TO GO AHEAD
WITH BIG DEAL
SAYS WHITWORTH
ENGLISH FINANCIER IS FAVORA
BLY IMPRESSED WITH PROP
ERTY NEAR SEWARD
WILL BE INVESTIGATED LATER
Leaves for Interior this Morning to
Inspect Properties—-Will Return
In a Few Weeks
With respect to the Mile 43 1-2 big
ore dyke, G. Lionel Whitworth, Eng
lish financier who has a personal op
tion on the property, stated to the
Gateway representative yesterday that
he anticipates going a head with the
deal but as to the time of beginning
a preliminary inspection, diamond
drilling and other necessary work,
nothing definite had been arrived at
and at this time no public announce
ment as to the probable future activ
ity could be given out. The option
he holds from John Wackwitz and the
Howes, owners of the property, was
secured on the last day prior to his
departure from Seward last summer.
No time since has been given to the
matter, It is a hard rock propisition,
entirely different from his other Alas
ka holdings and therefore he will pro
ceed slow and cautiously with his
plans.
Mr. Whitworth stated he did not
want to create a false impression in
the minds of Alaskans, that he was
coming here and develop the property
on an immense scale, therefore, the
proposition will probably lay idle for
an indefinite period until he and his
engineers find time to investigate it
thoroughly.
Mr. "Whitworth arrived in Seward
Saturday on the steamer Victoria,
from London where he left just about
a month ago. He will inspect pro
gress made on the Tanana Valley Gold
Dredge Company, Ltd., dredge on up
per Fish Creek, Fairbanks district,
also his own properties on lower Fish
Creek and on Engineer Creek. With
in a period of two or three weeks he
will return to Seward en route back
to his Manchester headquarters. He
returns to Alaska again next April or
May. "While in Seward Mr. Whitworth
was a guest of the hotel Van Gilder.
McCombe Boys, Fairbanks
Will Spend Christmas
Folks at Vancouver, B. C.
On a brief trip to Vancouver, B. C.,
Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCombe and
John McCombe, all residents of Fair
banks, where they are attending the
Alaska College, leave Seward tonight
on the Victoria. The parents of the
McCombe boys are speeding westward
from Montreal just to meet their sons
and spend the holidays with their new
daughter, for “Bob” was married in
Fairbanks last June to Miss Alta Her
zer, well known in Seward and a for
mer resident of Anchorage. Mrs. Mc
Combe will accompany her husbands’
parents back to Montreal where she
will be joined next summer by her
husband.
The father of the McCombe brothers
is one of Canada’s prominent physi
cians and surgeons, Dr. J. McCombe.
The family are in control of large
lumber interests. “Bob” and John
have entered into the mining game in
the Interior, having purchased claims
on Nugget Creek, Ester Dome. This is
their junior year at college. They
are among the leading athletes in the
“Heart of the Golden North.” The
brothers plan returning to Seward on
the next trip of the Vic.
Fairbanks Contractor On
Way Seattle on Business
Jack Tobin, who with his partner,
John Howe, were the contractors for
the power house, new wing and dor
mitory at the Alaska college at Fair
banks which contract as been com
pleted satisfactorily is in Seward en
route to Seattle on business. Mr. To
bin arrived in town Saturday. He has
mining interests in the Copper Moun
tain district. While awaiting the de
parture of the Victoria he has been
a guest at the hotel Van Gilder.
Council meeting tonight.
"When Spring Time Rolls
Around., I Shall Return,”
Says Young Henderson
“I’ll be back next spring,” yodeled
John M. Henderson, a member of the
engineering staff of the Bureau of
Mines department for the past season
in the Moose Pass district in an in
terview with the Gateway yesterday.
Henderson has not been out at the
pass since the 20th of last June and
| is infatuated not only with his work
but with the country in general. He
departs this evening on the steamer
Victoria bound for the Oregon Agri
cultural college where he will em
bark upon his junior year. He is
studying logging engineering in the
forestry department. Henderson will
be remembered by many local baseball
fans as having pitched a couple of
games for the local giants last sum
mer. Sidney Rood, who left town last
week for the U. of W. and Henderson
were former bunk mates.
