BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS. OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
James M. Shoup, pioneer citi
zen, attorney, and U. S. Mar
shal in the days of the Klon
dike rush, died .recently in
Ketchikan.
Bishop Peter Trimbel Rowe,
of the Episcopal church, left
Nome July 30, by airplane for
Point Hope and Point Barrow.
This is the first time he he has
used a plane in his missionary
work. Noel Wein piloted the
plane.
Dr| Martin Damourette, one
time resident of Valdez and
other camps in Alaska, arriv
in Juneau recently. He is in
the North in the interest of a
new discovery made by him
which he claims will prolong
human life indefinitely.

The Monte Carlo Fox & Fur
I
Co., recently brought to Peters
burg 140 blue foxes, which it
is sending to its distribution
ranch at Kalispell, Montana.
Last year this same concern
shipped over 200 foxes to the
sme point without losing a
single fox in transit.
A snake over 16 inches long,
was found on Galena Hill, in
the Mayo district a short time
ago. The reptile was of gray
and black color, had a flat
head, and the body was about
three-quarters of an inch in
diameter, and it had the ap
pearance of an adder. It was
found by Mr. and Mrs. J. V.
Sullivan, on a bank of snow,
curled up and apparently
dead.
Kit Kittles, watchman in
charge of Steve Selig’s Seal
Passage salmon trap, which
was seized by the authorities
recently when Bureau of Fish
eries officers charged it had
been operated on Sunday,
pleaded guilty to the com
plaint before Commissioner J.
W. Kehoe, in Ketchikan, and
was assessed a fine of $600,
which he paid. Following the
admission of Kittles, the trap
was released to Selig again.
With more than 100 spectat
ors cheering them on, Mrs.
Ruby Empens and Bob Miller,
of Kasaan, swam across Kas
aan Bay, a distance of approx
; imately three and one-half
miles. Mr. Miller, an employee
of the cannery, negotiated the
distance in 1 hour and 39 min
utes, while Mrs. Empens, a
i former Ketchikan girl touched
the other side in two hours
and 24 minutes. Each swimmer
was escorted by coaches.
The Alaska Consolidated Fish
Co., at Portlock, has taken on
a new lease of life, according
| to L. Kracke, who has been
appointed Alaska receiver.
The plant of the company has
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-IPA
HO MINE, a seasonal shipper of raw ores averaging close to $300 per ton in value.
The PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT also contains literally dozeift 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.

been leased this season to Lee
Wakefield of the Franklin
Packing Company, who is
moving: his herring plant at
Port Ashton to Portlock. Next
season, Mr. Kracke states, the
Alaska Consolidated, which
has been refinanced, will op
erate a one-line cannery in ad
dition to other fishing. The
company will also operate a
small sawmill with a daily
capacity of 10,0000 feet, and
a general merchandise store.

The Peterson Oil Company,
which is drilling in the Chicka
loon fields, has a hole down
between 500 and 600 feet
with the drilling operations
progressing satisfactorily. In
dications and conditions art
favorable for the discovery of
oil, but at what depth is quest
ionable.
A wireless messagefiflffffififl
A wireless message from the
Alitak Packing Company can
nery at Alitak, to the U. S.
Marshal at Kodiak, stated that
in a fight among the employees
a few days ago one man was
killed, and that his assailant
is being held.
The herring fisheries of Prince
William Sound are much bet
ter this year than last, and the
fish are much better in quali
ty, as well as fatter. Better
prices also prevail. The only
thing which will defeat the
herring packing industry this !
year may be the weather, for
if the weather is bad they can- j
not fish, according to packers j
of that section.
SIMPLE METHOD OF
MEASURING A RIVER
The Geological Survey, De
partment of the Interior, re
ceives many letters inquiring
for some easy method of de
termining the approximate
flow of streams or small riv
ers, where regular river-meas
ing instruments are not avail
able. The method described be
low is considered useful under
such conditions, says the Val
dez Miner.
To ascertain the velocity of a
stream choose a place where
the channel is straight for 100
or, if possible, 200 feet and
where it has a nearly constant
width and depth and smooth
current. Lay off on the bank
the center 50 or 100 feet of
the straight reach of the
stream, marking each end.
Then allow small chips to float
down the stream, noting the
time required for these to
traverse the distance laid off
on the bank.
The surface velocity in feet
per second is obtained by di
viding the distance in feet
passed over by the chips by
the time in seconds it takes
them to travel thi3 distance.
The average result of several
such tests, made at different
positions, from bank to bank,
will give the mean or average
surface velocity of the stream.
This result multiplied by 0.8
gives very nearly the average
velocity of the entire flow of
the stream .This is the first
step.
To obtain the area of the
cross-section of the stream,
stretch a tape from shore to
shore and take the depth of
the stream at short intervals—
2 or 5 feet. The average of
these depths may be assumed
as the average depth of the
stream at this point. This av
erage in feet multiplied by the
total width in feet will give
the area of the cross-section of
the steam in square feet.
The volume of the discharge
of the stream is now found by
multiplying this cross-section
ligure by the average velocity,
feet per second, as obtained by
the chip measurements, the
result being the discharge in
second-feet, or, in other words,
the number of cubic feet of
water flowing past the point
of measurement each second.
