20 STAMPEDERS BACK
WRANGELL FROM THE
OLD CASSIAR DISTRICT
WRANGELL, Oct. 4.—Twenty stain
peders returned here Monday from
the new gold strike on Eagle river,
in British Columbia. They reported
having reached the diggings too late
to do anything except stake claims.
They reported there is no wood with
in five miles of the river. Two days’
prospecting was done under difficul
ties but coarse colors were found all
along the river bed.
Sixty claims have been staked out
by Wrangell miners who are very en
thusiastic and will return to Cassiar
in the Spring by the first boat.
Huge Chilberg, returning miner and
business man said that he will return
in early spring and open a restaurant
and says that prices for his saleables
will range about the same as any
former camp price. Flour will be
sold at forty dollars, hundred pounds
and other commodities in proportion.
Some of the prospectors that made
the stampede to that district recent
ly prolonged their stay and are going
to saw timber for lumber for the
proposed diggings, and sell some to
other miners when they arrive in the
Spring. The price of the lumber, it
is said, will be set at $360 per 1,000
feet.
Two Stikine river boats left today
with supplies which will be discharg
ed at Telegraph creek and will be
taken to the diggings over the ice
during the winter. This was the last
scheduled trip of the boats, but owing
to the fact that fifteen persons are on
their way from Seattle bound for Cas
siar, one of the vessels will make an
extra trip, leaving Wrangell October
6 or 7.

New England Fish Co. at Kodiak is
rapidly rounding things into shape,
preparing for the erection of their
new cold storage plant at the place
Kodiak is expecting quite a boom. A
list of the passengers arriving on
the Starr will be published in tomor
row’s paper.
SUPT. CHIGNIK CANNERY
ON HIS WAY OUTSIDE
Capt. FI. DeGueldre, port captain
and superintendent of the Northwest
ern Fisheries’ cannery at Chignik is
a Seward visitor today, having arriv- \
ed on the Starr.
Capt. DeGueldre reports a very sue-'
cessful season around Chignik, approx
mately fifty thousand cases of salmon
being put up by the Northwestern
Fisheries, the Columbia River Packing
Co., and the Alaska Packers Assn.,
all of whom have canneries in that
vicinity.
According to the Captain, the weir
count proved very satisfactory to the
canneries this year. Under this new
system the fish are counted, fifty
per cent of them being allowed to
escape to the spawning grounds and
the other fifty pel cent taken by the
canneries. Under this method of fish
ing and counting by the governent,
the future salmon industry of Alaska
is assured.
Mr. DeGueldre will remain in Sew
a:d for a few cays until the airival
01 the Northwestern, w'hen he will
leave lor hG heaaouarters in the

NORTHLAND NOTES
Goldstein’s Emporium, one of the
largest and best equipped department
stores in the territory gave a fash
ion show during the recent fair in
Juneau and had expert models come
up from the States to display their
“wears.”
The meeting of the Alaska Fox
Farmers’ Assn., which was to meet
in the capital city was so small in
attendance that the meeting was ad
journed before any business was
transacted.
The Episcopal Mission house at
Fort Yukon was totally destroyed by
fire recently, according to a message
reaching here the other day. The
building was two stories in height and
housed about ten native orphans. It
is s tated that the orphans have been
moved into one of the Bureau of Ed
ucation buildings until other arrange
ments art made for their care.
It is estimated that the present
shed is being lengthened an addi
tional 100 feet on each end. Huge
timbers are strewn over the ground
l'or a considerable area. A siding ac
commodates extra engines and the
work train.
In the opinion' of Dr. Alfred S.
Brooks, chief of the Alaska Bureau
of the U. S. Geological survey, the
time will arrive when the present
railroad line running from Seward
to Fairbanks, will become the trunk
of a system of railroads touching
every point in central Alaska where
natural resources demand.
The head of the bureau of fisheries,
Mr. Studdert, in an interview recent
ly in Anchorage, said that the 1925
Fair will be grouped with a demon
stration of fish, which, he said, would
have been displayed this year if time
would have been extended. It is his
intention of collecting a variety of Al
aska fish for next Fair.
Anchorage is so brim full of the
get-up-a-tiv-ness that the Alaskan is
running a missing word contest in
their paper, with cash prizes. Leave
it to Anchorage to keep its citizens
in harmony.
Much activity is noted at Mile 72
on the Alaska Railroad where a large
force of men are at work construct
ing additions on each end of the
long snow shed.
Frank Berk, another old timer
passed away at the Pioneers Home.
Mr. Berk was born in Australia in
1856, he came to America in 1874,
and came to Alaska 49 years ago.
The last ten years he had been lo
cated on the Yukon River near Ruby,
until a year ago when he became ill
and went to the Anchorage hospital
for several months, afterwards be
ing transferred to the Pioneers
Home. He leaves no known relatives.
Mr. Condit of Sitka offciiated at the
funeral.
