U. S. Mineral Surveyor

Juneau, Alaska
BRIEF ITEMS FROM Mi
‘ PARTS OF THE TERRITORY
EVENTS IN THIS NORTH AS PORTRAYED IN THE
PRESS OF ALASKA
A peculiar phenomenon was
apparent recently upon the
waters of Resurrection Bay.
A heavy ground swell tossed
the steamer Alaska, the Re
dondo, Starr, Unalga, Evans
and Surveyor about like corks,
yet outside on the Gulf beauti
ful weather prevailed, and al
so in Seward. Local mariners
were almost unanimous in be
lieving the swell was caused
by subterranean earthquakes,
as it was recalled that Cor
dova was rocked by a heavy
shock a few days before.
After falling 34 feet out of
the lighthouse to the rocks be
low, F. S. Klette, assistant
keeper of the Cape Spencer
light, is in a serious condition.
Klette fell while watching the
steamship Yukon pass the
lighthouse. The flag was im
mediately sent up upside down
to indicate distress, and a
small boat was sent from the
steamer to get the injured
man.
An exhibit of domestic and
wild grains and grasses, grown
in interior Alaska, will be dis
played this summer by the
Great Northern Railway in
several of its more important
offices in the States, accord
ing to an announcement re
cently by Governor George A.
Parks. The exhibit will be
made up of wheat, oats and
other grains and native grass
es from the Matanuska and
Tanana valleys. These wiere in
cluded in the exhibit shown at
the Southeastern Alaska Fair
at Juneau last fall.
An oil well, producing on a
large scale is a certainty is
the belief of Captain Ivan L.
Association, which is drilling
in the Chickaloon field. Drill
ing operations were resumed
this spring with two shifts em
ployed. “The gas in the well
is now very strong,” said Capt
ain Peterson recently. “The
bailer often coming up thru
a column of about 850 feet of
water with a pressure at the
bottom of the hole of 840
pounds, still retaining enough
gas pressure to throw about
one-fourth of its contents over
board when it reaches the sur
face. If we should shut off
the water we would have com
mercial gas right now. Small
quantities of oil are seeping in
at the bottom and showing up
when bailing.” According to
Captain Peterson the drilling
was being done in the hard
est kind of limestone format
tion, which always overlies ex
tensive oil deposits. He has the
utmost confidence the well will
become a producer with a
depth of another 1,000 feet.
C. Z. Shallit of Nome recently
completed a trip of over 1,100
miles by airpalne, made sole
ly for the purpose of receiv
ing expert opinion on an ore
body he uncovered at his mine
in the Nome district. When

concentrated ores, the former averaging 800 tons per month; and of the PORTER-IDA
HO MINE, a seasonal shipp er 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.

Mr. Shallit came up against i
problem he could not solve hi
decided to make a trip to Fair
banks and have the school o
mines aid him. The technica
problem was solved, and afte:
a stay of three weeks in Fair
banks Mr. Shallit returned t<
Nome by airplane. He took t<
the college several samples
which were thoroughly tested
and he was given some coach
ing to aid him in handling th«
ore.
On her first voyage since sht
was wrecked at Cape Mudge
last December, the S. S. North
western, of the Alaska Steam
ship Company line left Seattle
recently for southeastern Alas
ka ports. Captain John Living
stone, who was commander oi
the Northewestern when she
went ashore, is still in com
mand of the vessel, having
been exonerated from all
blame for the accident by the
steamship inspectors, who de
clared it unavoidable. The
Northwestern will operate op
posite the Alameda on the
southeastern Alaska run.
A distinguished honor ha.*
been confered upon William
Britt, a prominent business
man of Juneau, as a token of
appreciaiton for his long and
faithful service as Norwegian
Viee-Consul in Alaska. Mr.
Br.lt has been nis-lo a Knight
of the first class of ihe Order
of St. Olaf, under royal ap
pointment by His Majesty King
Haakon VII of Norway. Mr.
Britt is one of two Alas
kans who have been so hon
ored, the other being Judge
G. J. Lomen, of Nome, in rec
ognition of services rendered
by him to Capt. Roald Amund
sen, Norwegian explorer. Only
12 persons in the United States
have received this honor.
i Joe Ibach and his wife, who
; operate a fox ranch on Lemisu
■ rier Island in Icy Strait, are
F busy on the Copper River flats
1 hunting hair seals with two
• hunters. Ibach receives $2.50
- bounty for each seal, sells the
> skins and uses the meat to
i feed his foxes. It is reported
, they caught 400 seals in Icy
, Strait, and they are making
good catches on the flats.
Two more prospectors seem
to have lost their lives up the
Nushagak river this winter.
John Savalo was found dead
on his trap line by his partner,
death apparently having been
due to heart disease. Jack Aho
has not been found yet and it
is feared he has met with foul
play, as he was in the region
where an insane native makes
his headquarters, who has al
ready killed one native and at
least one white man. Others
are also supposed to have lost
their lives at his hands.
