SEWARD POST OF
AMERICAN LEGION
AT FIRST MEETING
OCT. 31, IS DATE SET FOR “HIGH
- JINX’' DANCE AND BIG
ENTERTAINMENT.
To Erect Club House
Series of Dances To Be Held This
Winter—Attendance Last
Night Small.
Few members of the local Am
erican Legion post, the regular old
standbys, attended the first meeting
since spring of the organization, last
' night, which was held at the Fire
' Hall. The old guard was full of
“pep” and the snappy get-together
event was of first rank. Strenuous
front line efforts will be made in the
next few days to make a frontal at
tack on the lazy members with the
view of laying a trap for them to
attend the legion meetings so that,
if it be possible, sufficient funds can
be raised by entertaining methods,
to build a clubhouse next year.
First Vice-Commander Sheldon
' presided over last night’s meeting.
Plans were outlined to hold a “Graft
Dance,” a regular days of ’49 affair,
at which all kinds of gambling de
vices will be running rampant, in
cluding the “three shell game” and
trie crooKea raro layout. uancmg
ot' course, will be the main attrac
tion but it is believed the union bar
tenders will be kept on the jump all
evening, serving over the rough
plank bar, kickless drinks. The date
set for this night of frolic is Octo
ber 31.
It was voted last might to make
a contribution to the Harding Me
morial. During the social session
this winter, the legion plans holding
a series of dances for the purpose
of swelling the treasury receipts to a
point where action can be taken
with regard to erecting a premanent
club house. It was stated that post
cards had been mailed to every mem
ber of the local post previous to the
meeting last night, notifying them
of the date of the meeting and for
all to be on hand. Also that two
notices were inserted in the Seward
Gateway, never-tlie-less the small
number responding was extremely
disappointing.

Frank Skeen Says Short Stretch of
New Road Is Commendable
Piece of Work.
Following a 42-foot fault in the
lower tunnel the lead was picked up
in the Alaska Hills Mines company
at Nuka Bay last week, according
to Frank Skeen, one of the officers
of the company, who has been in
Seward for the past number of days.
The lead apparently is richer than
ever and measures between 14 and
15 inches in width, cuts the formation
and is solid in place. The fault was
struck anout ten ctays ago and since
that time driving has been going on
steadily. The news of picking up
the lead was received with much ela
tion, especially when it became known
the ore is of the same splendid qual
ity as that of the previous, if not
better.
The cyanide plant is just about com
pleted and will be in operation with
in a few days, it is announced. Car
penters have 4he three tanks com
pleted at this time. It is expected
that at least 80 per cent of gold will
be recovered from the tailings.
Mr. Skeen commended the work
of the Alaska Road Commission crew
which recently completed the two
mile road to the mine. He states,
for the small amount of funds ap
propriated for the project, he has
never seen a better piece of road,
anywhere in the Territory, and es
pecially, when it is remembered that
so much hard rock was encountered.
Until he returns to the property
the first of the month, Mr. Skeen
is a guest at the Hotel Sexton.
