TALKEETNA
TO BE CENTER
OF TRAFFIC
Heaviest Snow Storm on
Jan. 14. Prepare for
Bin Work
TALKEETNA, Alaska.—(Special)
—The heaviest continual snow storm
ceased the morning of Jan. 14th, after
three days of steady snowing, leaving
about five feet on the level. Nearly
all the birch threes were broken by
the weight of snow on their branches.
The Nicoli tribe of the Talkeetna
Indians with their many children are
comfortably settled in their new log
building recently completed by the
government. They are busily engag- ^
cd making mukluks, fur caps, mocca
sins, etc.
Berg and Woltf are getting out logs
preparatory to the sawing season to
furnish lumber for the houses that
will be built here early in the spring.
Talkeetna will be one of busiest
towns on the new road next season.
Having such traveling facilities as
three rivers, Susitna, Shulitna and
Talkeetna, each going into a different
territory, and the new government
railroad going through the Broad
Pass and iron creek copper country
the outlook for this center is bright.
The marriage of Marshal Healy and
Miss \essitt came as a surprise to
everyone.
Mining Notes
Superintendent Robert Summer*
of the Fairbanks division of the Al- j
aska Road Commission says a winter j
trail will be opened by the commis-'
sion from a point about 30 miles south I
of Xenana, on the railroad right ol 1
way, by the way of Tolkat river to
the mouth of Glacier creek and thence
to the Kantishna diggings.
Copper miners of the Whitehorse
district have received word from the,
Granby smelter at Anyox that the
smelter will be unable to accept any
more ore shipments from them until
next March. The smelter is run T>y
water am! the recent cold weather
has greatly reduced the power so that
a portion of the plant had to be closed
down.
John Aho. who has the contract for
driving the tunnel on the Moh&wx
claims, in the Willow creek district,
near Anchorage, states that the ore
body on these claims is holding steady
between 3 and 4 feet in width and
gives average assay returns of bet
j ter than $43 per ton.
Reports from Ester Dome indicate
that Fairbanks is likely to have one
of the greatest quartz mines in the
world within the next few years. The
properties on which options were
taken by people who are supposed to
be representing the Kennecott Copper
corporation, are showing up well un
der the development work and pros
pecting that is being done and, ac
cording to one man who has interest
in the ground, there is no doubt now
that the sale will be put through.
When the options were taken it was
not stated openly that the Kennecott
Copper corporation was the concern,
that had the options, but a number of
merchants and others report that bills
of goods sold to the outfit were pur
chased in the name of this great min
ing company. At present about 3» j
men are working on the property and
it is said that a ledge 70 feet wide
has been uncovered, which will aver
age between $8 and $10 per ton, and
it is estimated that this ledge would
’ mean a fortune, even the values* j
were much lower. Tn these properties
which are under option on Ester
Dome there are many Fairbanks peo
pie interested, but the principal one*
! are Tyndall, Finn and McLaughlin r
j Shorty Thomas. Ed. Smith, George
Smith and William McC.lone; Ren
Thompson, Julius Hoffman and a
j number of others._^

ARBOR DAY
PLANS TAKEN
UP BY CLUB
Arbor Day is to be celebrated in
earnest in Seward this year, plans to
that end are being taken up by the
Women’s club. To overcome the ap
pearance of bareness in the residence
district which resulted from the burn
ing over of the townsite after the
larger trees were cut down, it is sug-|
gested that hemlock or spruce tree*
be transplanted from the forests out
of town along the outside of the side-,
walks.
Another suggestion includes the
planting of flowering shrubs in yards.
To overcome the fact that roots of
trees which grew naturally on the
townsite, did not penetrate the gravel
but spread out on top so that the tree
when isolated was blown down by the
first wind, special care is urged in
planting. Holes of four or five feet
in depth should be dug first and filled
with earth, thus encouraging the
small trees to root deep.
STEAMER’S CREW
MADE STRIKE AT
NAVIDAD BAY
SAN FRANCISCO. — (Special)—
Word of a new gold strike on the
west coast of Mexico has been
brought here by the discoverers, the
crew of the S. S. San Pedro:
Every member of the crew of the
San Pedro, which arrived here from
Navidad bay, thirty-five miles from
Manzanillo, Mexico, had a bag of gold
washed from the sands of a creek that
tumbled into the bay near where the
steamer was loading cedar logs.
One of the crew discovered the
gold. All hands quit loading logs and
with dippers, pans ami skillets start
ed gold mining. The skipper finally
promised that if the men would finish
loading the steamer he would gtve
them a whole day to hunt gold. He
kept his word. They averaged for
the day’s work more than $60 apiece.
One man had more than $200 in the
precious dust.
