Two hundred and forty-two pupils
enrolled for the first day of school
at Ketchikan. It is thought that
the enrollment will be over 300 be
fore the term is over.
W. B. Eardley, owner of the Dol
mi mine, near Ketchikan, has come
north and hopes to reopen the prop
erty by spring. The mine has been
closed since the starting of the war.
There is considerable excitement
going on in Wrangell—three build
ings are being erected there all at
once. These are a business house, a
residence and a municipal shed.
The Ketchikan Chronicle offers as
a proof of the rapid growth and
wonderful business activity of the
city, the fact that folks have to
wait their turn to ride on the auto
street-car line there.
Three distillers were recently
fined $250 each at Stewart for dis
tilling out of season. Stewart is the
Canadian town a mile or two from
the American camp of Hyder.
Bears are still very plentiful in the
vicinity of Whitehorse. Several duck
hunters from that city recently saw
one and broke all records for the dis
tance in getting away from the imme
diate locality.
Captain Royal Pullen, accompan
ied by his wife, has arrived at Skag
way for a visit with his mother, Mrs.
Harriet Pullen. Captain Pullen, who
enlisted for the war from Treadwell,
served twelve months in France in
active service.
A party of seventeen persons, in
cluding some cannery men and a
government nurse, recently arrived
at Seward to catch the Admiral Wat
son for the south. They mushed all
the way overland from Dillingham,
Nushagak and other Bristol Bay
points.
A new gold strike has been reported
on Buster creek, a tributary of the
Koko river, which empties into the
lower Yukon on the right limit about
eight miles above Russian Mission.
No details of the strike have been
learned except that gold has been
found on five claims on the creek.
The passing of the open bar in
the Yukon was accompanied by no
marked demonstration. Several of
the saloons remain open, selling soft
drinks only. A public vendor and
assistant have been appointed by the
government to handle spirits at
Dawson, and others will soon be ap
pointed at other places.
Several hundred pounds of copper
ore have arrived at Valdez from the
Red Metal copper mine, located on
Columbia glacier. The ore is nearly
all solid copper and is very rich. It
is estimated that nearly 50,000 tons
of this ore is in sight and the opera
tors are convinced that, the mine
will become one of the largest pro
ducers in the district.
_
Henry Wanke, an 8-year-old child *
at Boring, recently picked up an ob
ject on the beach there and lit a
match to it. The explosion blew off
all the fingers of the little one’s left
hand with the exception of the little J
finger. No one knows for sure what
the object was that exploded, but
it is thought it was a nitro-glycerine
cap.
It has become a practice in the
States now to discount Canadian
silver coins at the banks and busi
ness houses. The reason for it is
that speculators were making a prac
tice of bringing it over the line and
making a profit on it. The Ketchi
kan bank has made the statement
that as long as Canadian silver is
received in the ordinary course of
business there will be no discount
on it.
On August 29 there was a big
dance held at Eska to celebrate the
completion of the new school house J
there. It was attended by every *
person in Eska as well as by most
of the population of Chickaloon and
many people from Anchorage. Danc
ing began at 9 oclock in the evening
and continued until 2 in the morning.
The Anchorage Jazz orchestra fur
nished the music and the ladies of
Eska the lunch.
Captain George Black, organizer
and commander of the Second Yukon -
Motor Machine Gun Battalion, was -
presented with a handsome souvenir $
on the eve of his departure recently
from Dawson to make his home in
Vancouver. The gift was a walk
ing stick made of the tusks of the
prehistoric mastodons found in the
gravels of the Klondike. A Dawson
ivory worker made the cane, and
it was presented by the members of
Captain Black’s old staff who served
with him when he was commissioner
for the territory.

LARKIN IS REFUSED
PASSPORT TO IRELAND
DUBLIN, Aug. 21 (Correspondence
of Associated Press).—James Larkin
having cabled from the United States
to his sister that he hoped soon to be
at home in Ireland “with the old
guard,” there is some disappointment
among his followers here because
both the United States and British
governments have refused him, as
stated, the necessary passports.
The Irish Transport Workers’
Union, which he founded, meanwhile
has not abated any of its activities
in his absence, and has carried out
in various parts of Ireland a number
of embarrassing and sometimes suc
cessful strikes. At present the har
vest is in danger and the cattle trade
is obstructed in the midland counties
by transport union walkouts of the
agricultural laborers, and in Dublin
there is the novel feature of a strike
of grave-diggers belonging to this
union which has succeeded in closing
the great Catholic cemetery at Glas
nevin.
The report of the organization for
the past year shows an increased
membership from 43,788 to 68,827 in
210 branches. The finances show a
i
credit balance on the year of nearly
$90,000. Nearly $45,000 was paid out i
during the year in strike benefits.
Larkin’s most recent, public appear- ,
ance in America was at a socialist
mass meeting in New York last June.
