The peak is about
3500 feet high, but wras not
close enough to the track to
make it possible to thoroughly
- investigate. Dark appearance
l of the snow led to tjjje conclus
ion that it had been blackened
■ by volcanic action, but the
1 theory is now voiced by rail
| road officials that as the earth
, i dropped down into a wide
, j gully the wind blew it over the
: now, giving the dark appear
■ ance. ‘

Ole Iljelvik, who was re
; cently stricken with parplvste

! an oldtimer in the inter'01
having been engaged in min
ing in the Kantishna for sev
-Pf.il years prior to entering the
Koyukuk field.
