IN ALASKA IN 186/
The Seward Gateway publishes the
following particulars of the deatli of
a well-known resident of Seldovla,
and father of Mrs. A. K. Johanson, of
Cordova:
Postmaster Adam Bloch, one of
Alaska's earliest pioneers, and last of
the group of agents placed in charge
of the Alaska Commercial Company’s
trading posts when that corporation
commenced business in this territory
in the 70's, died at his home in Sel
dovia on March 9. The funeral took
place today under the direction of the
Odd Fellows. His death was caused
by asthma and a complications of
diseases incident to old age. Mr.
Bloch had been a resident of Alaska

years. He came to Alaska as first
sergeant of the United States troops
under General Woods, which were
stationed at Sitka when the territory
was purchased from Russia, and he

DR. WHITING'S OFFENSE
ONLY TECHNICAL ONE
The editor of the Bally Times Is In
receipt of a personal letter from our
former twonsman. Dr. F. B. Whiting, of
Seattle, In which he expresses a long
ing to be back among his old friends
In Alaska. The letter was written
March 8, and among other things the
Doctor says: "We are all hoping for
good news any day from Washington
D. C. It Is the earnest hope and be
lief of an that the government will
eventually take over both existing
railroads, and as a matter of merit it
should. I hope in the near future
to see Cordova a prosperous, busy lit
tle city. I long to be in Alaska again
and if I could make the same money
there that 1 do here I would choose the
Northland."
Tht many friends throughout Alas
ka of Dr. Whiting will be glad to
know that his recent arrest for writ
ing a prescription for morphine was
only a technical offense, the violation
being one of charity. In a lengthy
article on the anti-drug crusade, which
the Seattle Star is waging, that paper
says:
Dr. F. B. Whiting, Cobb Building,
arrested three weeks ago for issuing
fraudulent prescriptions for morphine
to a "fiend," has been let down eas>
with a $25.00 fine.
The penalty for illegal selling Is
a $2,000 fine, or two yenrs in the peni
tentiary, or both fine and imprison
ment.
Dr. Whiting stands well among Se
attle physicians and before coming
here was for a number of years In
Alaska.
While technically guilty he made no
profit out of the prescriptions A
shivering, whimpering, shaking wretch
went to him and on his knees begged
for morphine. The doctor was
touched on his softer side and—he
broke the law.

HOMESTEAD FILINGS
NEAR HOMER REJECTED
Several settlers who located home
steads near Homer, within the limits
of the Chugaeh forest reserve, have
been notified by the interior depart
ment that their filings cannot he ac
cepted for the reason that the records
show that the areas claimed are coal
land. These records refer to coal
entries covering several thousand
acres and made In 1899 and later by
the Cook Inlet Coal Fields company,
which expended large sums In driv
ing tunnels, sinking shafts and build
ing about six miles of narrow guage
railroad from the workings to the
dock at Homer. These workings were
abandoned several years ago when
the government’s conservation policy
as to coal was inaugurated.
Homesteaders w'ho have located fur
ther north on Kachemnk hay, beyond
the known outcrops of coal veins, do
not anticipate any trouble in securing
their claims. Those whose filings
have been rejected may take concert
ed action and endeavor to prove that
the land la more valuable for agri
cultural or grazing for horses than for
coal, as the veins, they claim, are
small and the quality of the coal poor
even for domestic purposes.

GOOD SHOWING ON
THE CAMERON CLAIMS
Charles Ross. James Kennedy and
C.ene McC.ault returned from the Port
Wells country this morning, where
they have been doing development
work on the "Cameron" property, in
which they are interested.
A fifty foot tunnel has been run on
the vein, developing a considerable
body of high grade ore. While no
assays have been made to ascertain
the values, much of the ore shows free
gold and all of it pans well when
crushed. The owners express them
selves as highly pleased with the re
sult of their work, and are confident
they have a valuable property.
The claims are sltuaterd on Pasken
ham Point, just across the bay from
the well-known C.ranite mine, being
operated by Col. R. F. Millard.
