FIRST WHITE WOMAN
IN YUKON COUNTRY
TO HAVE MONUMENT
“Development! Development! De
velopment!" That has been the mod
ern cry of Interior Alaska for so long
that the beginnings of her existence
have been almost completely over
looked.
For instance, who ever stops now
adays to think of the first trail
blazers into the country, tho3e who
came here long before the thirst for
gold brought in the fortune hunters?
Whoever, in these more recent days
of Invasion by white women, ever
stops to think of the time when there
wasn’t one white woman in the In
terior?
How many of us are familiar with
the story of Mrs, John Bean, Amra
con born, the first white woman to
penetrate Interior Alaska, the first
white woman to bear a thorough
bred white child in Interior Alaska,
JIM FOLEY, ALASKAN,
CONFESSES TO KILLING
DIAMOND DUTCH
Pacifio New* Servlet.
TACOMA, Dec. 18.—Jim Foley, an1
elderly Alaskan, today made a start
ling confession which recalls tiie early
days of Nome.
He stated to the authorities here J
that in 1898 he killed Diamond Dutch
on the beach near Nome.
The reason Foley assigns for the
murder Is that Diamond Dutch had
killed Foley’s partner, Dublin Mickey.
Foley is declared by physicians to
be perfectly sane. There is no rea
son to believe he is suffering from
an hallucination or that he desires .
notoriety.
his apparent reason for confessing I
a., murder committed eighteen years
ago is rernoi se or the prickings . t j
conscience.
He eays that he and his partner,
Dublin Mickey were among those
who went to Dawson in ’98 but who
did not stay there long. With many
others they passed on down the Yu
kon in small boats. They reached St.
M'chael in time to hear the first news
of the arold discovery near the place
where Nome now stands. Having no
other means of reaching Cape Nome
other than their row boat they Set
out In this frail craft as did a few
others similarly situated.

The killing of Dublin Mickey by Dia
mond Dutch took place near Nome
and wns Immediately followed l.y the
shooting of Diamond Dutch by Folev.
He now wants to be punished by the
law for his offence.
The officers are in a quandery as to
what action to take in the case.
the first white woman to die in In
terior Alaska and the first white wo
man buried there?
She and her husband, John Bean,
came to St Michael in 1875, und went
to Nulato, where Bean traded for the
A. C. Co. Her son was born in 1S76.
In 18.8, the family, disregarding ad
vice given by whites and natives,
settled 30 nt.les up the Tanana river
where lived Indians of bad repute.
Here it wa3 that Mrs. Bean was killed
while seated at her breakfast table.
Her remains were buried at Nulato.
October 18, 1917, will mark the fif
tieth anniversary of the hoisting of
the American flag. It is planned by
Ituyb Igloo No. 6. ioneers of Alaska,
to erect, on that da>, a monument
lilting in character over the grave of
this pioneer woman.
It, therefore, will give a dance on
the ISth, and all the moneys collected
will revert to the fund for this me
morial. From time to time, the Igloo
hopes to give entertainments of var
ious kinds and will use all the fu'.ds
for the same purpose. All patriotic
Alaskans will therefore do '.heir duty
in this respect, and in the doing so,
will at the same time derive pleasure.
