ritorial senator from Fairbanks, as
assistant co-operative agent in tht
field to confer with farmers and as
sist them. Mr. Snodgrass will as

visit any part of the Territory where
his services are most needed. Dr.

iar with every detail of agriculture
in Alaska and the most urgent needs
of its farmers.

DEATH SUMMONS OLDTIMER
CASE WAS DESPERATE ONE
After lingering several days at
the local hospital, following a par
ticularly serious operation, Scotty
Kay, pioneer resident of Tanana.
passed away last evening. Eearly in
the day it was apparent that he
was sinking but not until evening
was hope entirely abandoned by
those who were watching over the
oldtimer.
The deceased had been ailing for
some time prior to coming to Xe
nana and when examined by Dr. J.
H. Romig it was clear that some
thing would have to be done. An
operation offered the only chance
to save his life and if the patient
had possessed greater vitality he
would have pulled through without
doubt. The operation disclosed one
kidney madly diseased and the pre
sence of three stones, one the size
of a door knob inside the oldtimer,
all three of which were removed,
together with all but the shell of
the kidney.
The deceased rallied from the op
eration and appeared to be getting a
long nicely until yesterday when he
seemed to give up hope.
Scotty Kay came to Alaska dur
ing the stampede days and located
at Tanana in 1901, where he open
ed a hotel and continued in business
there until his death. He was 61
■
I years old and is survived by a wid
j ow and three children, two of whom
| are in Seattle. He was a member
of the Loyal Order of Moose.
The body has been taken in
j charge by the local Moose Lodge,
and instructions are now being a
waited regarding the funeral ar-*
rangements.

or ninth.

MILLIONAIRE OIL BARON
TO MINE GOLD IN NORTH
Gordon Campbell several times
a millionaire and prominent in the
oil producing industry in Montana
and other middle-west states, is go
ing to Alaska during the season,
and expects to become substantially
interested in gold mining accord
ing to information obtained recently
by The Alaska Weekly. Mr. Camp
bell has been called to New York to
close a deal which involves some
12.000 acres of oil lands in the
Kevin-Sunburst field in Montana,
and the purchase price is said to
run into the seven figures.
Mr. Campbell sprang into promi-!
r.ence in the oil industry by his
activities in the Cat Creek dome
fields, in Montana, and sold out
to big advantage in that district.
He then entered the Kevin-Sunburst
field, then practically unknown in
the oil world, and began develop
ment work which proved the com- [
mercial importance of that section.!
He organized the Campbell-Kevin j
Syndicate and the Campbell Oil,
Company, both successful concerns
and both in the production stage of
operations. Mr. Campbell is a geo
logist by profession and is given j
credit of finding both the Cat Creek i
dome field and the Kevin-Sunburst i
field.

fe
W
The deal now on the tapis com
prehends the taking over of prac
tically all of Mr. Campbell’s inter
ssts in the Kevin-Sunburst field, j
eaving him free to devote his time *
»n<J energy to gold mining, which
te has elected to follow in the fu
ture. Just what part of Alaska he
intends to interest himself, has
tot been made public, but it is like
y that the Hyder district will prove
tis choice.
