INTEREST '
CHITINA, Dec. 20. — The Rev.
Zelgier made one of his periodical
visits this week, nnd held services
on Friday night In A. II. Hall. He had
a much larger congregation than on
his previous trip, and the result was
a great scarcity of hymn books. His
discourse was on the many virtues of
women nnd the cussedness of men,
with a little nillle Sunday stuff for
seasoning. He promised after the
service to give the men a better break
next time he came.
The A. n.’s will give one of their
usual enjoyable dances on Christmas
Eve and a masquerade ball on New
Year’s night.
James Wickersham will have to
look to his laurels in drawing a crowd
if Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis Is as suc
cessful everywhere as she was at
Chitina. The A. B. Hall was crowded
with men and women, who listened
with great Interest for an hour and
three-quarters, and not a single per
son left the hall until she concluded.
She traced the history of civilization
from the primitive age, through the
feudal age, and pictured the growth
of capitalism through the industrial
development, and claimed that Social
ism had to come by the natural pro
cess of evolution. The only fault she
found with trusts was thqf they were
now operated for private gain, where^
as under government or collective
ownership they would be operated
only for the benefit of everybody.
Her lecture was characterized by
great fairness, and anyone who ex
pected to listen to the usual soap box
orator was disappointed. Following
the Socialist custom of taking up a
collection so that all might have an
opportunity to contribute to the ex
pense of her rip, she called on Mr.
Zeigler to pass the hat, which he did,
and a very satisfactory collection was
taken up. The people of Cliltlna hope
to have another opportunity of listen
ing to Mrs. Lewis In the not too dis
tant future.
There was another wedding In the
McCrary family the other day. Earl
Craig taking unto himself Miss Han
nah—what the young lady’s surname
was is unknown to your correspond
ent—but he does know that she will
never need it again, and that It Is
now McCrary. Judge Smith offici
ated, and Copper Center celebrated
as well as possible in a dry town on
short notice. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Craig
McCrary will be at home to their
friends at Dry Creek, where they will
run the road house and trading post
DRYER BUY
The copper property on Dryer Bay,
Knight's Island, is being developed by
Ben Silverman.
The property is Ideally located for
cheap development and handling' of
ores, as it is located near the beach,
where large steamers can land to
take on ores when a short dock has
been constructed. The ore is high
grade, returning values of 12 per cent
copper, and the owners believe that
sufficient values will be recovered
from the ore taken from the tunnels
during development to pay for the
work.
Captain Morris, of the Three-M, has
chartered his boat to the miners, and
she will be used in delivering ship
ments of ore from the mine to Ijv
touche, to be shipped to the Tacoma
smelter. Dryer Bay Is approximately
eighteen miles from Latouche.
The lead upon which the work will
be done this winter has been consid
erably prospected during the past
summer, when sixty feet of tunnel
was run in on the ore, as well as con
siderable surfuce work done in the
way of open cuts. The lead shows on
the surface for a distance of three
thousand feet, and has been found to
increase in size where depth was
gained in the tunnel.

WILL EMPLOY BIG FORCE
RAILROAD NEXT SUMMER
On leaving San Francisco Friday
for Washington to take up govern
ment railroad matters with Secretary
Lane, Chairman Edes, of the Alaskan
engineering commission, stated that
“there will b«^betwoen 3,000 nnd 4.
000 men employed on the work In
1916,”
"The work will be pushed this win
ter as soon as an emergency appro
priatlon can be secured,” said he.
"Practically all of the funds provided
In the first appropriation have been
expended on this year’s work, and
funds are needed at once for the
work which can be carried on during
the winter months In preparation for
extensive obstruction next summer."
AEROPLANE FROM
SEWARD
That an airship has already been
taken over by a Nome man, and that
It will be used for the run between
Seward and the Iditarod is the news
contained In the I.os Angeles Exam
iner. Some time ago it was pro
posed to carry the Nome malls over
land to and from the coast by aero
planes, and we may come to that yet,
hut for the present it is inter.* 11 >
to know that a man is now experi
menting on a machine for the Seward
run. The story appears on the front
page of the Examiner. The only
thing to be objected to in the story
is that the aviator speaks of never
taking less than $200,000 worth or
gold, hut that would not he very
often unless he tapped some other
camp besides the Iditarod. The plan
of taking gold and passengers is quite
feasible. The following is the story
from the Examiner:
•An aerial gold conveying service,
the first in the history of aviation,
to be used solely for hurrying gold
from 600 miles in the interior of
Alaska to the coast in one day, in
stead of sixteen days, as required
by the dogs on the trails, is shortly
to be established with a Glenn Mar
tin seaplane as the carrier, according
to Aviator Leon Richardson of Nome,
Alaska, who has just arrived in Los
Angeles.
"Mr. Richardson came here from
Alaska three days ago. Since then
he has been experimenting with Mr.
Martin’s machines.
“ ‘I have selected a seaplane pro
duced by Mr. Martin, which can eas
ily carry two passengers and 1,000
pounds of gold,’ said the aviator yes
terday at the Lankershim, where he
is stopping. ‘I shall drive it myself
daily from Seward to Iditarod,
straight across two great mountain
ranges, the Coast and the Alaskan.
•• -l shall never carry less than
$200,000 on a trip. The interest saved
by my short cut will make my ven
ture well worth while.’"
OLD-TIMER REFUSES AID THAT
HE BADLY NEEDS.
William Elliott, better known all
over Alaska as “Billie the Horse,” is
now lying very dangerously sick in a
cabin near Knlk, and is expected to
die, and yet he refuses to take aid, as
he would rather die alone tlttin suffer
what he thinks would be the humilia
tion of accepting charity.

TRAIL ALONG YUKursi la vcm
ROUGH THIS WINTER.
Reports received from Ruby state
that the winter trail up the Yukon
this year is unsually bad. The early
freeze up was not sufficient in length
to keep the river from breaking
through after the first heavy snow,
and the mail carriers and mushers
are having a ftorce time of It.
The government mail carrier from
Tanana to Ruby IobI five dogs by
drowning on a recent trip, the team
falling into a pot hole in the river
Dr. I-amb, the government surgeon at
Nulato, had to si wash it several times
on a recent trip owing to dolays and
broken ice.

E. D. Ilelter, manager of the Alas
ka Minps Corporation, of Kldalgo Bay,
reports that everything is in shapp '
to begin the construction of the com ;
pany’s wharves and ore bunkers, and
