SHORT STORIES
' ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
B. C. Sprague, a veteran of the
United States Civil War and who has
been prospecting in the Yukon coun
try for many years, recently arrived
in Dawson. He brought the news
of a rich tungsten ore strike on his
properties in Dublin gulch.
Dr. Malcolm E. Smith has arrived
back at Nenana, after having spent
fourteen months in the hospital ser
vice of the United States army, most
of the time being in France. Dr. Smith
resumes his position as chief surgeon
of the railroad hospital at Nenana.
A Yukon man has had great suc
cess in preparing kippered grayling
for winter use. He prepares a quan-1
tity of them for his own use each
year and says that they are most
delicious fish when kippered. The
grayling abounds in the streams of
the Interior country.
“Sonnie” Schmidt, an automobile
man of Valdez, recently had a nar
row escape from drowning in the
Lowe river. The road on the bank
of the river caved in and his ma
chine fell into the stream. The owner
was forced to swim several hundred
feet and the auto has never been seen
since.
A party of picnickers at the Big
Bend, five miles down the river,
from Whitehorse, discovered a cof
fin containing the body of a young
white man who had evidently been
buried many years before. No one
knew the name of the young man.
The caving of the bank had exposed
the coffin.
William Kelly, 13-year-old son of
Jack Kelly, was accidentally killed
at Lake Bay not long ago. The boy
was picking berries when he stepped
on a log that was balanced on a
rock. The weight of the boy start
ed the log rolling. The boy fell and
the log passed over him, crushing
his head.
J. B. Burham, president of the
Game Protective and Propagation
Association, has gone for a trip up
the White river in a poling boat.
He had not visited the interior of
Alaska since 1898, at which time he
shot the Whitehorse rapids and
Miles canyon on scows carrying
supplies.
In a recent baseball tournament
at Nenana three games were played
bv the teams from Nenana and Fair
banks inside of twenty-tour hours.
Besides this, members of the .teams
danced all night Saturday, and the
^ Fairbanks men had a long, tiresome
trip from their homes to Nenana. Its
a great life if you don’t weaken.
Delegrate Grigsby nas mtrouuceu a
bill in congress to give the city of
Petersburg authority to bond itself
for $75,000 to build a municipal
power plant and a school house. The
bonds are to run for twenty years,
bearing interest. Fifty thousand is
to build the power plant and $25,
000 for the school house.

Dr. Gabie is resigning his position
as physician for the White Pass &
Yukon Route. He will leave for the
South. Dr. Thomas H. Runnals of
Puyallup will take the vacant place.
The new doctor is the son of Dr.
Runnals, who was the company
physician years ago and who resigned
to act in a similar capacity for the
Mounted Police.

* May Hydraulic Company of McDames
