PRICE TEN CENTS
Will SOLVE VITAL
MAJOR LANPHIER WOULD LIKE
TO RETURN NEXT YEAR
TO CLEAN UP JOB
CORDOVA, June 16. (£>)— Major
Lanphier blamed a late start and lack
of gasoline for the failure of the Wil
kins Arctic expedition. He said he
was convinced the only way to succeed
is to take gasoline in by water to Pt.
Barrow and do the flying in March
and April.
“I still would like to go back next
year and clean up the job. It ought to
be an easy task finding land above
Barrow. I believe the airplane and ra
dio to be the solution of Interior Al
aska’s transportation and communi
cation problems,” he said.
A thousand dollars was recovered
from the plates alone during one day’s
regular run last week of the Alaska
Hills Mines Corporation big mill,
Seward arirvals from Nuka Bay
reported this morning. And the re
covery was not from a cleanup.
The company recently hit a streak
of high grade ore so rich that it is
said it resembled jewelry. Even the
dirt pans out rich.

IUSU HAS MINT PEAKS
FIR SURPASSING THOSE
SWETZERLIND, STITEO
THREE TOURISTS MAKING CIR
CLE TRIP LAUD SCENIC
BEAUTIES OF TERRITORY
Captivated by the charm of Alaska,
three gentlemen tourists, arrivals in
Seward yesterday from Seattle, de
clared where Switzerland has one
Mount Blanc, Alaska apparently has
thousands many of which surpass by
far the famous European peak. And
this statement goes for the remainder
of the Alaska scenery in comparison
to other portions of the globe visited
by them.
The trio paid their compliment to
Seward in speaking of the wonderful
ly natural setting for a townsite, the
cleanliness1 of the city and the hospi
tality of its citizens. The travelers,
F. H. Stoddard of Aurora, Til., M. A.
Benton of Upland, Cal., and W. B.
West,, also from Upland, were initi
ated into the inner workings of the
motorship Boxer, once famous Arctic
the Siberian coast vessel, by Capt.
Frank Whitlam, who personally es
corted them thru his staunch craft
for which courtesy the visitors appre
ciated highly.
They also evidenced much interest
in the annual race classic of Seward,
the 4th of July Marathon Mountain
race, and wished they could have
been here to have witnessed it. But
they are en route on the Circle trip,
up the railroad to Nenana, thence by
river to Dawson and back to Seattle
via Skagwav. They depart tomorrow
morning for the Interior.
