SEEKING INVESTMENTS
Representative of Eastern Capital
Looking Over Situation Mere.
\mong the Excelsior arrivals were
E. C.'Kacey and W. E. Thomas, who
are jointly interested in several placer
and copper properties in this section
of the country.
Mr. Raceyis also looking for promis
ing investments for eastern capitalists,
and intends to spend a couple of months
! in the district, with a view to obtain
I ing all information possible regarding
the country and its resources. He is
connected with the Grand Rapids
Daily News and will do writing for that
and other papers while in Alaska.
When asked as to whether he had
formed an opinion of Seward, Mr.
Kacev replied: “From what I have
seen of Alaska and Alaskan towns I am
convinced that Seward is to be the
Seattle of Alaska.”
Mr. Thomas is an old-timer in Alaska
and has mining interests around Hope
and Sunrise on which $40,000 worth of
development work is being done this
season. _ _
A Nervy Prospector
George Church arrived on the Ex
celsior, enroute to the Kuskokwin via
Bristol bay. The snows of seventy-six
j winters have whitened the head of
this hardy, brave old prospector, but
he is still vigorous and strong, and is
not daunted at the thought of facing
t he trials that beset the pioneer in a
new country. He has passed thirty
five years of his life iu Alaska and is
not a stranger to hardship or danger.
I He has made and spent two fortunes,
1 and goes forth to again acquire a com
petence. _
i Applying for relief to the guardians,
an old woman living in the south of
London .said she had a daughter who
did not allow her anything, but kept
up the payments for her insurance
policy.
THINKS HE HAS
GOOD CHANCE
Ex-Governor Swineford Is Hopeful
of Being Elected Alaska’s
Delegate to Congress.
By Ca'olo to Tho Daily Gateway.
Seattle, Aug. 7 -Ex-Governor A. 1’.
Swineford, Democratic candidate for
delegate to congress for the short
j term, arrived from Nome yesterday on
the steamer Orizaba and sailed on the
steamer Jefferson today for Ketchikan,
his home. The governor lias just re
turned from a political trip to Fair
banks, Nome and other points, and in
an interview before his departure
! said:
••Mv trip has convinced me that J
' have a good chance to be elected. I
see by the papers that there was some
, trouble when my name was presented
1 to the Democratic convention at
j Juneau. I will say that the present
ment of my name was unauthorized by
me. 1 don’t believe in party politics
in Alaska, and if elected 1 shall repre
sent all parties alike. I shall not be
surprised to see Frank VV askey of
Nome withdraw from the race. His
mining interests demand all his time.
If he fails to do so, he may command
enough strength to insure the election
of Murane for the short term. Waskey
would never have been nominated had
prominent Democrats from southeas
tern Alaska answered telegrams from
Nome in regard to the matter. I be
lieve 1 can carry a good share of the
votes in both the Second and Third
districts, and if 1 can get a majority in
| the First district 1 shall be elected.
If I arrive there in time I shall speak
in Ketchikan. Juneau and Douglas be
I fore the election.”

your interests.’’
The following message, dated
at Fairbanks, was received from
Murane today by Frank E. Youngs, Sew
ard member of the territorial com

“I addressed a large and enthusias
tic meeting here yesterday. Gale’s
strength has been over-estimated.

HEAVY LOSS BY
BANK FAILURE
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Chicago, 111. Aug. 7 The Milwaukee
( Avenue State Bank, a workingmen’s
depository, closed its doors yesterday.
The president, Paul Stensland, and
cashier, Henry Heering, are missing,
and have probably lied from the city.
The shortage is said to be over $1,000,
000.
John Visser, treasurer of the Royal
j League, who had all the funds of that
organization there, dropped dead from
heart disease when he heard the news
of the failure. Henry Koepke, who
had the savings of a lifetime in the
bank committed suicide by shooting
himself in the head when he heard the
j report.
The street in front of the bank
! building is crowded with angry de
| positors who threaten to break down
| the doors of the institution. Policemen
have been on duty all night guarding
the bank from the mob.

Chicago, 111., Aug. 10—Cashier Her
| ring of the Milwaukee Avenue bank
1 which failed several days ago, has
1 surrendered to the police of this city.

Stensland was looting, but lacked ab
solute proof. A receiver for the in
i stitution is now in charge and lias an
j nouneed that lie will pay 25 per cent of
the liabilities immediately.
