ABOUT ALASKA
OCCURRENCES
Jte Diamond, a Ketchikan elec
trician, fell on a high voltage line
recently and was so badly burned
that it was thought for a time he
would die.
.Elmer Kidwell, a former Valdez
boy, has been appointed a student at
the military academy at West Point
His father, Major Frank Kidwell
w^s formerly stationed at Valdez as
a quartermaster sergeant.
Work has started for tne season on
the Petersburg-Scow Bay road. It
is said that $30,000 will be spent
there this season and that between
30 and 35 men will be employed
and two miles of the roaa will be
built.
r
Claiming that many people of
Ketchikan were overlooked by the
census enumerator, a petition has
been sent to Washington by Divis
ional Superintendent of the Census
C. W. Hawkesworth, and a recount
will be made.
John R. Beegle, of Ketchikan on
his recent return to that place,
stated that $5,000 would be spent
under his direction on the streams in
that locality by the Territorial Fish
eries Board in putting them in bet
;0r shape for the salmon to navi
gate.
A human leg that had been sev
ered at the knee joint was found on
Pennock Island near Ketchikan, re
cently. No other part of the body
was found. It was thought likely
that the leg would be sent to Port
land. Oregon, where it is said there
is a missing limb
During the recent flu epidemic at
Nenana, the one remaining member
& the fire department who was not
sick put a notice in the paper asking
the people to please not have any
conflagrations, as he was unable to
fight them alone. The telegraph of
fice was also closed, as all of the
operators were sick.
A prominent member of the
Ketchikan Bachelor’s Club was mar
ried last January and has Kept up
his membership in the club ever
since without letting out his secret.
The man’s name is Vance R. Jordan
r and the lady in the case was Miss
Pearl Hubbard. Shortly after the
ceremony the bride left for a visit
to her old home in the states.
But for the fish and the reindeer,
it is said that many of the residents
of the Kobuk section of Alaska
would have starved last winter. AI
merchandise store at Kiana burned
to the ground during the winter and
the boat Arctic failed to make her
annual trip to the camp last fall. The
loss of most of the fishing gear by
storms last winter dimmished the
fish catch. Little mining is being
done this spring owing to the food
shortage, but the camp is healthy.
Misha Ivanof, superintendent of
the Shaktolik reindeer herd,' reports
that many of the deer of that sec
tion have been found dead due to an
unknown agency. He says that at
least 100 deer are lying dead on the
Shaktolik flats. The cause of their
death is not known, but in every in
stance the ear carying the brand
of the owner is missing, which
would indicate that their deaths was
through human agency. It is
thought that the deer might have
eaten poison put out by trappers.
According to the Valdez Miner,
the Alaska Aircraft Corporation has
one machine nearly completed and
will have four machines in Valdez by
October 1. One of the officials of
the company will arrive in Valdez
this month to begin construction
of a big shed to house the machines,
to be followed later by mechanicians
and others of the company. Pro
moters of the company claim that
they have enough contracts in sight
to make the project a paying one
carrying mail and express to the In
terior.
The Ladysmith Smelter Company,
of British Columbia, which has
taken over the Barrack copper prop
erty on Latouche island and which
• • - - -
has done and now is doing extensive
development work on the claims,
plans to install a big reduction plant
at this point this coming summer,
according to the Seward Gateway.
The Barrack claim adjoins the prop
erty of the famous Latouche Beat
son Company now controlled by the
Guggenheim syndicate, which has
been among the most consistent pro
ducers of copper in the territory
Development work on the Barrack
claim indicates that the same ledge
extends through both properties.

big stamp mill to reduce the ore to
concentrates which will be shipped
