Wireless Items
From Nome Camp
With her victim lying at the point of death, a native is in jail at
Nome facing a possible charge of minder. During a drunken debauch
the woman, who has a local reputation as a tough, stabbed a male con
testant in the hootch-drinking contest, and he is expected to succumb.
The affray took place at a fish camp near Fort Davis.
The schooner Seddon, Captain Healey, has left for Good News
bay with a large outfit. Frank Waskey is on board and will spend the
season there prospecting with drills. Representatives of a local syndi
cate were also on the vessel, and a thorough examination of the dis
trict will result.
The Russian government has erected a wireless station on Anadir
bay, which is on the Asiatic side of Bering sea, across from Nome.
This completes the wireless chain around the world, as the Vladivos
tock station connects with Anadir.
Many people are leaving the Seward peninsula. The steamer
Senator, which sailed on the 5th, carried a full passenger list, all of
the first class accommodations being sold. Many from up river art
going out.
Inspectors Smith and Cookson of the postal department have been
visiting Nome, and as a result salaries have been raised to their former
level.
Julius Leipmen, proprietor of the Horseshoe saloon, Nome, drop
ped dead in a room over his bar last Friday. Apoplexy was cause.
Reindeer Superintendent
May Have Died in the Arctic
Candle, July iS—Word has reached here that some weeks ago
three dogs were picked up on an ice-floe off Wainwright, near Point
Barrow, by Fay R. Shaver, government reindeer superintendent at that
place. That the dogs were the property of some white man is proven
by the make of harness and by the method of hitching tandem, in
stead of Eskimo fashion.
Mr. Shaver is very uneasy concerning the fate of the owner of the
dogs, and the tear is expressed that they might belong to District
Superintendent of Reindeer C. W. Hawkesworth, the only white man
likely to travel along that section of the Arctic coast in winter. As at
that point there are only three mails a year nothing can be definitely
known for some time.
After three years' successful experiment as local superintendent at
Point Barrow, Mr. Hawkesworth was last year promoted to the position
of district superintendent of Northern Alaska, with headquarters at
Kotzebue. He is one of the great mushers of the far North and ii
seems highly improbable that misfortune should befall him.
Not until the revenue cutter brings down the mail in September
will the mystery of these stray dogs be solved. But a man without a
dog-team in that section is helpless.
Dawson Hero Badly
Injured by Dynamite
John Murray, a well-known miner of Little Eldorado, in the
Fairbanks district, was badly lacerated about the body and arms
by an explosion of dynamite a short time ago. Pie was rushed tc.
town on the on the railroad auto and taken to St. Joseph hospital,
where he is now on his way to recovery. Although for a time it
looked as though Murray would lose the sight of both his eyes he
never faltered in courage, and to this in a measure the Fairbanks
Times attributes his progress toward complete recovery.
John Murray will be remembered by the old-timers of Dawson
in connection with an exciting episode in which he was the leading
figure- With several other men he had worked the previous win
ter on a claim on Gold hill, which is about 12 miles above Dawson
itself, and the sluicinsr operations were in full swing. The dump

=Flat City --
was a large one, as it was the result of a winter’s hard work by tin
men. The owners, however, had taken the first two or thret
cleanups into town without even giving a thought to paying tin
men for their labor. It was at the time of the next cleanup that
Murray earned the friendship of these men in a very material way.
After the gold had been cleaned up, Murray followed the owner?
to their cabin and wanted to know whether or not it was their inten
tion to square up with the men for their winter’s work. They pre
sumed that the men could wait awhile longer for their gold, but
Murray thought otherwise. He used force, took away their gold,
and paid off the men himself, weighing out to each what was his
due. The operators resented this liberty on Murray’s part and
had the high-handed miner arrested- He was in jail for only six
days, being released for want of sufficient cause.
Knabie Met Tofty
In Far-Away Peru
After an absence of two years, says the Fairbanks Times, Her
man Knabie, formerly of Chena, has returned to Fairbanks, bringing
with him a firmer belief than ever in the mining possibilities of Alaska.
His travels took him to many different countries, including Peru,
the Argentine, Brazil, Mexico, Nicaragua and even Afiica.
His party were in Nicaragua at the time of the revolution, and
had some odd experiences in and around Bluefields, the capital of the
country.
While there he met a man who wore the familiar gold pan of the
Arctic Brotherhood and the person proved lo be a mining man in the
employ of an American syndicate, who were contemplating operating
in that country. After a long talk on Alaskan affairs, they separated
without either learning the other’s name.
While wandering in Peru, Mr. Knabie met Herman Tofty, former
ly of the Hot Springs district, and discoverer of pay on Toftv. Tofty
is still interested in mining and has a concession from the Peruvian
government of 12,000 acres for mineral land which he is engaged in
mining.
One Reason For the Tramway
Residents of Iditarod who thought
that the Iditarod Traction company:
was constructing a tramway to the j
creeks for the purpose of making a;
little money, were evidently mistaken.
All the way from Valdez comes the
true explanation, and in the illuminat-,
I
ing pages of John Frame's Daily Miner
we find it. He it is:
T,./^ Daro line is being built between
Iditarod City and Flat creek in the
hope of saving the old townsite.”
Now’ what do you think of that?
