OLD RED GOES
; AS A PENSIONER
—
Mr. and Mrs. L. N. Lowell, old
I residents of Iditarod, and little
daughter Eileen, left last night for
the Outside via St. Michael, where
i they will in future make their home.
Old Red, that faithful bob-tailed
dog that has for the past three
i years pulled Miss Eileen about
through winter’s snow and sum
tner’s glow—and never “kicked”
about it, either — will be taken
along as a deserving pensioner.
Red’s old wagon will remain in
i Iditarod: some other dog may lug
lit about town for a few seasons,
and thereby earn a pension also—
you can't always sometimes tell.
ADDLTERY CHARGED
Charged with living in a state
of adultery, Ed Uhl, of this city,

liminary hearing was set for

bonds, with J. H. Smith and H.
II. Porter as sureties.
District Attorney J. J. Cross
ley lodged the complaint.
The Prairie Bell, on Thursday night,
brought about 1,000 pounds of mail—
most of it was second-class matter.

Mrs. New Comer: ‘‘Where is the best

John Erickson, the well-known

Iditarod last fall to spend the win

part of Sweden, returned Thursday
night looking all the better for his I

CAPTAIN G. P. SPROUL, FAIRBANKS
ALASKA
During liis visit at Fairbanks
Capt. James V. Martin, the aviator
who gave the exhibitions in that
town during the Fourth of July
| celebration, gave a lecture on aero
! nautics. In his lecture, he told
of the different flights he had made
i and of the different machines in
| which he is interested. He also
I explained the locomotion of the ma
chines and the way the wings and
! planes act while in the air in the
| process of gliding. The lecture
l was illustrated with lantern slides.
It is the intention of the aviator to
attempt the crossing of the Atlantic
ocean in an aeroplane at some time
in the not far distant future. He
naturally will attempt to cross in
the shortest distance possible, being
from St. Johns, Newfoundland, to
Ireland, and he thinks he can make
the distance, some 2.500 miles in
between 24 and 30 hours. The
machine which he will use in the
flight will be a bi plane, it being
constructed on a much larger scale
than any heretofore built. It is ex
peeled that the planes will be 100
feet from tip to tip. Three men as
operators, and fuel for the journey
j is all that will be carried.
A vessel of the U. S. revenue
cutter service is to he commissioned
for the fiist time in the history of the
service as a prison ship The rev
enue cutter "Bear,” is to be made
a penal floating stronghold at Nome,
Alaska, until just before the close
of navigation this winter. The
Bear will then take to Seattle all
prisoners sentenced by the Alaskan
courts, after the last passenger ves
sel lias sailed to escape the ice.
A gold brick value at $3,060 is
the result of the recent mill run ol
the ore from the pruperty of the
Homestake Mining Company of
Wolf creek. The rock was milled
at the Rexall mill on Wolf creek,
the milling having been in charge
of L, A.) Freestone. Twenty-eight
tons were included in the run. mak
ing the average values per ton
moie than $109. The lessees on
the claim, Aaron Kennedy and
George Nightingale, announce
themselves as very well pleased
with the test, as are all of the
owners.
Judge Jennings, of the First divi
s 011, has appointed John B. Mar
shall to succeed Grover C. Winn as
U. S. Commissioner for the Juneau
prineinct.
Frank Kehoe, a blacksmith’s
helper in the employ of the Alaska.
Gastiueau Mining Co., near Juneau,
committed suicide June, 24 by
shooting himself through the head
with a 38 calibre revolver. He was
35 years old, and a native of New
York.
Juneau Igloo No. 6, Pioneers of
Alaska, held a very interesting
meeting recently and several new
members were elected including
Gov. Strong and Judge Jennings.
Quite a settlement has sprung up
at the mouth of Sawmill creek, near
Sitka, since the Sitka Wharf and
Power Co. began construction
work, and the boys have named
their camp ‘‘Strong City,” in honor
of the governor.
The unprecedented activity in
business and mining interests cen
tering in Ktiik has received a new
impetus through the coming of
George Watkiu Evans, the coal
mining expert and engineer, de
tailed by the government to super
vise the mining of Soo tons of coal
in the Matanuska coalfields. Mr
Evans is now superintending the
construction of two light draught

| boats, with which he proposes to!
undertake the navigation of the
Matanuska river. If the experiment
proves successful, the 90 tons of
government supplies will be trans
ported at least half of the distance
to the coalfields on the river. This
will greatly expedite the work, as
well as materially reduce the ex
pense of “packing.” Mr. Evans
estimates that the government will
spend approximately $85,000 in
the work of mining and transport
ing coal from the Matanuska fields
to tidewater—a circumstance that
constitutes a large factor in the im
mediate future prosperity of Knik.
