TO BE SHIPPED OUT IN SPRING
That he will start work soon
on Si Scrafford's antimony
lease at the head of Treasure
creek, was the statement of Jack
Pomeroy, superintendent for Mr.
Scrafford who arrived in town
from a trip to the outside last
mght, says the Fairbanks Citi
itn of January 16.
The mining man states that he
expects to have at least i,oootons
of antimony ready for shipment
bv the opening of navigation. Ed
Qt';nn who is interested in the
jm(position, has been busied all
winter in opening up the ledge,
rherefore Mr. Pomeroy feels that
it will be no trouble at all to put
on a crew of men, take out that
much ore at least. However, he
v. ill »ake more ore if it is possible,
a« it is the intention of Mr. Scraf
ford and associates to ship out all
of the antimony they can . In
cthei words they are "making
hav while the sun shines,’’ for
they feel that there is no telling
when the war will stop, and it is
predicted that shortly thereafter
thfrt will be a slump in the price
of antimony wdiich will not be
pleasant to the operator who has
dug a large quantity of ore out
of the ledge and who still has it
on hand.
Mr Pomeroy reports that they
expect to do even better with
their ore during the coming sea
son than they did last. Their
proposition last summer was
merely one of development, Mr.
Scrafford having been the first
man in the Tanana valley to suc
cessfully mine antimony ore. It
was Mr- Scrafford’s intention
when he went outside to secure a
Ismail smelting furnace and smelt
at least part of the ore here,
i thereby obviating the necessity
of paying transportation charge
on a large quantity of unproduc
tive rock.
Mr. Scraffiord himself is in San
Francisco at the present time, ac
cording to Mr. Pomeroy. He is j
j expected to arrive in Fairbanks
1 within the next month or siv
| weeks. While he was in Seattle
he was told of an antimony prop
osition near Seward, and made a
trip up the coast to see what it
looked like, but decided not to
do anything with it.

Although but very iitle has been,
said-about the matter, it is under- :
stood from an authoritative source!
that rats are overruning the city,
to such an extent that the city
council has been called upon to
investigate their presence here and
to see if ways and means for their
extermination cannot be provided.
Discussion of the subject is to be
taken up at the council meeting
tonight according to the report
says the Fairbanks Alaska Citi
zen of January 24.
It is stated that the rats are be
coming thicker here every day
They are in practically all of the
cellars of the town, and although
but little has been said concerning
their presence, it is understood
that they have been instrumental
in destroying a considerable quan
tity of merchandise this winter.
Many of them have already been
caught and killed. At the fire hall
a trap is set continuously for
them, and it is said that scarcely
a night goes by but that at least
one rat is caught.
One of the councilmen stated
yesterday that he thinks that the
present is the best time to get
rid of the rodents. They are un
able to move from place to place
—
now, on account of the deep snow
and the cold weather, but if they
are allowed to remain unmolested
until summer they will increase t*»j
such a number that they will be j
a pest and it w'ill be hard to get
rid of them,

NOTES;
The uncivil war between Sew
ard papers has reached that one
point where one accuses the other
of being a corner on d—d fools.
Walter Quinn, of Valdez and
icinity for the past several years
was recently admitted to the Sit
■ Pioneers’ home. He is a native
of Great Britain, but has lived
nearly all his life in America. He
came to Alaska in 1895.
The sudden violent convulsions
of Senator Sulzer over the stand
of Delegate Wickersham on the
matter of statehood for Alaska
are taken by an exchange as an
indication that he senator has
on ambition of his own
Some of the good women of
Seward are doing a noble work
these winter nights which may
broaden into a larger field. They
are teaching English to a class
of Russians who are eager to
learn the language of the coun
try in which they live.
Schwabacker Bros. Co. whole
sale grocers, of Seattle, and the
Schwabacker hardware dealers,

articles of incorporation in the
office of the secretary of Alaska.

caught on a set-screw .crushing
it so badly that it was necessary
to amputate it just below the
knee. Dr. Bunch performed the
operation, and the patient is re

No effort was made to collect
poll taxes in Alaska the present
season, owing to the belief that
the law was defective. The ter
ritorial officials sent out word to
the various commissioners to that
effect some time ago. However
there is reason to believe that in
some of the more isolated districts
of^laskaanattemgtniayhave
been made to collect taxes. Tn
case this should prove to be a
fact and the ones paying the
money should show their receipts
and demand a return of the
amount it is likely the collector
would have to dig up.
i '
According to an evidently in
spired article in one of the finan
cial papers, the Alaska Gold Min
es Company, is going to 9top
increasing the tonnage sent to
the mill at he expense of grade
ot the ore and for a while will
make tonnage secondary to a
grading of the ore. By February
it is hoped to have the mill run
ning on $1.50 ore. The delivery
of tUe ore to the mill will be in
creased later as rapidly as the
development of the mine will per
mit it. The experience of the \1
aska Gold iMnes Co. is another
example of the principle that the
opening of a mine so as easily to
furnish 10,000 tons of ore diilv
is more of a job than the building
of a mill to treat it.
