Robert Henderson, one of the

ern says the Seattle Post-Intelligen
cer, in the early days of the Klon
dike rush he was known as the pack
horse of the Dyea trail. He frequent
ly carried burdens over the summit
that the ordinary man couldn’t lift
and the trail was about twenty-five
ipiles long. He made his record
when he carried a cook range,
weighing 350 pounds over the pass.
He is a brave of the Ojibway tribe
of Indians, born in Manitoba, and
practically all of his life has been
spent in the employ of the Hudson
Bay Company. Though now seventy
four years old, he is still one of the
best mushers in the North. Last win
ter he mushed forty miles in little
better than sixteen hours, including
time taken for meals and rests. He

MINING MAN DECLARES
SOUTHEAST LOOKS GOOD
“There are more prospectors in
this section of the country than I
have ever known before and pros
pects look pood for successful mine
developments.” said George T. Jack
son, former manaper of the Alaska
Gastineau Mining Company, now of
Seattle, representing mining inter
ests in Alaska. Mr. Jackson re
turned to Juneau recently from
Chieagoff where he inspected the
Hirst-Chichapoff Gold Mining Com
pany property and a number of
prospects in that district
With the continuation of prospect
ing as it is now being carried on
Southeastern Alaska will see some
good mines in the future. Mr. Jack
son said. While practically every
prospect is now in an early stage
of development the increase of pros
pectors and extensive work will
make for big properties

district where he spent two months
lt' in quest of the elusive paystreak.
*■ He came down the Koyukuk river
• on a mail launch, connecting with
1S another launch at Koyukuk station
le and finally connecting with the
’e Government steamer Jacobs a: Ruby
He reports very little rain in the
is Koyukuk district up to the time he
left there, the result being a very
■T, considerable curtailment of mining
d operations throughout the camp. Mr.
■r Hedstrom left for Anchorage on to
• day’s train

The Weachter Brothers fishing
outfit returned from the mouth of
the Yukon river on Sunday on the
launch Mary enroute to Fairbanks.
A very poor season is reported, the
scarcity of fish being attributed to
over-fishing during the operations
of the big Carlisle cannery several
years ago, particularly four years
ago when this season's run was
spawned.
Fr. Monroe was a returning pas
| senger on the Government steamer
i from Tanana, to which point he ac
j eompanied Bishop Crimont. He will
; return to his headquarters in Fair
banks this afternoon.

SHERMAN ROGERS IS BACK
FOR MORE DATA ON NORTH
Sherman Rogers, of New York,
the nationally known writer whose
articals on Alaska, published last
year in the Outlook, were widely
read and favorably commented upon
by the press, returned to Alaska
on a recent boat to gather addition
al information. He is accompanied
by Mrs. Rogers.
Rogers says that he is at work
now on another series of articles on
Alaska, which are to run in the Out
look starting with the October num
ber. In these articles he intends to
go deeper into the fisheries ques
tion and lumber and pulp industries
of the Territory. He has come north
to pursue his investigations and will
spend some time in Juneau and also
later, in Ketchikan.
That his articles in the Outlook
proved of considerable value to Al
aska by arousing interest in the
northland and helping to eliminate
false impressions prevalent n the
East, is certain, Rogers declared,
judging the number of inquiries that
poured in from all over the country
and also by the storm of criticism
that they brought down on his head.
He asserted that some of the big
business men of the East still main
tain however, that Alaska has no
water power and doubtless are pri
vately of the opinion that he was in
dulging in a pretty piece of fiction.
So he is going to drive home the
facts this time.
When Juneau's first mixed pury
takes the box in Xovmber, full ac
commodations will be ready for both
men and women, according to Judge
Reed, who says that work will be
begun in August to prepare for
this innovation in Alaskan court
circles. The present grand jury room
will be divided and' remodeled to
take care of jury members during
prolonged sittings.
This improvement will be part of
the $6,000 expenditure which it is
hoped to make on the court house
this season.
Charles E. Taylor, of the pioneer
Iditarod law firm of Albrecht & Tay
lor, arrived in Xenana last night
enroute to Fairbanks on a brief pro
fessional visit and will complete his
journey to the division headquarters
on this afternoon's train. Mr. Taylor
had hoped to arrive in time to par
ticipate in the Presidental reception
but was held up along the river
as a result of the suspension of the
Government river service. He and
a number of others from Iditarod
spent about ten days at Holy Cross
awaiting the arrival of a steamer and
finally started up river on the mail
launch Sibilla, meeting the steamer
Jacobs at Ruby, bound down river.
They all boarded the Jacobs and re
turned to noiy ^ross, wfiere they
made a new start for Nenana. but
too late to see the Presidential party.
Mrs. C. W. Tibbetts left for the
States today for an extended visit
with relatives near Seattle. She pro
bably will be joined later by Mr
Tibbetts and it is possible they will
take up their residence permanently
in tile States.
