Mr. Humphrey White died here'
this week of a wits.ing diseas:. He
had is-cii s.ek for some time in the I
states and came to Alaska to regain
his h< alth. He leaves two brothers,
J.nwrenee and Thomas, the latter
an old-timer here, who have the
sympathy of the mi in* community.
The Aherne hv oil well which
wa* started some time ago is well
umh r way and i* making ixeell«nt
progress.
The Alaska Petroleum and Coni
Syndicate have abandoned the Well
they were drilling having sunk to
the depth of 1500 feet. At that
depth oil was not struck. The
drilling plant will he moved a mile
to the west of the old site.
Kx-tlov. Shakelv is in town for
n few days, looking up the country
for some Pittsburg people. He
says tliat from what he has seen
of it he thinks it will Ik? a good
country, and is undoubtedly rich
in oil and coal deposits.
0. L. Willoughby has arrived
back in town for a short stay. He
is looking after his oil property.
Clias. Davis, son of Clarko Davis,
vice-president and manager of the
Alaska Petroleum ami Coal Syndi
cate came up on the Jiertlia for a
few weeks.
Tin* present outlook for the peo
ple who have either lands or stocks
in oil or coal lands here is very
Wight. It seems to W no trouble
to those who aie willing to get rid
of their stock or land. The mere
mention of this district in the vari
ous western states has a tendency
to a quick sale and at good prices.
Jack Cummings, of the firm of
Thompson A Cummings, arrived
hack from a short trip to the states.
A new saloon will soon he in
operation here under the firm name
of LeClare A Smith. Mr. Smith
has gone to purchase the stock.
A building is now in course of erec
tion for them.
Architect Kraus is now erecting
a .'{2x20 building for the commis
sioner on his lots here. It will be
a two-story affair and divided into
rooms large enough for court and
|»rivt*tc rootnt*.
Jim Higgi ns Inis gone to Seattle
to buy stock and fixtures fora first
class saloon and lodging house. He
expects to come back on the next
bunt.
J. T. Moore has moved into one
of the Temple buildings at Kayak,
ami will no longer run a restaurant
He will hereafter keep a full line
of general merchandise and outfit
ting supplies. Those who come
here to liunt for oil or gold will find
that they can get anything neces-1
stry at reasonable prices.
The steamer Albion arrived in
port some days ago with the repre
sentatives of the Southern Pacific
railroad and MacKenzie A Mann.
They brought with them n full rig
ged drilling plant, and will test the
ground wherever they think best.
M uch anxiety is felt by the people
hero ns to their movements. Ac
companying them were Miss John
ston, daughter of the president of
the A. D. Co., and Mrs. Treadwell.
People coming to this town and
wishing to stay a dav or two will
find the l<e*t of everything at Bar
rett’s boarding house.
It la Different.
Tho later expiations that have
come from Washington in connec
tion with Alaska anil the world's
fair puts tho whole matter in a dif
ferent light from thut which fol
lowed tho announcement that a
man from Kansas had been up
pointed to the commissionerahip.
If Mr. Kyan will do as he promised
to do, and name an Alaskan execu
tive commissioner to have personal
charge of the whole thing, then
there will not be so much in con
nection with tho matter of which
I
an Alaskan can find fault.—Alas
kan.
