DICK MORRIS IS
Alex Fowler received a telegram
this morning from his partner, Dick
Morris, informing him that the lat
ter was on his way to Nenana.
The telegram was from Liverpool,
England, and indicated that Dick
Morris had sailed from that port on
Monday, May 26, headed for Ne
nana.
Dick Morris left Nenana on Feb
nary 5, bound for his old home in
Wales, where he had intended
marrying the girl of. his choice.
The telegram makes no mention of
the marriage, but it is presumed
that Mrs. Morris accompanies Dick
on his homeward-bound trip.
On his way to the old country,
Dick experienced considerable diffi
culty in the matter of getting a
passport to enable him to cross the
Atlantic. He failed to get it in
Seattle, so journeyed eastward for
the purpose of laying the matter
before higher authorities, which he
did successfully.
His many friends can now look
forward to the pleasure of seeing
him and his wife arrive on one of
the early boats this summer.

ALASKANS FORM
TRADING COMPANY;
BUY NEW VESSEL
Negotiations are expected to be
closed soon by the Siberian Com
mercial company for the purchase
of a medium-sixed steamship in Se
attle to carry the corporation's first
trading expedition to Siberia, says
a recent issue of the Seattle Times.
The name of the vessel is withheld.
The company owns the 100-ton
schooner Hulda, now at Nome, and
both that vessel and the steamship
will be used in handling the ex
pe iii n. The expedition is to sail
from Seattle on the larger vessel
June 1st.
“We believe that the time is ripe
for the expedition,” said Louis C.
Stringer, president of the company.
The company was formed by Mr.
Stringer and T. E. Williams, both
oldtimers of Alaska, the Arctic and
the Siberian coast. This year, Mr.
Stringer said, they will establish a
branch in St. Lawrence bay, Siberia,
taking both vessels there with sup
plies and other cargo for the min
ers and natives of that district. In
exchange they will get fur, ivory,
whale oil, blubber and fish.
Louis C. Stringer, president of
the company, is a former Fairbanks
an. He left Fairbanks for Nome in
1916.

Akun island, Alaska, which is being
opened up by the new Alaska Sul
phur company, the freighter Hor
ace X. Baxter steamed for the
North from Seattle recently. She
was chartered by the sulphur com
pany from J. H. Baxter & Co., of
San Francisco, especially for the
. voyage.
The Akun property is said to be
.the only sulphur mine on the Pa
cific coast regions of the continent.
I The construction work provided
for by the Baxter’s cargo will rep
resent one-half of the company’s
development program. As soon as
it is finished, construction of a re
finery, it is announced by the of
ficers of the sulphur company, will
be begun on the tidewater proper
ty.
I The Alaska Sulphur company is
a Chicago corporation formed un
der the laws of Delaware, with
head offices in Chicago. It is fin
anced by Chicago capital. William
Wallace Johnston, an oldtime Alas
kan, now a Seattle resident, is
president. Otto L. Erickson of Chi
cago is vice-president, and Thomas
H. Landswick, secretary-treasurer.
Akun island is one of the Aleu
tian group, lying about forty-five
miles westward from Unalaska and
Dutch Harbor. The sulphur depos
! its to be developed by the company
are situated practically on Lost
Harbor, a deep water, all year har
bor. A tramway less than two
miles long will connect the sulphur
I deposits with the company's ocean
1 terminal in the harbor. The wire
1 less station at Unalaska will be
used in keeping the Chicago of
1 fices in touch with the mine.
In the last two years, the Alaska
Sulphur company has purchased the
■sulphur deposits from the original
[locators of the claims on the island.
From the locators the company ac
quired 400 acres, and is now buy
ing forty acres on Lost Harbor
from the government as a site for
its terminal facilities and refinery.
‘•Reitze, Storey & Duffy, Seattle
engineers, reported on the deposits
for us,” said President Johnston.
•‘They made fourteen different drifts
and estimated that there is 560,000
tons of sulphur in sight of 50 per
cent ore, with a comparatively small
amount of excavating done. The
ore is a soft, chalky substance and
can be handled with pick and shov
el, but we will use steam shovels.
The report of the engineers shows
that the ore weighs 55 to 60 pounds
a cubic foot.”
From the Dent Lumber company,
the Alaska Sulphur company bought
the gasoline towboat Wanick, 18
tons, built four years ago in Ta
coma, and she is being taken Xorth
on the freighter. She has been re
christened the Sulphur.

Agricultural and mining activities
in the territory served by the gov

Pass, are indicated by recent com
mercial freight shipments from An
chorage.
Two hundred and eighty-seven
thousand, six hundred and thirty
seven pounds of commercial freight,
in the period between April 22 and
April 30, were forwarded from An
chorage to Matanuska, Wasilla,
Houston, Talkeetna and various oth
er stations on the line of the trans
portation system.
Of the total, 23,670 pounds were
forwarded to Matanuska and 85,594
pounds to Wasilla. The freight to
Matanuska and Wasilla consisted
principally of agricultural seed and
general store stock.
Twenty-nine thousand, eight hun
dred and eighty-nine pounds of
freight were forwarded to Houston,
and 31,100 pounds to Talkeetna.
Most of the freight to Houston and
Talkeetna consisted of supplies and
equipment destined to the Willow
Creek and Cache Creek mining dis
tricts.
Farmers in the Matanuska valley
look forward to the best season in
the history of the district. The
ground last winter was not frozen
so deeply as in former winters, and
was ready for early planting this
spring. While the quantity of the
yield will not exceed former pro
duction, the quality is expected to
be much superior.
