thought.
It has been announced that R.
Kinzie, former superintendent at
the Treadwell mine, will take
charge of the George R. Noble

That Stroller White of the

oil lands of the company have
been producing well and it is be

ment the business could be made
to pay. It is claimed by the cred

mismanaged. Its total indebt
edness is said to be at least $10,
000.
According to G. T. Barrett, a
pioneer of Katalla, a bounty j
should be placed on the brown
bears of Alaska because of the
cattle and game destroyed by
them every year. “The Alaska
brown bear is the most dangerous
and destructive animal in the
north,’’said Col. Barrett. “There
should be a price on his head in
stead of a bag limit of two bears
a year, as I understand the law
now is. A great deal of game
and cattle are destroyed every
year by brown bears and the an
imals should be driven out of
Alaska.”

reasonable prices. Inquire at the
