BRIEF HERS FROM ALL
PARTS OF TRE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Joseph W. McLnnen, a pio
neer of the Dawson country,
»nd resident of Fairbanks was
recently stricken with apo
plexy while standing on the
street talking with a friend.
Death was almost instantan
eous.
Equipped with skis as well as
‘egular landing gear, a 5-pas
senger, custom built biplane
las been crated at Wichita,
Kansas, to be shipped to Fair
janks by Ira Beach, Wichita
lirplane builder. The plane
:an land on ice, snow or land,
ind will enter the service of
he Bennett-Rodebaugh Air
vays of Alaska.
Three persons in a Dodge se
lan, driven by Wm. Schmidt,
he owner, had a miraculous
escape from injury recently.
when the car went off the
road in the Richardson Can
yon, near Fairbanks and
plunged into the creek, about
ten feet below the road level.
Schmidt had just passed an
other car and was attempting
to regain the center of the
road whn his car shot off from
the opposite side. It landed on
its side, breaking the wind
shield and bending the top and
fenders. It was later dragged
out of the creek by a Road
Commission truck and driven
to town under its own power.
A. X. Grant, veteran Alaskan
publisher, who is now the!
owner and editor of the Kusko
Times, arrived in Fairbanks a ’
few days ago by airplane
from Takotna. Mr. Grant has j
been in ill health for several
months and entered the hospi
tat soon after the plane landed
in Fairbanks.
An alleged plan to smuggle
Seattle moonshine whiskey in
to Alaska was uncovered in
Seattle recently when deputy
sheriffs descended upon the
steamer Northwestern a short
time before its departure for
Alaska. A hundred pints of
moonshine were found in the
forecastle, and sixteen pints
in the steerage steward’s pan
try. The steward, Jack McBiv
ett, 50 years old, was placed
in the county jail on a charge
of possessing liquor with the
intention of selling it. He was
later released on bail.
Entanglements resulting from
a conflict of authority between
government authorities was re
cently revealed in the case of
a dispossession order directed
to George Hogg, fox farmer
and herring salter of Afognak
Island. Hogg, operating under
a permit, from the Forest Bur
eau expended large sums of
money only to be confronted
by an order from Commission
er of Fisheries Henry O’Mai
MAP OF
PORTLAND CANAL MINING'DISTRICT
HYDER, ALASKA
* i -'Z . _ ;
Home of the great PREMIER MINE, with an annual production approximating 230,
000 tons of ore and a record of $10,550,000 paid in dividends to stockholders during
seven years of operation.
Also of the DUNWELL and RIVERSIDE MINES, both large and regular shippers of
concentrated ores, the former averaging 800 tons per month; and of the PORTER-1PA
HO MINE, a seasonal shipper of raw ores averaging close to $300 per ton in value.
The PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT also contains literally dozens of partially de
veloped gold-silver-lead-zinc-copper properties which give every promise of becoming
paying mines with more extensive development.

ley, citig a proclamation issued
by President Harrison in 1892,
prohibiting fishing in the wat
ers and occupancy of land or
Afognak Island. Hogg has ap
pealed to Washington to va
cate the order.
Three Ketchikan boys barely
escaped with their lives #a*few
days ago when their gasboat,
T648, caught fire and sank
in the middle of Clarence
Straight, directly off Brindle
Island. Melvyn Grigsby, son
of George B. Grigsby, Ketchi
kan attorney; Harold Jackson,
University of Washington base
ball star, and Arthur Lombard,
of Boston, were enroute to
Ketchikan from Kenzie Inlet
on the boat, when the engine
• aught fire in the bilge. The
gasboat Nigilik was near and
went to their assistance just
as the boat was sinking.
L. D. Brown, of Anchorage,
and a man by the name of Fer
guson, had a narrow escape
from death near Healy Fork
recently when Brown fired a
22-calibre rifle at a rabbit and
the bullet hit two boxes of dy
namite which had been lying
in the tall grass for several
the impact of the bullet The
explosion threw the men off
their feet and tore a big hole
in the ground. Aside from a
severe shaking up, from which
they recovered in several hours
Brown and Ferguson were un
injured.
A battle between a whale and
two whale killers, which oc
curred recently, is interesting
ly described by John Mc
Loughlin, special herring war
den, who was enroute from
Juneau to Killinoo on the gas
boat Valkyrie. Captain Wood,
of the Valkyrie, took his boat
close enough to secure some
kodak snapshots of the scene.
Warden McLoughlin reported
they sighted the whale and its
two attackers about 1 a. m. op
posite Square Cove, and about
two miles from shore. One of
the killers, he said, was appar
ently underneath the whale,
attacking from below and
preventing it from sounding,
while the other attacked from
the surface. So fierce was the
battle that the water was lash
years, and which
ed into foam. “In one round
I counted 20 succeeding blows
in about one minute or less,”
McLouglin wrote. “We circled
about them at a distance of
250 or 300 yards for fully an
hour when a fog began to
gather and we had to leave. It
was a sight in a million. The
whale at times would throw
his tail in the air exposing
about 30 feet of his body, then •
come down with a whack.
Capt. Wood who has operat
ed in local water for many
years, said he had seen many
fights between whales and
killers but none so spectacular
as this one.
Two hundred million tons of
copper ore are waiting to be
worked on Orange Hill, in the
Nabesna district, the property
of the Alaska-Nabesna Corpor
ation, according to D. C. Sar
gent, of Washington, D. C.,
who came in yesterday after
drilling the low grade ridges
all summer with a crew of nine
men, says the Cordova Times.
Mr. Sargent, who has had the
property patented for the last
twenty years, says he is going
in again next spring to drill
the high grade ore in order to
find out how much of a pro
! ject the Orange Hill mine is.
! He was forced to abandon
drilling early this summer be
! cause of the shortage of water,
as the scarcity of snow in the
Nabesna country last winter
caused a drought this summer.
He intends to pack in early
next spring in order to get the
benefit of the early snow. Mr.
Sargent and his associate, C.
L. Graves, are taking back
with them several samples of
the richest of the low grade
bornite to bo found in their
workings. An assay shows the
samples to be of 6 per cent
mineral, being high in gold and
silver with traces of molybder
num, which is used extensively
in hardening steel in place of
a tungsten alloy. Orange Hill
is a mountain of ore 775 feet
high from the river level, Mr.
Sargent says. He is not pre
pared to say anything about
the operation of the mines un
til preliminary drilling has
been completed.
