! MINING NEWS FROM
FAIRBANKS DISTRICT
—
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
At Chena the barge Bedweiser is
j being loaded with antimony ore.
which is to be sent to the outside. The
steamer Reliance will have a capacity
load on the trip down the river as
far as Tanaua, at which point the
ore will be transfered. Another big
shipment will come down from the
upper Yukon river, so that when the
packet Susie leaves Tanaua it will
have a cargo of approximately 3,000
tons of ore.
While it cannot be definitely learn
ed just how much antimony ore will
be shipped outside during the coming
season, it is probable, according to
information obtained from mining
men, that the output of the summer
of 1916 will be In the vicinity of 3,000
i tons.
From the Stewart river district on
the upper Yukon river there will be a
big production of antimony also, so
■ that the total production of antimony
in the north will be at least 6,000 tons
and possibly as high as S,000 tons.
According to a recent letter from
an oldtimer of the Interior, who is
i now prospecting in the Tolstoi dis
| trict in he Innoko country, Boob
creek obtained its name in a pecu
liar way. Regarding this he says:
"I put up a little money to send a
! man down there to do some prospect
ing. We were fortunate enough to
j find a good prospect and 1 am glad to
say it has its indications of good pay.
! It looked like a folish venture in the
beginning, so foolish, in fact, that we
named it •Boob' creek. At this writ
ing it looks as though our venture
was anything but a boob stuut”
According to advices received from
Dome creek a recent cleanup made at
the ground being worked by Gideon
& Quirk proved good one, consider
ing the amount of dirt that was taken
out. From 90 feet of bedrock 50
ounces of gold, or approximately $850
was taken out. This would mean
that the ground ran better than $9
j to the foot. (

CARPENTER’S STORIES
OF THE NORTH
The business of the Alaska can
neries is enormous. I went through
one in Ketchikan that will put up se
ven and one-half million cans of sal
mon this year, and, in addition will
freeze hundreds of thousands of
pounds to be sent to the east, says
Frank G. Carpenter in the Christian
Herald. The buildings of the ean
! neries cover several acres and the fish
are brought in by the boat loads and
dumped out by the thousand. When
! they reach the wharves they are so
; fresh that they are still kicking and
I they fairly fly through the "iron
I chink," a machine which cleans each
I fish, cutting off its head, tail and fins
and taking out its insides within the
| time of a watch tick. It used to be
j that all this work was done by hand
i and those hands were usually those
of a Chinamen. When the machine
was invented to take the place of a
Chinaman it was nicknamed the
“iron chink,” and so it is known to
; this day. The inventor was a cook
of Seattle named Smith, who made a
fortune out of his invention. The
machine will clean 30,000 fish in a run
of 10 hours, as much as was formerly
done by 50 of the most expert Chinese
Nevertheless, the machine is not much
bigger aroupd that a flour barrel and
not more than eight feet in height.
It consists of a number of knives so
arrr.r ed by machinery mat as the
fish fly in one knife cuts off the head
and at the same time another cuts off
the tail.

STARVED TO DEATH
NEAR FOOD CACHE
ID1TAROD, Alaska, April 22.—How
| two men starved to death within easy
I mushing distance of plenty of sup
j plies is the story just brought here
from Ruby.
Deputy Marshal Jack MacCormack
of Nulato, buried Jack Lahey. Bob
Lang, of Kovukuk, and will make a
trip up on the last snow to look for
the body of Tom Wilson, Lahey’s
partner, who went to get assistance,
but never returned.
Wilson and Lahey left Hughes late
late in the fall, in a small boat, bound
for Nulato. They froze in at the
mouth of Hog river, and reached Kol
! sac’s cabin, twelve miles above FoT
i tv-mile cut-off, November 3, without
j grub. They got a little grub from
! Kolsac. a native and declined to wait
I and go down with Kolsac later, as
i they were In a hurry to reach Nualto
' to get a wood contract from the wire
! less station.
Leaves Week Later.
Kolsac left about a week later, but
when he reached the cut-off he saw
j where their sled track went on over
the cut-off.
By way of the river it is 160 miles
to where Lahey's body was found,
fifteen miles above the lower end of
the cut-off. Fifteen miles farther
down was Peter Kokrein’s cabin
stocked with grub and six miles from
where La hey died was a trap line
which was run at intervals, but the
hard-presed men were ignorant of
these sources of relief. They had
hauled about 350 pounds between
1 them with one dog. It is probable
that they played themselves out with
this heavy load, or they might have
reached safety.
Letters in Cabin
Two letters were found in the ca
bin. The first one written was sign
ed by both Lahey and Wilson. It
stated that they were out of grub and
starving; that there were no birds,
and that rabbits were scarce, and that
they had eaten the dog. The letter
also contained an order for grub on
Evans at Koyukuk station. It was
after writing this letter that Wilson
started back up the river for help.
Wilson was a member of the Fra
ternal Order of Eagles at Wilkinson,
Wash. His relatives live at Gig Har
bor, Wash.
