BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Victor Durand, musician,
known to most of the old tim
ers of Alaska and the Yukon
arrived in Juneau recently
from the Portland Canal dis
trict and will remain there for
some time.
After making expenditures of
approximately $100,000 in
prospecting for suitable depos
its of marble on the west coast
of Prince of Wales Island, the
Vermont Marble Company has
discovered a high grade de
posit at El Capitan and Calder.
The company, which has been
I shipping marble from Tokeen
i for the last 19 years .expects
to place these new camps on
a profitable basis during the
present season.
Deputy Marshals and prohib
ition officers recently descend
ed on Warm Springs Bay,
Southeastern Alaska, and gath
ered in several violators of
Bone Dry Law. Dave Wallace,
one of the offenders, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to
imprisonment for nine months
in jail and to pay a fine of
$750. Maude Ponton also
pleaded guilty and was fined
$250. An unnamed woman
also entered a plea of guilty
and drew a sentence of three
months in jail as well as a fine
of $250.
Gross receipts for the U. S.
Forest Service in Alaska for
the fiscal year ended June 30,
last, smashed all existing rec
ords and aggregated $179,271,
from all sources. Sales of tim
ber accounted for the greater
portion of the revenues, total
ing $160,529.48. The receipts
for the year were approxi
mately $23,000 in excess of
1926, the previous high year
when a record of $126,943.13
was made.
Although stormy weather has
interfered with the operations
of the whaling fleet in Alas
kan waters, a successful seas
on is anticipated. The fleet of
the Pacific Whaling Co., at
Akutan, has taken 45 whales,
a!bout 90 per cent of the catch
up to this time last year. The
Point Hobron station had 90
whales.
The historic bark, Star of In
dia, built in England in 1863,
and for the last 32 years used
in the Alaska Salmon trade
by the Alaska Packers’ Associ
ation, sailed recently from San
Diego, to, be anchored at the

eau recently on their private
yachts, Somba and Triton.
Other members of the party
included Lee Peck, who is also
a writer of national reputation.
One hundred thousand dollars
will be expended in the near
future on Mason Creek, a trib
utary of the Yukon river, ac
cording to Frank O’Farrell of
Fairbanks, who is interested
in mining property there with
Col. C. H. Mason and the Col
lumbe estate. The money will
be used in purchasing addit
ional hydraulic equipment and
in extending ditches. Mason
creek is about 45 miles below
Tanana, on the right limit of
the Yukon. Good pay has been
taken out during the last 11
years, Mr. O’Farrell states.
The average depth to bedrock
is 14 feet. All the ground is
thawed.
The trolling boats putting
into the port of Ketchikan for
the Fourth of July, reported
the biggest run of king salmon
ever experienced at Baranof
Island. Fishermen report they
have never seen such a large
run of king and stated that all j
of the trollers are busy. Usual-;
ly the peak of the run is over!
at this time of the year. All j
records of the run of king sal- j
mon have been broken this
year by the phenomenal runs
at both Baranof and Noyes
Islands and Sitka. There
were three distinct runs, the
last one being called a “freak
run” at Noyes Island. The
last run there, however, slack
ened at the same time the
Baranof Island run passed the I
peak,, and now comes another
big run at Baranof and Cape !
Shakan.
The cutter Cygan recently
captured Alexander Phil’s
speedboat, with a $15,000 car
go of liquor and arrested Phil,1
an 81-year-old pioneer, near
the Canadian border.
Dr. G. C. Kilpatrick ,of Mo
bile, Alabama, was probably
the first person in Alaska to
view the midnight sun from
the deck of an airplane. Ar
riving in Fairbanks a short
time ago, he secured the ser
vices of pilot Joe Crosson and
the swallow plane of the Fair
banks Airplane Corporation
a
1 II
and set out to achieve the ob
ject of his visit to the North.
Taking off from the Fairbanks
field Crosson sent the plane
up in a wide rise. At thirteen
thousand feet, the red edge of
the sun was just visible. Final
ly, at 14,600 feet, higher than
any other plane had ever gone
in Alaska, a perfect view of
the sun was had. “I certainly
3aw the midnight sun at last,”
said Dr .Kilpatrick. “Climbing
up into the sky to arou3e Old
Sol from his bed was about
the most wonderful thing I’ve
ever done in my life.”
Albert Chisel, who operated
a taxi and transfer service at
Haines, was shot and killed
recently by Bert Taylor, who
operates a fox farm. Taylor
has been held to the grand
jury on the charge of assault
with a dangerous weapon. Lee
Donnelly was held on a perjury
charge in connection with the
case .According to reports the
fatal shot was fired.either dur
ing or immediately after a
scuffle following a quarrel ov
er a dog.
According to information re
ceived from Seattle, the Alas
ka department of the U. S.
Bureau of Education, which
has had its headquarters in
that city, will move its offices
to Anchorage within the next
few weeks.
Charles Anderson, of the pa
trol boat Iowa, had a miracu
lous escape from death when
an explosion sank his boat at
the Standard Oil dock at Ket
chikan recently. So quickly did
the vessel, go down that the
firemen on the wharf did not
know that the vessel had been
tied up to the wharf. The
Standard Oil and General
Petroleum properties were
threatened by the oil burning
on the water.
Mrs. John Renner, aged about
60 years ,a Russian native of
Alaska, born at Sitka, died re
cently at the government hos
pital in Anchorage after an
illness extending over five
weeks. Mrs. Renner was high
ly educated, and for many
years was in demand as an in
terpreter in court proceedings
in Alaska, because of her
knowledge of many languages
and ability to speak them.
