JAFET LINDEBERG BUYS
NOME-KOUGAROK RAILROAD
Much to the gratification of all
who are cognizant of the possible
future value to the district, says a
recent issue of the Nome Weekly
Nugget, the old Seward Peninsula
railroad, the sole remaining railroad
constructed in this section of Alas
ka, is now the property of Mr.
Jafet Lindeberg, head of the Pio
neer Mining company, as a result of
a marshal’s sale held in satisfaction
of a judgment amounting to $523,
■947.59, obtained by the State Street
Trust company, of Boston, against
the Maine Northwestern Develop
ment company, the former owner.
The purchase comprised all per
sonal property of the defendant com
pany, including the track, rolling
stock and other accessories. Mr.
Lindeberg secured title for the sum
of $10; 100. Only two bids we.re
made, that of Mr. Lindeberg and
one for $10,000, presented by H. G.
Gabrielson, manager of the Alaska
Lighterage & Commercial company.
A third party, who recently ar
rived here from Seattle and is said
to have come with the intention of
attempting to purchase the road for
resale as junk, failed to enter a bid.
probably because the price was a
bit higher than expected.
In response to a question regard
ing his contemplations with respect
to the road, Mr. Lindeberg said his
action was more in the line of sen
timent than of utility. His prin
cipal motive, he said, was a desire
to see the road remain here.

MGIBNEY PROMOTING
ran sms
Frank McGibney, well-known old
timer, who was formerly engaged
in the contracting and freighting
i business in the Nenana district, is
at the present time in Montana,
where he is selling stock in the
Alaska Montana Placer Mining com
pany, of which he is one of the
..principal stockholders, his associates
including F. H. Bailey, former divi
sion engineer in the employ of the
Alaskan Engineering commission,
and Captain Griffith, another old
timer of the Interior country. The
property of the company is located
in the Cache Creek district, back
of Talkeetna.
‘•\Ve expected to get started this
summer," McGibney says in a letter
written to W. A. Coghill, “but ow
ing to financial circumstances we
will not get started until next
spring. Money is terribly hard to
get, especially on any gold proposi
tion in Alaska. They are leary of
false prophets, and you can’t blame
them here, for they have been taken
into camp in this valley for years
on mines around Butte and other
districts which have been worked
out for years.
“Bailey is up at the mines now
and his report is better than the
one I made. He took an engineer
with him—a Mr. Floyd—and he re
turned after having made a thor
ough investigation. His report is
that ours is one of the best hy
draulic proposition he ever saw. He
took hundreds of pans and never
got a “skunk." Got several good
pieces ranging as high as 75 cents,
and even over a dollar. One went
$4.60, and in the first five pans he
panned a total of $2.63. He found
many 30- to 60-cent pans. You
see, they had to get a report from
someone from here to give the peo
ple confidence. As for myself, they
did not doubt my word in the least,
but they wanted a report from some
one of their own people, to make
sure that they would not be thrown
down.
■ “I have had two offers for my
interest, and I have an offer of
$15,000 for a quarter interest. I
am thinking very strongly of letting
go. In fact, I am satisfied that I
will do so eventually. It wiil be a
year before I can realize any money
and I may be forced to sell. I am
inclined to think the captain wants
$100,000 for his share. Red Mc
Connell is with him now. taking
out money with a pick and shovel,!
and they are beating wages."
McGibney says that he is married j
again. His former wife, it will be !
recalled, succumbed to an attack of
the flu shortly after leaving Alaska.

LONDON CAPITAL MAY
START MILL IN NORTH j
According to recent issue of the'
Ketchikan Chronicle, Harry CHrimes, j
a representative of London capital, j
after making an investigation of j
Ketchikan and surrounding country, j
has decided to make a favorable re
port for the establishment of a pa- j
per manufacturing mill at that town.
The mill, if established, it is said,
will have a daily capacity of 250
tons.
Mr. Chrimes represented the fin
ancial side of the interests in whose
employ he made the investigation.
He said he was pleased with the
outlobk for ample power, water and j
timber. Engineers of his firm, he
said, would be in Ketchikan later to
make a final decision in the matter.
PETERSBURG TO HAVE
NEW ELECTRIC PLANT
The Petersburg city council ha3
decided to increase the present ca
pacity of the light plant before the
coming winter, the Ndetails to be de
cided at a later meeting when fig
ures have been received .from ma
chinery houses. It was also decided
to erect a pesthouse at the expense
of the city at some suitable spot
outside the residence district where
it will be sufficiently isolated.

LAST BOATS TO SAIL
ABOUT ENDOF MONTH
The steamers Alaska and Yukon
are scheduled to leave Nenana for
Whitehorse on their (inal voyages of
the season about the end of this
month. The Alaska is now enroute
up the Tanana river with two barges
in tow, and upon arrival at Nenana,
about Saturday, will make a special
j trip to Gibbon for another barge.
This will enable the Yukon to catch
up with the Alaska and both boats
will get away from here on the last
trip at about the same time, on
September 2f> or 80.
The steamer Tanana. which was
sent down river for a barge aban
doned by the Reliance, should be in
port sometime today, and will then
return to the mouth of the Tanana
river for another barge.
Captain Andy Livingstone and as
much of a crew as can be assem
bled will put the Reliance in com
mission again within the next day
or two, to perform such odd jobs as
may be necessary to expedite the
work of getting all the freight into
port before the end of the season.
The boat probably will operate part
of the time between Nenana and
North Nenana, moving freight across
the river for shipment to Fairbanks.
The powerboat Kestrel, which was
engaged in moving ore from Roose
velt to the mouth of the Kantishna.
has been compelled to abandon the
work, owing to low water. Consid
erable of the ore is still at Roose
velt, and will remain there until
next spring. The Kestrel took a
load of freight to the mouth of the
Bearpaw on the last trip up the
Kantishna. but could not get beyond
that point. The cargo was part of
the hydraulic outfit belonging to the
Mt. McKinley Gold Placers, and will
be freighted from the mouth of the
Bearpaw to the property of the
company after the freezeup. The
companys tractor will be used to do
the hauling.
NOTICE OF MEETING.
Friday evening, September 24, at
8:30, there will be a meeting at
the home of Mrs. James Cody for
the purpose of discussing prlans for
an entertainment which is to be
held in the near future for the ben
efit of the Catholic church. All who
are interested are cordially invited
to attend.
PARCEL IS LONG TIME
REACHING DESTINATION
A package was shipped by ex
press from Cincinnati, to a man on
Unimak pass, to the westward of
Seward, in September, 1917. The
package went to Seward. The man
received word the next year that
the package had been sent. Ex
press agent McDonald, in Seward,
wrote to the Unimak Pass man that
there was no express service to the
westward and if he would forward
a certain sum of money the package
would be sent by parcel post. The
Unimak Pass man received the let- >
ter from Mr. McDonald and for- j
warded the money in May of this!
year. The money was received by j
Mr. McDonald on a recent trip of;
the mail boat, which was August 12.1
The package went forward on the j
Pulitzer and should reach the Uni-:
mak Pass man at least three years
after it was shipped from Cincin
nati.
H. H. Bennett and R. F. Norton,
both electricians, employed by the
Alaska Electric tight & Power com
pany, were /drowned recently while
on a hunting trip near Falls creek,,
Admiralty island, from a little six- j
foot tender that they were using (
with their gasboat Attaboy. There
was no witness to the drowning.
Norton’s body was found the day
after the drowning and buried in
Juneau, but the body of Bennett has
not been recovered.
The temporary dam for the Hyder
waterworks system has been com
pleted and the work of installing
water mains is now in progress.
