13 AN OCTUPUS
Sam McMillan, of Knik, was an
Anchorage visitor yesterday and was
the source of considerable amuse
ment and" entertainment to several
of his many friends In this city. Mr.
McMillan claims the teachings of
democracy as his creed and is sup
posed to be down on the trusts," but
in this he is not consistent*, for he
certainly has a monopoly on the
freight and transfer business in
i Knik, much to the satisfaction of the
mine operators, who make that place
their headquarters as well as the
people of Knik where he is so well
and favorably known.
It has been many a long year
! since this big-hearted, typical rider
I of the Montana cattle range has seen
j a railroad train and he yesterday ex.
| perienced the sensation of seeing an
i automobile in action; Anchorage
j produced several things thht were
new to Mr. McMillan but being of
that fortunate disposition, easily
adapted himself to city life and ex- !
isting circumstances and wanted to '
raise the limit. ' i
|
Mr. McMillan paid the office of
The Daily Times a visit last evening ;
and his w’itty description of the far j
cry from a cow man to an Alaska I
miner was certainly good and worth
the money and in the retrospection j
of his experiences and early life on
the range he took the force back to
the days when the cow pony was
king; thousands of cattle ranged the !
Montana plaips and hills and made ;
them think that they too had lived
in the untrammeled days of this free
and easy life that knew no fear;
when the American cowboy with red
blood in his body accepted Nature’s
challenge and raised the bet.
' Mr. McMillan left for Knik on the j
launch Swan this morning and prom- j
ised to make another visit in the j
near future.
LAKE CREEK PROSPECTORS
MEETING WITH SUCCESS
Even from the Lake creek placer
j country comes the acknowledgement I
j of the appreciation of The Daily
| Times and the writer is crying for j
more copies.
T. Zorn, who is rocking out the
yellow metal on Lake creek, has sent
a letter in which he says that the
prospectors and operators of that
district are all for The Times and
only wishes that it were possible to
have better mail service.
Mr. Zorn is an old-time prospect
or and in his letter says that there
are more of the real old-time placer
prospectors in the Lake creek coun
try than ever before and that many
of them are meeting with fair suc
cess.
FRANK CANNON REPORTED
. TO BE OUT OF DANGER
Geo. Hershey came over from
Knik yesterday afternoon and re
ports that Frank Cannon is gradual
ly improving and was able to sit up
for a few hours yesterday and that
he is now out of danger.
Judging from tne numerous in
quiries that have come into this of
fice it will be necessary for The Dai
ly Times to issue bulletins regarding
his condition should he have the
misfortune to get sick again.
ROAD COAL MINES
SOON COMPLETED
The coal bunkers at Moose creek
are about ready to receive coal from
the Doherty mine and it is only a
question of days until Anchorage will
receive the first shipment of fuel
from the Matanuska 'coal fields.
The spur line has been laid, the
bunkers are under the course of con
struction and the coal has been
mined and ready for delivery. This
fact alone insures coal for the Com
mission and the city of Anchorage
for the winter.
Renewed activity in rail road
circles on the main line is encourag
ing; camp 156 started work full
blast yesterday with a large bunch of
laborers employed; three contracts
have recently been let and seven four
horse teams hauling wagons heavily
loaded with all kinds of supplies for
the contractors left Matanuska
Junction yesterday for the new work.
The contractors and rock men are
employing large crewaand more con
tracts will be let at once.
The track was completed to camp
10 at 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon
and Superintendent Jones says that
the steel will be laid into Moose
creek within 10 days or two weeks
and the regular run of the coal train
be established at that time, and
Anchorage will receive the first big
shipment of coal.
The new sidetrack at camp 8 is
completed and has been named
‘Farmington much to the satisfaction
of the farmers in that community.
The steam shovel one half mile
from the Juncition is handling 4000
cubic yards of dirt a day and will be
moved 2 miles from Moose creek
next Tuesday to take out 30,000
yard3 of dirt and gravel for rip-rap.
OPPORTUNITY FOR
Kenai peninsula is of interest to
the Alaska miner because of the tact
that gold in large quantities was first
discovered there. This was prior to
the Klondike stampede, aid many
comfortable fortunes were made by
the now crude methods of rocker and
sluice box mining. For a time the
working of placer minffe in other
parts of Alaska has overshadowed
its development, but it is again com
ing to the front and displaying pros
pects of an exceptional gold produc
tion. The old methods are being
supplanted by the new scientific ones,
and capital is being employed to
move the almost immeasurable quan
tities of gravel still known to con
tain high values in many parts of the
peninsula.
In the early mining days, the
greatest production of gold was
made on Bear creek, and thousands
of dollars were taken from its nar
row bed where working under the
methods then prevalent was easy;
but subsequent prospecting has dem
onstrated that the great mass of. the
creek's wealth has been practically
untouched, and mountains of gravel,
highly impregnated with gold, only
await the advent of scientific mining
to yield up their riches. Already
several hydraulic mining plants have,
been installed in this section of the
country and are being operated with
the most promising results, and it is
an assured fact that no mining dis
trict offers such inducements for in
vestments as old Kenai peninsula.
CHAIRMAN EDES
ARRIVES ON EVANS
Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, was an ar
rival in Anchorage on the steamer
Adimral Evans this afternoon. He
spent the past couple of months at
Washington and it was largely
thm-.ip'li hia eafTnrts thnf' the* emereren- i
Cy appropriation of $2,000,000 as
well as the $6,247,000 appropriation
for continuing the construction work i
of the government railroad, were se- j
cured. On account of the many |
calls upon his time The Daily Times !
was unable to secure an interview !
with Mr. Edes this afternoon hut
hopes to be able to publish tomor
row some definite news as tc the
plans of the commission for the bal
ance of the summer and the coming
winter.
It is believed that the number of
men employed along the line wttl be
greatly increased and the work push
ed as rapidly as possible, and as pref
erence is to be given Alaskans in the
awarfl of positions there are suffi
cient people available in the terri
tory to fulfill all of the demands of
the commission.
NEW GASOLINE BOAT
FOR COASTWISE RITS
J. M. Wood, who recently returned
from the outside, came over from
Knik this morning on business con
nected with his new gasoline powrer
boat which he purchased in Seattle.
Mr. Wood spent several w'eeks visit
ing his folks at Rathdrum. Idaho
and says he as glad to get back to
Alaska and get into the boat busi
ness.
His new boat is 33 feet long with
a 11-foot beam and will be named
the Spray and will be used for freight
and passenger travel; she has a 220
horsepowrer engine and came on the
Admirial Evans knocked dowrn and

ALASKA COAL IS
USED IN MINING
Sumner S. Smitn, mine inspector
for Alaska, returned this morning
from McDougall on the power boat
J. and J. after a two weeks’ trip of
inspection of the Cache creek and
tributary placer camps.
Mr. Smith says that he found
camp conditions better than he ex
pected and that the operators had
plenty of water and looked for a
record season. On this trip he visit
ed the Ellis camp on Thunder and
several smaller camps in addition to
spending several days with the Cache
Creek Dredging company. In speak
ing of the new dredge of this com
pany Mr. Smith says the new dredge
is in operation and while it has a Ra
pacity of 3,000 cubic yards every 24
hours that the company is only tak
ing out about 2,000 yards daily on
account of the shallow’ bed rock. He
said the camp of this, company was
in excellent condition and that the
Cache Creek Dredging company was
the first in that section to take ad
vantage of the law governing the
ten-acre coal lease and that they
were taking out sufficient coal to fire
their 25-horse power boiler.
Mr. Smith will remain in Anchor
age for several days before leaving
for Crow creek and the mining camps
in the vicinity of Hope and Sunrise,
en route to SeWard via the Moose
