ALASKAN RATED
SAILOR BOY
Cold is not the only glittering thing
that has helped to ini: Alaska on the
map and tiring just deserts to the
memory of William Henry Seward.
There are other things typical of
Alaska that have caused the people of
the Stales to sit up and take* notice
ol the tilth state. There is the Ks
I kimo. the icebergs. Cherry Malotte,
Cordon Hetties and the Matanuska po
tato. These have a 11 played their part
in the pit Illicit v campaign, and there
lias never been a dearth of advertis
ing matter Alaska has produced
many original characters made fam
ous by verse and prose. Speaking of
Alaska in a general way, most people
inadvertently think ol Nome, the
town that undeniably holds the cen
ter of the stage when it comes to fic
tion, romance and wealth. During the
famous stampede da\s Nome probably
entertained the most cosmopolitan
citizenship ever gathered together in
one place, even taking into considera
tion Port Said People flocked to the
northern gold fields from every cor
ner of the earth; men of all nationali
ties and some women made the mad
rush to pluck the glittering nuggets
that "grew on bushes."
Canada furnished its quota of stam
peders, who were of the better class
and who were always for law and or
der Among the Canadians to make
the overland trip, accompanied by the
perils of the unbeaten irail, were
Larry McLain, wife and on, and a
French Canadian who acted as guide
and man of all work.
The McLains came direct front the
Dawson gold fields and reached Nome
in Hu- latter part of lWm, when the
young son. Minor McLain, was four
years old They met with varying
success in the Nome placer camp and
remained after the diggings were
worked out. The McLains always were
prominent in cbtfWft 'w'oi-tv ;um ul i
their part In all things toward the
upbuilding of the town.
Here their son, Minor, grew to man
hood, attending the public schools and
taking an active part especially in lo
cal athletics During the vacations
Minor worked on the Nome Nugget,
and being of a happy disposition and
generous almost to a fault, became
exceedingly popular, lie ranked high
in his studies and was foremost In
all athletic contests of skill and en
durance. Under the influence ol
Christian parentage and strict train
ing Minor developed Into a model
specimen of young manhood. The se
vere elements of the northern climate
did much to inure him to outdoor life,
of which he was verjjs fond, ami he
was destined to con)A iutCS promt*
notice.
And now lie has done so. and while
he hasn’t by any means reached the
pinnacle of his fame, he is certainly
before the eyes of the East, and is
called the "ideal American sailor boy."
This distinction Is well placed, accord
ing to his Alaska friends and by
noted artists of the East. In all things
Nome is patriotic, and it was only nat
ural htat Minor McLain would enlist
at the Mrst opportunity, which came
last August.
* He is Alaska's latest celebrit> to
Hirt with fame, and those who knew
him in schoolboy (lays declare that his
rise to honor has just started, and
that hj»: will further be heard from in
acts of dating and heroism.
» The following article was taken
front one of the big Eastern dailies,
and will he of interest to the many
sNomeltes in different parts of Alaska:
Young McLain's photograph ap I
peared in many of the Eastern
papers.
“Early in life Minor McLain began
making himself talked about as the!
first white baby to make the trip over I
the ( hilkoot pass, in Arctic Alaska
although it must be admitted he had !
very little to say in the matter.
“Hut despite the fact that his early |
days were crowded with adventure in 1
tin* frozen North, young McLain ad
mi's *hiit things didn't really begin to i
happen to bim until last \ugust, wheni
he enlisted in fh*- Enited States nvayj
as a thirdclass fireman As he had!
to travel some l’.ouu miles from Nome j
to Seattle to enlist. h< was the cyno-j
sur** of all eye s among the engine1 !
force* on e»n<* »»f our battleships espe
cially as he- had serveel year in the
army and benight his fay out wla-n 1
Mexico failed to fight
“Hut whe-n In* arrived in Philaeb-l
piiia McLain suelel«*nl\ e-merge-d from
the* stoke* hold info (Quaker City soci
ety. Mutual friends in Seattle had
written fe> prominent Philadelphians
about the* young sailor, and almost be
fore be* kne w it lie* was dining in one
of the* most exclusive* homes This,
of course*, was not particularly excit
ing. Hut one* night his host took him
to the* opera. Mary Harden was sing
ing. and as luck would have- it. Mc
Lain was presented to her The- diva (
was so struck with his handsome* face
that she- insisted that he appear be
fore the* curtain with her. And in full
view of three thousand people 'Our
Mary' kissed him!
"Needless to say, this little* episode*
I Then he met Lillian Russell, w ho pro
i non need him ‘the ideal American
| sailor bo\His lame was promoted
by William KricghofF. a Philadelphia
artist, whose portrait of the handsome
sailor now adorns the walls of the \rt I
< luh in that City of Heavenly Rest
“With such influential friends it
was onl> natural that Secretary Han
iels should he informed about him. I
and MeLa in soon found himseli at
tending tin* c;is engine < bool at Co .
lumliia university. New A'**rI city
"Here new adventures and experi
ences betel him. He visited Charles
M Schwab in his Riverside drive
home, met Caruso, and listened to the
opera in J. P. Morgan’s private box.
Other celebrated people feted him on
numerous occasions. Howard Chand
ler Christy, the famous illustrator, in
sisted that he pose for the central
figure in a great navy poster the art
ist is making.
“A lew days ago McLain finished
his gas ♦mine course at Columbia.!
passing bis examinations with the !
highest possible rating lie is now aj
first-class machinist’s mate on active,
duty somewhere in North Atlantic
wnters.
“McLain stands six feet to a hair!
and weighs 1K.*» pounds He is of the
blonde type, with blue eyes, fair skin
and wavy hair. While not every man
would look at him twice, there are
‘'W^nem who wouldn’t if

What is reported to tie the lowest j
level ever attained in the history of j
hard rook mining in Alaska was
reached recently in the Ready Bullion j
mine, and ore is being hoisted from a
shaft 2,8(111 feet deep. In the old j
workings of the Mexican mine and
other properties of the I'nited Trend
well workings ore was being blocked
out at a distance of 2.Ton feet from
the surface, hut the depth now ar
rived at in the Ready Bullion Is re
ported to be the lowest level so far
operated in the North.
