ALASKA NOTES
A number of Nome business
men recently started the or
ganization of an airplane
| transportation company, with
the object of purchasing one
or more planes to carry passen
gers and freight to the camps
of Seward Peninsula.
Forty tons of Tanana Valley
j grown wheat were recently
| converted into flour at the mill
| of the Tanana Valley Agrl
; cultural Association in Fair
banks. The flour will be dis
tributed to local merchants
and restaurants.
The discovery recently of a
3-foot vein carrying values
langing from $20 to $80 pei
ton was the reward of the own
ers of the Fern mine, in the
Willow Greek district, for their
persistent search for new pay,
which has been in progress
for the last year.
A deal for the purchase
of the Carlisle Packing Com
pany’s cannery at Cordova
by the New England Fish
Company was recently com
pleted. The Cordova cannery
is a five-line plant and put up
a pack of 92,000 cases of can
nod salmon last year.
Patrick McManniman, aged
about 50, a section foreman
on the Alaska railroad at Pot
ter Creek, was killed a few
days ago when struck by a
3now plow. McManniman was
working in a deep cut ana
failed to hear the approach
of the plow on account of a
high wind. Owing to the mass
of snow he was not seen, by j
the crew of the plow until
the plow was on top of him.
A movement has been launch
ed by Nome Igloo No. 1, Pio
neers of Alaska, to lift the ban
on commercial fishing on .the
lower Yukon River so as to
permit bona fide residents of
Alaska to take not to exceed
fifty barrels of salmon each
during the season. A resolution
appealing to the Bureau of
Fisheries to modify its regu
lations was adopted by the
Igloo recently and Pioneers
throughout the territory are
being urged to support the
movement, the purpose of
which is to permit the taking
of sufficient salmon to supply
the needs of communities

GEOGRAPHIC BOARD
NAMES LOCAL PEAK
AND GLACIERS
Announcing the naming by
the Geographic Board of eight
peaks along the International
Boundary line between Alaska
and Canada after American
members of the Boundary
Commission, a recent Wash
ington press dispatch reports
that the huge, 4,600-foot peak
of the Lincoln range west of
and overlooking Hyder has
been named Mount Hinckley,
after Earl W. Hinckley, late
local Immigration Inspector,
who was killed by falling from
a cliff on the mountain last
year.
The Geographic Board has
also given the names of Gray
Glacier and Red Glacier to
two glaciers a few miles north
of Hyder because of the color
of the boulders which strew
their moraines. Another glac
ier in the same locality has
been named Green Point glac
Driving a team of nine wolf
dogs across the finish line al
most exactly six hours from
the time he started on the 5b
rnile grind, Jack Mutchler, ot
Tacotna, won the annual Fair
banks Dog Derby on February
12, and the first prize of $750.
Fred Stickman was 5 minutes
and 45 seconds behind the
winner, and George Nollner,
of Ruby took third money,
coming in 36 minutes and 59
"conds behind Mutchler. The
second prize was $350 and the
■bird $150.
Residents of McCarthy are
a-Stating for the construction
of an airplane landing field
near the town. It is pointed
out that with such a field
airplanes could operate be
ween there and Chisana and
Dawson, and it is believed
there is business enough in
ight to warrant such a sei •
vice.
The Alaska Consolidated
Fisheries recently petitioned
the Federal Power Commission
i>:or a license to construct a
power plant on Chomley creek,
in the Tongass National Forest.
The project includes the con
struction of a dam impound
ing 160,000 cubic feet of wat
er, and a wooden pipe 3,500
feet long. The power is to be
utilized for canning.
Drilling for oil is preceding
steadily on the Sullian prop
erty in the Yakataga district,
according to late reports from
that field. It is said the drill
is now down over 1100 feet
and that the signs are more en
couraging than ever. A large
hipment of casing arrived re
cently which is regarded asln
dicating that operations will
continue until oil is brought
in or it is demonstrated there
is no oil.
The Criswell-Adams Tourist
Agency has already booked
a party of thirty tourists foi

of July.
