NEW LAW CHANGES
VOTING PRACTICE
Voting: practices sanctioned
by custom throughout Alaska
for years were relegated to the
limbo of discarded things in
the recent election as a result
of the passage by Congress
last year of a new federal law
applying to Alaska. The new
enactment was apparently but
little known to the general
public until the las telection.
In effect the measure discon
tinues the former practice of
permitting voters residing just
! without the limits of unincor
porated towns to vote in mu
nicipalities and also does away
with the old custom of per
mitting qualified voters to vote
in any precinct of the division
in which they resided.
Under the new law, voters
must have resided 30 days in
precinct in which they seek to
vote immediately prior to the
election and cannot vote out
side of such precinct. The en
actment also requires that any
person who did not legally
vote at the general election of
November 4, 1924, must be
able to read and write the
English language. This applies
even though a prospective vot
er had cast his ballot either
prior to or after the 1924 elect
ion, but not in the 1924 elect
ion.
The law explicitly instructs
election officials to give a
specific educational test when
ever there is any doubt as to
the ability of the prospective
voter to read and write. Voters
are also required to sign their
name, address and sex in the
registration book, unless they
are physically unable to do so.
HUGE COPPER
DEPOSITS IN THE
ILLIAMNA DISTRICT
One hundred miles of rail
road will open up the biggest
copper territory of the North,
and one of the biggest in the
world, according to O. B. Mil
lett, who owns property on Illi
amna Lake. He has succeeded
in interesting New York capi
tal to the extent that they will
send engineers north shortly to
inspect the property. There
are three big properties, all
patented Millet said. The Dut
j ton ground shows a deposit 75
feet wide and two miles long.
Sue A. Mason, of San Francis
co, is the chief owner of this
property. The Kasna Creek
ground owned by R. M. Ed
wards, of Houghton, Mich.,
shows a copper vein 600 feet
wide and 11 claims long. Mil
lett’s ground .has a deposit 50
feet wide which has been dem
onstrated along the surface
for 3500 feet. The ground goes
three per cent copper, about
$1 in gold and an ounce of
silver. It can be open cut and
steamshoveled into cars. The
Kasna ground varies from one
and one-half to seven per cent
There is unlimited water pow
er and the whole proposition
copper, about $1.50 in gold
and several ounces in silver

BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
FARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Sudden and terrible death
overtook William (Red) Boze
man, former restaurant man
of Dawson, Fairbanks and
Iditarod, and a woman com
panion, who were instantly
killed on August 29, at Reno,
Nevada, when an automobile
in which they were riding was
run down and demolished by
a train.
Alaska bears have been ac
cused of many offenses by
prospectors and trappers, but
the Anchorage Air Transport
has the distinction of being the
first to report interference with
aerial transportation, the spe
cific charge being that bears
had looted a cache of gasoline
which had been placed at Lake
Chakachamna, in the Mount
Spurr district for emergency
use of its airplanes flying in
that remote section. The com
pany sent one of its planes to
the Stony River district recent
ly with a cargo of supplies
iui a. uaier, ana on tne return
flight to Anchorage the plane
stopped at the lake to fill its
fuel tanks from the cache.
Gasoline cans were found
strewn around in all directions
and most of them had lost all
of their contents through holes
which had been clawed in
them by the bears. But for the
fact that the plane had some
gas remaining in the tanks
when the landing was made,
Pilot Merrill and Mechanician
Cope would have found it nec
essary to walk home.
Enormous gas pressure en
countered in the well which is
being drilled in the Chicka
loon district by the Peterson
Oil Association, under the di
rection of Captain Ivan Peter
son, caused some delay in the
work recently, but everything
is running along smoothly
again. The pressure of gas
crushed the casing at the bot
tom of the well, kinked the
drilling cable and pushed the
string of tools up 825 feet in
the casing. This necessitated
the pulling of the casing, but
it has since been replaced
and drilling resumed.
The Petersburg Alaskan, pub
lished by the Alaska Native
Brotherhood, is authority for
the statement that Justin Hard
ing, U. S. Attorney for the
First Division, is an active can
didate for the judgeship in
Southeastern Alaska, and is
hoping to land the job with the
assistance of U. S. Marshal
A1 White and that official’s
Idaho friends. The Alaskan
considers it doubtful, however,
if an appointment is made un
til after the presidential elect
ion. The Alaskan also says
that James Wickersham is re
garded as being a formidable
candidate for the post.
A re-alignment of game ward
ens that bring new men to
Juneau, Fairbanks and Fort
Yukon, has been announced at
Juneau. Frank Dufresne of
Fairbanks is to be stationed at
Juneau; Sam White, formerly
of Fort Yukon, will take over
the Fairbanks post, and Geo.
W. Taylor succeeds White at
Fort Yukon.
With seven gravel dredges at
work extracting gold in the vi
cinity of Fairbanks, things are
looking up in that section.
The installation of the dredges
has revived the town of Fair
banks to such an extent that

William L. Paul, prominent
attorney, has issued a state
ment in which he claims that
the Ketchikan school board is
not within its rights in charg
ing tuition for attendance at
school of children residing out
ude the corporate limits of
the town. Mr. Paul says there
is no law which gives school
boards in Alaska the right to
charge tuition and the attempt
on the part of the Ketchikan
ichool board is unlawful.
Mrs. Nellie Neal Lawing, who
conducts a resort at Lawing, on
Xenai Lake, and who is a hunt
ess of renown, bagged a giant
moose in her front yard re
cently.
A 12-pound brick of gold was
received in Seward recently
from the Nuka Bay property
of Babcock & Downey, mak
ing 37 pounds of the precious
metal produced this season
'rom that property. This
amount was taken out of 150
tons of ore and .probably as
much remains in the tailings,
and could be recovered when
they install a new concentrat
ing table and mill, which they
hope to complete before the
end of the season.
The body of Jerome Hatchey
was found recently onthebeach
at Mule Point, about 20 miles
down Kenai Lake from Mile
18, on the Alaska Railroad,
where it had apparently been
lying for a week or ten days.
He had apparently come to his
death by accidental drowning,
according to those who investi
gated the tragedy.
Samples of ore sent to Jun
eau recently from the Chick
amin district, showed excel
lent values in gold, silver and
lead. The samples were taken
from properties located by E.
Jean Norman and J. E. Seller
ington. D. B. Stewart, United
States mining inspector, who
made an inspection of the dis
trict a year ago, declared the
mining belt of the Portland
Canal district, around Hyder
and Stewart extended into the
Chickamin district.
The body of a man named
Murphy was found recently in
Ophir Creek in the Council
district. Murphy disappeared
mysteriously six years ago,
and it was believed that he
had been drowned in Ophir
Creek while crossing the
stream.
Information is desired con
cerning the whereabouts of H.
V. Morton.
Information is also desired of
Per Perrson, a native of Swed
en, who came to Alaska in
1905. He is of small staure, has
a black moustache. Any in
formation of the above parties
should be sent to the Govern
or’s Office at Juneau, Alaska.
Every one will be at the big
benefit dance next Saturday.
