HAMETASKED
TO HELP FRAME
Our townsman, George C. Hazelet,
has been honored by Chairman Will
H. Hays of the Republican national
committee by being asked to serve on
the committee appointed to draft the
Republican platform for the coming
presidential election. Mr. Hazelet has
wired his acceptance of the tender,
believing that in serving on so im
portant a committee he can render a
service to Alaska, by recommending
a plank in the platform that may re
sult in securing remedial legislation
from congress for the territory. The
following is a copy of the telegram
received by him today:
“New York, Jan. 17.
“George C. Hazelet,
“Cordova, Alaska. *
“We want you to serve on the com
mittee on policies and platform au
thorized by Republican national com
mittee at Washington meeting. The
purpose of the committee is to give
between now' and the date of the con
vention consideration to problems con
fronting the country, W'ith a view of
making recommendations to resolu- ’
tions committee at Republican na
tional convention. This committee
will consist of about sixty most rep-,
resentative men and women in the
nation, from all groups in interest in
the country, and wrill maintain expert
headquarters and force for investiga-j
tion of all matters and references to
members of committee.
“Most earnestly urge your accept
ance by wire. This will not Take any
more of your time than you are en
tirely willing to give. Want your help
in this very much. Will very greatly
appreciate it if we can have wire to
day. Want to announce committee

“WILL H. HAYS,
“Chairman.National Committee.”

DEAL CLOSED
FOR MINE ON
SLATE CREE
-*_.
For practically a cash considera
tion of $100,000, Mrs. Miller, widow of
Jack Miller, has disposed of her en
tire interests in the Slate creek min
ing district to a Mr. Mercandante, a
capitalist of New York city. The deal,
which was formally closed recently,
was promoted by J. M. Elmer, a well
known mining engineer. The mining
property taken over includes the Miller
claims on Miller gulch and on Slate
creek, into which -Miller gulch emp
ties, and comprises a large area of
virgin -ground of kqown value. Mrs.
Miller received a cash payment of
$5,000 and the remaining $95,000 will
be paid to her as soon as an abstract
of title of the claims comes into the
possession of the purchaser. There
is no question about the title, as Mr.
Miller was the original locator of the
claims involved in the deal.
The Slate creek district, located in
the upper Copper river valley, was!
discovered late in the fall of the year <
1899. Jack Miller and Charles Cra
mere were among the discoverers, and
staked Miller gulch, named for Jack
Miller. The gulch probably has pro
duced more gold than any creek in
the district, and is far from being
worked out.
Mr. Elmer, who interested the New
York capitalist in the deal, has been
operating in the Slate Creek district
for some years past. He also enjoys
the distinction of installing the first
dredge in the Klondike, and later op
erated in the Circle City district, in
Interior Alaska.
Mr. Cramer has been in charge of
the mining operations on the Miller
gulch claims since the death of Mr.
Miller, which occurred several years j
ago. Mrs. Miller resides in Seattle.;
It is understood that the new owner
plans extensive mining operations in
the Slate creek district next season.
Jack Raymond, who has conducted
a laundry at Fairbanks for several
years past, is in town on his way
Outside.
