SIX TRAINED MINK
ONE RING CIRCUS
AT NUKA BAY MINE
OWNERS WILLING TO PRESENT
TO SEWARD ZOO—PERFORM
TRICKS AT COMMAND.
It was stated in the Gateway last
spring that the “Three Horsemen,”
Smith, Alec and Papetos, Nuka Bay
quartz mine operators had trained
‘two mink, a male and a female, the
animals becoming so domesticated
that they conducted themselves more
like housecats than a creature of
the wrild. Now, it is reported, the
mink family has increased to six,
and they make themselves perfect
ly at home. The antics of the mink
family is the cause of much amuse
ment to the miners who say, watch
ing the mink is as good as going
to a circus. Smith and Alec are
training the younger animals and in
this connection it might be of scien
tific worth to know that one of the
mink will law down at a command;
roll over like a dog; sit up on his
haunches; jump thru a hoop, and
bark like a fox. In time the part
ners hope to make hard-rock miners
our of the mink tribe.

Ellsworths On Way to
California, Overland
H. E. Ellsworth, Seward business
man, who, with Mrs. Ellsworth ahe
making an auto trip to California
from Seattle, sent to the local cham
ber of commerce a pamphlet des
criptive of Wolf Creek Tavern, es
tablished in 1857, which is no«w lo
cated on the Pacific Highway. The
Ellsworths stopped there for a brief
rest October 9, according to the brief
inscription on the pamphlet which
also added it was decidedly a splen
did place for Alaskans to stop. From
a photograph of the tavern it cer
tainly appeared so.

BASEBALL
OPENSSEASON
SEWARD CLUB
__
GOOFS WIN HANDILY FROM THE
SCRUBS LAST EVENING BY
SCORE OF 15 TO 13.
The official opening of the indoor
baseball season was inaugurated at
the Seward Athletic Club, where a
swarm of local citizens and visitors,
crawled over one another in order
to obtain an unobstructed view of
the battle royal between the Scrub
and Goof nines. With Olson perform
ing brilliantly in the pitcher’s box
and Hopkins on the receiving end,
backed up with an albstar in and
outfield, the Goofs won handily from
the scrappy Scrubs by the close
score of 15-13.
It was the consensus of opinion
that indoor baseball is as much sport
as outdoor, if anything, a great deal
faster. The baselines and outfield,
thru necessity, are much shorter, with
the result plays are made with start
ling rapidity, and ending just as
quickly.
Though all of the members of the
Goof aggregation wielded a wicked
bat, Len Olson featured as the ‘Babe’
Ruth of the game. For the Scrubs,
“Pop-eyed” Bailey was frequently to
the fore, but the devastating work
of the battery, Tom Dyer, twirler,
and “Chubby” Tinkler, backstop, was
conceded by all as the backbone of
the defense.
The only fault fojnd with the
game last evening was the extreme
ly poor umpiring of “Flat-footed”
Steve Glasseye.' Several times he
was chased around the diamond, rea
dy to be chastised, only to slink back
again.
The line-ups were as follows:
