► PAYSTBEAK TOO NARROW FOR
► DREDGING, SAYS MINING MAN
l WHO HAS BEEN PROS
PECTING THERE.
T. L. Y'oung, who has been in charge
: of the Bernard interests on Lewis riv
1 er, returned to Anchorage yesterday
on the power launch Red Wing. Mr.
Young took a complete drilling outtit
into Lewis river last May and has
thoroughly prospected the property
they had under option for dredging
possibilities. In speaking of his sum
mer’s work, Mr. Young said that this
ground was not wide enough for a
dredge, but they found pretty good
pay in the cross cuts and that in his
opinion the river is a good proposition
for hydraulic operations.
He said they found pay on the Kel
r lar claims in the old charnel and that
Sam \\ agner and partners had quit
the river and were now operating on
the benches with good results. Mr.
Young said that Chittick and Arm
stlong's last clean-up was favorable
and that these operators were well
satisfied with their prospects. Mr.
Young leaves for Lewis river today
after the balance of his outtit and will
return to Anchorage and wait for
word from Mr. Bernard in regard to
future plans.
Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Ross and son ar
rived in Anchorage on the Admiral
Watson and are guests of the Cres
cent. Dr. Watson is a dentist and will
open an office in the new Alaska
building and he and family will make
' this city their future home.
Postoffice Inspector Neil left on the
launch Pioneer this morning for Hope
and Sunrise, where he goes on official
business.
The launch Brighton brought in six
passengers from Turnagain Arm
points yesterday, among them being
Wm. Johnson from Sunrise. Mr.
Johnson is Well known to many An
chorage residents who knew him in
the early days of Nome where he was
j owner and proprietor of the Gold Hill
hotel at that place.
THE VAMPIRE” AT
THE EMPRESS TONIGHT
Capacity houses at the Empress
speak volumes for the enterprising
promoters of that theatre, who spare
neither expense, energy or foresight
1 in secuiing clean-cut photodrama
plays that appeal to the most exact
ing. Despite the inviting balmy eve
ring last Sunday, every available
seating space was filled at each of the
i two shows.
Captain Lathrop, the prime-mover
is now' in the states completing ar
i i rangements for several interesting
! features to appear in the near future.
This, Tuesday,and Wednesday even
ings, “A Fool There Was," an adapta
tion from Rudyard Kipling’s famous
poem, “The Vampire” will be the of
fering at the Empress.
This sensational play, and by far
the most successful of the century,
and for many years the starring ve
hicle of Robert Hilliard, has been con
verted into a supremely vivid and
startling photoplay by the William
Fox forces. Edward Jose, former
leading man with Sara Bernhardt and
Theda Bara, leading woman at the
' Theatre Antoine, Paris, have been
i cast in “The Vampire.” Miss Bara’s
« interpretation is remarkable for in
jj tense dramatic realism, while her
| wonderfully seductive beauty serves
v to enhance the illusion created by hei
| art.
| Little Runa Hodges, the clever chile
S> actress, together with many other
% <players of reputation and ability, form
§ a supporting company such as has
$ seldom been gathered for a single
S production. •
| To those who are or who are no1
familiar with Kipling’s poem “The
Vampire,” the first verse of whicT
reads
A Fool there was and he made his
prayer
(Even as you and I)
To a rag and a bone and a hank of hail
(We called her the woman who die
not care’
But the fool he called her his lady fail
(Even as you and I)
This picturization is sure to be o:
more than passing interest. 8-1-1
