Sunrise Items.
SrxnisE, August 10.—Beautiful
weather, an abundance of wild l>er
ries nnd game, a large crop of fine
vegetables in the gardens, money
plentiful and good rejiorts coming
in from all directions is the condi
tion of things at Sunrise at the
present time. Sunrise is still de
populated there only ^Hiing enough
men in town to protect the women
and children from the moose nnd
and ln-nr thnt occasionally visit the
suburbs, ns nearly nil are at the
mines.
The Crow Creek mine is now
working 40 men, and it is reported
that they are now taking out an
average of #12 a day to the shovel.
This is a fine property and is be
coming better every day as they
follow up the creek. Next year
this property will l»e worked with
a large hydraulic plant, which has
been secured this summer nnd is
now being moved to the proiH-rty.
At the (.1 ml wood mine, just above'
the Crow Creek properly, they are
using a hydraulic outfit, but are
not taking out any money ns yet
as they are moving a great glacier !
deposit, after they get tins they ex
pect to strike it rich.
The Hig horn mining company,
of which Mr. A. R. Ommnnnev is
the principal owner, are building'
a dam across Six Mile river, which
when completed will let them work
the old river bed, and undoubted
they will take out a large amount
of gold.
At the I’olly mine considerable
dead work is being done, but before
the season is over they will have a i
good clean up. This is one of the:
best mines in this section, and has
produced over 1200,000 to its
owner.
Mr. S. \\. \\ eihle has a force of
men rt work on his properties, and
and from present indications he
will have his largest cleanup. Con
siderable gold is in sight, hut of
course it will not be known what
the property tfill produce until the
season is over. Mr. Wible is one |
of the most extensive operators in |
this part of Alaska, and has ex-j
pended over $150,000 in develop
ment on liis Sunrise property.
Mr. Hugh Anderson, one of our
old and respected citizens met with
a severe accident a few days ago.
While working at the Girdwood
mine one of the guy ropes of the
derrick gave way and it fell over
and came near killing several men.
All escaped except Anderson whose
foot was badly crushed. He was:
taken to Wood island, where Ernst
Moses, the N. A. C\ agent, gave
him the use of his house, and Dr.
Mills is attending him.
Marshal Sexton's family arrived
from Seattle the last of July and
the marshal is happy. They are
comfortably settled and are quite
an addition to Sunrise.
Mr. S. W. Weihle has been quite
sick hut was able to attend to busi
ness last week.
Mr. ami Mrs. Paul Buckley have
been in town for the past ten days.
Mrs. Buckley is a trained nurse
and lias rendered appreciated ser
vices to Mr. Anderson.
Judge Hildreth ami Marshal Sex
ton returned a few days ago from
a trip down the Inlet. While alt
sent they visited Ho]**, Point Pos
session, Kenai, Scldovia, Oil Bay,;
Incrskin Bay, llliamna village and
other points. They will leave'
again in a few days for a trip up I
the Hhushitna and Knik rivers.
The Alaska Central railroad has
just recorded in the U. S. commis
sioner’s office in this place a mort
gage securing the first issue of 30
year bonds. The mortgage is a
lengthy document, containing over
120,000 words. It is given to the
Central Trust company of Illinois,
and calls for the issuance of bonds
amounting to $3o,000 per mile for
413 miles of road.
Mr. J. W. Douglas, our host of
the Sunrise hotel, 1ms demonstrated
that flowers grow as profusely and
are as beautiful as those grown in
his old home in Fresno, Cal.
•Sunrise came near being wiped
out of existence a lew days ago. A
fierce forest fire raged in the hills
adjoining the town and several
cabins were burned. The wind
