SEWARD NEWS ITEMS
FROM 20 YEARS AGO
The Gateway will publish in each
issue, hereafter, a few notes taken
from its files of twenty years ago.
While many of the items may not be
of interest to soem it is hoped the ma
jority selected will stir up almost for
gotten memories of those “good old
days:”
Townsite Patent Received
No doubt but that when the Santa
Clara next arives doubters and all
others will have an opportunity of see
ing the U. S. Government patent to
the Sewhrd townsite.
Both Major John E. Ballaine, and
Frank L. Ballaine have written Dr.
W. W. Ballaine and Banker F. G. Hale
that the patent is now in their pos
session. Although it is not yet known,
but it is presumed that Mr. Frank Bal
laine will have this important docu
ment with him when he arrives on
the next trip of the Santa Clara.
G. W. Dutton was a passenger on
the Excelsior bound for his mining
property at Illiamna, says the Pros
pector. He has a number of men
with him and will build a road from
the mines to the beach. He intends
to open up the property this year and
will get out as large an amount of
ore as possible for a smelter test so
as to ascertain its real value. As to
the magnitude of the ledge he has not
the slightest doubt. Mr."T)utton has
19 men and 13 hor^s with him for
the season’s work.
Believing that the shad would make
their way into waters of the North Pa
cific, Supt. Wetherbee, at Kusilof, on
Cook Inlet, offered a reward to the
fishermen who should catch one. On
ly one shad was caught.
