There are only eight members o
the senate and their average res;
dence in the territory is 22 am
three-eighths years. These figure
were arrived at by Senator E. E
Chamberlain, of Seward, who is
master hand when it comes to sue

“baby” of the senate, in point o

The house, like the senate,
composed of oldtimers, averagin
19 and one-third years, and th:
notwithstanding that Representativ
Eisner has been in the territory oi
ly four years, and Getchell but nin
years. Cash Cole has lived in th
territory longer than any othc
member of the house..

OLDTIMER SAYS NEW CREEK
HAS PROMISING OUTLOOK
Carl Eriksson, oldtimer of the
Cleary basin, who arrived in Ne
nana several days ago, accompanied
by Mrs. Eriksson and their three
children, intending to locate here
permanently, says the discovery of
pay at the upper end of Kokomo
creek is attracting mining men from
all corners of the Fairbanks dis
trict and the indications are that
the find will result in the thorough
prospecting of nearby creeks, par
ticularly Miller creek, which heads
in the same dome, close to Kokomo.
Kokomo creek, where the pay has
been located, and for some distance
dowrn stream, is shallow and thawed,
and the ground probably will event
ually be worked by the open cut
method. But Mr. Eriksson does not
look for large scale mining until
next year. It will take a summer, he
says, to make preparations for work.
Shortly before he left Cleary, he
learned that Sam Weiss, of Chata
nika had secured several lays near
discovery and it is generally be
lieved he has a good thing in sight.
Cleary creek, once the scene of
great activity from end to end, is
now nearly deserted, there remain
ing only about a dozen persons in
the entire Cleary basin. A number
of the oldtimers, who make the
creek their home, will work with
the Alaska Road commission during
the summer, on the proposed Chata
nika-Circle highway. Mr. Eriksson
believes this highway someday will
be part of the Alaska tourist route
and that Chatanika will eventually
be the Interior terminal of the
Government railroad.
Mrs. Eriksson has taken over the
managment of the Skof House, on
Market street, near the Telegraph
station.
Republican clubs and newspapers
throughout the territory have recent
ly wired President Harding, pro
testing against the appointment of
a carpet-bagger as governor.
SURVIVOR OF CUSTER RAID
ENDS CAREER AT SITKA
George Gee, native of China
survivor of the Custer massacre am
a resident of America for sixtj
years, died at Sitka during the lat
ter part of March. He was buriev
under the auspices of the America!
legion, in recognition of his mili
tary services.
Gee was with Custer in the capa
city of army cook during the earl;
Indian uprisings in the Northwes
and was with the Custer commani
at the time of the massacre on th<
Little Big Horn, in Montana. H.
had been detailed by Gen. Custei
to look after the baggage, so es
caped the fate of his comrades o'
that day.
After leaving the army he was t
cook in the U. S. Navy lor a scor<
of years, and it was in that capa
city that he first went to Sitka
many years ago. He had been sic!
for a considerable time prior t<
his death.
The work of raising the barge
Seal, which was frozen fast to th«
bottom of the river in front of Ne
nana, has been successfully accom
plished under the direction of Jacl
Bellerby. It was necessary to thav
the barge loose from the ice ant
then pump a large amount of watei
from the hull and, for a time, i
looked as if the work would havi
to be abandoned, owing to thi
condition of the craft.
