NEWS NOTES
Six people, three of one sex and
three of the other sex, left in the rain
at six p. m. Saturday and returned
with six trout before six in the rain
yesterday afternoon from the Bunga- j
low, all six sick from the seeping
weather. They were Mr. and Mrs.
Harr, Mr. George Switzer and Miss
White, and Mr. Bryce Howard and
Miss Byles. It was so wet, they say,
that the trout were alive on the
plates.
The Igloo of Pioneers is now mak-i
ing preliminary preparations for
holding a barbecue this summer.
Charles E. Brown bought two bears
recently on his way to Anchorage at
Seldovia.
The proposal has recently been
made to explode large quantities or
dynamite to drive away the seals at
the entrance to the bay and let the
fish come in. George Phelps says
that a schooner named the Parallel,
loaded with fifty tons of dynamite,
hit the beach near the Cliff House,
San Francisco, in the eighties and
went off. The seals went away all
right, all right, but they were back in
a week. The seals out there are cer
tainly a nuisance.
Captain Baldcrston, of the good
launch Hustler, has her in the water,
and commencing today will run be
tween Anchorage and Kn>k. If the
Hustler is as clean on the inside as
red and w hile paint have made her (
on the outside, she is worthy of pat-,
ronage.—Cook Inlet Pioneer.

THOMAS RIGGS, JR.,
ON HIS WAY TO NORTH
SEATTLE, May 6.—'Thomas Riggs,
jr., of the Alaskan engineering com-1
mission, arrived in Seattle yesterday
with Mrs. Riggs and their two child
ren and immediately plunged into the
preparation for the season’s work at
Fairbanks. He will have charge of
the construction to be started at Ne
nana and Fairbanks.
“I can’t tell just how much we will
be able to do this season,” Mr. Riggs
said yesterday. “It depends entirely
upon conditions in the North. If we
have sufficient funds ami enough labor
we should build into the Nenana coal
fields. I have heard that most of the
available labor has joined the stam
pede into the Innoko district and that
many others have gone into the Tolo
vana. However, I do not know just
how many men we will need.”
Mr. Riggs expects to leave here for
Fairbanks during the last week of the
month, taking his ffamily with him.
He said that W. C. Edes, of the com
mission will arrive here within a few
weeks.
F. H. Bailey, division engineer,
with a party of twenty-four men, and
G. F. Cramer, disbursing agent at
Fairbanks, will leave this morning on
the steamer Mariposa for Skagway.
The party expects to drive its own
wagons over I*ake Lebarge and go
down the Yukon on the first breakup
of the ice.—Seattle P.-I.

[Kdward C. Glenorrls, a convict In the
Rhodo Islnnd state prison, who recently
professed religion, confessed, the police
say. that he took part In the secret
ourial of Dorothy Arnold, the long miss
ing New York heiress, after she was
murdered lie said the burial took place
In the cellar of a house near W out

wealthy New York man. who hired the
services of Glenorris as a guard to pre

After examining Glenorris' statement.

said that neither he nor any member of

form company to operate
mines in willow creek
Messrs. Doheny and Thompson, of
Montreal, Canada, have formed the
Willow Creek Mines Company, to op
erate in the Willow creek country,
back of Knik. Their holdings include
the lease on the Gold Bullion mine,
the largest producer in that district.
Five additional stamps are being in
stalled at the Gold Bullion mine this
season.
The Willow creek camp will soon be
reached by. the government railway
from Anchorage, and freight will only
have to be hauled a distance of from
twelve to fifteen miles, instead of
from thirty-five to forty miles as at
present. The operators in the Willow
creek camp will use Anchorage as
their base of supplies as soon as the
road is completed to Moose creek,
which is expected to be some time in
July of this year.
The additional developments under
taken this year by Messrs. Doheny
and Thompson means more for the
future of the mining industry of this
section than appears from a state
ment of the bare facts. The capital
employed is mostly Canadian, and as
it is generally known that even the
most promising of the Canadian
mines are practically idle, the great
faith shown in additional investments
in the vicinity of Anchorage speaks
volumes for the confidence and good
judgment of the investors, especially
when the investment was made after
thorough investigation, by competent
mining engineers and geologists,
among them being Mr. Carl Rein
hardt, who spent all of last season in
