his entrance examinations to
the U. S. Academy at Annap
olis, Md.
George Gartner, a woodcut
ter who has made his home
on Goldstraem, in the Fair
banks district, for several years
was recently adjudged insane
and committed to the Morn
ingside sanitarium.
Three fishermen, Hank Stan
aros, and O. J. and Alfred
Munsen, were fined $25 each
in the Commissioner’s court at
Cordova recently after they
had pleaded guilty to the
charge of fishing in a forbid
den area.
Charles Borge, former trap
| watchman for one of the Deep
Sea Salmon company’s traps
in Icy Straight, was drowned
on July 28. Reputed to be a
good swimmer, Borge fell off
the trap into the water. His
partner attempted to rescue
him, but was unsuccessful. The
body sank and, although div
ers were sent down within two
hours after the accident they
were unable to locate it. Noth
ing is known of his relatives.
A bonfire which children
built on the beach at Ketchi
kan, just outside of the city
limits, recently, is alleged to
hav been the cause of a $50,
000 fire which razed two
apartment houses and destroy
ed over 200 feet of board walk
and three automobiles. Sixteen j
families were burned out and
none were able to save any
personal belongings, as most
ol them were out of town for
the day. The apartments de
stroyed were the Boulevard
and the Franklin, the latter
having been just completd..
When the 56 passengers,
transferred from the Admiral
Watson to the Queen arrived
in Seattle, it was revealed that
Otto Gritzmacher, presumably
a resident of Juneau, had
committed suicide by leaping
off the Watson when the boat
hit a reef recently on Ivory Is
land. Gritzmacher, who board
ed the boat at Juneau, was
middle aged, and was appar
ently despondent.
The possibility of opening a
new sulphur trade in Alaska j
was seen with the recent de- j
parture from San Diego of the
Union Sulphur Company’s
steamer Henry D. Whiton with
a group of company officials
aboard. They will inspect sul
phur discoveries in Alaska j
with a view to developing!
them to provide sulphur for i

MAP OF
Home of the great PREMI ER 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-IP A
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.
The Most Remarkably Mineralized Area on the North American Continent, Present
ing Numerous Possibilities for Profitable Mining Investment.

Internationalization of the
port of Skagway and vicinity,
for th e convenience of Brit
ish Columbia, and incidental
ly for the development of the
city, itself, was advocated re
cently by Sir Hugh Dennison,
official representative of Aus
tralia to the United States,
with headquarters in New
york.
“Skagway is the natural port
of entry to the great Yukon
territory, and by international
izing the narrow strip from the
sea to the Whitehorse district,
British Columbia will be great
ly benefitted,” said the ambas
sador.
L. A. Levensaler, the well
known mining engineer, went
Whitehorse recently to look at
the old Pueblo copper mine.
The mine was worked on a
considerable scale some years
ago and much ore was shipped
out. Spokane people were in
terested in the property. Final
ly, for some reason, shipments
ceased and the mine has been
idle for several years. Recent
ly a reorganized company took
over the property and it is un
derstood that upon Levensal
er’s report will depend the re
sumption of operations upon a
large scale.
Articles of incorporation have
been filed in the office of the
secretary at Juneau by the
Reed Mining Co., a domestic |
corporation with headquarters i
at Anchorage. The company !
purposes to develop ground in
the Anchorage district. Utah
and Montana mining men are j
interested in the company. The j
company has an authorized
capital stock issue of 300,000 I
shares with a par value of $1 j
each. Of this amount there has |
already been issued 110,000 j
shares.
The second trial of William I
Douglas, at Juneau, for liquor j
conspiracy, failed a few days
ago when the jury was dis
missed after being out 1?
hours. The illness of a woman
juror was given as one of the
reasons, for dismissing the
jury. A third trial is con
templated at the fall term of
court. Douglas is accused of
conspiracy to import liquor
from Prince Rupert. He wan
jointly indicted with Charles
Hoxie, who was found guilty
r st March and is serving a
sentence at McNeil Island
penitentiary.
J. E. Holmes, employed by
the Alaska Railroad at Anch
orage, ended his life recently,
near that city, by pressing the
trigger of a 16-guage shotgun
with a twig, the charge pass
ing through his breast. Death
was apparently instantaneous.
Holmes’ body was found lying
beside the railroad track near
Chester Creek, about one mile
south of Anchorage. In a coat
pocket of the deceased was
found a note saying that hi3
friends knew his financial
standing, and asked that a
brother in Ohio be notified.
The deceased had been em
ployed on the Alaska Railroad
for a number of years. Holmes
employed great deliberation
in effecting self-destruction.
Cutting a twig with a fork on
the end, Holmes proceeded to
peel off the bark and trim thp
knots neatly. It was apparent
that he had then placed the
muzzle of the shotgun against
his breast and with the twig
pressed the trigger.
Petersburg’s first hotel, own
ed and operated for a number
of years by C. H. Barkdull,
who now resides in California,
has been ordered condemned
as being dangerous, unsightly
and a lire menace. Mr. Bark
dull has ben given thirty days
o show cause why the old
hotel, situated at the corner ot
First and D. streets, should not
be torn down- and removed.
John M. Adehnan, an old
timer of the Interior, died at
his home above Graehl some
time daring the night of July
21. He had been in poor health
for about a year,, but a few
days before his death had re
turned home from the hospital
at Fairbanks, apparently much
improved in health. Adelman
was 65 years old and had lived
in the Fairbanks section for
many years. So far as known
he has no surviving relatives.
