S. Chamber of Commerce’s conven
tion now in session at Seattle include
representatives from Nome, Juneau
and Seward, according to a telegran*
reaching Seward today. George
Schofield for Nome, Allen Shattuck
for Juneau, and Jack McCord for

gram received in town a few days
ago that Anchorage was to have a
representative at the convention but
no word to this effect was received
in yesterday’s message. Ketchikan
also has a delegate but that city’s
representative’s name could not be
learned.

Board of Pharmacy issued a certifi
cate as licentitate in Pharmacy to Rev.

First Methodist Church of Seward,

shelves. Mr. Graham was for many
years with the L. L. Holmes Drug
Store at Milner, Ga., and was amongst
the first to register in the State of
Idaho.

Working on Manley’s Ditch
at flat up to November 15
The enterprise which, Prank; Manley
one of the best known of the early day
operators, who two years ago re-en
tered the Alaska mining game after a
retirement of many years, has em
barked! upon in the Flat district, is an
immense thing, say recent Seward ar
rivals from the rich down river camp.
Up until November 15, the ditch crew
was still at work on the 14-mile ditch
which will tap the Bonanza river. The
season has been the longest many of
the oldtimers ever recalL Mr. Manley
passed through' Seward on his way
to his home in California over two
months ago.
OPENING DAYS OF OKLAHOMA
STRIP REPEATED KIMBERLEY
KIMBERLEY, S. A., Dec. 10 (fi>)—
Scenes similar to those enacted in
Oklahoma when the strip was thrown
open for settlement, have been wit
nessed repeatedly in different parts of
the South African diamond districts
within the last few months on large
areas which heretofore had been con
sidered barren.
There are thousands of persons who
have become nomads, wandering over
the country and engaging in every
rush possible to stake out claims at
the opening of diamond diggings such
as took place some weeks ago at Oer
sonskraal near Bloemhof. The race,
as in Oklahoma, is made on foot or
horseback by men and women, while
others follow up the rear with their
covered wagons ground permitting, to
furnish the diamond seekers with
supplies.
The area to be staked out is pro
claimed by the government, usually
aftei} some lucky prospector make dis
covery of traces of the precious dia
monds. Claims are staked and a new
camp begins.
The disappointment of the diamond
diggers has been great. At most but
two per cent of the men make a stake
and in most cases a fortune slips thru
the miners’ fingers through drink,
gambling and sordid living. Only 25
per cent make a decent living, 10 per
cent some kind of a living and quite
63 per cent sink into increasing dis
tress said an investigating committee.
Jack Robarts, former Anchorage
resident who is also well known in
Seward, with his family left Se
attle recently in a new Nash car for
San Diego. Mrs. Robarts had consid
erable trouble with an eye during the
past year but under the care of a spe
cialist is much improved.
