M’CARTHY NEWS
v OF INTEREST TO
LOCALREADERS
(From McCarthy News.
Fred Cope left on Wednesday’s
train on a prospecting trip to the
Brehmer. J. W. Nickell and Fred
Overlander accompanied him.
Mrs. Tim Eckstrom and little Tim,
McCarthyites who are now located in
Cordova, are spending a vacation in
this district, and visited McCarthy
friends yesterday. They are now the
guests of Mrs. Victor Olsen at Kenne
cott.
Mrs. Sophie Scott of Cordova was
the guest of Mrs. Grant Reed this
week and is now at Kennecott, the
guest of Mrs. Wilson.
On Saturday evening Mrs. J. B.
O'Neill entertained at dinner in honor
of returned soldiers. Covers were
^ laid for the following guests: Jim
Morres, Fred and Charles Lubbe and
Mr. and Mrs. O’Neill and Deanie.
Jim Morres has accepted a posi
tion at Kennecott mill, starting last
Monday.
Everyone was glad to see the Sam
Lauries return on Sunday. Mrs.
Laurie and the children are looking
fine after their long holiday in Seat
tle. Leo celebrated his sixth birth
day this week.
| Oscar Hansen, Carl Anderson and
Lou Anderson are spending a few
days in town, resting after their suc
cessful season’s mining. They were
unable to work longer on account of
shortage of water and labor. They
have a lease on the Rex Alaska prop
erty. They are very well pleased
with their season’s work, and will
take an outfit and prospect on the
Chittistone, where they have some
copper property.
Fred Hotchkiss spent a couple of
days in town from Nizina on business
connected with the Andrus company,
which he represents.
Reports from Chisana state that
the shortage of water is causing
many of the operators to shorten their
season. N. P. Nelson has had a most
successful season, and is expected to
leave Chisana some time this month
for McCarthy.
% Ten tons of barley and oats is the
result of H. Esterbrook’s farming this
season.
A1 Doze is getting fifteen acres of
land cleared, intending to double his
product of hay next year.
Last Monday evening several of
- Mrs. Refior’s friends arranged a wel
coming party for her, and at an early
hour a large number of people gath
ered at the A. B. hall. Cards and
tables were provided for those who
preferred it, but most people were
soon dancing. This dance was also
an opportunity to welcome Mrs. Sam
Laurie. A large party from Kenne
cott arrived unexpectedly and added
greatly to the evening’s enjoyment.
Later in the evening dainty refresh
ments were served by the ladies.
Music was furnished by Mrs. O’Neill
and Mrs. Cole, and Messrs. Cope,
Nickell and Jim Morres took turns
at the drums. Miss Ethel Graham of
Cordova also kindly assisted at the
piano. Visitors from Kennecott
were: Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Mr. and
Mrs. Lommell, Mrs. Prout, Catherine
Dennis, Messrs. McDonald, Mooney,
Lloyd, Iverson, Lamont, Peterson,
Dennis, Wilson and others. Mrs.
Scott and Miss Ethel Graham of Cor
dova were also present.
The school term began on Tuesday
last, with a roll of 14, and the atten
dance for the week has been perfect,
none being absent and none tardy.
There are several other pupils who
will attend later, who are now out on
the ranches helping their parents and
who will doubtless report next week.
The McCarthy school building com
pares favorably with any school any
where. We have the best teacher
procurable, new books and supplies
have been received, and all that is
necessary for the children of this
town to be able to hold their own
with any others, even though so far
from large centers, is their applica
tion for the next nine months.
NOTICE
Yama-Yama dance will take place
Saturday night, September 13, at
Eagle hall. H'3

First Malleable Platinum.
The first veritable platinum ingot
was made by a French chemist, Ca
haneau, in 1783. Charles III of Spain
had called him to Madrid and created
a special chair of mineralogy, physics
and chemistry for him. In his labora
tory lie found the secret of rendering
the new metal malleable, and this is
the way he revealed the fact to one
of his patrons: “Three months later,
at the home of the Count of Aranda,
there appeared upon a table an ingot
some 10 centimeters cube (about four
inches), with a beautiful metallic lus
ter; it was malleable platinum.”—New
York Herald.

£ lurk &11 about us—in the air, on

£ clothes that merely look clean

£ truly clean, clothes must be ster- £
£ ilized. £
£ That s but one of the many £ 1
£ reasons why our laundry service £
£ i should appeal to you. When you
£ send them to us your bed linen,

purified. £
£ We are able to do this be- £l
£ cause we change from nine to
£ - twelve times the waters in
£ ^ which we wash vour clothes.
