WAS THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER
.>
James Tak, former Seward resident, was the original
discoverer of coal in the Chickaloon region. Mr. Tak made
his discoveries about 32 years ago. At that time he did
not make any locations, as the possibilities for transporta
tion within his lifetime appeared quite unreasonable.
Hence he paid no further attention to the coal de
posits and left that section of the country. About 22
years ago, he learned of the proposed building of the Alas
ka Central Railway, and this caused him to return to the
scene of his find and cover the coal measures with legal lo
cations. For two years Mr. Tak spent all of his time on
the coal property and in that vicinity putting in his time
developing the deposits and prospecting for precious me
tals. Isaac Banter was his partner in 14 coal claims.
According to Mr. Tak’s figures on distance, his coal
property was located about 190 miles northerly from Sew
ard. The claims were about two and one-half miles up the
Chickaloon river* which is a tributary of the Matanuska.
The preliminary survey of the old Alaskan Central rail
road passed over the top of the veins that he had located.
JUSTICE FOR THE INDIAN
There is almost a touch of irony in the news from
Washington that the government at last is showing a fav
orable inclination toward the Indian claims. These claims
are not, as many people seem to think, an appeal for char
ity to the Indians because the white man took their lands.
The claims are based upon solemn pledges made in trea
ties between the Indian chiefs and the President of the
United States.
The Indian made his fight to get a square deal. As
soon as this was promised by men he trusted he stopped
fighting. Many moons have passed and the promises have
not been kept.
SEE AMERICA FIRST”
A Norwegian scientist thinks he has found evidence
lantic to the Pacific in 1010. This must have been the
lantic to the Pacific in 1010. This m ust have been the
original “See America first” group of tourists.
IT MEANS NO
If the great statesman says he is inclined to sympa
thize with the spirit which prompts the proposal and that
he will take the matter under serious advisement, the ulti
mate answer is No.
