BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL

“Rocking Moon” and “Where
the Sun Swings North,” Alaska
novels, and her mother, Mrs.
Charles Willoughby, arrived
in Sitka recently, where they
will spend several weeks.
j Commercial fishing for her
ring in the Prince William
Sound area is prohibited after
October 15 to the end of the
I year by a recent regulation of
the Department of Commerce.
At the same time the depart
ment issued a further regulat
ion amending Regulation No. 3,
, issued last spring affecting
' that area, which eliminates the
weekly closed period in the
| herring fisheries between 6
p. m. Saturday and 6 a. m. the
! following Monday.
According to a dispatch from
Seward appearing in a recent
issue of the Seattle Post-Intel
ligencer an unconfirmed rumor
persisted that the inspection
trip of H. B. Earling, western
representative, and of G. T.
Spauliding, electrical superin
tendent of the Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul, over the
lines of the Alaska railroad,
was made in connection with
negotiations to buy the system.
The only significant remark
made by the railroad men
themselves was the observat
ion that “of course the govern
ment will be compelled to
grant concessions along the
line before private capital
would accept.”
A blue, man-eating shark
nearly ten feet in length was
caught recently in the trap of
the Nakat Packing Co. at Point
Nibic. It was entangled in the
tunnel, no doubt while in pur
suit of salmon. The man-eat
ing species of shark is almost
unknown in Alaskan waters.
The hills and valleys to the ]
north and to the south, to the !
j
east and to the west—in fact
the whole countryside sur
rounding the Dawson district
is ftfirly alive with caribou.
This is no mere superstition,
says the Dawson News. They
have been seen. First reports
of the antlered herd trekking
through the Yukon came near
ly ten days ago, when steam
boat men and others plying
up and down the main channel,
or on the side streams, report
ed caribou bands swarming
across the country in numbers
such as have never been ex
perienced before. Old-timers
who have been here since the
days of ’98 assert in all sincer-j
ity that never during their long
tenure of the North have they
witnessed anything like the
Home of the great PREMIER MINE, with an annual production approximating 230,
000 tons of ore and a record of $10,550,000 paid in dividends to stockholders during
seven years of operation.
Also of the DUNWELL and RIVERSIDE MINES, both large and regular shippers of
concentrated ores, the former averaging 800 tons per month; and of the PORTER-IOA
HO MINE, a seasonal shipper of raw ores averaging close to $300 per ton in value.
The PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT also contains literally dozens of partially de
veloped gold-silver-lead-zinc-copper properties which give every promise of becoming
paying mines with more extensive development.

enormous herds which are
teeming on the hills and in the
valleys this season. First re
ports of the caribou herds
were brought to Dawson by
Thomas Gwyn, veteran White
River navigator, who ran
through 120 miles of the ani
mals while coming down the
White .River. From the White
River basin the roaming bands
crossed over to the Yukon and
now they are -pressing into
every valley and creek bed in
the entire district. Approxi
mately 60,000 of the animals
were witnessed week before
last by the passengers and
members of the crew of the
steamer Whitehorse while this
ship was coursing her way up
stream. Over the past week
end reports of caribou in near
ly every vicinity poured in. On
Sunday morning they were
teeming in thousands on lower
Bonanza, and those who were
interested managed to hurry
to the scene and excellent mov
ing pictures were obtained
of the animals as they romped
across the hillsides or meand
ered through the valleys. Not
many miles up the Yukon Sun
day excursionists ran into any
number of the animals swim
ming in the river or grazing
along the banks. A small band
of five caribou appeared on
the tailing piles behind Gug
gieville on Sunday afternoon,
only a stone’s throw from the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Grant
Henderson. A short distance
from Joyal Lake, a party of
automobilists saw a band of
about fifty feeding in the tall
grass to the left of the main
thoroughfare. The animals at
this particular spot were waist
deep in the tall grass, so that
only the horns and heads could
be seen to advantage. Another
individual, who was out berry
picking on the old Ridge road
at the head of Jackson Gulch,
states that he was actually dis
turbed. by the animals as they
kept sauntei’ing by. On several
occasions he had to throw
stones and sticks of wood to
keep the leaders from en
croaching upon his raspberry
patch. A. A. McMillan, at
Quartz Creek, phoned that the

ed with the animals, while A.
N C. Treadgold states that
while journeying up Sulphur
Creek he ran into thousands
of the animals. On the Miller
and Glacier divide the caribou
are also roaming by the thou
sand. Recent arrivals from the
district join in proclaiming
the sight one of the most spec
tacular they have ever witness
ed. Without exaggeration the
annual caribou trek through
this country this season is not
only one of the earliest on rec
ord but one of the greatest an
imal spectacles that has ever
been seen.
