NORTHERN NOTES
Carl Engstrom, head mechanic of
the Kennecott shops, had his arm
broken in two places, his hip frac
tured and head cut while working on
some machinery in the power plant
last week.
Through popular subscription, a
saluting cannon has been, procured
at .Sitka and will be used as a time
signal gun being fired from the U. S.
Cable Office, on the second, at ele
ven a. m. daily, Sundays and holi
days excepted.
A fire at Kennecott last Saturday
| night, a week ago, destroyed the
building housing, the tailing donkey
| engine, and only quick action saved
: the laundry building. The donkey
i engine was little damaged and was
I soon put back into commission.
i Two large devil fish were brougnt
I in to Ketchikan last week from the
' west coast by a halibut boat and
placed on exhibition at the Sanitary
Fish Market. One of the fish was
of exceedingly large size, having a
spread oi sixteen feet.
Harry Allen, for years connected
1 with Boss Bakery and J. N. Spence,
' but at present following the mining
game on Gold Bottom creek, left Daw
son early last month. Harry reports
having struck a riich pocket on his
claim and is planning on taking out
a large dump before the breakup in
May.
Negotiations involving three local
firms were completed recently at
Ketchikan whereby William Nickey
has purchased the equipment of the
Ketchikan Bakery, Roy Ryus, former
owner and proprietor of the Ketch
ikan Bakery, leaving the business, and
the quarters formerly occupied by
the bakery being leased to Thatcher
and Collins, dealers in hardware and :
sporting accessories.
The first important strike at Mayo j
for the year was made recently by j
Alex Gordon and Sam Moreau. The
strike was made on Sourdough Hill,
thus bringing all the big hills in j
the Keno belt into the producing
column. The owners are sacking J
their ore for shipment. This new :
discovery is hailed with great satis
faction and it has increased the con
fidence in the Mayo camp. All
other ore producers are doing well
and working to full capacity.
| A most terrible accident occurred
: at Mayo early last month near the
j Treadwell Yukon camp when Wil
liam (Bill) Colt art was instantly
: killed by faling under one of the
! company’s big tractors when in mo
tion. He had been working for this
* company for a long time and was
- most popular. He was well and la
■ vorabiy known throughout the ter
ritory. His tragic death has cast a
i gloom over the entire community.
I His death was purely accidental,
I with apparently no one to blame un
less it be poor Bill himself. He
came to Glasgow, Scotland, and was
45 years of age.
George Lvsell, of Chicken creek,
reached Dawson last month after a
i five-day trip by horse and cutcer.
Lysell reports conditions as being
rather quiet on Chicken and the ad
joining creeks this winter, but he
states that activities are about to
start up this spring, especially on
Jack Wade, where the mining com
pany under McCandless and part
ners is planning on doing a good deal
of work with scrapers and also writh
hydraulic machinery. According to
the Chicken creek miner, the lower
river distriict has shared the mild
weather, which seemed to be general
in the Yukon and Alaska this winter.
