MINING NOTES OF
LOCAL INTEREST
A rich tungsten strike has been
made at the head of Dorn®, creek and
traced for the greater part of the
way over to Cleary creek, near Fair
banks. George White, the mining
engineer in charge of the Eagle an
timony mine, is reported to have in
vestigated the matter and to have
declared it promising looking.
The strike is supposed to have
been made by “Missou” and a man
named Rice, and for the last week
a quiet stampede has been in pro
gress.
Dan McCarthy, who has been in
the Tolovana district during *the
greater part of the last year, reports
that conditions in the new’ camp are
better than ever, and that if the op
erators could get plants on their
ground the output would be surpris
ingly large. In a number of places,
he says, the. pay has been found, but
the operators cannot haul machin
ery over the trail and it will take
them the greater part of the good |
season to get it. in by way of the!
river and then get it in shape for
work.
Operators are now taking out
money all the way from 2 below
Livengood creek to 20 above. And
about the richest ground yet discov
ered is that of Cub Bear and Henry
Crook at the lower end of the camp.
Several of the operators on Liv
engood who have recently struck
pay are making arrangements to get
plants out to their property, but it
will be at least the Fourth of July
and possibly later before they get
the plants on the ground.
While many Fairbanksans realize
that there are some antimony prop
erties being worked in the Fair
banks district, there are few people
in Interior Alaska who know that
Fairbanks has one of the greatest
antimony mines ever discovered in
the. United States. An authority on
antimony, who has specialized on it
for years, says that a mine that will
produce 2,000 tons of antimony is
considered a large one, in fact as
large as any worked in the United
States.
The Eagle mine, near Vault, pro
duced almost a thousand tons last
summer, and up to the present time
has produced another thousand this
year. There is a good-sized crew
of men at work now, and this will
be increased within a few days.
What the mine will produce during
the summer is not known, but it
probably will be. at least another
thosand tons of ore. An engineer
who is familiar with the property
and with all the large antimony
properties of the United States de
clares it the greatest antimony prop
erty ever locate.d.—Fairbanks News
Miner.
There is little activity at present
in the mining section of the Circle
district, but it is expected there will
be quite a lot of work in progress
within the. next few weeks. The
majority of the cuts are still filled
with ice and it is a difficult matter
for the operators to get their outfits
in shape to work. In addition to
this obstacle there is a great deal
of snow in places, making it im
possible to haul wood or machinery.
The Berry dredge does not expert to
start until July 1.
Jack Leach and Dick Thorson,
Ester cre.ek operators, purchased
the interests of i'ete Malone in 13
below, Cleary creek. The considera
tion for the deal is said to have
been $25,000 cash. This is one of
the most important mining deals of
the year to go through since the
actual mining season opened.
Several years ago the property
belonged to the estate of Mark Sul
livan, formerly a well known attor
ney of Fairbanks. The property
was not considered very good and
was sold by the administrator of the
estate to Mr. Malone for $8,000,
with the understanding that it
should be paid out of the ground.
For three years Mr. Malone has
worked on the ground and has taken
out a substantial sum of money.
Last summer he struck especially
big pay and cleaned up a neat fur
tune.
Preparations are under way for
the development of the Black Dia
mond group of gold quartz claims,
situated on the north side of Valdez
bay, adjoining the Three-in-One
claims. A contract has been award
ed to James Wilson to freight up
the supplies from the beach to the
camp.
Judge Tucker, of the Second di
vision, has appointed J. J. Wachen
heimer, United Stages commissioner
for Dime creek camp, Koyuk, and
miners of the district are pleased.
Frank Skeen, who with Charles
Emsweiler discovered gold in four
creeks and also a quartz ledge at
Nooka bay, 80 miles southwest of
Seward, early in June, has left for
the scene of the strike.
Assays made of the ore are Baid
to have shown good values, but the
two refused to give out details in
spite of the scores of people who
made' inquiries as to the showings
found. Ore shmples brought back
by the men last week show free gold
which could be seen with the naked
eye.
In one respect Ruby district at
the present time can lay claim to a
distinction which is most creditable
and which *affordg Just ground for
considerable local pride. The eight
hour law passed by the Alaska leg
islature is religiously observed
throughout the district—in the let
ter and in the spirit—without at
tempt at evasion or to read into the
apt anything whatever^ that it was
not meant to contain. This is a
condition probably unique in Alas
ka—most certainly so in the in
terior. Moreover, it appears to give
perfect satisfaction to the operators
and working miners alike.
Add to this the further circum
stance that the cleanups in every
instance, so far as heard from, are
materially exceeding expectations.
WILLOW CREEK WILL BE
BIG GOLD PRODUCER
E B. Sumniy and G. E. Hallock
returned Sunday morning from a
two weeks’ trip in the. Willow creek
district and were very much impres
sed with the prospects of this coun
try. Mr. Sumniy said that in his
opinion, it was only a question of a
short time until the Willow creek
district would be one of the biggest
gold producers in the entire, country.
They visited the Alaska and Free
Gold, Independence and Mable prop
erties, also spent a day at the Should
prospect that is causing considerable
excitement in that district. This
was only a preliminary trip for these
gentlemen and no doubt will result
in future investment in the Willow
creek district.
TRAVELING SALESMAN SAYS
ANCHORAGE IS BOOMING
Fred Cox, representing the West
ern Dry Goods Company, has re
turned from a trip to Anchorage and
Sgward and declares that times are
lively in that section of the country,
especially in Anchorage.
Mr. Cox declares that there is lots
of building going on at Anchorage
and that some of the buildings are
of a permanent nature. He says
every one appears busy.—Juneau
Dispatch.
CONCRETE WALK
The Fourth Avenue property own
ers in block 43 have signed a petition
asking for bids for a 12-foot concrete,
sidewalk on the south side of Fourth
avenue between D and E streets and
this work will start as soon as the
contract is awarded. This will be
the first full block on Fourth avenue
to boast of a concrete sidewalk and
the example will no doubt be follow
ed by other property owners
The following property owners
signed for their respective lots: F.
M. Bowie, lot 1, W. L. Balch, lot 2;
Oscar Anderson, lot 3; L. P. Bryne,
lot 4; Carrol & Co., lots 5 and 6; and
Leopold David, lot 7.
It has been suggested that this
block be given the cognomen of Har
mony block, as there was no dissen
sion among the lot owners and the
petition was drawn and signed in 30
minutes.
FOREST FIRE STARTERS WILL
BE SEVERELY DEALT WITH
The city administration has asked
The Daily Times to call attention to
the severe penalty attached to the
infringement of that particular sec
tion of the law dealing with forest
and brush fires caused by negligence.,
carelessness or in any other manner.
Any one apprehended violating this
law will receive the full penalty of
either a $1,000 fine or 12 months in
jail or both and it will be a case of
where “ignorance of the law will
excuse no one."
AUTO HITS POLE
SEATTLE, June 27.—Hugh L.
Currin, a shoe manufacturer, was in
stantly killed today while out auto
mobile riding. He lost control of
his machine, which skidded into a
telephone pole.
BIG CROWD EXPECTED
HERE ON JULY FOURTH
The posters advertising the big
Fourth of July celebration are ready
for distribution and while this cele
bration has been well advertised
these posters will be sent broadcast
around the country. The commit
tees in charge of the affair look for
a big crowd and are getting every
thing in readiness and it promises
to be a record-breaker in every par
ticular.
The work being done by Ray C.
Larson, chairman of the Fourth of
July committee, goes to prove that
one good, active and energetic man
is worth a carload of drones and the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
chose wisely when they selected Mr.
Larson as chairman of this import
ant committee. At a meeting last
night Mr. Larson was appointed
marshal of the day, with full pow
ers to choose other members to as
sist. Fred Martin and Harry Schultz
were appointed additional members
of the sports committee from this
side, but the Welfare Association
has not turned in its additional
members, with the exception of
Jack Steel, who will act as official
starter of all events. A meeting
was called for Sunday evening, but
the committee from the Welfare As
sociation failed to put in an appear
ance, and the same last night, w.th
the exception of Mayor Moore, who
met with Mr. Larson and Secretary
Koch and outlined a definite plan
for the pulling off of the various
sporting events and discussed the
entire program in a general way.
It was decided to hold all events
at Recreation Park, and the field
will be sprinkled and otherwise put
in shape, and there will be no ad
mission charged to the grand stand.
Sufficient flags and bunting have
been wired for, and the streets, pub
lic buildings and grand stand will
be appropriately de,corated, with
Joseph Horrock as chairman of the
decorating committee. Jim Burns,
of the stentorian voice, will act as
official announcer. Walter def Long,
W. T. Normile and Dr. J. T. Wester
mann will act as judges of the dif
ferent events, and E. L. Bedell, to
gether with some member of the
Welfare Association, will be official
timekeepers.
Judge Leopold David will read
the Declaration ol' Independence,
and Attorney John M. Reid will be
orator of the day.
Reports from all of the surround
ing towns are to the effect that they
will all send their quota of visitors,
and the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission will run a special train for
the benefit of the employees along
the line, so we are certain of a big
crowd and equally certain of a suc
cessful celebration under the man
agement of the Anchorage Chamber
of Commerce and the. Welfare As
sociation.
The Fourth of July committee is
having lithograph posters printed
advertising the. big Fourth of July
doings in Anchorage, and these will
be sent to every town and mining
camp in the country. The sporting
events decided upon by the' com
mittees are good and the contest
ants are already entering for the
different events. The 100-yard dash
promises to be a great race, and
many of the local athletes have en
tered for the five-mile Marathon
and other events. Knik, Sunrise,
Hope and other Turnagain Arm
points all have their favorites, and
the Matanuska people promise a
surprise in the dashes. The two
ball games will furnish a great
source of entertainment, and to cap
the climax the firemen are making
preparations for a grand ball to be
given the night of the Fourth.
The Alaska Packing company has
opened a hamburger eating place in
the space recently occupied by the
shooting gallery on 4th avenue.
They will serve Coney Islands, Ham
burger sandwiches and make a spe
cialty of “red hots,” with Miss Ber
tha Stelberg in charge during the
day time.
SPECIAL RATES
FOR SUNDAY TRIPS
For the benefit of the Sunday ex
cursionist and the hard working
business man of Anchorage the
commission has offered the follow
ing inducements in a letter addres
sed to the chamber of commerce:
For the accommodation of the
people in Anchorage who desire to
make a trip out on the line on Sun
days when a regular train is run, a
special round trip excursion rate of
one and one-third times the regular
one-way fare is announced, effective
this date.
Excursion tickets must be pur
chased in Anchorage before the de
parture cf trains.
When a regular train has not been
ordered for any particular Sunday
and equipment is available, an ex
cursion train will be provided upon
a guaranty of 30 round-trip excur
sion passengers.
This special rate is only good go
ing and returning the same Sunday.
THEY NEED THE EXERCISE.
Roger Summy and “Rea” Smith,
the heretofore invincible battery for

HOW THE UNITED STATES
TRAINS ARMY AVIATORS
Ono Aeroplane In Mexico Worth ai
Much aa 1,000 Man.
As soon as the Villa raiders crossed
the border, raiding an American town
and taking the lives of American citi
zens, the Aero Club of America start
ed to mobilize civilian aviators and pul
them through a special course of train
ing on high powered military aero
planes.
It is estimated that every aeroplane
is worth a thousand soldiers in such s
campaign as the Americans have un
dertaken in Mexico, the aviator being
the only soldier who does not face
death in crossing the border.
Prompt response was obtained from
the call for volunteers to form a re
serve of aviators to be given special
training and kept available for orders
from the war department
Ten licensed aviators, sportsmen and
professionals are taking special courses
at different aviation schools on high
powered aeroplanes capable of quick
climbing, such as are absolutely neces
sary for effective work at the Mexican
border. Other militia officers of dif
ferent states and students are being
mobilized, some of them being alreadj
under training.
xuc vi ^auua uuu vt iuc ati«
tacbmeut of the First battalion signal
corps, New York national guard, was
made possible through $12,000 eontrib
uted through the national aeroplane
fund of the Aero club. It was organ
ized in October, and, in spite of bad
weather, training was carried or
throughout the winter, more than 30C
flights having been made by members
of the detachment. An effort is being
made to raise funds for the purchase
of two high powered military biplanes
for th«detachment
A score of civilians having various
qualifications who wish to learn to flj
and place themselves at the disposal
of the war department are to be senl
to aviation schools as soon as adequate
arrangements can be made to train
them.
POSTCARD HISTORY OF WAR.
Six Laconic Messages Tell of Soldier’i
Activities.
The War Gazette of the Fourth Ger
man army publishes six laconic postal
cards of a Bavarian soldier by the
name of Matthias Niedermaier, which
form an odd and somewhat humorous
war chronicle. The brave Bavarian
left his home two days after the decla
ration of war and has been fighting on
different fronts ever since. The six
cards, which are the only news his rel
atives have received from him since he
went to war, contain the following
messages:
“Belgium, Aug. 15, 1914.—I am well,
but It is rather hot around here.”
“Argonne Forest, France, Nov. 19,
1914. —Am still well; it is awfully wet
in our trenches.”
“At the front in Galicia, March 21,
1915. —I am all right, but my uniform
is fnll of bugs.”
“At the front near Riga, September,
1915.—Don’t worry about me. I am
well. The Russians have only shot off
one of my ears.”
“Nish, Dec. 25, 1915.—1 am getting
along nicely. The Servians are fin
ished.”
“Constantinople, Feb. 22, 1916.—
Have arrived in the Turkish capital
We now go to Mesopotamia and Ar
menia.”
FLIES ARE MOVIE TICKETS.
One Hundred Dead Ones Admit Arkan
sas Boys to Theater.
The boys of Bentonville, Ark., don’t
aeed money to see the movies there
Friday nights. The admission fee is
100 dead flies or 10 cents cash.
▲ local movie magnate has posted
a sign reading “Admission, 100 Dead
Flies,” and'-ft is making a hit Every
Friday night 100 dead ones admit you
to this theater. And then you can
win five extra tickets for bringing in
the largest number. Indications are
that flies wilt soon be an unknown
quantity in Bentonville.
NEW YORK, June 27.—William
R.Wilcox, former public service com
missioner and close friend of Hughes

NATIVE MOTHER
A telegram to Marshal Brenne
man from Deputy Marshal Karl
Armstrong, of Kodiak, states that
the body of the infant, on whose
tiny neck were still visible the
marks of the cord wnich deprived it
of life. An inquest was held, and an
vestigatton, which brought to light
Nordya Pestrlkoff, a native girl of
Kodiak, is in custody there charged
with the murder of her infant child
by strangulation.
The infdnt, an illegitimate child,
was born June 5th, and shortly after
its birth the young mother took a
cord and twisted it about the neck
of the child, strangling it to death,
following which she hid the body
away. Her condition was known,
and failure to produce the child foU
lowing her confinement led to an m
examination of the body by Dr. Sil
verman disclosed the cause of death.
It was a clear case of murder, and
the coroner’s jury so rendered a ver
dict. The, girl was taken into cus
tody and is now being held to await
farther action by the court. This
was this second illegitimate child the
girl has borne within the past two
years, the first being still alive. m
MANY COPPER PROPERTIES
ARE BEING DEVELOPED
Development work on all copper
properties along the. line of the Cop
per River & Northwestern railway is
progressing rapidly, and it is pre
dicted that there will be work for
many men before the summer is
over, as nearly every prospect that
can be developed has a small force
of men working.
H W. DeBois, consulting engineer
for the Copper Company, Inc., yes
terday sent a request to Cordova,
asking that men out of work com
municate with him.
The wages paid by the Copper
Company are $3.50 for miners and
$3 for muckers, board being fur
nished in both cases.
FIRE FIGHTERS
ARE CALLED OUT
(From Wednesday’s Daily.)
The prayers of the weak and skep
tical were answered when God sent
the rain but even before the peti
tion was granted the wisdom and
faith of the strong and loyal was per
fectly safe in the hands of and by the
valorious deeds of the Anchorage fire
fighters.
The forest fire, that started from
an unknown cause, in the southern
part of the city last night at 9:30
was under control by 11 o’clock and
the city was saved. It really looked
bad for a while and the fact that the
history of other fires that have wip
ed out Alaska towns was not repeat
ed in this city was due to the faith
ful work of some 200 citizens, under
the command of the fire department.
The high south wind aided much
in making the fire unreasonable, but
brain and brawn conquered and per
haps it was well that it came at this
time for now the city is absolutely
safe from forest fires, from the south
ern exposure, on account of the ditch
ing and back-firing that were suc
cessfully used last night to stop the
flames. The Daily Times would
again call the attention of the care
less and the negligent and also the
depraved to the severe penalty of
fine and imprisonment attached to
infringement in regard to forest
fires, and might also mention that
special officers have been appointed
to keep a special watch on forest and
brush fires and that the offender will
receive no mercy at the hands of the
otherwise just and honorable judge.
SEATTLE, June 27.—The steam
er Admiral Watson sailed at 1
o’clock this afternoon and the steam
er Alameda left four hours later for
southwestern Alaska. They had 40
passengers and about half a cargo
each for Anchorage, including 20
horses for the railroad commission.
The steamer Wellesley will sail
at midnight, and will have nearly a
capacity cargc of freight.
MILFORD TRANSFERRED FROM

A DOUBTFUL BUT
TRUE BEAR STORY
J. L. Caldwell and G. D. Hitchcock
arrived in Anchorage yesterday on
the steamer Capella and bring an in
teresting but truthful bear story,
which only goes to prove that not
only by music can the savage beast
be tamed but that the advancement
of civilization too has played its part
and the honor again goes to the rail
road builders.
In the way of a preface will say
that Mr. Caldwell is a prominent
business man of Seward who was
burned out at the time of the big
Seward fire last March and is in An
chorage and vicinity looking for a
business opening and all of the old
timers swear by his veracity as well
as the truthfulness of Mr. Hitchcock
who also belongs to the old regime.
The story as told by these two gen
tlemen is to the effect that while en
route to Anchorage by the overland
trail they were asked to eat dinner
with a party of railroad surveyors
who were camped at the old mill
site on Virgin creek, two miles above
Glacier, and as t*e invitation was ex
tended in the spirit of the trail and
they too were hungry, they accepted.
While eating the first course of
beans and sour dough bread an un
invited but peaceful guest arrived in
the shape of a two-year-old black
bear; there was no special excite
ment caused by the bear’s appear
ance; in fact he didn’t wait for an
invitation but in his own language
and by signs let it be known that he
too was hungry. Prom the stand
point of generosity and safety first
the bear was fed, even from bread
to doughnuts. The bread was thrown
him from a conservatively safe dis
tance but it is an actual fact, it can
be substantiated, that the bear ate
the doughnuts from the hands of
one of the surveyors He seemed
onfn cowa an/1 oofioHn/1 O TV H
as gentle as a malamute dog. Mr.
Caldwell said the bear hung around
the camp for several minutes and
showed no inclinations of leaving
until the party got up from dinner,
when he ran off into the woods. In
closing his remarks Mr. Caldwell,
with apologies to Service, quoted tne
original lines:
“Now these are the simple facts of
the case,
And I guess I ought to know;
The boys said the bear was hungry
for grub,
And I am not denying it was so.
I am not as wise as these writing
guys,
But simply between us though,
The reason the bear showed peaceful
signs
Was on account of the heavy sour
dough.”
In addition to Messrs. Caldwell
and Hitchcock the following named
employes of the Alaska Engineering
commission working in the survey
party at this point can verify the
above bear story and while it is un
usual for a bear to reach this stage
of gentleness it is not unknown, as
many old-timers in this country
know of similar cases where bruin
has shown feeling of companionship
but never before has a bear in his
native state been known to eat from
a man’s hand: J. D. Meacham, I. C.
Starkey, C. F Stahl, Andrew Lar
son, Herman Gerhardus, Sr., Her
man Gerhardus, Jr. and A1 Muir.
Mr. Caldwell will remain in An
chorage until tonight tonight, when
he will take the Admiral Farragut to
Seward, but expects to return to An
chorage some time next month. He
says that Seward has made great
preparations for the Fourth of July
celebration and is expecting a large
number of visitors to witness its
elaborate program.

THREE THEATRES
There has been considerable activ
ity in the moving picture circles on
Fourth avenue lately and work on
two new picture show houses was
started today.
The excavation work on the Dream
theatre on lot 2 in block 43 was
commenced this morning and a torce
of men is busy getting things in
shapfe for immediate construction.
This show house will be 30 by 100
feet, with a seating capacity of 450
and the cost of the structure will be
$10,000. This house will be owned
and managed by a local organization
composed of some of the most prom
inent business men of Anchorage
and they will purchase all supplies
and material from the Anchorage
merchants.
Messrs. Rhoades and Carmody
have started work on another pic
ture show house 24 by 100 feet sit
uated on the, east half of lot 4 in
block 44.
Captain A. E. Lathrop is working
a large force of men and doing ev
erything possible that money and
brains can do to finish the Empress
theatre for the opening night July*
1st. When completed this show
house will be a credit to Anchorage
and not equaled in Alaska.
KATALLA OIL TO BE
DEVELOPED AT OXCE
Falcon Joslin, president of the Ta

bought the property of the Alaska
Oil and Refining company at Katalla,
is prepared to begin immediate work
on the wells and refining plants in
order to increase the output, which
is far below the local demano^. In
his opinion, Joslin easily can double
the present production of the wells.
Commissioner Gray is optimistic
over the outlook of conditions in
Katalla, expressing faith in the abil
ity of the men back of the railroad
now building to the coal fields from
that point to put it through if they
want to.
LITTLE BEING DONE IN
TOLSTOY PLACER CAMP
Fred Umphrey received a letter

gings in which he says very little
work is being done at present.
Good prospects have been found
on 4 above on Esperanto creek by
Henry Madison. The only other
work being done on that creek is
the hole being sunk by Charley Ar
mour, Alex. Holmberg and Orlof
Stenbock (Five Dollar Bill).

IMAGINES HE HAS WEALTH
HE WANTS TO DISPOSE OF
J. Hansen has developed active
signs of insanity and has been busy
trying to dispose of an imaginary
$5,000,000, so often the dream of
the old-time placer miner. Mr. Han
sen is wel known in the community
and has been a citizen of Alaska for
several years and perhaps he is now
paying the toll of the hardships en
counterd in the interior where he
played an active part in the differ

for insanity tomorrow and it is hop

of his loss of memory is only tem
