A job has been given to a Cordova
man at the rate of $100 per month

Douglas News.
Dr. M. W. Bruner, the man who
first laid out the right-of-way for
the Copper River railroad, was a
visitor in Alaska recently for the
fifty-second time in 22 years. He
was to Hyder, Alaska, this trip, on
business.
Owing to recent high water in the
the Tanana river, basements at Ne
nana have been flooded constantly.
The owners of the basements can
keep track of the height of the
water in the river by looking into
their basements.
The Ketchikan Chronicle, in an ed
itorial 'claims that many youths
there are addicted to going joy riding
in jitneys with young girls. The
rides take place at night, and the
paper says that considerable “home
brew” is consumed on the trips.
McMicken and Bawden recently ar
rived at Hollis, on Prince of Wales is
land, on their yacht to inspect their
mine, the Crackerjack. Owing to the
high prices of material the mine has
been closed down for some time, but
the owners brought a mining engin
eer with them to examine it with a
view of opening up again.
The halibut vessel Moregen struck
a rock in Soap Stone narrows, in the
southeastern part of Alaska last week
and is awash at high tide. A can
nery barge has been sent to get her
on the beach where she can be re
paired. The Moregen left port early
in the week with bait and ice aboard.
When she struck the crew attempted
to get her afloat but she took water
too fast, and listing from the weight
of the ice soon filled. The vessel is
one of the best paying boats operat
ing out of the capital city.
According to Major Waugh, the
government will soon construct a
road at Hyder, Alaska, to open up
the country where some of the mines
are located. There is already a road
through the district sixteen miles
long, that was constructed by private
interests at a cost of $85,000. The
government road will continue along
the same course and the present road
will be graveled over and widened.
The Major also said that mining com
panies would build a raili’oad 2f
miles long, paralleling the govern
mentr road, for the purpose of houling
ore.
Another big dredge has gone to
work near Dawson. It is Canadian
No. 2, belonging to the Canadian
Klondike Co. It is working the
gravels of Bear creek at the exact
spot where Berry and Fields years
ago worked by the old individual
methods, where hundreds of thou
sands of dollars in dust were taken
out. The dredge is a big one, having
68 buckets in its line. Most all ot
the steel buckets have been salvaged
from old ones that were discarded
long ago, before the price of man
ganese went sky high. The repair
and strengthening work on them
were done by electric welding.
A son of Archdeacon McDonald
was recently visiting his widowed
mother in Dawson. The son lives
on the Old Crow, a tributary of the
Porcupine river, at the top of the
map of the Yukon and on the eye
brow of the earth. He is a trapper.
Two of his brothers were in service
during the war, and one died. His
father, who was the most famous
of all Yukon pioneer missionaries,
came to the Mackenzie and Yukon
years ago and performed wonderful
work among the Indians. He trans
lated the Bible and several hymns
books into their language and his
translation is still used by the na
tives of the Interior.

attle for the Pribilof islands with a
