GOVERNOR RIGGS TO QUIT
HIS OFFICE ON MARCH 4th.
The Juneau Capital is authority
| for the statement that Governor
1 Thos. Riggs, Jr. is to resign as
! chief executive of the territory on
March 4. The paper states that the
• governor announced on November 3
; that his resignation would be in the
hands of the new President on the
day of his inauguration.
“You may formally announce for
me,” the governor is quoted as
saying, “that my resignation as
governor of Alaska will be in the
hands of President Harding when
he assumes his duties as President
of the United States on March 4.
“I will submit my resignation to
the President to become effective
subject to his pleasure. This action
is taken according to the usual
custom in such cases.”
Tbs Appointment of Governor
P.iggs became effective April 26,
1918, and his tenure was for four
years, the term therefore expiring
in April, 1922.
Previous to his appointment as
governor, Governor Riggs was a
member of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission, having charge of
the railroad work in the Interior
from the start of railroad building
until he resigned to become chief
executive of the territory. For a
number of years previous to his
appointment as a member of the
commission, the governor was a
member of the International Bound
ary Survey commission, leaving that
work in 1914.
According to the Juneau paper
the governor has not made his future
plans known.

WILLOW CREEK OPERATORS
WILL HAUL SUPPLIES SOON
Milo Kelly, prominent mining man
of the Willow creek district, who
was in Anchorage recently on a
business trip, reported that the us
ual heavy snowfall started several
weeks ago and that mining men are
now waiting for the snow to be
come packed so that they can begin
hauling in supplies. The operators,
Kcliy says, are preparing to haul
in an unusually large tonnage of
supplies and machinery.
Aside from George Anderson, who
is operating the old Mabel property,
very little work is being done in the
district this winter. Don Rae is doing
some winter development work on
the Rae-Wallace claims..
Kelly expects to spend the re
mainder of the winter in the States,

NEWLYWEDS SHOWERED
AT PLEASANT SURPRISE
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Murphy was the scene of a jolly
surprise party last evening, the oc
casion being a shower in honor of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry G. Abercrombie,
who were married last week. The
affair was planned by the young
lady friends of Mrs. Abercrombie
and afforded a delightful evening
for the many who were there.
A number of the men friends of
Mr. Abercrombie, hearing of the
plans, also participated to the ex
tent of sending presents for the
newlyweds, the result being a large
array of gifts of all descriptions.
A very pleasant evening was
spent with music, followed by a
luncheon, at which covers were laid
for 17. Those present in addition to
the guests of honor were: Dr. and
Mrs. T. O. Lake, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Murphy and Misses Viola
Smith, Adeline Ferretti, Dorothy de
la Pole, Jessie Johnston, Nellie K.
Wilson, Constance Pecerson, Melius,
Queenic and Vera Russejl, Myrtle
Rose and Mrs. Leon Kellum.
ZIMMERMAN SAYS ROAD IS
BIG NEED OF KANTISHNA
J. F. Zimmerman, who returned to
Nenana last night from a stay of
several months in the Kantishna
district, where he located a promis
ing hard rock proposition, declares
that there is no chance for the re
gion to develop without good roads.
Only the highest grade ore can be
shipped at present, he says, because
of the excessive cost of transporta
tion, and the amount of high grade
ore uncovered up to the present
time is confined to two ledges. All
other properties, on which very good
ore has been found, and there are
a considerable number of them,
must await the coming of relief in
the way of cheaper transportation.
Mr. Zimmerman believes that a
railroad is the real solution of the
Kantishna problem but he says a
good wagon road, which will tra
verse the district, will make it pos- j
sible to bring development to the
point where the importance of the
camp will be demonstrated beyond
any doubt.
The majority of the mining men
of the Kantishna, Mr. Zimmerman
says, do not approve of the selec
tion of the Riley creek route for
the proposed trunk wagon road. It
does not pass through the central
portion of the district, he says, and
is too much exposed during the
winter months. He claims that the
Riley creek route cannot possibly be
kept open the year around.
The Lignite route is favored by a
majority of the oldtimers, he s^rs,
since that route serves the greatest
area, passing directly through the
mineralized zone.
Considerable work is to be done
on the Roosevelt road before the
breakup, according to Mr. Zimmer
man. It is reported in the Kantishna
that the Alaska Road commission has
set aside $50,000 for use in putting
the river road in first class condi
tion for summer, as well as winter
use, and Ed. Bartlett is to start
work immediately getting out mater
ial for the many miles of corduroy
that will be needed to build the
road across the swamps which
extend from Roosevelt toward the
creeks.
Mr. Zimmerman went to Fair
banks this afternoon.
CHINK LEADER CAUGHT
BY TRICK OF ENEMIES
PEKING, Dec. 14—Kang Shih-to,
formerly treasurer of the Anfu club
who since the recent downfall of
that alleged pro-Japanese organiza
tion has been in hiding in the Rus
sian legation and for whose arrest
a reward of $10,000 was offered by
the Chinese government, has just
been the victim of a coup on the
part of Chinese servants employed
in the legation. They entered Kang’s
bedroom in the early hours of the
morning, bound him, wrapped him in
a bed-quilt and hoisted him over the
legation wall. Accomplices delivered
him into the Rands of waiting police.
