ALASKA DOTES
(From our Exchanges.)
Henry .Manning, n eleelrlcul engin
eer and a former well known resident
of Alaska, died at his home in Seattle,
recently.
The body of a man by the name of
Frem was discovered adrift in a small
boat in Passage canal recently by
residents of that place and after an
examination of the body by a number
of residents there, and it was ascer
tained that death occurred front nat
ural causes, the body was buried
there.
John Carlson was taken Into cus
tody at Anchorage recently for the
second time, and will be examined as
to his sanity. He was released the
first time on the recommendation of
a physician, but has since showed un
mistakable signs of insanity.
The Army and Navy Journal in one
its issues this month contains an
article about the tentative plans for
the fortifying of Resurrection bay at
Seward. The plans spoken of are
suggested by the war college and show
that the country is receiving atten
tion again.
Jack Sutherland, organizer of the
Alaska Labor Union, recently return
ed to Anchorage from the Matanuska
coal fields, and reports that he saw
sixteen prospectors sizing up the sit
uation there and that four outfits
were running tunnels and making
thorough prospecting tests.
A large brown bear entered a min
er's cabin on the Fairbanks trail and
carried off a couple of pillows, a ham,
and a box of cartridges. At least,
the man claimed it was a bear, as
tracks were seen all around the cabin,
lie evidently believed in preparedness
and was getting ready to hibernate.
Judge Jennings lias dissolved the
injunction restraining the town of Pe
tersburg from paying for the city elec
tric light plant recently purchased.
The court holds that the deferred pay
ments not being due do not consti
tute an indebtedness in excess of the
city income, but is in the nature of a
lease.
At the .invention of Episcopalians

<'Initial! of Juneau was elected dele
gate to the convention at St, Louis
next October, with Rev. C. E. Betticli
er of Fairbanks as alternate. The lay
delegate chosen was J. II. Cobb, of
Juneau, with B. I). Stewart of Juneau
as alternate.
"Bob” Sheldon came over the trail
from Chitina to Valdez this week. Mr.
Sheldon was one of the first men in
the territory to start in the stage busi
ness, and is still doing his daily bit
between Chinina and Fairbanks. He
now drives a Cadillac car which has
been in service four years and is still
good for many thousand miles yet.
Seward papers give the olticial time
in the footrace at that place July f as
It* 1-5. The Seward aggregation is a
pretty fast hunch but if there is a
man in Alaska that cun make a hun
dred yards in 10 1-5 he is a great
many kinds of a blank fool for hiding
his talent in this country. There is
real money awaiting him outside.
About a year ago Mabel James, the
wife of Billy James, a well known in
terior mining operator, was reported
to haye been arrested and convicted
of murder in New York and had been
sentenced to life imprisonment. Re
cent advices state that she has been
living near Boston for several years,
and was never arrested in New York
for murder or anything else.

ago in a cabin on the tide flats. He
had tied a string from his toe to the
trigger of a 25-35 rifle and holding
the muzzle to his head pulled the trig
ger. He was 33 years of age.
According to the latest reports in
mining circles the United States Re
fining & Smelting Company will ex
ercise its option on the Ebner mine
ill Last Chance Basin and will carry
forward an extensive plan of devel
opment which will rival the opera
ns now under way on the part of
the Alaska-Uastineau company and
the Treadwell group of mines.
