BODY OF OLDTIMEB
FOUND ON BEACH
AT SELDOVIA
MIKE KNUTSEN, FORMER SEW
ARDITE AND PIONEER DIES
AT HALIBUT COVE
Mike Knutsen, known to all old
timers as “Smokehouse Mike,” was
found dead on the beach at Halibul
j Cove last week, death occurring aboul
j 10:30 o’clock Wednesday night, as
! his watch was stopped by water en
tering the case, when the tide cov
ered his remains. The body was
taken to Seldovia where an inquest
over the remains showed that death
was caused by organic troubles.
Michael Knutsen was born in Den
mark, about 60 years ago. He came
i to Alaska from San Francisco and
was well known in the Cook Inlet
I section where he was engaged in
building boats for several years. He
lived in Seward in T903 and later, and
was batching with George Phelps for
some time. Mr. Knutsen arid Steve
Melchoir sailed up the coast in a
small boat, going to Cook Inlet. He
has been engaged in the herring bus
iness for the past year, his pack be
ing at present unsold on the wharves
at Seattle.
I
CAPTAIN J. H. FOSTER IN
TOWN FROM NUKA BAY
Capt. J. H. Foster, connected with
the Alaska Hills Mining Company at
Nuka Bay, arrived in town the latter
part of the week from the property,
having been absent from Seward for
about a year. Mr. Foster is on his
way to Anchorage to attend a stock
holders’ meeting, and will leave on
Thursday’s train. He reports much
snow at his camp, and a bad winter
in general.
Capt. Foster said that much activity
prevailed in his district, a number of
fine properties having been developed
the past year. The vein on the com
pany’s property while small, and wid
ening with depth, runs about $135 to
the ton, and is very rich. Captain
Foster declares the region is handi
capped by a lack of roads and trails
and belidves that by building a mile
and a half of good trails much trou
ble could be saved operators in the
district, as several loads of supplies
have been lost by poling boats being
swamped. A quantity of machinery
was moved up the river by this meth
od, a slow and laborious way of trans
porting freight.
Mr. Foster will ask the local cham
ber to assist him in securing a road
for this rich district, lying directly at
Seward’s doors, and believes that by
co-operation there will be little diffi
culty in securing the money.
George Burford, traveling salesman,
left for Anchorage on Sunday’s train.
