Last Monday the lake at An
nex creek was tapped by the
completion of a tunnel. The
lake is at an elevation of 800 feet
and 12 miles from salt water on

Mining Co., for its mill work at

Fire destroyed the home of
Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Curry of
Ketchikan recently causing them
the loss of all their effects. Their
little daughter who was in the
house when the fire broke out.
had a narrow escape as the par
ents were visiting a sick neigh
bor at the time.
The services of a professional
diver has been engaged to recov
er the body of Adrian van Es
prian, who was drowned at
Ketchikan recently. If the diver
is unsucesssful in the search dy
namite will be used in the hope
that it will cause the body to
come to the surface.
Quartz miners in the Chandler
district are reported as repre
senting their properties by per
forming the annual assessment
work. Options have been taken
on a number of properties by a
mining engineer representing
outside capitalist^ and this has
caused others to regard their
properties as having a greater
value.
A number of men at Seldova
were grievously disappointed re
cently. They found a 15 gallon
keg of beer marked “Spring Hill
Brewing Company, Victoria, B.
C ” The barrel was covered with
seaweed and barnacles and the
boys were prepared to have a
good time from the well aged li*
quor but were disappointed be
cause the salt had spoiled the
beer.
As practically everyone has
moved from Tofty to Wood
chopper in the Hot Springs dis
trict application has been made
to the postal department to move
the postoffice too. If the depart
ment gives its consent the office
will not be named Woodchopper
as there is an office of that name
in Alaska now.
Another big salmon cannery is
)being built almost within the
corporate limits of Ketchikan. A
new wharf is now being built at
Charcoal point, and as soon as
the wharf is completed the erec
tion of the cannery buildings will
begin. It is planned to have the
cannery ready for the first heavy
run of salmon.
Mandel and Pauley, of An
chorage, are now driving a tun
nel on what they believe is a
good tin lode in the region of
Eklutna river. It is said that
they first found placer tin, which
indicated the presence of the lode
and other people say the indica
tions are very good for the es
tablishment of the tin mining
industry in that section—Chiti~
na Leader.
Henry Roden, former senator
from the Fourth division, but
who is now living in Juneau, is
authority for the statement that
water fowl suffered during the
recent cold weather. The ducks
.got caught by ice forming on
the surface of the water and
they were unable to extricate
themselves. Clams in the sand
between the high and low tide
marks were frozen solid while
the tide was low.
Henry Roden, who was a mem
ber of the upper house in the
first Territorial legislature, is
visiting in Seward and has an
nounced that a syndicate of capi
talists is ready to establish pulp
mills there as soon as permission
can be secured to cut the timber.
He says that under the present
conditions it is almost impossi
ble to secure permits and de
clared that the bill now before
congress to provide for a Devel
opment board to handle such
affairs in the teritory should be
come a law.—Valdez Miner
That the Juneau waterfront
will be one of the busiest places
in Alaska during the coming
summer months is indicated by
the fact that seven steamship
companies will make Juneau a
port of call for their vessels. The
companies are the Alaska Steam
ship company, The Admiral line.
C. P. R., Grand Trunk, Hum
boldt, Border line, and Pacific
Coast Steamship company. In
the various fleets there are nine
teen passenger boats and twelve
freighters so Juneau can count
on having a boat every day of
the month.
JOHN JOHNSON
IN THE MOVIES
John Johnson, known from one
end of Alaska to the other as
“the iron man of Dawson,” a
noted Klondike character am!
champion dog musher of the
world, with his team of Siberian
jfog^^s^one^of the many interest
ing characters of the snow coun
try presented in “The Death
Lock," a Mutual picture, says the
Hoxton Record.
With but one or two excep
tions Johnson, a giant of a man,
standing a little over six feet in
height, weighing close to 200
pounds, and built on the lines of
a dreadnaught, has never visited'
the “white man's world,’’ as rep’
resented outside the confines oi
Alaska. This burly son of Ala
ka and his famous bunch of “hus
kies" are the idols of all Alas
kans. For three years in succes
sion Johnson and his huskies
have won the Alaska Sweep
..takes, the greatest event of that
section of the country, outside of
the arrival of the first steamer a:
Dawson with the breaking up of
the ice pack.
Johnson, when approached and
asked to participate in the film
ing of "The Death Lock,” the
scenes of which were taken along
the Yukon and in the neighbor
hood of Dawson Cits, at first dc
dined, but a little persuasion and
some legal tender finals’ svon him
over. One of the most thrilling
incidents of “The Death Lock"
is tile finish of a rr 1 bet' -n
team driven by the champion
nt'4-her and another is Watt- !
dog driver. “Snow" Martin.
DEEiP WORKINGS
AT TEA DWELL
After working continuous!)
lor the past six months, the
crews employed in sinking the
new Ready liullion shatt brok<
ground between the 1,000 and
1,700 lout levels yesterday alter
noon, making a hole 2,450 feet
deep on a 70 degrees inenne from
the perpendicular. sa > ihe ju
neau Empire oi February O The
shaft will be completed, if ail
goes well, within Ihe next two
months. It is to be a four com
partment shaft, and is to be fit
ted with a large electric hoist
operating four ton skip-, for the
handling oi ore. There will also
he an electric hoist for the cages
for hoisting the men. The shaft
is timbered with the exception
of a few hundred feet, which
will be timbered as the shaft is
enlarged. The contract for the
headframe, which will be of steel,
has been let, and will he about
100 feet above the collar of the
shaft. It is expected that the
entire plant will he ready for ser
vice by August 1 The decision
to sink the new shaft at the Bul
lion was due to the fact that the
f.nit of the old shaft was drawing
twH) from the ore body at a rap
id rate and the shaft was deepen
ed and the cost of hauling the
or? to the bottom was increasing
