OFFICER’S WIFE SAYS
I GIRLS SCARCE IN NORTH.
CHICAGO, Nov. 15.—There is no
such matrimonial market in the
country as there is today in Alaska.
Publicity is being given the situa
tion by an army officer’s wife from
Fort Liscum, Valdez, who, writing in
a western paper, decries the fact that
so many of the best men of the coun
try are living in bachelorhood in the
territory.
“I never saw such an active matri
monial market,” writes the author,
I "as there is in Alaska. And I can
| not say too positively that the Alaska
men are the equal of any in the
world. They have to be fine men
physically and morally to overcome
the hardships of the new and wild
country.”
The new railroad camp built by
the government at Anchorage is al
most wholly composed of young men.
True, they are of all nationalities, but
they are many sturdy Alaskans, who
will decide to make this their fu
ture home. The busy mining city
and capital of the territory, Juneau,
! possesses more single men than
young women. Wrangell, Skagway,
Seward and Valdez are other coast
towns whose population consists very
largely of the boarding class of
young fellows:
TAKE MILL SITE
NEAR WRANGELL TOWN.
The Groundhog Basin Mining Com
pany yesterday had surveyed a 26
acre tract of land at the mou^h of
Mill Creek and will lease same from
the government as a mill site. The
cruiser Tahn with Forest Supervisor
Weigle on board came in Monday,
and taking W. D. Grant along left
for the creek and made the survey.
ThiB is one of the most encouraging
moves that has yet been made to
wards the permanent future of that
mining camp.—Wrangell Sentinel.
Next Star Attractions.
The next Star attractions a1: The
Liberty will be:
"The Pit,” with V.’dt-M. Laliaye
in the lead.
Mrs. Wiggs of the Cahl>age Patch.
Weber and Fluids, in “Old D itch.”
All five reels.
C. B. Wiltsey, the mining man,
who has been developing a property
in Eagluk bay, will be a passenger
on the Admiral Evans for the state:
He will spend the winter with his
family in Portland, returning to Val
dez at an early date next spring. De
velopment work will be continued on
the claims during the winter.
Martin Erickson, George Merri
field, George Burford and Joe Olson,
whc were members of the Seward pe
tti Jury during the recent term of the
district court, returned to Valdez on
the City of Puebla.
CIRCLE CAMP IS
NOT ON THE WANE.
Many years ago it was thought that
Circle Camp was a dead one. For
many years it has produced on a
small scale but now come reports that
it will do much within the past few
years to swell the output of the in
terior of Alaska. During the season
just closing the output was in the
neighborhood of ^oOO.OOO and in the
opinion of F. C. Irins, who returned
recently from that district, after pat
ting in the summer there it is good
for a long time to come.—Fairbanks
Times.
GASBOAT KINGFISHER
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
John Uolcheck’s gasboat, the King
fisher, was completely destroyed at
the Wrangell dock last week by fire
which caught while he was asleep.
He had started a fire in the stove
and had gone back to bed to have
another nap and when he awoke the
cabin was in flames. He escaped in
his underclothing, everything he pos
sessed being lost.
A. N. Swallow, who has been con
nected with the Alaska Road com
mission staff, will leave on the Ad
miral Evans for the states.
Mike Jordan, who came over the
road from Fairbanks to Chitina, and
who spent a few days in Valdez re
newing old acquaintances, was an
outgoing passenger on the City of
Puebla this morning for the states.
He will visit the exposition and ex
pects to witness the closing ceremo
nies of the fair. He will return to
Fairbanks early in February.
ALASKA GOLD BELT
WORK PROGRESSING.
Juneau: Averaging 450 feet a
month, the work in the Alaska Gold
Belt tunnel has progressed to a depth
of 1850 feet at the present time.
There is a distance of approximately
600 feet more to go before striking
the ledge, which runs northwest and
southeast. The tunnel will strike the
ledge at right angles, and will then
drift in at both directions on the
ledge.
The formation has a dip of about
80 degrees. When all of the tunnel
work Is completed the extreme depth
reached will be 3,800 feet below the
top of the ridge, and it is expected
that the ledge will be hit at a depth
at approximately 2,000 feet.
Manager A. B. Dodd stated today
that the surface work for the year
Is about completed, and that there
ip only a small amount of flume and
litch' work yet to be done before
the heavy snow fall. The beach work
ias already been completed.
The only thing that now remains Is
to see if Mexico hereself will recog
»ize Carranza.—Kansas City Star.
