BLEI FHES IN
A LOCAL
STORY
Robert Blot, a showman in Dawson
in the early days is given the credit
In the Chicago Mining Age of bringing
lo the attention of the Morgan's the
rich copper properly of the Cluggen
heims, located nt Kennecott, on the
Copper River # Northwestern rail
way. Here's the story published by
the Mining Age Ih reply tb a query
from n man from West Virginia, and
is republished for what It is worth
"The man who njore than all others
deserves the proper credit was Robert
Blei, formerly of the Roster & Bial
theatre circuit of New York, and who
was in the theatrical business In Daw
son In the early Klondike days. Blei
nt first knew nothing about mines, but
from the nature of his profession he
did know the value of publicity.
%‘In the early days of the great
Klondike rush persistent rumors were
circulated that ventursome prospec
tors had discovered a phenomenally
rich copper deposit near the head
waters of the Copper River, In the al
most inaccessible Interior, surround
ed by giant mountains covered with
eternal snows and mammoth glaciers.
"On their first circulation these
stories were hooted with scorn, every
one saying that "I guess the Klondike
is plenty inaccessible and will hold us
for awhile.” Blei had seen in this
marvelous rush how mankind when
enthused with the desire for mineral
wealth would overcome any natural
obstacle.

to participate in the phenomenal min
eral acquistlon of the first Invaders,
but depenslng the drama to the newly
rich miners was about as renumera
tive as the paystreak In a bonanza
gold placer,
“However, he was Inoculated with
the virus of mining, and accompanied
by a practical and experienced miner,
he decided to personally investigate
the stories. The classic story of Xen
ophon’s retreat with his 10,000 was a
picnic compared with such a trip.
However; he found things as repre
sented and annexed a generous lot of
claims.
“Then he reumed to civilization
and let the news break. The result
of this and other publfcity made
Blei a rich man and caused the house
of Morgan and Guggenheim to build a
$10,000,000 railroad to connect this
mammoth copper bonanza with salt
water.
“The rest is history. Without this
indomitably optimistic promoter and
erstwhile theatrical operator this pres
ent source of new wealth would still
be burled in Arctic snows.
“Recent advices from Cordova,
Alaska, state that the capacity of the
mill at the Bonanza mine now owned
by what is called the Alaska Synldt
-eato has been increased to 500 tons
per day. Development work Is now
down to the 700-foot level, with au
an incline something over 1,300 teet,
long, still In a splendid body of ore.
Great quantities of highgrade glance
are found in this property ranging
from 60 to 72 percent copper. The
development work is still opening up
large bodies, and the ore is brought
to the mill over an aerial tram three
miles long."

DISCOVERER TOLOVANA
TELLS OF NEW STRIKE |
" 3;
N. R. Hudson, one of the discover
ers of gold In the new Tolovana ji
mining district, arrived in Fairbanks ji
from the new diggings for the purpose ij
of recording some more ground which ij
has been staked by himself and part- :■
ners, and also to record some notices :i
Ij
of assessment work.
Ij
Mr. Hudson states that there Is :j
nothing especially new in the new .
camp. Most of the men who have
ground there are hnsy attending to
their assessment work, although some
of them nre prosepcting in good earn
est.
Just before Mr. Hudson left the
diggings, his partners finished a hole
to bedrock on Amy creek, at a depth
of 35 feet. It showed good coarse
gold, pieces weighing as high as 25
cents being found. None of the pans
secured contained less than five cents
in gold, the best obtained showing 35
cents.
CONFUSION OF NAMES j
CAUSES ANNOYANCElj
k
If Peter Vidovieh, the well known $
.<
FalrhankBan, goes to one of the Alas- -J
ka coast cities where he is acquaint- ^
ed, his friends will certainly think
that they are "seeing things," or at
least seelngfi a ghost, for through a ;jj
peculiar misunderstanding, it. has been
>
reported In the Alaska newspapers
quite generally that Mr. Vidovieh is
dead.
This false report concerning Mr. ,
Vldovlch's death came about as a
result of the similarity of his name
with that of a man who killed him
self last September. It will be re
membered that about the time navi
gation closed for the season, a man
from Fairbanks named Peter Vuko
yleh killed himself at Iditarod. The
name Vukovich and that of Vldo
Vieh caused no confusion in Fair
banks, but when a telegraphic report
was sent from here to the coast about
the incident, a newspaper at Val
dez presumed that the ^lead man was
Peter Vidovieh, and spoke about him
In terms that would leave no doubt
of the identity of the latter.
Vukovich was a poor man, who
had two sons in the European war,
and it was due to his worry about
them that he killed himself. But
the coast newspapers described the
dead man as being a lender of money.
In the Nome Nugget, which was re
ceived here a few days ago under the
head of "Alaska notes,” appeared the
following item:
“Pteer yukovich, a Fairbanks pio
neer who has two sons in the Eu
ropean war added to the general
distress by committing euicide. He ,
left a large fortune.—Fairbanks Citi- i
zen. <

HOME TOWN TALKS
Be like a ball player. The thing
he is always working for is home.
A town is like a perambulator; it
isn’t much use unless it is pushed.
Don’t be a grouch; everybody in
this town wishes you well—-even the
doctor.
It improves the soup to throw a
little peper in It; and it is the same
way with a town.
Many a young man • cr. away to
seek his fortune, when Fortune is
seeking for him at home.
It isn’t very long after a wise
young man reaches the marrying age
before he reaches the parsonage.
If you will consider the men in
this town who are well-off, you will
find that most of them made’ their
money here. ; ^ j
You have to be a citizen in order
to vote; but you have got to do a
good deal more than vote to be a
citizen.
After four thousand years man has
never found tnything to make him
happier than a wee house with a wee
wife in it.
When a wagon gets into a rut, there
nothing to do but put your sholder
to the wheel; It is the same with a
community.
The big things weren’t done In the
big towns; the greatest poem in the
IOngliah language was written In a
country churchyard.
