EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Anchorage has a Radio Club,
composed of the numerous
radio fans of the Railroad City.
It also has a new radio broad
casting station, which was re
cently given a successful try
out.
The Washington Towboat &
Barge Co. tug Wilson was in
Ketchikan recently, enroute to
Seattle from Tokeen, with a
barge in tow loaded with
marble for the new state build
ing at Olympia, Wash.
After four years of prospect
ing and development work on
his extensive holdings on Mill
Creek, in the Fairview district,
Matt Huggar, pioneer Alas
kan, has found sufficient pay
dirt to warrant the operation
of the ground on a comprehen
sive scale, and he plans to get
the work under way before
the end of another season.
The Community Chest Fund i
of the Juneau Chamber of
Commerce passed the $4,700
mark, and it is expected that
when all the subscriptions are
in a sum in excess of $5,000
will have been raised. ' Two
hundred and four members
are now enrolled in the Cham
ber as the result of the recent
drive, the largest membership
in the history of the organizat
ion.
An authentic fossil tusk of!
the glacial or post-glacial peri-!
od, with gold fillings like a
modern tooth, has been pre
sented to the museum of the
University of Washington by 1
Edward Squires, who discover
ed it while mining on Domin
ion Creek, 40 miles from Daw
son, Yukon Territory. The
tusk is ten feet long and
weighs 250 pounds. The theory
of Nathan Kresge,. museum
caretaker and former Alaskan,,
is that the relic was there
when tons of earth with the
paystreak settled down, so
that the gold nuggets were
forced into the cracks of the !
tusk, giving the effect of mod
ern gold tooth fillings.

The Premier mine employing j
22 men at their Moose Creek
property, in the Matanuska
Coal belt, shipped 100 tons of
bituminous coal to Cordova re
cently, in competition with
British Columbia and Wash
ington coals. The test ship
ments will be followed by reg
jlar shipments if the compe
tition is successful.
Arthur G. Thompson, a pio
leer member of the Anchor
age bar, has been appointed
[J. S. Commissioner in that pre
cinct to succeed W. H. Rager,!
resigned, and he assumed his
new duties January 1. The new
appointee is a pioneer of
Alaska, having first come to 1
the Territory in 1900, a mem
ber of the stampede to Noinc.

Word received in Skagway ]
recently states that Phil Abra- |
hams, one of the pioneers of <
that city, died in Seattle, on j,
December 20, after a lingering ,
illnese. Mr. Abrahams was per- ]
haps one of the best known
men in the Skagway district.
He went to Skagway during
the Klondike rush, and opened -
a real estate office, handled in- 1
surance and was justice of the *
peace, and in the following :
years had been mayor and 1
councilman of that city. Foi J
several years past he had been ’
in failing health, and several '
months ago went south foi 1
medical treatment.
The results of operations at j .
the Apex-El Nido mine during j
the past season have been |
most satifactory, according tr
Capt. J. H. Cann, president oi
the Apex-El Nido Mining Com- -
pany, who recently arrived in . *
Juneau from the mine.'Captain t
Cann brought in a gold brick *
from the past few weeks’ mill- r
ing which weighed l,714.7fc
ounces and is valued at ap
proximately $30,000. Aboui ;
$1,000 per day has been taker ;
out since the milling operatiom .c
started the middle of last sum *
mer. Mining has been chiefl\ 5
done on on the Apex group 1
and the mill has been in ope
ration daily with on shift pei !
day being employed. Operat ‘
ions on the El Nido group wa: (
retarded because of the lack (
of power. ^
'Construction work at the
Cape Spencer lighthouse i
completed and the light is now
burning, according to members
of the crew who recently arriv
ed in Juneau. The completion
of the construction of the stat
ion marks a big improvement
to navigation. The station is
located at the most northerly
entrance from the Pacific U
the channels of Southeastern
Alaska, and will be a guide ti
all shipping to Southeastern
Alaska from Prince William
Sound, the Alaska Peninsula
and the Aleutian Islands, and
also a larger part of the ma
rine traffic from Puget Sound
and the Pacific Coast, which
uses these channels.
