Let There Be Light
On Fire Island, Say
Hardy Mariners
The time of the year has come
when the captains of the gas launches
i and power boats making Anchorage
| their home port are thinking of ‘light,
more light.” This is especially true
of the boats plying between Anchor
age and Tumagain Arm points and
! some arrangements should be made
' to let the light shine continuously
j from the beacon on Fire island.
At the instigation of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, a flash light
was placed on the lower end of Fire
island and this light is under the su
pervision of the lighthouse depart
ment of the government. The keeper
; is stationed at Ketchikan and at pres
ent is using the absent treatment in
reference to the lights on Fire island.
This process does very well in the
. case of Cupid or an unpaid bill but
: is hardly satisfactory in the particu
lar case referred to.
In the absence of fish wives and the
gray-haired grandfathers, who have
passed their usefulness to man the
oar, there will be no beacon light on
Fire island from this source, and ap
parently the matchless keeper at
Ketchikan is waiting until the Fioneer
j or Brighton or some other local boat,
that makes it possible to have daily
business connections with Tumagain
Arm points, runs ashore or batters
themselves to pieces against the nu
merous rocks that abound on this
treacherous coast.
Many an interesting story has been
woven around the light houses of the
storm-strewn shores of the eastern
coast, giving a thrilling account of
how the keeper’s daughter with the
last sulphur match sent the beacon
light flashing over the white-capped
sea just in time to save her sweet
heart’s fishing boat and the day’s
; catch of cod, from being dashed to
pieces against the ragged rocks.
There possibly would be no oppor
tunity to come back with an Alaska
romance, with a similar setting, for
the lighthouse on Fire island was not
erected with the view of housing a
keeper and anyhow, the chances are
he would not have been fortunate
enough to have possessed a daughter,
but if the lights were kept trimmed
and burning, they might save some of
the local boats from disaster; in any
event this light would be a great ben
, efit to the local gas and power boats
plying between Anchorage and Turn
again Arm points.
The captains of the local boats have
; signified their willingness to assume
the responsibility of keeping this light
or lights burning, provided the gov
ernment will furnish the necessary oil,
and this is a matter that needs the
immediate consideration and attention
oi me proper aumomies.

CLAIM BOUGHT FROM RILEY
TURNS OUT TO BE BONANZA
(Fairbanks Citizen)
Mining men who have visited the
works of Ringdahl & Co., on No. 11
below, creek claim, on Cleary creek,
are authority for the statement that
the richest pay ever known to exist
on old Cleary, even in her palmiest
days, is now being mined there. In
fact, it is stated that it is no trouble
at all to get pans running from $5 to
$25 anywhere in the drift. It is there
fore expected that the operators will
take out something like $100,000 dur
ing the mining season.
The good pay in question was sup
posed to have been worked out.
Therefore, when last year H. Ring
dahl and his three partners, namely,
A1 Raymond, John Carlson and John
Carey, made an offer of $5,000 for the
ground to Henry Riley, the former
well known mining man, and banker
of Fairbanks, it was acclpted. And
the miners secured several other pie
ces of mining property in their bar
gain.
The exact extent of the pay is not
known, but it is believed that at least
two years’ time will be required to
work it out. Ringdahl & Co., are
stated to be preparing to open up on
a large scale now, having done all of
their own preliminary work.
