JUDGE PADDEN ON
WAY TO EAST TO
VISIT CHILDREN
I
I
WELL KNOWN OLDTIME RESI
DENT DILLINGHAM REGION
FOR 22 LONG YEARS.
Former U. S. Commissioner
To Undergo X-Ray Examination At
Mayo Brothers for Slight
Throat .Affliction.
P. T. Padden, former United States
i Commissioner and postmaster at Dil
1 lingham, Bristol Bay, one of the old
est and best known residents of the
Far Westward Alaskan port, plans
departing from Seward the first of
the week for Seattle. Judge Padden
has been troubled with a slight af
fliction in the throat and may go to
i the Mayo Brothers hospital at Roch
ester, Minn., to under treatment. The
Judge, who arrived in Seward Friday
on the steamer Starr, is a guest at
the Hotel Sexton.
* In general, the fishing season, thru
out the Dillingham area has not been
as good as in former years, it is
stated, due primarily to the short
season. There were ample fish pro
cured, while the season lasted, but
the brief time the canneries were
permitted to operate, about 20 days,
they packed thousands of cases of
salmon. A fair estimate of the can
nery crews employed in the district
this season is placed at 2,500 men.
This represented the crews in the
eight canneries in that region. Over
300 powered fishing boats, each ca
pable of carrying about 3000 salmon,
I were used in the industry. Practic
ally all of the large and famous
oldtime sailing vessels have been re
placed by steam vessels, the Judge
stated.
Little Mining Activities
Placer mining in the region is
slowing down considerable with but
few claims being worked and little
prospecting going on. Those engag
ed in mining are just existing, tak
ing out enough pay to make a liv
ing. Mr. LaSalle, the “Frenchman’s”
ground on Butte creek, Good News
Bay, is worked out, as is also the
claims of Jack Carlson, adjacent to
the Frenchman’s ground. Fred Mc
Garry, is building a new boat and in
stalling a new engine in it for pros
pecting purposes. It will be a swift
water craft, adapted for those wa
i ters.
I Billy Keefer, the oldtime prospector
from that region, is now in Minneap
; olis on a visit. R. A. Smith, anoth
er well known resident of the Bris
tol Bay town, has purchased Mr.
Keefer’s boat and is going prospect
ing with it.
Harold Harris, has also built him
self a new power boat and engine.
He has been awarded the mail con
tract between Dillingham and ^»fan
atak During his spre time he roams
the hills, prospecting and trapping.
Frank Wasky and Mrs. Wasky are
prospecting in the Good News Bay
region. Mr. and Mrs. Beverly Pol
| ly are also in the hills in quest of
the “mother lode.”
Water Moose Mine Paying.
The Water Moose placer mine, in
the Good News district, has been op
erating steadily for the last few
years, under the management of its
owner, Joe Jeane, storekeeper and
butcher. Last year, $6000 was taken
out and the year before about $12,
000. Judge Padden states last year,
Mr. Jeane was unable to get suf
ficient help to operate the ground
more extensively.
At Dillingham, where John Nich
olsen conducts a fox ranch, he has
recently entered into the commercial
field, opening a general store.
For the first time in the history
of the Alaska Packers activities in
that region it has been announced
they will keep open their large store
the coming winter.
Marshal W. N. Reed, is perhaps the
most ardent radio fan in the entire
Westward region, it is stated. He
started with a small radio receiving
set last year and this season had
a new and larger machine sent in to
him. Both have been set up in the
same room, where the marshal spends
many hours of time, while off duty.
It is also a great source of entertain
