CM SUTHERLAND
NOMINATED BE
8IG MAJORITY
Practically complete election re
turns show that Dan Sutherland,
Delegate to Congress, has been re
nominated by an overwhelming!
majority, carrying every precinct
in Alaska with the exception of
Ketchikan, Cordova, (James L.
Galen’s home town) and the Cop
per River precincts. Sutherland
received a substantial majority in
Seward, the home of Thomas B.
Drayton, the third candidate. The
results, in which there will be but
few minor changes, are: Sutherland
3678; Galen, 1791; Drayton, 136,
For the Territorial Senate Frank
Aldrich received about 150 more
votes than A. P. KashevarofF,
For the Territorial House the
three sure winners are Shepard,
Grant and Cole. There is a close
race between Maltby of Ketchikan
and Polley oi Sitka for fourth place,
with the odds favoring Polley.
The result will probably only be
known when the official re-count
js made.

mer Governor Thomas Riggs will
come back to Alaska next June.
He is interested in properties in
the Hyder district, and will make a

expects to spend some time in Ju
neau during the summer. Governor
Riggs has been associated with
Frederic R. Coudert of New York

INDEPENDENCE LOOKS
DETTER THAN EVER
S. P. Fitzgerald came down Mon
day from the Independence with a
sack of ore representing an average
across 15 feet of the lode upon
which development work has been
carried on during the past six weeks
The ore is principally fine-grained
steel galena and fine iron pyrites,
with some samples showing more
iron oxide and silver bromide. The
work consists of an open cut and
short tunnel crosscutting the No. I
ore zone at 3200 feet elevation. The
width of the ore body is not known
as the work thus far done has dis
closed neither wall.
F. G. WINKLER TELLS
OF MEETING HOLDEN
F. C. Winklei of Victoria, who
owns considerable mining property
in the Salmon basin and spends the
summers here, recently threw an
interesting side-light on the tragic
death of James Holden, trapper,
whose body was found in his camp
between Bowser lake and Tide lake
last March.
“I was prospecting in the Port
land Canal country last summer,”
said Mr. Winkler to a Colonist re
porter, "and the first week in Sep
tember, with two others, made a
trip in to Tide lake, which is about
36 miles from the head of theeanal.
We had crossed Long lake glaoier
and were working down into the
valley of Tide lake when we met
Holden, who was on his way to Hy
der, Alaska, for a new pair of long
boot9. These he had on were nearly
worn off his feet.
“He said he had quarrelled with
his partner, Godfrey Anderson (who
discovered Holden's body) and had
decided to work separately; that he
would camp about five mbes from
Anderson, and would prob..t>ly see
him once in a while. So that then,
you see, he had made the decision
which cost him his life. At that
time he and Anderson were engaged
in packing a ton of suppli- s on their
backs in relays in to Bowser lake,
and expected to get in by snowfall.
The total distance covered in pack
ing would total over 1GC0 miles,
with heavy packs, through rough
country, without trails and with
glaciers to cross.
“Holden was an intelligent man.
of pleasant personality, but with
limited experience in trapping.”
