One steel safe and a dozen pokes for
< coarse gold is an order that was re
's ieeived in Anchorage by H. W. Nagley
of Talkeetna from Captain C. F. Grif
fiths, who, with his associates, is oper
ating on Peters creek, in the Cache
Creek district.
The Anchorage Loyal Order of
Moose recently issued an official paper
devoted to the interests of the local
lodge, featuring the returned soldiers,
the new Moose home and Indepen
dence day. Jack Sutherland was ed
itor in chief of the newsy sheet.
Arthur G. Shoup, former superinten
dent of the Pioneers’ Home at Sitka,
has located in Ketchikan and will prac
tice law there. Mr. Shoup was a mem
ber of the legislature, and he intro
duced the first bill passed by the tjrst
territorial legislature, granting equal
suffrage to the women of Alaska.
Harry Karstens, driving a stage of
the Burgess-Karstens Auto-Stage line,
arrived in town early yesterday even
ing with three passengers, completing
a round trip between Fairbanks and
Chitina in six days. This is consid
ered to be one of the quickest round
trips on record.—Fairbanks Citizen.
At a meeting of the Alaska chapter
of the American Mining Congress,
held at Fairbanks last week, John A.
Davis, superintendent of the bureau
of mines station, was re-elected gov
ernor. with Luther C. Hess, John
Gross and G. A. McQuarrie, vice gov
ernors; John Gross, treasurer, and
Paul Hopkins, secretary.
According to an announcement made
by the owners of the Smith-McGlone
quartz mine, on St. Patrick creek, the
■ore resulting from the 100-ton run
made recently showed a value of
$28.40 to the ton. This represents an
increase of $10 per ton over the first
run made from the mine, and $3 in
crease over the run previous to the
last one.
The Kingston brothers, about whom
j o much fuss has been raised during
Ahe past few months, arrived in Fort
Yukon recently, safe and sound, and
did not even know that they were sup
posed to be missing, and that mem
bers of the police forces of two coun
tries are even now searching for some
trace of them.
The failure of the requested appro
priation to pass congress has resulted
in the curtailment of considerable new
work on the Interior end of the rail
road. Among other things, the pro
posed construction of a trunk tele
graph line between Nenana and Sew
ard has been abandoned. A crew
which left Nenana recently to begin
work on the extension was recalled.
Relief cabins will be constructed in
the Koyukuk district; another will be
built between Cripple and Lone Moun
tain, and a third at some other remote
point in the Fourth division, if funds
hold out. The need for a cabin be
tween Lone Mountain and Cripple is
great, as two men froze to death on
4 this trail last winter on account of
lack of shelter. It is about twenty
seven miles between roadhouses here,
and during stormy weather the trip is
a most dangerous one for mushers
caught out.
“All that the mining men of the
Kantishna want,” said James Haney
the other day to a representative of
the Nenana News, “is a chance to land
supplies somewhere near their prop
erty at a reasonable cost. Given that
chance, they will soon show what kind
of a camp they have over there.” Ha
ney is in charge of the party which
was sent into the Kantishna district
several weeks ago by Tom Aitken.
The ledge on which Mr. Aitken holds
options is situated in the Moose creek
region. Several men are now em
ployed there taking out ore, which
will be held at the mine until winter,
then freighted into Roosevelt City and
^brought from there to the Tanana
Oliver by boat next spring.
PLAY MADE FOR
PRE-WAR TRADE
WITH
ROME, June 2 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—Already German
influence has been exercising itself in
Italy in an endeavor to win back its
pre-war trade, which annually amount
ed to nearly two hundred million dol
lars—exports and imports.
Interviews recently have been pub
lished in Italian papers which en
deavor to establish the idea in the
Italian mind that had Germany been
consulted in the matter of Italian
claims at the peace conference Italy
would have secured all that had been
asked. This has been interpreted by
many prominent Italians as purely a
subtle bid for Italian patronage, an
ticipating the resuscitation of friendy
commercial relations between Italy
and Germany.
Chief among the interviews appear
ing in Italy wrere those of Prince Von
Buelow and Count Von Bernstorff.
The former was married to an Italian
and maintains in Italy one of the most
celebrated villas. Italians contend
that it was his object to solicit Italian
favor when he said:
“Fiume is an Italian town and must
go to Italy. All its inhabitants are
Italian except a small minority. Every
thing in Fiume is Italian. In fact,
most Hungarians living in Fiume are
more favorable to Italian than to Jugo
slav rule.”
Count Von Bernstorff seeks in his
interview intended for the Italian peo
ple to forgive Italy for allying herself
with Germany’s enemies. He admits
that had the ancient German despotic
rule won Italy would have never been
forgiven, but that the new Germany
is ready to forget the past and start
over again.
His interview given to the Giornale
d’ltalia recently has been treated in
the same light as that of Prince Von
Buelow, while Italians are saying of
it, “We prefer to trust in victory than
alternatives.”
Count Bernstorff failed to arouse
any great enthusiasm among the Ital
ians for the proffered forgiveness.
But the Germans have not been
asleep in Italy. Already German goods
are finding their way into the Italian
markets. A Milan newspaper recently
announced that a large shipment of
German jewelry had been received at
the frontier, destined for all parts of
Italy. German printing products,
I tourist guide-books and stationery
|have been on display in shop windows
| for weeks. Some of them were pre
war stock, but by far the greater part
is new.
INDIANS ARE CHARGED
WITH MANY OUTRAGES
COMMITTED BY BANDITS
-.
EL PASO, Texas, July 3 (by mail).
—Yaqui Indian depredations in the
Mexican border states are becoming
more frequent, but not all acts of ban
ditry in the Yaqui country can be laid
at the doors of the Indians, according
to advices reaching here from Sonora.
“It is a case of giving a dog a bad
name and hanging him,” an American
who is familiar with the marauding
activities of the Yaquis reported.
It is the custom in Sonora, he said,
for Mexicans to shout “Yaqui” when
ever a foreigner has been killed in
isolated territory, or whenever a fla
grant violation of Mexican law has
been committed anywhere in the sec
tion where Yaquis may be found. Thus
the idea that real Mexican banditry
exists largely in the imagination of
outsiders. Hence the Yaqui is blamed
for violent acts whether he was re
sponsible or not.
Yaqui and Mexican bandit bands are
both active, and it is said to be im
possible to tell which is guilty of va
rious reported raids, robberies and
murders.
YANK PAID PENALTY
FOR MISSING TRAIN
BREST, June 14 (by mail).—One
American soldier who lingered too long
saying good-by to his girl on the rail
way platform as his train was leaving
for Brest missed his train. Though
he overtook it by getting a ride on the
next faster train, his commanding of
ficer made him march up and down in
the aisle of the car for five hours, car
rying his pack and rifle, while the train
was going 175 miles to Brest.
