ments othets will be made

The big company has appar
ently decided to locate in thpr
district and engage in one of
the most colossal mining
schemes ever inaugurated in
Alaska.
One million four hundred
thousand dollars for the conr
Struction and maintenance of
roads, bridges, and trails in
Alaska was asked for in the
annual report of Col. James
Gordon Steese, Chairman of
the Alaska Road Commission.
He also asked for $15,000 for
maintenance, dredging and re
pairing storm damage to the
jetty of the harbor at Nome.
TheWrangell breakwater has
been completed and final in
spection made by Captain P.
A. Agnew, of the U. S. Engin
eer Board. The breakwater,
which was a Rivers and Har
bors project, Was constructed
under contract. It is about 300
feet long, pyramidal in shape,
.with a flat top, and cost aroud
$35,000, Rock was the princip
al material used.
The Kassan Gold Company’s
,big free-milling gold property
on Prince of Wales Island, is
pronouced by experienced
miners to be one of the biggest
lode properties in the north.
The ledge is 200 feet in width,
a]l commercial ore that will
mill from $10. to $30 per ton,
With what is described as an
inexhaustible .tonnage.'
The finding of the Bodies of
two men, one a white and the
other Indian* in the vicinity^ of
Holy Cross, on the lower Yu
kon, was reported to the au
thorities late last fall. The
white man was later identified
as a former resident of Flat
who had been missing for some
time. There was a bullet hole
in the forehead- A silver watch"
and a few dollars in silver were,
found on tho body. The Indian
had also betjh shot. A coroner’s
i jury returned verdicts that the
men came to their death thru
Shooting by Unknown parties.
