BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THE NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
Gold nuggets, running from
25^ to $17 have been picked
out of Portage Creek, 12 miles
from the head of Lake Clark,
according to Mannie Seft,
trapper, who returned to Sew
ard recently from that section.
He says that a party plans go
ing to the creek this summer
with a suction pipe outfit. The
bedrock is found at six to sev
en feet.
The body of John Asphaug,
a fisherman ,was found re
cently in a bay at the west end
of Ketchikan. Police have been
searching for Asphaug since
May 13, when he was report
ed missing. A coroner’s jury
attributed his death to acci
dental drowning.
Although 93 years old, G. W.
Mattox ,a veteran Alaskan .ex
pects to make a fortune at min
ing in the vicinity of Unalaska,
for which point he left recent
ly, accompanied by Miss Clara
Trefus ,his niece. Years ago
while enroute to Nome, Mat
tox found a likely prospect
while stopping over at Una
laska. During the intervening
quarter of a century business
engaged his attention and it
was not until the present year
that he could devote the nec
essary time to further investi
gating his find.
Captain George Wilkins, who
recently gave up his attempt
to fly from Point Barrow to
Greenland, and departed for
the States, says he has severed
his connection with the Detroit
News, and will return to Alas
ka in about six weeks, and
(with the plane left at Fair
banks, make another attempt
to carry on his exploration
work in the “Arctic Blind
Spots.” Captain Wilkins is un
der the impression that the
fog, which at this time of year
makes it impossible to carry
on his Arctic observations,
due to the poor visibility, will
disappear towards fall, and it
is at that time he desires to
be back at Barrow, and if pos
sible, continue his work.
Dr. E. Von Zesch recently ar
rived in Anchorage from Nome
by airplane. She probably has
the distinction of having made
the longest air journey of any
woman in Alaska. She is en
route to the States on a com
bined business and pleasure
trip.
W. J. Elmendorf, engineer in
charge of mining operations
for the Kasaan Gold Co|, at
Prince of Wales Island, arriv
ed in Ketchikan recently from
the property of the company.
Mr. Elmendorf reports favor
ably on the progress being
made at the property declar
ing that the most recent strike,
assaying $50 per ton ,is one of
the most encouraging experi
enced by the company. A crew
of 15 men is now employed
at the recently constructed
mill, which has been in operat
ion for more than a month.
The first shipment of concen
trates for this year is expect
ed to go south to the Tacoma
smelter in the near future.
These run, according to Mr.
Elmendorf .about $100 per
ton. '
Benny Benson .winner of the
flag design contest of the
American Legion .will soon be
the recipient of a beautiful
gold watch, a Howard move
ment, from the department ex
ecutive committee. A design
of the Territorial Flag, which
Benny originated, is being
enameled on the back of the
time piece. Benny will go to
Washington, D. C. to present
the first flag of the Territory
to President Coolidge, in com
pany with a delegation of
