BRIEF ITEMS FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
The mining claims held b;

the northern portion of the
city of Juneau, were sold re
cently by the United State;

Seven years of penal servi
tude, seven caseb of insan

is the illicit whiskey record
of Anchorage for the past se
ven months, according to De
puty U. S. Marshal Harry Sta
scr, of that place.
James Carse, a trapper, is
believed to have met death in
the Yentna river last summer.
Last July Carse, in a small
boat loaded to capacity, at
tempted to run the Yentna
river, and since that time noth
ing has been seen or heard
of him, which leads to the be
lief that he perished in the
swift waters of the river.
Whalen and associates, who
recently took over the Tread
well gold quartz mine on Nix
on Fork, in the Kuskokwim
district, have taken out about
1,000 tons of ore said to aver
age between $60 and $70 per
ton.
Harry E. St. George, for
many years a prominent bus
iness and mining man of Fair
banks, and well known thru
out Alaska, suffered a stroke
of paralysis while southbound
on the Victoria recently, and
was taken off the steamer at
luneau, where he died in the
hospital a few hours later.
Louis Dahl, an old-timer of
:he interior, who has been fol
owing the occupation of a
wood chopper, was brought
7 to Nenana recently by Dep
■ uty Marshal Hartwig to be ex
; amined as to his sanity. He
i appears to be inflicted with
a religious mania, and is
- harmless.

Lee Lane, well known Fair
banks residents, were recently
married at that place by U. S.
i Commissioner Boyd.
The precinct of Richardson,
on the upper Tanana river, has
been abolished and the district
added to the Fairbanks record

the population has dwindled

Aleutian Islands, will be in

ing to Aman Moore, one of the
promoters of the project.
‘ There is a wonderful stand
of grass on Unimak, knee high,
I and not a tree or bush on the
island,”he said. The govern
ment has given a lease on 350,
000 acres on the island for the
enterprise, and has promised
150,000 acres more when
needed.
Jim, Second Chief, who with
his wife was badly burned in a
fire at Lake Susitna last fall, .

Canadian S. S. Line Seeks
New Craft For Tourist Trade
i To meet if possible demands
I being made for Alaska re
servations by Eastern people,
the Canadian National Rail
ways is combing the Pacific
Coast and elsewhere for a ves
sel suitable for their service
on the coastwise run, accord
ing to W. G. Johnson, man
ager of the Juneau Hard
ware Co., who returned home
some days ago, from several
weeks’ stay in the South ac
cording to the Juneau Empire.
Without a line of advertising
on Alaska tours, said Mr.
Johnson, the Canadian Nat
ional has already received or
ders for more than 1,000 re
servations, including many
parties ranging in number
fiom 30 to 200 persons. This
■ inrush of demands has forced
jth'e railroad to make every ef
fort to purchase a suitable ves
sel. It is not imprcvabl\ ho,
said, that a steaim • w'll be
{purchased in the r: .r future
for this season’s operation. By
1925, he said, the Canadian
National will have com^hted
what its traffic department
claims will be the finest tour
ist vessel ever entering A1 iskan
waters. Contracts for its con
struction have been let and
plans drawn up for it. It wilt
have an immense observation
and ball room, entirely en
closed, occupying the whole
hurricane deck’. Other arrange
ments will be on the same
scale.
36S
Fur Trappers Reported Having
Poor Success This Winter
After covering approximate
ly 400 miles by dog team
md snow shoes, Deputy Game
W arden Al.Hardy returned to
Anchorage recently after a 30
lay trip through his district,
nade for the purpose of ob
lerving the effects of the re
cently created closed season
aw on fur animals. He founa
hat most of the trappers
vere living up to the law. Mr.
lardy visited about 35 trap
>ers on the trip, according to
he Anchorage Weekly.
Practically all trappers are
cmplaining of the small fur
atch this winter, especially
narten, of which there ap
pear to be very few. In prev
ous years a trapper during
he season would gather in
rom 10 to 50 marten, but this
winter the highest number
|flapped by any one of the
t, appers Mr. Hardy visited,
|war- three.
There is, however, a consid
erable amount of mink, and
wolverine are plentiful. The
rappers in the district cov
e ad byMr. Hardy complain
' the scarcity of meat. The
’ountry is overrun with rab
b t3 and from these the main
s’-pply of meat is being ob
tained by both the whites and
natives. Where formerly were
many moose and it was no ef
fort at all for a trapper or
prospector to go into the
w >ods a short distance ami
knock down a moose now it
s a very rare thing to catch
a .glimpse of the animal.
postponed indefinitely. Firpo
says his next big match will be
vith Dempsey and he intends
o ignore' Wills. Wills is un
ioubtedly one of the best
leavyweight boxers in the
vorld today, which may ac
ount for his seeming inability
c get a match with any of the
vhite first raters.
