SfclWARD. ALVSKA, THUR5DAV, MARCH 23, UH6,
The first thought that comes when one meets the three gentlemen who
form the Government Board of Conciliation and Arbitration is that the>
mean business. That sou mis rather weak to express the impression created.
Each one of the three strikes you as a man who, when let loose at any task,
would forget about everything else in the world. One is tempted to use a
simile about t dog at a rabbit hole but that would be hardly either poetic or
flattering, although the members of the Board themselves would be the first
to laugh at the uncomplimentary comparison. That is the type ol men sent
up on this most important mission in connection with the raiload; They are
men who want to anti who know how to dig into any work set out for them
and to do it w ithout putting on any “dog." which, bv the way, is going back
to the canine question again.
By the way, they decided upon a name for the Commission last evening
for the first time when the Gateway asked for its official title. “Well, we
might as well give it a name now as any time,’’ said Mr. Moffat, and after a
little thought cut came “The Government Board of Conciliation and Arbitra
tion.”
Welcome to the G. B. C. A. and may its work bring everlasting peace.
|>o you notice, by the way. that the letters might also stand for God Bless
the Commissions Actions. It has big work to do—work that might have a
tremendous bearing on the future of Alaska’s development.

The Cham, er of Commerce of Nome and Seward Peninsula has asked
the co-operation of other chambers and commercial bodies throughout the
territory for the establishment of a Territorial chamber similar to the greater;
organization known as the National Chamber of Commerce of the United j
States. Seward has been picked out as one of the cities asked for this co
operation and there is no reason v.hv the request should not be granted
for this city’s sake as well as for the sake of Nome and the whole territory.
It seems to be a mighty good idea to make the wishes of Alaska be known
solidly.

WOMAN PIONEER OF EARLY
DAYS PASSES TO BEYOND
The following story, clipped from
a recent issue of the Los Angeles
Times, tells of the death of a worn:*it
who, during her life in the North, was
probably its best known pioneer of
the gentler sex. She was known
throughout the length of the Yukon
as Mrs. John J. Healey, but soon afte
she took up her residence outside, she
became the wife of Fritz Kloke a
Southern California banking man.
Among the list of pallbearers the
names of Fred Noyes and J. J.
Thornton, both former residents of
Fairbanks, will be noted. The article
is as follows:
“Mrs. Isabella Mary Kloke, wife of
Fritz Kloke, president of the First
National bank of Calexico, died last
night at the Rossiyn hotel, this city,
where she had been for several weeks.
Mrs, Kloke had a remarkable career,
as a woman pioneer, in Alaska, made
a fortune there and distributed thou
sands with a lavish hand to the sick
and suffering. She was known to
hundreds of the men who participated
in the development of the Alaskan
gold fields and had a wide acquaint-;
ance throughout Southern California.
She had been unconscious for several
days.—Ex.
CHENA MILL TO CRUSH
TUNGSTEN ORE VERY SOON
FAIRBANKS.—What will be a big
thing for the Interior and will mark
another step in the devolpment of the
country is now promised. Martin
Harrais is now in Chena, having gone
down there recently, prepared, so say
reports from the town at the mouth
of the Chena river, to put the t$n
stamp mill in shape so that the ore
turned out by Johitson Ewers from
their mine at tho head of Gilmore
creek can be crushed. There are
now at Chena two carloads of tung
sten ore which is ready to be run
through the mill and more will be
shipped from the mine right along.
It is believed that the operating of
the mill will see the rommcncing of
the development of the tungsten
properties of which there are many
in this vicinty. The Ott Mining com
pany, on Fairbanks creek, t.ave found
much tungsten in their quartz.
Where the ore that they ere taking
out runs low in gold values, it runs
hig in tungsten, and vice versa. It
is possible that they too will ship ore
to the Chena mill, but the long haul
from Fairbanks creek to the railroad
at Gilmore, makes it seem unlikely.—
