4 SHORT STORIES
OLD MINE REOPENED
The Cliff mine, near Valdez, from
which gold to the value of $900,000
had been taken previous to the clos
ing down of operations a few years
ago, has been I'eopened and will be
£ operated on a large scale. Other prop
"erties in the same locality are being
prospected with a view of operating.
WATER POWER SITES
* A number of highly valuable water
power sites can be secured m south
eastern Alaska at present, although,
in most cases, the owners would pre
fer retaining an interest in them if
capital for the installation of sawmills,
etc., can be secured. One particular
site has a natural harbor, sufficient
water power for a 150-h.-p. hydro-elec
tric plant, and is surrounded with
thousands of acres of yellow cedar,
spruce, hemlock, birch and pine tim
ber. The Alaska bureau of publicity
will gladly and free of charge supply
information regarding power sites.
MORE MONEY FOR ROADS
An additional appropriation of $450,
000 has been made and will be ex
pended on roads in the Territory this
year.
NEW PULP MILL
A pulp mill at Thomas bay, fifteen
miles from Petersburg, will be in
stalled within the near future. Much
interest in the pulp industry is being
shown in southeastern and western
Alaska.
ALASKA TO EXPORT LUMBER
A Juneau sawmill has contracted
to supply 3,000,000 feet of spruce lum
ber to dealers in the States the com
ing season. During the war, when
spurce was in demand for the con
struction of airplanes, the Alaska
product ranked as the finest in the
world.

TO PATROL ALASKAN WATERS
A Washington telegram says the
navy department has promised that
two sub-chasers and one Eagle boat
will be stationed in Alaska water dur
ing the summer to patrol the fishing
waters and to prevent piracy.
TIN DEPOSITS NEAR NOME
A letter from Nome suggests that
$ the tin deposits of that locality may
be extensively exploited soon. A shaft
is to be sunk to a depth of 1,000 feet
and crosscuts will be run. If the
property shows up as well as it is
believed it will, a $10,000,000 plant
will be installed and 2,000 men will be
furnished employment.
NO PLACE FOR BOLSHEVISM
The spirit of Bolshevism and ex
pressed preference for soviet govern
ment that bobbed up in Alaska a few
months ago was so promptly and ef
fectively frowned upon by the local
residents of the Territory that the re
cent message from Russia to a Paris
paper to the effect that Alaska was
seeking separation from the United
States for the purpose of putting in
with Russia was not seriously taken
here. But that the spirit was here
only a few months ago was then clear
ly shown. It disappeared, however,
^■hen the majority of patriotic Alas
kans took to wearing a button in the
center of which is a coiled rattlesnake
and on the margin the words: “I’m
an American—Don’t Tread on Me.”
1920 FISHING SEASON OPENS
Another fishing season is in process
of opening and hundreds of fishing
craft—boats of all sizes and descrip
tions—are arriving in Alaska waters
from all along the Pacific coast and
especially from Puget sound. It is
expected that the usual number of
people, from 20,000 to 22,000, will be
employed in the fishing industry in
Alaska during the season.

What puzzles one about the conduct

that it left some uncashed checks ly

This is the only administration bureau
