PLANS OF ROAD COMMISSION
ANNOUNCED BY RICHARDSON
(Ylonel YY. P. Richardson of the Alaska j
r ad coininission has given out a statement ;
which i> in pert as follows:
“Tin- work of the road commission for
the season of 191o will be carried along the
same general lines as the previous four or
live years. The limited funds in the hands
of the board f >r road work will not permit
the undertaking of extensive new projects.
Some new work will be done where the need
seems most pressing, but most of the ex
penditure will be for repair and maintenance
of existing roads. Work will be carried on
along the whole extent of the wagon road
from Fairbanks to the coast, and consider ,
able improvement is expected to result.
‘ A change in the superintendence ol the |
work in the Yukon district will be made by
the transfer of John Zug to other and more
comprehensive duties as assistant to the en
gineer officer of the board, and tlm assign
ment of R. J. Sommers to Fairbanks in his
stead.
" I he congress appropriated at it- last ses
sinn $165,000 for road and trail work in the
territory under the caption of ’Military and
Post Roads, etc.,' this being an increase by
senate amendment of $40,000 over the item
as originally passed by the house. Receipts
from the Alaska fund became available from
time to time during the year in varying
sums, and probably will amount to $60,000
or more during the summer or principal
working season. During the last fiscal year
this fund amounted to $166,316 for the i
twelve months.’’
The work laid out by the board and out
lined by Colonel Richardson for the present
season, and for which tentative allotments
have been made to the extent of the funds
now available, et: ; race projects in various
parts of the terrir ry. Iilitarod is men
tioned in this connection, but no details of
work are given. All aments in the A ukon

Yukon, Fairbanks-Richardson wagon road,
trail to Tolovana, etc., amount to ap
proximately $65,000, exclusive of the Fair
banks bridge. Construction of the latter
may be delayed on account of delay in ship
ping material. The statement continues:
“Up to date the board has constructed
and maintained in the territory 872 miles of
wagon road, 5S2 miles of winter sled road,
and has made expenditures in varying
amounts, depending upon conditions, on
2,200 miles of trail. While the commission
is not always able to allot funds for projects
which are recognized as meritorious, it is
nevertheless glad to receive reports made ir.
good faith and petitions as to the needs of
different sections for road improvements,
and such reports and petitions will always
receive consideration, and favorable action
if the projects have merit, as soon as funds
become available.

“I have made special effort the past two
or three years to get increased appropria
tions for road work in the territory, and to
this end, submitted a special supplementary
estimate of £750,000 to the secretary of war
in the fall of 1013. The following is quoted
in this connection from the annual report of
the board for 1014 :
‘Additional new projects, alt more or
less meritorious, are being presented to the
board every year, with petitions for aid,
which it is impossible for the board to re
spond to, except to a very limited degree.'
‘‘This situation was set forth at some
length in last year's report, and attention
invited to a number of memorials front the
Alaska legislature upon the same subject.
There was also submitted, on November 25,
1913, a special report embracing a mem
orandum prepared by the engineer officer
id the board, outlining a plan of work to
be carried forward through a period of years,
together with an additional estimate of
§750,000 for the first year’s work. This re
port and estimate, it is understood, was re
ferred to the honorable the secretary of the
interior for consideration in connection with
other matters under his charge pertaining
to Alaska's development. It is earnestly
hoped that the plan may receive some favor
able action before the opening of next sea
son's work.”
CONDITIONS ON UPPER YUKON:
The Fairbanks Citizen of June 21 stated
that a telegram from Dawson gave the in
formation that the mail accumulated at that
placed had all been shipped, and that owing
to the low water on Lake Lebarge, but a
limited amount of freight was coming down
the Yukon. The telegram was in response
to an inquiry wired to the Dawson News.
Some of the contents of the telegram
were as follows:
“General Agent Edwards says there has
been no discrimination against Fairbanks in
the matter of sending mail or freight, and
that every pound is being sent forward as
soon as received and the boats sail. The
Yukon will make a quick trip, going without
a barge, and will carry about 100 tons of
freight.
“Boats arriving here from up the river
are bringing only half loads to Dawson, ow
ing to the shoals that are at the head of the
lake. Dawi(n has received vrry little
freight, aside from perishables. The market
here is short on several articles, including
gasoline, of which there is none excepting
that which is contracted for delivery. It is
not expected that any more gasoline will be
received here until a lower river steamer ar
rives, as there is none on the coast at any
point up as far as Skagway, and the coast
boats are not carrying any more unless they
are chartered for carrying explosives.
“The steamer Schwatka came to Dawson
from Whitehorse without a pound of freight.
Tlie water was so low that it took the
Schwatka two days to get over the Lebarge
shoals, according to Mr. Edwards. ’

Steamer Mariposa Robbed
The steamship Mariposa was robbed on
her trip to Seattle which ended on May 2">.
The registered mail sacks on the steamship
were rifled somewhere on her voyage from
Juneau. Most of the money taken was cur
rency in envelopes from coast towns.
“Floating Court”
The “floating court” will leave \ aklez
July 10 for points to the westward, ac
cording to an order issued recently by Judge
Brown of the federal court. Much of the
summer will be spent in trying cases at
various coast places. For the first time the
court will hold a session this year at An
chorage, which has come into existence since
the government railroad plans were made.
Municipal Rumpus at Valdez
The city council of Valdez has abolished
the office of city attorney, owing, the mem
bers declare, to the necessity of economy in
the matter of city expenses this year. But
Charles Ganty, who has been serving as city
attorney, declares that the action of the
council is a matter of spite. Mr. Ganty has
commenced suit against the city council for
his salary for a year, which, he says, he is
entitled to as a result of his contract with
the city. In regard to the abolishment of
his office, Mr. Ganty declares that the coun
cil recently asked him for an interpretation
of a law. and when he refused to put a
wrong construction on it he aroused the
antagonism of the members of the council.
This, he says, is why his office has been
abolished and he is removed in a roundabout
manner.
Missionary for Koyukuk
Miss L. F. Ergenzinger, the Baptist mis
sionary who spent several days in Skagway
recently before leaving for the Interior,
wrote back to Skagway friends that she had
passed through Yukon territory without hin
drance, and that the Canadian immigration
inspectors had shown her every courtesy
while she was within their jurisdiction. The
present trip of Miss Ergenzinger is her first
vacation in twenty-two years, the major
part of that time having been spent in slum
work in New York. After spending two
months in Betties and Nolan, she will go to
St. Michael, where she will enter the service
of the government as a missionary teacher
to the natives.
Steamer For Cook Inlet
A stern-wheel steamer passing through
the Narrows recently attracted c: nsiderable
attention at Petersburg, according to the
Report. It was the Tyconda, and she was en
route from Wrangell to Cook inlet. The
little steamer was brought up from Puget
soum 1 atx )ut a month ago to run on the
Stikine river. A trial trip proved her power
insufficient to make it through rapid places
of the stream. The owners received an
offer of a good price for the vessel if
brought to the westward, and it was de
cided to hazard the trip.
Record Passenger Bookings
Nearly 6,500 persons bought tickets for
various ports of Alaska during the two
months of April and May. This is the largest
number ever moved North during a similar
period, and the rush continues uninterrupt
edly. While some of these passengers rep
resented itinerant job seekers, the majority
was made up of prospectors, investors, busi
ness men, cannery officials and others whose
presence in the North is, or might be in the
future, of benefit to the territory. With the
heavy tourist bookings this summer and the
large number already in the territory who
will have to return in the autumn, the
steamship passenger traffic at Seattle will
continue to be unusual until Thanksgiving.

A Real Old-Timer
There lives at Seldovia, according to the
Valdez Commoner, one of Alaska's most
distinguished citizens. His name is John
Ballin. He is of Scotch descent. On the
24th day of June he was 100 years old.
He was born on Prince Edward Island, and
lived at Bath. Me., until his 21st birthday.
He comes from old New Jersey stock. Most
of his life he has spent on the sea as a ship
carpenter and sailor. He has made nineteen
trips around Cape Horn. He came to Alaska
about 1S80, according to the best of his
recollection. He rowed a dory from what
is now known as Juneau. He helped to
build the first mill at Treadwell, and lived
in Southeastern Alaska for many years. He
was in the Circle City stampede, and worked
for some time on Mastodon creek. He was
the discoverer of gold at Sunrise, and mined
there during the boom. Later he went to
Nome and was there through that boom.
The first pan of gold he washed on the
beach netted him $2.25. Mr. Ballin is hale
and hearty, cooks for himself, cuts his own
wood and has a fine garden. During the
summer he fishes and prospects. He is go
ing to Anchorage to help build the govern
ment railroad, and says he expects to be
the first “King Snipe” engaged on the road.
Pioneer Juneau Merchant Dead
Charles W. Young, founder of Juneau’s
oldest hardware store, and one of the earli
est pioneers of Juneau, having arrived there
'in the summer of 1885, died on June 12 at
Rochester, Minn., in the hospital of the
kMayo brothers, where just a month ago he
thad been operated on. Mr. Young wrote
I to E. W. Pettit just after he had been oper
ated on and said he felt fine, but did not
.indicate what his complaint was. He usu
ally enjoyed good health.
Record Gastineau Payroll
The biggest pay-day in the history of the
Alaska Gastineau Mining Company was June
10, according to a story in the Juneau Em
pire. More than S130,000 was distributed
by the cashiers to the 950 men employed.
The checks went to every man employed by
the company, and were sent to the five
camps. The next largest pay roll was a year
ago, when S125.000 was paid out for the
month’s work. From estimates of officials
of the company, it is believed the amount
paid out will steadily increase during the
summer, as heavy construction work in all
departments is under way, especially at An
nex and Carlson creeks, where power units
are being established. The doubling of ca
pacity of the reduction mills at Thane also
will swell the grand total paid in the Sheep
Creek division during the next three or four
months.

CITIZENSHIP
APPLICATIONS,
Tuesday evening last, at 7:30, was the
time set by Judge Bunnell for the hearing
of naturalization petitions, and it is note
worthy that of the five applications heard,
not one was granted at that particular time
on account of lack of proof of five years’
continuous residence in the United States
immediately prior to the filing of the peti
tions. In two instances the petitions were
declared to be irregular because of the fact
that an attempt was made to change the
names of the applicants by means of the
naturalization proceedings.
The applicants who presented themselves
before Judge Bunnell, with their witnesses,
were as follows: Charles Boyd, Peter Dahl,
Chris Teltans, John H. Jensen and Mahmoud
Khan.
The first case called was that of Mahmoud
Khan, a native of Hindustan. He was un
able to prove continuous residence for five
years, as part of that period had been spent
outside of Alaska, and no depositions or
evidence could be adduced covering that
period. His papers were also irregular be
cause of the fact that an attempt had been
made to change the name of the applicant,
the original application being made out in
his native name and the final papers in the
Anglicized form. Judge Bunnell and Dis
trict Attorney Roth both stated they were
sorry that the application must be denied
and advised Khan as to how to proceed fur
ther in the matter.
Peter Dahl was the next applicant exam
ined. C. A. Duffy and Chris Anthonieson
were his witnesses, but they could not swear
to the exact whereabouts for a period of
eighteen months spent Outside by Mr. Dahl
The hearing was ordered continued.
In the matter of the application of John
H. Jensen, who also had spent a period on
the Outside, and covering which no proof
was offered, dismissal was ordered. The
same objection was made in Mr. Jensen’s
case as that in the Khan case an attempt
had been made to change the name of the
applicant.
The application of Charles Boyd also was
continued because of the fact that continu
ous residence for live years could not be
proved.
In continuing the cases Judge Bunnell
said it was “too bad” that such action must
be taken, but it was not discretionary with
him. He advised the applicants not to be
come discouraged, but to perfect their proof
and again come before him at any time
when court was in session and he would
arrange to hear the applications.
Persistence Rewarded
On Wednesday evening Peter Dahl again
appeared before the court with two more
witnesses- Jerry Ford and E. II. King who
swore to being in communication with Dahl
while he was Outside.
The applicant was questioned closely by
District Attorney Roth and Judge Bunnell,
and the answers given relative to American
government and institutions showed that the
applicant had schooled himself pretty thor
oughly in these matters. He demonstrated
)■ familiarity with legislative procedure, both
national and territorial, and answered one
question which many of the persons in the
Court room would have failed to answer.
The question was, “Who are territorial sen
ators and representatives of the Fourth divi
sion of Alaska?” The witness answered cor
rectly. He also stated in answer to ques
tions that he was not an anarchist nor a
believer in that cult, and that he die! not
•favor polygamy.
The application was granted and Peter
took the oath of allegiance.
“SPANISH PRISONER” FAKE
MAKES APPEARANCE HERE
Ira I’. Wood has been singled out for dis
tinction as being the one man in the Iditu
rod district to whom should be intrusted the
task of rescuing a beautiful young maiden
and recovering and sharing her fortune. In
cidentally he is to be instrumental in de
livering from a Spanish prison a gentleman
whose zeal for his country's welfare led him
to participate in an abortive revolutionary
movement, which drew him into the
clutches of the Spanish officials.
To newspaper readers the story is an old
one. It has harrowed the feelings and
aroused the chivalry and cupidity of Ameri
cans for generations past. The fraud has
been exposed ami ridiculed times out of
number.
Mr. Wood has received a letter bearing a
Spanish date mark and stamp, reciting
a vague claim to relationship, and appealing
to Mr. Wood to assist the writer, who is con
fined in a Spanish prison, to rescue a for
tune of many thousands of pounds which is
locked up in the Hank of England. Upon
the receipt of a sum of money the “Spanish
prisoner” will give him the details of how
this is to be accomplished.
The letter is written in a beautiful script,
.and has a suggestion of the writer’s being a
man of some education, with just enough
mutilation of the “king’s English” to lend
color to the plausibility of the story. It is>,
almost a fac simile of scores of such letters
which have been written to Americans in the
past quarter of a century or more, with
an added reference to present European con
ditions to bring it up to date. It is notable,
however, that the age of the daughter is
still 16 years.
This fake is said to have- elicited many
thousafids of dollars from sympathetic in
dividuals. Mr. Wood has not. yet. complied
with the request.

INTERESTINGS NEWS ITEMS
OF RUBY AND KOYUKUK
(Ruby Record-Citizen, June 19)
Several well-known Koyukukers were
aboard the Delta, which arrived at Ruby
early last Sunday morning. They came
down the Koyukuk on the Reliance and con
nected with the Delta at Nulato. Of those
coming down on the Reliance, Knute Elling
ton and Elsie Morris continued to the Out
side by the lower route.
Jim Hastings, late Democratic nominee
for representative at last year’s election,
is one of the up-bound passengers for the
Outside. He had a prosperous winter sea
-oii. He and his associates, Alex Gregan
and Jim Kelly, took upward of $28,000 out
of Nolan creek since going into the Koyu- |
kuk last fall.
Cap. Johnston, first deputy marshal in
the Koyukuk, who later got into the good
money on the noted No. 4 Nolan claim, was
eLso a passenger by the upper route.
Charley Goodwin, an old-timer who sus- ]
tained a broken arm last winter, is going ■
out to have it reset. He expects to return |
when the arm is all right.
Word was brought from the Koyukuk j
that Frank Smith, Jack Nelson and Knute j
Ellington took $125,000 from No. 4a Flam- i
mend for their winter’s work. Of this sum, I
$106,000 came out of sixty feet of the claim. |
Captain J. J. Donovan, who returned j
from his celebrated Bolivian stampede and i
went into the Koyukuk last fall, is working j
on Nolan at the mouth cf Gold Bottom.
Charley Murray, associated with Slim ;
Scofield and John Bowman on very profit- j
able ground on Hammond last summer, is
now on a tributary of Wild creek. Scofield
is also in that vicinity.
Before the Reliance left Betties Frank
Whalley had arrived with a team of horses,
with which he recently left White Eye, on
the Yukon, to go across country.
Strike on the Hodzana
(Record-Citizen, June 26)
Ed Leepin. who left Ruby last summer, '
returned last Sunday, bringing news of the I
strike on the Hodzana river, mention of
which has been heretofore made. The strike
is about 130 miles from the Yukon, on the ;
Pitka fork. Pitka fork is a left-limit branch ;
coming in about 100 miles from the mouth ,
of the Hodzana. Trout creek, where the
-trike was made, is about thirty miles from .
the confluence of the two branches, and is
a tributary of the branch of Pitka fork (
called Slate creek. j
Mr. Leepin had wintered on the Hod- I
Sana watershed near the Dali river divide, |
and did not hear of the strike until late in j
the spring. He was coming out of the ;
Hodzana. and below the Pitka fork met;
men bound to the strike. He turned back j
and proceeded to Trout creek.
Only one hole had been bedrocked on the l
creek discovery, at the mouth. Glaciers,
.'-!acting toward the head and gradually ex- i
tending down the creek, had made work im
possible. On discovery about sixty feet of j
bedrock was uncovered and three ounces
had been secured by panning. It was esti
mated that the little dump contained S50
more. The gold is coarse, one half-ounce
piece being found. I
The discovery was made by lom oiarw ,
of Dawson early in February. He staked
a good deal of ground on powers of attorney
from Dawson parties, and kept the dis
covery secret.
Jack Welsh of Rampart, and Argo Bill,
wintering on Hardtack creek, a tributary of |
Slate creek, ten miles below Trout, were j
incensed because Stark did not let them in ;
oil the find, and Mr. Leepin learned that j
some of the Stark ground had been jumped. [
the claim being advanced that neither the j
powers of attorney nor the claims had been ;
recorded, as the law' requires. Rampart, !
some 300 miles distant, is the recording of
fice. Welsh and Argo Bill, it is said, favored
Stark on several occasions during the winter..
In coming out Mr. Leepin met several
going up to the strike, aud a good many
were building boats on the Yukon in prep
aration for the trip. A good many are ex
pected to in from the Koyukuk. Mr. Leepin
himself intends to return to the dtstrict
soon.
Favorable prospects have been mund in
the region for many years. About fifteen
years ago a party of Indians headed by
Pitka Minook of Rampart made sluice boxes
and shoveled in bar gravel, but failed to
make it pay. That branch of the river was
named after the Indian.
Tolovana Extremely Elackward
After an absence of a month, Walter
Hunter returned from the Tolovana on the
Tana yesterday (June 25). While not es
saying to prophesy the district’s future, he
frankly admits its present status was a
disappointment. He expected to see a mm- |
ing camp in the making at Discovery, but
found but one building up and none under
way. He also expected to see mining in
progress on a considerable scale, but that
was also absent. Considering the time that
has elapsed since the strike was first her
alded, and the noise that has been made
about it, Mr. Hunter says the district is
extremely backward, and that is as far as
he desires to be quoted on the subject.
Ptecent excavations of an ancient Roman
villa near Liege disclosed fragments of coal
leading to the belief that the fuel was
mined in Belgium as far back as the be- j
ginning of the Christian era.
