Hnrr.\ Clarke Coe, Jr„ son of wealthy
parents who live in Boston, Mass., was
recently located in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Coe disappeared from his home neat
Hoston on January 13, and was much
sought after by his anxious parents
and his young wife, whom he had de
serted. The young man has decided to
remain in Alaska and will mine In the
Tolovana country this year.
C. W. Young, one of the old pioneers
of the town of Junenu, died recertly
at the hospital of Mayo Brothers at
rioehester, Minn., ofllowlng an opera
tion of a serious nature performed
about a month earlier. He was aged
about 62 years. He retired from active
business in 1906 and has been travel
ing most of the time since. It is said
that he was worth about a quarter of
a million.
Ilnvlng bought copper deposits, free
gold veins, silver ledges nnd coni
measures, the Guggenhelms varied
their annual mining procedure by clos
ing a deal for the purchase of a river,
from the bottom of which It is ex
pected they will garner several million
dollars in gold dust and nuggets, says
the Cordova Times. The Yukon Gold
Exploration Company, a Guggenheim
corporation, with a capital of about
$20,000,000 has bonded 11 miles of the
Kenai river, near Seward. The
amount involved in the deal is close
to $2,000,000, divided among a number
of different claim owners, bonded for
i purchase outright and the others will
lie operated under a lease on a royalty
basis. The tract is regarded ns one of
the biggest dredging propositions in
the Northern country.

lier and machine shop combined, is
now enroute to Unalaska, and after
making necessary repairs to the west
ward radio plants, will come to Cordo
I va for a two month’s stay. She Is due
here on September 27 and will this fall
begin the erection of one of the six
largest naval wireless stations in the
United States. The Prometheus car
ries a crew of 400 men and a mechani
cal force of 60. The new station is to
be constructed nt Mile 13, along the
Copper River & Northwestern Rail
road. Two 300-foot towers, 700 feet
apart, will be built of steel this fall
with a view of erecting another tower
later. The equipment and machinery
for the plant will not be installed until
next year, although considerable of it
will be received here this summer and
placed in the Whlteshed station.—Cor

Judge C. E. Bunnell, of Fairbanks,
has directed that hereafter all commis
sioners shall make a transcript of the
testimony given before the criminal

Eric Bodtn and Henry Htubbs are
* the first arrivals of the year from Chis
ana camp, having reached here last
night in a small boat via the river
route, says the Fairbanks News-Miner
They left Chisana about the first of
May. Coming down they met with lots
of Ice but got through without serious
danger or difficulty. The water is re
ported very low for this season of the
year. Bodin this morning said that he
believed Chisana would produce only
nbout $200,000 this year.
A singular story has been reported
to Bishop Stringer, of Yukon, concern
ing some sort of an alleged Messiah
who Is operating in the south end of
the Tukon Territory. It nppears that
a native who was born and lived all
his life near Dalton Post, in Northern
British Columbin, was taken sick Inst
* fall and after a few days passed away.
But forty-eight hours later when his
relatives were preparing for his burial,
he arose and proclaimed himself the
Messiah. Before his demise he was fa
miliar with no language except that of
his own tribe, but since his resurrec
tion he is able to converse with the
priests in English, Latin and many
other tongues. He declares that while
his body lay in a state of comu, his
spirit had been transpired to heaven
where he was instructed in a full
(knowledge of languages. Since his
recovery he has gone about teaching
the Indians the tilings which they must
do to be saved. The new religion is
said to have attracted wide-spread in
terest among the natives, many of
whom are now ardent believers in the
Messiah.—Ex.
All the ties and piling that it is pos
sible to secure will lie out by the rail
road engineering commission along the
right of way, the forestry department
having already transferred great tracts
of timber lands to the railroad build
ers. L. K. McCullough, of the Forestry
service, says that the department has
given to the commission five miles on
each side of the right of way for its
use and, particularly, for the timber.
He says that some of the timber in the
district will lie perfectly fitted for rail
road uses, especially the hemlock. 'Hie
fires which occurred last month near
Anchorage threatened the place seri
ously and the service had to spend
three hundred dollars in that month
alone to fight the flames.—Seward
Gateway.
