MASONS HOLD
ANNUAL ELECTION
'■ <i(. I:' ». » (S' i-:j'i „■j
A. E. Grigsby Elected Worshipful
Master—Will Install On St.
John’s Day.
Valdez Lodge No. 168, Free and Ac
cepted Masons held their annual el
ection of officers for the ensuing year,
last night and the following members
were selected to fill the offices:
iWorshipful Master, A. E. Grigsby;
Senior Warden, G. H. Merrifleld; Ju
nior Warden, J. H. Plant; Treasurer,
Arthur Lang; Secretary, C. C. Rey
nolds.
All the other offices are filled by
appointment of the worshipful mas
ter1, (who will make his selections
prior’to St. John’s Day, December 27,
on which date the incoming officers
will be duly installed. '
It had been hoped to have a joint
installation writh the officers of the
Eastern Star, but a count of the mem
bers of both orders showed that it
would be impossible to accommodate
all' those who would wish to attend
in the lodge room, and for this rea
son it was deemed expedient to fore
go this feature. The installation will
be private, that is, none hut master
masons will be present.
The. lodge has had a very prosper
ous year and the prospect is good
that before another year rolls by the
masons will build a home of their
own,large enough to accommodate not
only the lodge but the Eastern Star,
Royal Arch Masons and the Knights
Templar. Fairbanks has a chapter of
the Royal Arch and a^so a command
er y of the Knights Templar, and it
is very probable that both these or
ders of masonry will be represented
in Valdez before long.
ROADHOUSE MAN
Buck Hoyt feljs of, Heavy TraVel to
Chisana via Gokona Roadhouse
—Railroad Open.
Buck Hoyt, the Gokona roadhouse
proprietor, arrived in Valdez last
nighi front EUamar on a small gaso
line boat., which he had hire' to
bring him from the copper burg,
where he was taken on the steam
freighter Cordova, which called at
Cordova and Ellamar, but was not
bound to Valdez, as they had no
freight on the ship for this town. The
Seward, with freight and horses for
Valdez, wras unreported by the Cor
dova.
Mr. Hoyt states that many inter
ior miners dre daily passing his place
of ^business en route to the Chisana
dig^ihgs, all going via the upper Cop
per river route, as they consider that
the, best and safest way to go.
A number are also reported coming
fropi Fairbanks to go to the Nelchina,
as reports of the camp have reached
there, and many miners and pros
pectors are anxious to prospect the
camp this winter.
The child is father of the man. At
any rate, the average kid thinks he
knows twice as much as his daddy.
Shoup's Glacier and Divide.
The friends of Fred Greeno and
his ompanion, a man named Max,
are becoming anxious on account of
their failure to return or send back
word as to "heir whereabouts. The
men left Valdez on October 6 with
a dog team belonging to Dan Wiltsy.
They promised to be back by Novem
ber 6 and are notv nearly a month
overdue.
Greeno and hist companion started
over Shoup’s Glacier to try a terri
tory which they could see from the
top of the mountains near the Gold
King mine. They believed that they
wpuld be successful in finding good
trapping grounds, as few persons have
ever crossed the glacier and divide.
The district *s in the southern end of
tiie range in which the Nelchina dig
gings are located and the miners in
tended to spend the winter hunting
arid prospecting.
They took along an outfit sufficient
to last them for some time, but the
fact that at least one of them has not
returned with the dog team is con
sidered grounds for alarm. The men
are old-timers in the country and are
well able to care for themselves un
der any ordinary circumstances. It
is possible that they were not satis
fied with the looks of the district as
a game country and are making their
way northward toward the Nelcliina.
When the men left on the trip
travel o nthe glaciers was at the most
dangerous period. The crevasses were
filled with the loose snow which would
not bear the weight of a team. Dur
ing the summer a dog team dropped
into a crevasse on Shoups glacier and
could not be recovered by the driv
ers. The dogs were running loose
but were hitched together, and when
one broke through the thin crust of
snow covering the crevasse it dragged
the others to their deaths also.
Those who know Greeno best are
confident that he will turn up all right
with an explanation as to the delay.
MINERS LEAVE FOR
KNIGHTS ISLAND
i
Eli and Louie Larson Start for Knights
Island to Do Development Work
on Copper Claims.
Eli and Louie Larson left a few
days ago for their copper prop rty on
Knights island, upon which they will
do the annual assessment work and
will also spend considerable time de
veloping the property. Both men are
old-time prospectors in this section
and have every confidence that they
will make a big producer of the claims
they located several years ago and up
on which they have done consider
able work to demonstrate the value
of the leads.
The people who fish for compli
ments usually fish in shallow water.
