SEWARD 23 YEARS OLD
Twenty-three years ago on August 28, 1903 on just
such a day as this has been today, the old steamer Santa
Ana dropped it’s hook in the bay; that day marked the
birth of Seward and lost in the hubbub of everyday busi
ness life, another mile-stone in the history of Seward
passes by without acclaim other than this brief mention.
From the beautiful shore of Resurrection bay, and
rugged forest, a modern city has risen, in what is after
all, a brief span of years. Doubt not for a moment that
Seward is not progressing. There is yet work to do—there
always will be work to do—to make Seward a great city
of commercial and manufacturing importance, as it will
be in the days to come. It will some day be the Stockholm
of Alaska and Stockholm contains close to 500,000 popula
tion. The first twenty years is the hardest, that’s all.
From The Gateway Files of
Long Ago
Last Tuesday forenoon five large
black wolves were in plain sight on
the mountains northwest of town.
They attracted considerable attention
from the townspeople.
Rather meager news which cannot
yet be verified, reaches the Gateway,
that an appropriation has been made
in the extent of $95,000 by the govern
ment for the purpose of extending the
cable from Valdez to Seward,
o—o—o
Much preparatory work is being
done on Dry creek, and steady opera
tions will be commenced within a few
weeks. Niebuhr, Denhart and Nixon
on No. 4 are getting their ground in
shape for extensive operations, and
the Bella Kirk claim will be vigorous
ly operated all winter by Chilberg and
Wood.

The winter season on the Kugrafc
river gives promise of being both a
busy and profitable one. A number ol
thawers have been taken into the
country, and with a coal mine witl
easy access, good results may be
looked for. The Kugrak is the larges'
gold bearing stream entering into Kot
zebue sound, and the pay streak ii
most places lies under# the tundra oi
the right limit of the stream.
* o—o—o
Considerable work has been don<
this year on Melsing creek, a tributar;
of the Neukluk, in the Council district
Johnny Morrow and party on No. :
above, Alex Anderson and party
George Markham and Little. Taylo
all had a very successful seasor
About $50,000 was taken out of thi
stream in the last two months. B(
yond a little prospecting on th
benches nothing will be done on Me
sing creek during the winter, but pr<
parations are being made for extei
sive operation® next summer.

dated from Paris the latter part of
last month, says they were then leav
ing France for London, then on to
Ireland and back to New York at
about this date.
While in Paris, which they say is a
very nice large city, they took the
opportunity to visit the castle in
which Napoleon lived and there they
saw many beautiful old paintings.
