While out for an afternoon
hike recently a Dawson man
ran onto the body of a man
lying slightly off the trail near
the old Yukon reservoir. He
had been shot through the ]
head and had evidently lain
there for some time. The dead
man was identified as Thomas
Waller, an oldtimer of Daw
son and vicinity, aged between 1
65 and 70. Evidence was con
clusive that it was a case of
suicide. The dead man had
built a sort of a cairn of stones
and brush and, evidently lying
on his back, had pulled the
trigger of his gun with his toes.
The gun was found lying on
the body and the shot had tak
en effect under the chin, blow-:
ing away part of the head.
Waller had been missing since
September 19. The police had
searched for the missing man
in the vicinity where the body
was found, but had not hap
pened to stumble over the re
mains, which were somewhat
off the trail. It is believed the
dead man had been in ill health
and this caused him to take his
own life.

A case brought by the gov
ernment to annul the proceed
ings and set aside the final
proof of Dan Callahan’s ap
plication for a homestead in
the Fairbanks district ivas
heard recently in Fairbanks
by Robert W. Taylor, register,
and Lynn Smith, receiver, and
resulted in a dismissal of the
government case. The action
was based on the charges that
Callahan had not maintained
a bona fide residence on the
homestead, for at least seven
months in each of the three
consecutive years before ap
plying for a patent, and that
he had not built a habitable
dwelling thereon.
That the predatory animal
menace is assuming very grave
proportions in the district

recently brought to Anchorage
by a fur farmer of the Wasilla

of eight timber wolves were
recently caught in the act oi
eating a large moose which
they had killed. Two men saw
the wolves in action. They were
engaged in clearing a trap line
when they came upon the
track of the wolves. They fol
lowed them and saw the ani
mals devouring their victim.

BLACK GOLD.
(From the Wallace (Idaho)
Press-Times.
Engineers and scientists from
20 nations have been in con
ference at Pittsburgh on soft
coal. The average citizen
doesn’t consider this a very
thrilling subject. It can’t com
pete for his attention with a
football game, or even a peace
conference. But properly con
sidered, it has thrills enough.
The experts are trying to de
velop conservation methods
that would make visible coal
supplies last for a: thousand
years or more, instead of being
exhausted in a few hundred
years, as they will be at the
present rate. That would be
equivalent to discovering more
new coal deposits than are now
known in the world. The scient
ist and engineer are the great
est prospectors.
Bituminous coal is probably
more worth conserving than
any other raw material in the
world, except iron. It is inval
uable as fuel, but that is mere
ly one of a thousand uses,
mostly of recent discovery,
but starters in an incredible
line of productive develop
ment. t
We can get from soft coal
fuel for our gas engines when
petroleum plays out, in the
form of liquid or explosive
powder. There are countless
dyes, odors, flavors and drugs
in a lump of coal. There is ev
en rubber, or a substitute for
it, and other materials as in
exhaustible as the resources
of chemists’ minds.
All the gold ever mined is a
trifle compared with what in
dustrial chemistry and engi
neering will yet get out of this
wonderful stuff, of which the
American people possess half
the earth’s known store.
ALASKA MINERAL
PRODUCTION 1928
Continued from Page One .
the Premier Coal Mining Co.,
and in the Healy River valley
the Suntrana mine of the Healy
River Coporation.
During the year considerable
activity was shown in the de
velopment of coal beds that
have long been known on Ad
miralty Island, in southeastern
Alaska. This work was done at
the property of the Admiralty
island Coal Co., on Kanalku
Say, and several shipments of
coal were sent to Juneau and
near-by markets.
All the petroleum produced
n Alaska in 1928 continued to
iome from the1 wells of the
Chilkat Oil Co., near Katalla,
where, in addition to the oil
.veils, the company operates a
mall refinery.
The only other place in Alas
ka where drilling for oil was
n progress during the year
was a few miles west of Chick
iloon, where the Peterson Oil
Association continued work
throughout most of the open
:eason. The well is said to
have given strong showings of
?as, but as the geologic form
ations it penetrates consists
of members of the coal series
;here is strong probability that
this gas comes from them.
In addition to the mineral
products already mentioned,
Alaska also produced during
1928 some lead, marble, lime
stone, tin, and platinum. The
aggregate value of these min
erals, with that of petroleum,
was $356,000. Most of the lead
:ame as a by-product from the
jold ores of the Alaska Juneau
mine, and the increased pro
luction of those ores resulted
n the recovery of a greater
amount of lead also.
An increasing amount of lead
is also recovered from the sil
ver-lead ores of the Hyder dis
trict.
The output of marble in 1928
came as heretofore entirely
from the quarries of the Ver
mont Marble Co., on Prince of
Wales Island, in southeastern
Alaska. The mining of certain
limestone deposits on Dali Is
land, in southeastern Alaska,
by the Pacific Cement Co., as
a source of one of the constit
uents of its cement, marks the
beginning of a new enterprise
whose development should ma
terially increase the mineral
production from that part of
the territory.
The tin ore was derived prin
cipally from placers near
| York, in Seward Peninsula,
but small amounts were re
covered from placers in the
Hot Springs district of the
Yukon-Tanana region.
1 The platinum metals came
! principally from placers in the
eastern part of Seward Penin
sula and in the Goodnews Bay
district at the mouth of the
Kuskokwim River. The mine of
the Alaska Palladium Co. on
Kasaan Peninsula, in south
eastern Alaska, which for a
number of years had been a
large producer of platinum
metals and the only one in
which these metals were re
covered from lodes, was closed
throughout the year.
