INDIAN SKELETON OF
GREAT AGE IS FOUND
WATERTOWN, N. Y., Nov. 8.—A j
skeleton of an Indian believed to have
been buried before Columbus touched
tne shores of America, has been ex
humed not far from this city by an
exploration party headed by Nathan
Lucas, authority in Indian lore.
Finding of the skeleton perfectly j
preserved, in sort of a rude fireplace, i
far below the surface of the earth, in
a strata of gravel, has aroused wide
spread interest among historical so
cieties throughout New York state.
Sand about the burial spot was as
dry as if it had been baked in the
sun. This, according to Lucas, kept
the skeleton intact despite its five
centuries of rest without the protec
tion of the walls of a coffin.
Taken from the base of the old fire
place, the skeleton was placed in an
auto and brought here for exhibition
in the Historical department of the
Indian museum.
It is believed that the legs of the
once living Indian were bound in the
trussed position in which they were
found when the searching group dis
covered the remains. The hand of the
right arm was pressed closely over
the front of the skull.
Indications were, according to the
society, that the Indian was placed in
a prayerful position before the living
burial took place.
Only three instruments were found
near the skeleton—one a sewing awl,
another a polished bone headed in
strument, and the third a broken awl
made from bone. This strengthens!
the belief that the skeleton is that of
a woman.
Frank Horn and wife arrived on the!
Cordova this morning from Uganik j
where they have put in the summer
with the Kodiak Island Fishing and |
Packing Co. They will leave on the \
Northwestern for the States spending!
the winter in either Seattle or San
Francisco. Mr. Horn was formerly j
chief radio operator on the Starr.
DAUGHTER GETS BOB;
FATHER SUES BARBER
PARIS, Nov. 8,—Robbing hair
without papa’s consent is a danger
ous business in France.
Just recently an irate parent
brought suit against a Paris coffeur
who cut off his daughter’s locks
without first getting the authoriza
tion of the father. The eighteen
year-old girl in question had been
waiting for a long time to be rid
of her woman’s glory. But papa
who is a prominent Deputy, forbade
her sternly to touch the sacred hair
on her head. She didn’t; but one
day, when father was busy at the
Chamber, mademoiselle hied herself
to the Coiffeur’s and said:
“Cut ’eem off queeck!”
When the Deputy^came back to
his house there was a nice little
scene with daughter, and then he
proceeded to the poor barber, who,
of course, was unable to repair the
trouble. The father at once began
legal proceedings; and now the bar
bers around the city are wondering
what to do. They contend that they
can only follow orders given them
and with that their responsibility
ends. It will be a difficult matter,
indeed, if it becomes necessary to
exact a written permission from the
parent or husband every time the
hair is wanted short.
The truth of the matter is that
before the affair can be settled there
will be no occasion for bobbing locks,
for the wheels of fashion turn fast
—especially in Paris.
Mrs. John Gilpairick, will leave on
one of the next boats for the States.

Trial of Death and Misery
In Wake Rich Atlin Mine
NEW YORK CITY, Nov. 8.—C. V.
Bob, president 67 the Engineer Gold
Mines, Ltd., owners of the Engineer
gold mine of Atlin, V. C., said to be
the richest in the world, branded as
absurd the story told by an inmate of
the Oklahoma state insane asylum
that he is Capt. James Alexander,
one of the former owners of the mine
which British Columbia police are in
vestigating.
Bob said that Capt. Alexander is
known to have perished aboard the
steamship Princess Sophia, which
went down during a stomi on the
Lynn canal, in October, 1918. The
mining company president's statement
revealed a story of ill fortune and
tragedy attending those who was con
nected with the mine.
'file discoverer of the mine, an en
gineer who helped survey the White
Pass and Yukon railroad, was mur
dered on the shores of Atlin lake,
while on the way to Victoria with a
shipment of gold ore. A violent end
also came to the manager and fore
man of the property. The latter kill
ed the former and paid the penalty
with his own life. The mine was then
bought by Capt. Alexander, a soldier
of fortune, who won his rank in the
Boer war, and several associates.
Capt. Alexander gained a reputa
tion in the north country for being
able to drink more booze and fight
harder than any man in the north. It
was well known that he would pro
duce $50,000 to $100,000 with a small
crew of men each season on the Engi
neer mine, and wfould spend it in the
Pacific coast towns in the winter and
return in the spring to repeat the
same performance.
The captain finally sold Allen Smith j
of Philadelphia an interest in the mine
for $250,000. With this money he J
bought out his associates. In 1918 he j
granted an option on the property to
the mining corporation of Canada,
and it was in company with two of
the corporation’s engineers, who had j
just inspected the holdings, that Capt. j
Alexander was making a trip to
the Outside aboard the ill-fated Prin-1
cess Sophia. The entire passenger I
list of 268 were drowned, and among :
the bodies recovered one was identi- j
fied as that of Capt. Alexander and
buried in Juneau.
Immediately after the death of j
Capt. Alexander, a Mr. Grant, one of
the former associates of Capt. Alex
ander committed suicide in Vancou
ver. The captain had bequeathed all
his interests in the mine to Smith.
Later Smith also committed suicide,
and as a result a long court battle
over the property took place in the
Canadian courts, finally being car
ried to the house of lords, who vested
it in the Smith estate.
In 1923 the present owners of the
mine acquired the property.

PROSPECTORS ENROLL
FAIRBANKS COLLEGE
It seems more natural around the
College these days for the prospectors
are back, says the Fairbanks News
Miner. They are making hay during
the dormant period of winter and
they will be back in the hills next sea
son with a broader vision and renew
ed vigor for their work. A visitor
finds them working in the laborator
ies, between classes telling yarns in
the smoking room and at noon you
will be certain to find them in the
lunch room, fast becoming unused to
their own cooking.
Work began last Monday and to;
date there are eleven enrolled. Sev- j
eral more have sent word that they
are coming. Those now enrolled are:!
Harry Owens from the Kantishna. (It j
is needless to say that he is a pros- !
pector, for everyone in the Kantish
na is a prospector); George Foy from
the Chandalar; B. E. Shuff, from Rich
ardson: Otto Daun from the Good
pasture country; John MacDonald
from the Willow Creek District; Matt
Casalegno and C. P. Guis, placer op
erators near Fox; John Lewis, John
Fox and H. E. Norman, registered
from Fairbanks. Mrs. Homing, who
is associated with her husband in the
Mabel mine of the Willow Creek dis
trict is the only woman enrolled. She ;
brought along a shipment of mill- j
tailings from the mine which, she will j
experiment with to determine what j
additional values can be recovered by
the cyanide process.
