Joe Jackson Again In News
After a short season of ob
scurity insofar as tho press is
concerned, Joe Jackson, form
er local character and reputed
discoverer of the mineral re
sources of Texas Creek in this
disbric;. has a>10.in broken ini'
newspaper pr mi ence; t'l.v
time at Wrangell, Alaska.
Joe, who is also known by
his self-chosen non’eplume of
“Millionaire Kid," recently ap
peared at Wrangell enroute to
his placer holdings on Thibert
Creek in the Telegraph Creek
country and gained some new
publicity by detailing his ac
tivities to the local newspaper.
Among other things, Jackson
reported that he was taking in
a highly perfected type of mo
tion picture camera and
planned to bring back a dis
play of pictures which he de
clared would be in the nature
•of a “treat.” He was also said
to have a complete projection
outfit to show them.
From which it may be in
ferred that Joe is perhaps de
veloping a new “line” to add to
his already ample and ingen
ious store of publicity stunts.
