WOULD LIKE TO
MISS FEW BOATS
VISITORS AVER
CONTRARY TO PREVAILING OPIN
ION TOURISTS WOULD LIKE
TO REMAIN HERE
Contrary to the prevailing Alaskan
opinion about missing too many boats
there arrived in Seward last evening
four charming ladies from the Inte
rior, tourists all, who would like to
miss a few boats in order that their
stay in Seward especially, might be
extended a few weeks. The ladies
referred to, the Misses Cathryn and
Emma Schneider, Miss Martha Tweed
dale and Miss Gertrude Rotter, all
> hail from the State of Ten Thousand
’ Lakes, St. Paul, Minnesota, being
their home town. As Miss Cathryn
Schneider stated, “Where all poor fish
come' from.”
The party arrived in Seward on the
steamer Northwestern, the same ves
( sel on which the Nile Temple party
i arrived on. When the Shrine dele
gation discovered that the ladies were ;
all members of the Eastern Star they
were practically adopted, as they were |
in Fairbanks, where they had bestow
) ed upon them an honorary member
ship in the “Alaska Sourdough Club.”
, Each of the ladies wear the insignia
of this popular order, a jeweled breast
! pin, a replica of the placer miners
outfit,— the renowned gold pay, pick
and shovel.
A delightful time was enjoyed in
the Interior region, and on the return
trip down the Alaska Railroad, jj, stop
was made at the Mt. McKinley Na
tional Park, where all took an auto
ride far into, the depths of the most
northern National Park in the United
States. An all night stop was made
at the fine railroad hotel at Curry;
two days and three nights were en
joyed at Anchorage, and the party
then came to Seward last evening on
the accommodation train.
Cal Brosius and H, V. Hoben, prom
inent business men and bachelors of
Seward, took it upon themselves to
see that the young ladies were prop
erly cared for, but upon arrival in
Seward last evening Mr. Brosius had
one awful time finding proper accom
modations for them. This was evi
dently anticipated by Mr. Hoben, who
is still in Anchorage with the re
mainder of the Shriners, but who is
returning home on this evening’s
train, for he stated to the ladies that
providing all the hotels were filled
up, Mr. Brosius might find blankets
for them and let them sleep out in
the open on the greensward of one
of his parks. Fortunately Mr. Bro
sius. who is a hustler, secured rooms
for the party and all were happy.
Quartz Miner Attacks Bear
Armed with Pick Handle;
I
Rifle Used Spells “30”
_ |
Wliat was formerly a perfectly good
bear is now stretched out seven feet
across a rack in one of the Nuka Bay
quartz camps, as a result of Mr. Bruin
getting too familiar with the camp
in question. The idea is not a bad,
one, better ones have been seen, but
the method of getting the bear was
just a little bit different from what
big game hunters generally follow.
In other words, after arriving at the
camp bright and early one morning,
much too early for the hard-working
quartz men to roll out for the com
ing day’s work, the bear began to
root about the camp site making so
much noise that rest was impossible
so one of the men slipped into his
boots and grabbing up a pick handle
let fly. Instead of beating it as any
sensible bear would have done, this
bear was vicious, with the result that
he passed in his checks, pronto. Now
his hide is stretched out on the afore
said drying rack.
Urbach’s for Shoes. 229-tf
Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Zyvoloski, resi
dents of Anchorage, were arrivals on
last evening”s special passenger
coach service. They are guests at
the Sexton.
Chicago burglars drilled through
the door of an iron safe that was not
locked and got a dollar in pennies for
their trouble.
If men wear it, we have it. Urbach.

“QUALITY FIRST”
SECOND MILL FOR
NUKA BAY WILL
GO IN IN SPRING
FOUR PARTNERS WILL SET UP
ELLIS BALL MILL ON NEW
PROPERTY, SPRING.
Four partners, called “The Four
Horsemen,” by their numerous inti
mate friends in the Nuka Bay quartz
group, Frank Skeen, Dennis Hurley,
John Rice and Otis Harrington, have
what they consider is probably the
finest quartz mining proposition in
the entire rich and newly discover
ed district. The property lays about
one mile south of the Alaska Hills
mine at an elevation of 1500 feet, or
about 3400 feet from tide water, and
has been named the “Nooka Group.”
The vein has been traced back
for a distance of 700 feet and an av
erage assay on the ore brought $40
a ton. Considerable development
work has been accomplished and is
at present under way. This consists
of open work and shallow shafts.
According to the plans of the four
partners sufficient development work
lias now been done to warrant the in
tfi
stallation in the spring of an Ellis
Ball mill of approximately 15 ton
capacity.
The vein is very large on the av
erage and cross-cuts the formation
running east and west. It is a true
fissure vein and is very attractive
in appearance. It is stated there are
no contact veins in the entire region
of Nuka Bay. A trail to carry in
supplies has just been completed by
the partners. Both Mr. Hurley and
Mrs. Rice are in Seward at the pres
ent time.
MRS. RUCKER LEAVING
Mrs. A. E. Rucker, wife of City
Attorney Rucker, of Seward, received
a message that her mother, Mrs. C.
S. Arbuckle, of San Diego, California,
is seriously ill, and she will leave on
the steamship Alaska tonight. Her
absence will depend upon the condi
tion and convalescence of Mrs. Ar
buckle. In the meantime Mr. Rucker
will join the ranks of the many bach
elor benedicts.
Orah Dee Clark, school teacher,
who has been spending the summer
months at Anchorage, arrived in
Seward last night. Miss Clark is
registered at the Hotel Overland.
