BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
1 Andrew Dreher, a pioneer of
(Haines and a baker by trade,
'died recently from shock, the
result of being heid up by rob
bers in his place of business.
W. L. Paul, who recently
bought the Skagway Alaskan
plant, has moved it to Ketch
ikan, where he will use it in
the publication of the Alaska
Fisherman. With the passing
of the Alaskan from Skagway
the honor of being the oldest
continuously published paper
in Alaska falls to the Nome
Nugget.
The Fox News and Film Cor
poration of New York is very
much interested in the pros
pect of taking scenes in Alaska
according to a letter received
by the Anchorage Chamber of
Commerce.
Victor Sibella, a very well
known pioneer of the North,
died at the Pioneer Home in
Sitka recently. He came North
with the Dawson stampede in
1897, mined there very suc
cessfully until 1904, when he
followed the stampedes to
Fairbanks and Tanana. Later
he settled in the Kuskokwim,
where he became disabled and
was transferred to the Pioneer
Home in October, 1923.
Mattie Unluck, an Eskimo
girl, recently made the trip all
the way from False Pass, Alas
ka, to Seattle to inform Ernest
B. Little, a World War veteran
now sick in a Tacoma hospital,
that a gold claim which he
staked near False Pass last
summer is turning out rich.
Mattie was prompted to make
the jouney by Little’s kindness
to her people.
Havoc was wrought among
the sea lions along the British
Columbia coast by the govern
ment patrol Givenchy, which
recently completed a two
weeks crusade of slaughter
against these destructive an
jimals. Armed with one ma
chine gun and a number of
rifles the crew worked along
the productive salmon areas at
Pearl and Virgin rocks, op
posite Rivers Inlet. Approx
imately 2,500 sea lions were
killed. Some of the carcasses
were recovered and the hides
removed so that experiments
might be made to see if they
can be used for profitable
commercial purposes.
J. W. Smart, a pioneer of the
Yukon, died recently in Daw
son. Mr. Smart, who was 81
years old, had one of his hands
imangled in a wood saw and
(failed to recover from the ef
fects of his injuries.
Dick Kerwood, former resi
dent of Cordova, was instantly
killed recently while engaged
in movie stunt flying near Hol
lywood, Cal. Kerwood fell
while lowering himself on "a
rope ladder beneath a plane.
He fell into a canyon and the
body was not recovered until
after a long search.
Jud Williamson, for many
years a resident of Fairbanks,
died recently in the Tan ana
camp from heart trouble, from
which he had long been a suf
ferer.
The Cordova city council has
called a special election for
December 9 to decide the
question whether or not the
town of Cordova shall issue
bonds in the sum of $50,000
for the purpose of construct
ing and equipping a public
school building.
One of the brakemen on the
Alaska railroad recently re
ported at Anchorage that his
train encountered a large herd
of caribou on the track near
mile 328. The animals seemed
stubborn and it was only after
the slowing down of the train
and a little more than gentle
persuasion that they scattered
and took to a creek alongside
the right of way.
ALASKAc JUNEAU TRYING
FOR PROFIT OF 45 CTS. TON
The Alaska Juneau mine has
boosted its average daily pro
duction from 2330 tons in 1917
to 8250 tons so far in 1924 and
has also reduced its milling
cost from 71 cents in 1917 to
25 cents this year, according
to a statement made before
the Juneau chamber of com
merce by P. R. Bradley, gen
eral manager and consulting
engineer. Mr. Bradley said
that in September this year an
average of 9.45S tons of ore
had been milled daily at a
cost of 20 cents per ton. The
company operated at a deficit
until 1920, paying net only its
operating and development ex
penses but also its interest
charges with borrowed money.
So far this year the operating
profits have been $311,918.
Briefly outlining the plans of
the company for the future
Mr. Bradley said it3 ultimate
goal was 400,000 tons to be
handled monthly at a cost of
20 cents a ton, having an aver
age value of 65 cents a ton,
leaving a profit of 45 cents
per ton.
