[CROUCH DEPARTS
FOR STATES ON
ACCOUNT HEALTH
> ---
AFTER LENGHTY STAY IN INTER
IOR ALASKAN VISITOR WILL
LEAVE FOR SOUTH
Forced to return to the States ow
ing to illness, Earl F. Crouch, who
arrived in Seward some weeks ago
f in company with Hal G. Evarts, left
last night on the steamer Northwest*
ern for Seattle, enroute to Los An
geles to visit a specialist.
While in the Interior Mr. Crouch
spent a few days at Fairbanks and
at Chatanika, later going to Ester
j Creek and Quartz Hill. At the lat
> ter place he looked over the Ryan
lode with Ben Thompson, with the
view of interesting Outside capital.
From there he went to Bannek Creek
near Richardson, to see a big quartz
dyke. This was a fine looking pros
pect, he said, and is owned by a Mr.
! Shuff, who was the locator.
The Interior looks very good to Mr.
Crouch, who anticipates returning
next year. He wanted to stay in Al
aska for at least another month this
i time and was regretfull to leave.
While in the Interior he became in
terested in the tourist traffic, espec
ially with the possibilities of erect
jiing a large tourist lodge at the Sum
mit. He seriously considered for a
time the taking ahold of this propo
sition, erecting such a resort, but af
ter due consideration believed the
cash outlay would be too great for the
small and slow returns, and with the
limited number of tourists who go
through.
Mr. McCloskey has a fine 40-spom
hotel or road house at Richardson,
and here Mr. Crouch spent several
days. The highway need3 a great
deal more money spent on it, Mr.
Crouch stated. To McCarthy the road
is in excellent shape, but from that
point on it is in rather poor condi
tion, he said, owing to the glacier
streams meandering across the road,
and the numerous slides which have
come down.
Bob Hatcher Stakes
Big Water Power Site
In Nuka Bay Region
It is believed that the 1,000-foot
waterfall on the West shore of the
North arm of Nuka Bay, located
about two miles off shore line and
which wrater site Bob Hatcher re
cently staked, is one of the largest
falls of water on the Alaskan coast
line. A tremendously large size gla
cier, extending for miles at a high
altitude is constantly feeding this
fall of water.
The torrent of probably ten feet
in width, at the top, jumps off into
sheer space to bhe first shelf 1000
feet belowr where a deep pool has
been worn into the solid rock. From
this shelf the stream falls for many
hundreds of feet again, thence emp
tying into the bay. There is ample
power going to waste daily here, it
is stated, to keep hundreds of mills
operating.
At Mile 18, Louis Bell, premier gas
boat man on Lake Kenai, painted up
the sea-going craft of W. O. Bremner,
and launched it Sunday. The boat is
24 feet in length.
TO FLY TO ANCHORAGE
The Curtis seaplane, all dolled up

three miles out from tho Inlet town
and it is expected a large delegation
will be at the lake to welcome the
intrepid airmen to the Inlet town.
Hawley Sterling, superintendent of
