CHAMBER LUNCH
DRAWS CROWD
A capacity crowd attended the
chamber luncheon yesterday, the
long table having some thirty mem
bers and visitors around it when
President Hinde called the meeting
to order. A number of visitors were
present, including Capt. J. H. Fos
ter, Frank Case, Al. Blair, Frank
Skeen, Dennis Hurley and Mr. Ang
ner. These gentlemen are all inter
ested in Nuka Bay properties and
came before the chamber with a plea
for assistance. Capt. Foster, who
was spokesman on the subject stated
that unfortunately the properties
were outside the forest reserve, and
therefore could expect no help from
that source, but must look for assist
ance from the Territory or from the
Alaska Road Commission.
He stated that about a mile and a
halt of road would serve the commu
nity passing or touching all proper
ties yet developed. He described the
difficulties of freighting supplies up
the turbulent river, and said that
when the bay was surveyed to allow
large vessels to come in close, the
road would give an outlet to the
beach and also to the mill on the
properties of the Alaska Hills, which
could reduce ore for the entire com
munity. Ore assaying $135 per ton
was being blocked out, and last fall
a four days’ mill run on poor rock
produced over $2,000. The values
increase as depth is attained and al
tho the lead is small it is immensely
rich. Capt. Foster judged that aboul
$7,000 would build 'a good wagon
road, and that if this could not be
secured a good trail would help
Frank Case believed that the road
would require about $10,000 to build
The other visitors made brief re
marks and were assured by Chair
man Hinde that everything possible
would be done to help secure the
project.
The secretary was instructed to
write to the head of the coast and
geodetic survey asking for a survey
of Nuka Bay.
Judge E. E. Ritchie in reply to a
telegram from the chamber sent the
following letter explaining why the
jury term for Seward had been aban
doned:
Sewrard Chamber of Commerce,
Seward, Alaska.
Gentlemen:
Answering more fully your cable
regarding spring terms of court I’ll
say:
There has been no intention ol
having the grand jury at any place
this spring unless business should
suddenly arise. Grand juries are ex
pensive. Only a few cases are pend
ing and in the most important cases
investigations will have to be made
before the district attorney will
know what witnesses he wants.
It was my intention to try at Se
ward the cases 'involved in the al

Elks and Shriners will also have a
large number of delegates at their

Capt. O. A. Johansen in a short
talk on the necessity for aids to nav
igation along the westward coast,
l urged the members to get busy. He
stated that mariners were working
! with charts compiled GOO years ago
j by the Russians, and that hundreds
of miles of the westward coast with
| its bays and harbors remained un
charted. He emphasized the need
I lor lighthouses and blinkers, and
| stated that the westward district
: looked to Seward for whatever aid
| necessary. Capt. Johansen stated
that the fish companies were behind
the project and would assist in ev
ery way. The Captain concluded by
pointing out the millions spent in
trying to enforce the prohibition act
hut it was impossible to get proper
safeguards to life and property.
The committee reported on the
Jesse Lee Home project, which is
moving along quite satisfactory to
