In the last mail from Dawson fur
ther particulars were received in con
nection with the injuries sustained
by Bob Henderson, who recently fell
thirty feet from a cliff while the vet
eran prospector was prospecting on
the face of Mount Finlayson. The in
jured man was immediately removed
lo St. Joseph’s hospital in Victoria,
where at first it was thought that, in
addition to seven broken ribs, his
j lungs had been crushed. Although
i Bob’s condition was considered seri
! ous at first, the veteran Klondiker is j
I making progress and will pull thru
j his unfortunate ordeal. Bob, with Car
: mack shares the distinction of being
f
the original “finder” of the Klondike.
Dan Connolley, the Dexter Hill op
erator came into Nome recently for
the purpose of obtaining timber for use
in the shaft, as the ground is partly
thawed and becomes dangerous for
workmen. It is reported they have
found good pay in the present shaft.
Reuben and Henry, two native res
idents of White Mountain, reputed to !
be the best trappers and hunters in
Alaska, arrived in Nome and reported
that all the different varieties of fox
have migrated to the North and in con
sequence they left in that direction to
hunt and trap. Up to the time of leav
ing they had only obtained one dozen
fox so far this winter.
Isaac Hedder, who is chief herder
for the Lomen Reindeer and Trading
Corporation’s northern herds, lying be
tween the Selewick and Candle sec
tions comprising two large herds, the
Kotzebue herd contains about 20,000
and the Buckland herd about 15,000.
He, in company with his herders brot
down four thousand reindeer for Gol
ovin and about 1100 for Nome.
Peter Minton, who came down to
Dawson from Brewer creek, set out
recently for 49 below discovery on
Bonanza, where he will engage in
mining in partnership with Donald Mc
Donald for the balance of the winter.
Although he had been ill for several
months, the sudden death from heart
trouble two weeks ago of Captain Mil
lar came as a shock to his many
friends in Ketchikan, says theChron
icle. Captain Millar was a pioneer res
ident of the Ketchikan district, having
come north more 'than 30 years ago.
He has been prominently identified
with the growth of the west coast dis
trict and for the last few years has
commanded the Neil Transportation
company’s motorship Carmen.
The funeral of the late James Wil
liams, of Fortymile, who passed away
in Dawson, was held under the auspic
es of the Yukon Order of Pioneers, of
which the deceased had been a mem
ber.
A first-class fire truck which has
been badly needed in Wrangell for a
long time has been ordered.

POUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
1* The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
feari eliminated from your life-y-to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com
mitting you to any action.

Looking Ahead!
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, 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
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater 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 pains
takingly 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.”
