BISHOP ROWE IS
AT FORT YUKON
LETTER STATES
ffrlLL REMAIN AT MISSION UNTIL
ALL FLU INDICATIONS
HAVE DISAPPEARED
In a letter to A. E. Rucker, city
attorney, Bishop P. T. Rowe, of Alas
ka, who is at Fort Y'ukon, en route
on an inspection trip thru the Terri
tory, writes that the flu epidemic
wa3 very severe but is now under
control. When word reached him of
the epidemic, Bishop Rowe was at
Dawson. He was rushed down the
river in a small boat, accompanied
by nurses. Later another nurse
arrived from Fairbanks, via an air
plane. The greatest difficulty in
combatting the disease was experi
enced in feeding the sick, the Bishop
writes, for at one period of the epi
demic^ there were over 300 cases.
Bishop Rowe is remaining at Fort
Yukon for some time and will con
tinue on his annual trip to other
missions until the situation at Fort
Y’ukon satisfies him that all danger
is over.
He announces in the letter to Mr.
Rucker that Mrs. Stringer, wife of
Bishop Stringer of the Y'ukon Ter
ritory, accompanied by her daugh
ter, will soon be visitors in Seward.
They will arrive here from the In
terior over the Alaska Railroad.

SEVENTY MILE
REGION IS DRY
SAYSOPERATOR
BRYANT FAMILY AFTER FIVE
YEARS IN DISTRICT PACK
UP AND GO SOUTH.
COMES FROM MONTANA
Lack of Transportation Is Serious
Handicap—No Roads Or Bridges
Are In the District.
The four Bryants of the Seventy
Mile district, Mr. and Mrs. D. A.
Bryant and two sons, D. A. jr., and
J. D., were Seward arrivals last Sat
urday from Nenana, departing yes
terday on the steamer Yukon for
the States. The family were in the
district for the last five years work
ing hydraulicking property on Alder
Crek, near Eagle, owned by Mr.
Bryant's brother. According to Mr.
Bryant they do not anticipate re
turning bur. plan locating somewhere
Outside.
Lack of Water In Region.
The latter part of the present sea
son has been exceptionally dry and
the lack of water has sadly handi
capped operations, Mr. Bryant 3aid.
The pay has held up as good as usu
al, really better than usual, it was
stated, amd especially on Alder creek,
but the scarcity of water held the
gold output back very much.
New Hydraulic Outfit.
it was rumored, just about the
time Mr. Bryant left the district,
that a large hydraulic outfit would
soon be moving in on American creek,
near Eagle, and that small operations
would be carried on in the near fu
ture.
All Taking Out Pay.
There are three hydraulicking out
fits in the district now, two of which
employ about eight men respective
ly and the third one employing but
one, being a one man outfit. All are
making operations pay. There are
also are three shovels in outfits.
These are William Russel, Carlson
and Nelson and A. Turnbull. Mr.
Turnbull is just doing a sufficient
amount of assessment work to hold
his property. If there was a contin
uous flow of water for a 90 day
period, the hydraulic outfits would
do exceptionally good, Mr. Bryant
stated.
Also Need More Roads
The country needs more roads, in
fact, there is practically no means
of transportation at the present time,
Mr. Bryant stated, up to the Seven
ty-Mile. All of the road work which
has been done lead up to Forty-Mile.
In making their trip out, Mrs. Bry
ant was forced to ford numerous
rivers and streams, on the way to
Eagle. There are no bridges across
the Seventy-Mile.
Pay At Various Depths.
Pay is found from four to 20 feet
in the district. On the Russell
ground pay is found at two and one
half to three feet; on the Bryant
property it is found at depths av
eraging from four to eight feet and
on Crooked creek, including the
muck, it is struck at 20 feet.
On Fourth of July creek, down the
river, at a distance of about 18 to
20 miles, the Vandeveer people of
Sedro Wooley are Understood to be
doing very well.
Lots Game In Region.
Game is plentiful all thru the dis
trict. Lots of caribou are roaming
about and on the way out, the fam
ily ran across many of them. The
flu epidemic was just beginning to
subdue when the Bryants left. Ev
eryone in the region seemed to have
had a siege of the sickness. No white
people died from the flu but five
Indians, living in the village one and
one-half miles above Eagle, died
from it. Mr. Bryant is a “Flathead
er,” from Kallespell, Montana, and
while in Seward met a few other
“Ftatheaders.” In all probability the
family will head that way, if only on
a visit to their former home.
Pedro Zarillo, after serving 30
years of a life sentence for murder
at Sao Paulo, Brazil, declined a par

prison life.
Major A. E. Ransom, insurance ag
