village. Mr. Connolly remembers on
ly one case of violence, a shooting
caused by an attempt.at claim jump
ing in Canyon creek. No one was kil*
fed, but one man did receive a flesh
wound. With this exception, disputes
were settled in an orderly manner.
In cases of stealing, either the City
Recorder or Mining Recorder called
a meeting of the miners, and the case
was decided by the miners sitting to
gether. There was no jury. If the ac
cused was found guilty, he was placed
under guard, placed aboard the next
boat, and told never to return, under
threat of dire consequences. Justice
was swift, certain and inexpensive.
In the fall of 1S97 the rush into the
Klondike took away a good part of
the population of Sunrise, but the loss
was regained in 1S9S, when many
more came in. But the pick and shov
el days soon passed, and as those days
passed the population began to drift
away. Sunrise lost many inhabitants
in 1900, and still more in 1901. To-day
it stands largely deserted, awaiting
tlie development and consequent in
crease in activity promised by the
'building of the new road.
And thus Mr. Connolly completed
the history of the village where he
has lived since he came there in 1896.
He has never been outside, although
he has brothers and sisters living in
the states whom he would like to see.
“But,” he says, “Perhaps it is better
if I don’t see them, for if I do it will
;be so much harder to part again.”
j The Cheehako rose to go, and bid
| Mr. Connolly good night. He had
! heard a story that night that was in
I tenselv human—a story of patience
: and of faith that a city at one time
great would some day resume its for
mer activity. He could but hope their
faith would be rewarded.
And now but one day remained be
| fore the end of the Chechako’s jour
ney.

REINDEER TAKES STBOLL
ABOUT CITY STREETS
If the many visitors in Seward to
day could have arrived yesterday
morning they would have been quite
astonished to have seen a fine look
ing reindeer strolling about the
streets and whenever he came to a
likely looking bunch of clover or
grass take a few bites before going
on. The deer, property of the Bureau
of Education, is one of the two the
Alaska railroad has been taking care
of all summer, and was just getting
better acquainted with Seward yes
' terday.
During the past month a tract of
gold bearing land extending from
Rock creek to the east of Nome and
as far west along the beach ds Jess
creek, has been staked by numerous
parties and the claims have since be
come the property of the Allen Min
ing company of Bluff, where they
have their initial investment and
plant. It has been learned that the
company intends to work the beach
sands along the coast in the same
manner as they are doing at Bluff.

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
