ALASKA GOOD ENOUGH
FOR AN OLD-TIMER
.T. C. Murray, a Cache creek op
erator, who recently returned to An
chorage from a trip to the states,
says that Judge P. D. Overfield, for
merly of Alaska, is now practicng
law in Oatman, Ariz., the scene of
the newest mining stampede. The
law office in Los Angeles Ts still open
and in charge of Judge Frederick C.
Fuller, also formerly of Alaska.
Mr. Murray spent some time in
Oatman. “1 saw all they had to
offer,” said Mr. Murray, “and while
the camp undoubtedly has a future,
t there was nothing there that would
induce me to leave Alaska. I went
down there expecting to invest, but
> changed my mind after looking the
pronosition over. There is a great
• deal of work going on in the Oat
man district. The miners have
flocked in from all over the country,
and there are prospect holes in the
landscape until it looks like a piece
of Swiss cheese. Some of the larger
properties have good paying ore, but
the camp is not a high grade propo
sition, as the first reports would in
dicate. Alaska is good enough for
me.’
Prof. Herschell Parker and asso
ciates have had a new boat built for
getting up the Susitna and Yentna
rivers, where they will soon start
mining with a drill.
J. D. Clark and Oscar Pish, two
well-known Valdez men, are plan
-ning to start a big clam cannery at
Pidalgo Bay.

Will ERECT NEW
P. 0. BUILDING
The people of Anchorage will be
'ery glad indeed to know that the
city is soon to have a new and com
modious postofflce. Postmaster Wood
informed the Daily Times reporter
th'S morning that arrangements
were completed whereby the Alaska
Engineering Commission would start
work to erect a postoffice on the
southwest corner of the block where
the present office is located just as
soou as the material arrives. That
the Commission has this matter in
charge insures the patrons of the
office a building appropriate for
their needs and an office for* the
postmaster that will not only furnish
enough space, but will be properly
equipped for the handling of the An
chorage mail. Mr. Wood also an
nounced that the treasury depart
ment has loaned this office 250 ad
ditional mail boxes, which will give
the Anchorage postoffice 500 boxes
; ‘o be installed in the new building.

SI':' RISK FAMILY OX THEIR
WAY TO THE OITSIDE
The far cry from the Fatherland
jearhed John Sachs at Sunrise Mr.
and Mrs. Sachs and son Edward are
in Anchorage en route for the out
side. Mr. Sachs has recently sold
his holdings at Sunrise, where he
has been in the general mercantile
business for some time, a part of the I
mercantile stock going to George
ftowell and the balanc© to Nels An- 1
derson and Herman Lutz, who will
continue the business.
Mr. Sachs said this morning that
while his sympathies were naturally
with the kaiser, h© was undecided
whether he would return to Germany
and fight for his native country or
not, but was decided, beyond the
pcradventure of a doubt, that An
chorage was some little city and was
very much impressed at the activity
and the city’s rapid development.
Sergeant C. A. Little, who re
cently left Valdez, is now stationed
at 'he Skagway office of the govern
ment cable line.
E. Mauvis, of Victoria, B. C., lef*

PRISONER ESCAPES, BUT
IS RETURNING TO JAIL
Andy McDonald, who was recently
sentenced to serve three months in
tin local jail, and who is known to
his friends as the “Panama Kid,” ap
parently did not enjoy our northern
rlirne, so a few days ago, while the
guard was busy with other matters,
the Panama Kid decided to hike for
the south. The Kid being a man of J
action, immediately acted upon his
decision and went as far south as
Bird creek, from which point Dep- ;
uty Marshal Jim Austin wires that
hr has prevailed upon the Kid to
change his mind and that he will be
back and occupy his quarters in the
jail as soon as a launch can get from
Bird creek to Anchorage.
TI RNAGAIX ARM MAID
ARRIVES ON BRIGHTON'
C.apt. Nate White, of the Brighton,
which runs between Anchorage and
Turnagain Arm po.nts, reached An- !
chorage thi's morning, bringing the
Pnited States mail from Turnagain ;
Arm points. The captain is some
navigator, and in relating his ex- j
! periences this morning dwelt upon
the fact that his last trip up the arm
was a rough one and he was forced
to lay by in the shelfdr of Gull Rock
for several, hours. The captain spoke
in the vernacular of the old salt,
which reminded one of the banks,
but he left the impression as being
absolutely competent to handle a
boat and a safe man to be with in
care of a sou’wester.
