{ Indian Fox Poacher
Caught Redhanded
Killed By Warden
Ole Haynes, a watchman em
ployed on the San Juan fox
ranch on an island in the
vicinity of Pybus Bay, shot
and killed an Indian named
Billy Gray recently. According
to Haynes and others, who
witnessed the killing, the In
dian had a dead fox and a gun
in his hands when killed.
It appears that Gray and an
other Indian arrived on the is
land two days before the
shooting and made a camp.
Both carried guns. Haynes
watched them one day and
then called on three neigh
bors to accompany him to the
camp as he did not care to ac
cost the Indians alone. When
they reached the camp only
one Indian, Gray, was in sight.
He was carrying a rifle and a
dead fox He refused to halt
when ordered to do so and
made as though to turn his
gun on the party when Haynes
fired, killing him instantly.
New Alaska Wonder
- Discovered In The
Chatinika Country
Alaska is rich in natural
history marvels. We have the
web-footed cat the ski-horned
sheep, the ice worm, the por
cupine owl, the snow-shoe rab
bit and the fish with- gizzards,
j but the latest story comes from
| the Chatinika, where the
|scoop-billed ptarmigan roams.
!The birds are equipped with a
1 bill about three inches across,
J with a pouch of some mem
branous substance, used by the
; birds in their annual migrations
I to the Arctic coast. Just before
the flocks migrate, it is said,
they fill their long bill and
pouch with blueberries, thus
Insuring steady flight without
stopping for ^ food.—Valdez

Alaska Infant Upsets Theories
Of Ike Medical Wise Men
i A recent issue of the. San
Francisco Bulletin tells the
following interesting story of
how Nancy Marquette Shoup,
daughter of United States
District Attorney Arthur G.
Shoup,of Juneau, is upsetting
all medical theories, respect
ing tiny mortals who open
their eyes on this mundane
sphere in advance of the an
ticipated time.
“Fed with an eye-dropper,
cuddled in an electric warm
er, and watched hourly by
nurses, Nancy Marquette
Shoup, a pound and a half
baby, has at last clamped
firm fingers on the rim of life
at Wakefield Sanatorium and
chinned herself into health.
“Doctors looked at the little
prematurely born mite and
shook their heads. Today the
vest pocket mite defies them
all and coos and croons in dim
pled content, a husky little
specimen of humanity.
“The baby is the daughter
oi Mrs. Arthur G. Shoup, wife
of the United States District
i
Attorney at Juneau, Alaska.
Prior to the baby’s birth Mrs.
Shoup developed scarlet fever
and she was rushed to San
Francisco from tho' :ar north
to save her life.
“Almost immediately after
her arrival here the baby was
born—weeks before she was
due.
Medical science declares bab
ies of three pounds or less
cannot live.
“But the midget did not run
to form. Despite a total ab
sence of life when she appear
ed on earth, she still breath
ed.
| “Milk was fed to the baby
I with an eye-dropper. It was
warmed artificially and guard
ed.
“Finally the baby began to
jg'at fat, to kick about and
[take meals like a regular
[baby. Then every one knew
I the crisis had passed.
“doctors say the baby will
attain normal weight wiihiif a
short time now.”
Granby Company Completes Big
Concentrating Plant At Anyox
; The output of the Granby
Company’s Hidden Creek mine
j at Anyox achieved a tonnage
output in January second only
to that of May, 1921, the lar
gest in the history of the com
pany operations, according to
a Vancouver paper.
The journal say3 the output of
the mine for the Japuary per
iod was 87,509 tons, as against
the record tonnage of 88,075
jtons of two years ago. During
the month of April 1922 the
‘output of the mine was 87,434,
v. hila in January, 1918 the pro
d iction amounted to 85,932
tons. The company recently
c mpleted the installation of a
° o concentrating plant, at a
:.)st of 8750,000. The plant in
e pecially designed to treat
the low grade ore of the Hid
djn Craek mine and will also
b i used in the treatment of
ores from the Premier and

Men With Large Pokes
Stay In the Arctic
A dozen men are living with
in the Arctic Circle on the
Koyukuk River, with fortunes
i ranging from $25,000 to $50,
000 in gold each,according to
1 Captain Webb, an oldtime
prospector, who, after striking
j pay came out this winter on his
annual vacation. He said
these men had married nati ve
women and settled down to
enjoy their modest fortunes
far from the vanities of civil
ization.
! They use the parcel post to
procure what luxuries their
I tastes demand and they seem
to have no desire to leave
their polar wilderness.
Only when some prospector
makes a final clean-up and
turns his dust in at some bank
;can an estimate be made of
,the amount of gold being ta
ken from the Arctic creeks.
Captain Webb was accom
panied by a man who carried
jfour suitcases, each contain
ing .a portion of his clean-up,
je: timated to total $40,000.
