This has been a very difficult I
season, as everyone who could
.throw a rock has been in the

production of untrue rumors,
some of the principal ones be
ing that large blocks of stock
will be thrown on the market j
at the expiration of the pres
ent escrow agreement, namely
February 1st, 1927; another is !,
j that we have made a deal with
! Eastern capital to put in the
tramway on a royalty basis,
and another, that we are go-i|
ing to sell out to another com- [
I pany.To answer these false
i rumors, I would like to state

I more stock is escrowed for

ALASKA NOTES
President Coolidge has nomi
latcd William W. Pinkerton aa
oostmaster at Fairbanks.
George Hubert Wilkins, who
commanded the Detroit Arc
tic Expedition last year, plan*
to leave Seattle for Fairbanks
February 5, to continue the
expedition. He plans to place
the wings of the Detroiter on
the fusilage of the Alaskan
and fly to Point Barrow.
Michael J. McDermott, one
of the oldest residents of Fair
banks, died recently in that
city. Mr. McDermott was one
of the early arrivals in Fair
banks, going into that district
from Dawson about 1904. In
1918 he opened a general mer
chandise store in Fairbanks,
in which business he was en
gaged at the time of his death.
A company to be known as
the Wakefield Fisheries, has
been recently formed by the
combination of the Franklin
Company, which has operated
canneries at Sawmill Bay, Shu
yak Strait. Izhut Bay and Scl
dovia, and the Baranof Com
pany, which has been operat
ing a plant at Red Bluff Bay.
Lee F. Wakefield will be pres
ident of the consolidation.
John Thorn, 64, a miner and
woodchopper on Stewart river,
j 16 miles from its mouth, was
found dead recently. The boay
j was lying face downward and
j the top of the head was blown
; off. An investigation revealea
1 a 30-30 rifle under the body
with one cartridge exploded
! and extracted from the gun,
I and a second empty shell in
the gun. One bullet had graz
ed the side of Thorn's head,
| indicating that he missed with
! the first shot and accounts
I for the empty shell that was
! found beside the rifle. A ver
| diet of suicide was reached.
Awakened at 2:30 a. m. by
a malamute scratching and
whining, Oscar Otterson, a
miner, at the Little Squaw
mine, near Fairbanks, found
his dog, Nigger, with a pen
! iled note tied to his collar.
The note read, “Come. Both
seriously injured explosion.”
Nigger had been lent a few
days before to J. S. Shaw, who
is mining with his partner. C.
Dunlap, on Tobin Creek. Two
men started in darkness with
out a trail over a barren 3,000
! foot pass in a temperature of
; 42 below to succor the injured
j men.
| Dunlap was found blinded b>
the explosion of a box of de
: tonators and both were much
j lacerated in face and bodies,
which were shot full of copper.
The injured men were brought
to the Fairbanks hospital by
an airplane sent out in
response to a radio from the
(reccuers.
