ALASKA NOTES
(From our Exchangee.)
The Jury in the case of Robert E.
Dunbar, it signal corps man, charged
with giving liquor to Surah Yaska, an
Indian woman, was tiled In Ruby re
cently and Dunbar was acqulted. It
was proven that the Indian stole the
liquor, unknown to Dunbar, and that
he was guiltless In the transaction.
Miners who have returned to Ruby
from the stampede to Hndzana ex
press the opinion that the pay located
will prove to be a small spot of placer
and 9tate that even with a considera
ble distribution of gold It would be
difficult to mine at a profit on ac
count of the huge glacier that forms
on the creek each winter.
Postmaster Deal Is in receipt of a
letter asking him to locate Sam Her
ron. Mr. Herron will be remembered
by many of the old timers He mar
ried a daughter .of Captain John Ha
ley, und was In Dawson in the early
days.
According to the letter Mr. Herron
disappeared from his home In Trlni
did. Col., sixteen years ago under
mysterious circumstances. He has
not been heard from since by his rel
atives on the outside.
He is described as u man 60 years
of age now, six feet tall, broad shoul
dered and of sandy complexion.—Fair
banks News Miner.
The Alaska -Hast Ineau mine, located
at Thane, a few miles from Juneau,
shattered the worlds' mining record.
Figures Just compiled show that this
nr>< , • ter mine, probably the greatest
in the world, handled and crushed 600,
000 tons of ore and milled 160,000 tons
at an average cost of 60 cents per ton.
The record was made during the
month of September and surpasses all
previous mining records. The plant
and the capacity Is now being In
creased, The feat Is considered a tru
ly remarkable one. and is due in no
small sense to the great attention to
detail and the thorough system thatj
Manager Thane, of the company, has
demanded In the work at the Oastln
eau.—Fairbanks News Miner.

in a recent letter received by K. B.
Collins, speaker of the territorial bouse
of representatives. W. W. Getchsll, a
representative from the Nome district,
I who Is now at Seward, asks the en
dorsement of the Fox man for a plan
he has for opening a sanitarium at the
railroad terminus. Mr. Getchell hopes
to open a sanitarium which will be
In a position to take care of all the
Alaska Insane without sending them to
the states.
Mr. Collins stated yesterday that he
was in favor of Mr. Getchell's plan,
or any other plan that would prevent
the insane from being sent outside
where they do not receive as good
treatment as they are entitled to.
Mr. Getchell passed through Fair
banks last winter on bis way to the
coast and at that lima he had In mind
a plan for opening a sanitarium which
would be suitable for the care of the
Alaska Insane. He was a represen
tative business man of the Seward
peninsula for a number of years and
Mr. Collins thanks he would be capa
ble of providing an Institution that
would be far more suitable for the
care of the Alaska Insane than tht
Mornlngsidb sanitarium.
Another man, who uiunages the Sit
ka hot springs. Is anxious to take care
of the lusune of the territory and as
sures the legislators that he could
give them more and better attention
than they are now receiving. He has
.in excellent location for such a sani
tarium and several of the legislators
are expected to back him up for his
light to take the care of the patients
away from Dr. Coe, the manager of
the Mornlngside sanitarium.

EASY TO BE BACK NUMBERS.
IC’olumbus, U., Dispatch.)
one of the easiest things, these awlft
moving days. Is to become a back
number. A lawyer may school him
self thoroughly In the knowledge of his
profession, but If be Is to win, he must'
i
continue his study; (hero will bo some-j
thing for him to learn every day, and
then he will wish for longer days In
which to learn more. So with a phy
sician, especially with a specialist.
Every day is sure to add something
to his particular science, and he must
know it. If he Is to lead. What Is true
of these two professions of law and
medicine is true of every profession
and skilled employment, The knowl
edge, which Is all the time accumulat
ing. one must have as certainly ns the
carpenter must have his tools.
That Is why It Is so easy to be
come a back number. Keeping abreast
of the knowledge peculiar to one’s oc
cupation Is hard work and constant
work, but the reward Is abundant for
the man who thus exerts himself.
Years may come to silver his hair, but
he is still the master of his task, and
he will not be distanced by the new
comers In his field of endeavor. More
over, his keen interest will keep him
young, his continued success will con
serve his health, and he will serve
. better and live longer. Don’t by any
sort of a letdown run the risk of be
coming a back number.
Tou oan keep your friends outside
posted by having the Nugget mailed I
to them for CO cents per month.
THE SOUND OF SHARPNEL. j
(Scribner's.;
Have you ever heard shrupnel, by
my chance? No? Wei, it sound* a;
much ns anything else like a winter
gale howling through the branches of
a pine tree. It Is a moan, a groan, •
shriek and a wall rolled Into one, and
when the explosion comes it sounds as
though some ono had touched off a
stick of dynamite under a grand piano.
And It Is not particularly cheering tc
know that the ones you hear do not
harm you, and that it is the ones you
do not have time to hear that send you
to the cemetery— E. Alexander Powell.

WALDOS MEAT
MAY DE CANNED
FOD MARKET

i .
CapuUn E. B. Hoffman, who was In
charge oi the power boat J. b. Abler,
the vessel that was totally destroyed
by tire recently, staled In aa inter
view that he felt confident that wal
rus meat would be canned on an ex
tensive scale In the near future.
The meat Is as Juicy and Usty us
the beat cut or beef," said Captain
H off man. "I have eaten lot* of It In
the Arctic region, and 1 Know that an
effort Is now being made to perfect
plan* to begin canning the meat of
the walrus."
Captain Hoffman further stated that
Capt. O. A. Anevik. who was in charge
of a large hunting expedition on the
Corwin In Bering sea water* recently,
which party killed over 1,860 walrus
in a little over three mouths, has been
giving much consideration to the can
ning of walrus meat for a long time.
Capt. Anevik Is an old skipper among
the Ice floes of the north. He has
| eaten tjie meat at all times and under
all circumstances, and has pronounc
ed It excellent to eat and possessing
nutritive quantise.
basing the conclusion on the en
thusiastic statement of Captain Hoff
man as to the many virtues of wal
rus meat as a food, and the fact that
countless numbers of the animals
abound In the Bering sea region, it Is
safe to say that somewhere on Seward
peninsula will go up a cannery for the
purpose of canning the meat of the
walrus, and that It wlU in time be
come one of the most sought for foods
of the country.---Juneau Dispatch ••
