SEWARD, ALASK V, Till RSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1915.
In a recent issue of the Seattle Post Intelligencer appears a dispatch
from Seward telling that Wickcrsham. Kdes an John Ballaine had left this
city for Washington to get an appropriation from Congress. That is some
swell press agent work on the part of the great John. “Me and Kdes and
Wick,” says John in effect, “are going out together to work congress.” Of
course, John didn’t send the message himself with his own hands and John
wouldn’t subsidize anyone to do anything—Oh, No!
The result of putting John’s name in that message was that it was
printed where no one would be likely to see it. The paper, of course, felt
it necessary to publish the fact that Kdes and Wickersham were on the way
but the presence of the name of John Ballaine was responsible for having the
story shunted to one side. What a pity for himself that Ballaine hasn’t
enough money to slip a sufficient handout to those outside papers also. But,
really, a paper has to be nearly starving to death before it could sell itself
for what it could get out of John. He has enough evidently, however, tc get
one kind of advertising ami enough left over to secure immunity from ad
vertising himself as a delinquent taxpayer. Seward should continue to
repudiate Ballaine as any sort of a representative for anything.
The following remarks from the Seattle Daily Times indicate the feeling
outside regarding the necessity for the quick construction of the government
railroad to prepare for national defence:
“By far amt large this topic is the most weighty. In considering it
Congress will fall short unless it provide liberally for the Alaska railroad.
What folly now to look upon that project as a mere local affair, when the
navy needs Alaska coal immediately! The railroad fits sqnarely into the de
fense program. It demands attention. When the urgent deficiency bill is
passed there ought to be written into it an appropriation assuring the build
ing of this road into the Matanuska coal fields at once. The navy needs that
fuel right now. How much more pressing and urgent would be the demand
in case of war! Secretary Lane realizes it.. His views are well understood.
They ought to convince legislative Washington."
STRIKE WAS ON
HORSEFLY CREEK
Returning Stampeders Bring Word
That Scene of New Strike Is
District W hich Promises
to Do elope Good Pay.
IDITAROD, Nov. 6.—On Monday
evening last Frank Dawson, Angus
McLellan and Lars Olson, whose de
parture from ;his city with dog teams
ami supplies on Thursday, October 28,
resulted in the organization of a
miniature stampede, returned to the
city, having located claims on a pup
of Horsefly creek. At intervals dur
ing the week others of the stampeders
have returned, and all have the same
story to tell. They report that pay
hx'? been established on fully 11,000
feet of the creek, but no figures as
to values are given. The pup ex
tends but a short distance, and ac
I
cording to the accounts of the return
ing stampedcrs the creek and benches
had been liberally staked.
C. R. Cameron of Flat City and
partner, Jimmy Brewer, were the first
to arrive on the scene following the
original party, and they staked claims
including No. 1 below discovery.
The new strike, if it results in any
thing of importance, will naturally be j
an addition to the business field of,
Iditarod. It is about a day’s travel |
from this city, the trail leaving the1
river a short distance from the Half- j
way roadhouse. It would not be at :
all surprising if more developments
arose in this section, as the influx of
prospectors into a region known to be ;
mineralized may be expected to rc-i
suit in the sinking of many holes on j
the various creeks.
There have been stampedes to this
creek in previous years, but it is be- j
lieved that owing to a misunderstand- j
ing of the topography of the country,
none of the participants in the previ
ous stampedes ever reached Horesfly
creek., There appears to have been
an impression that Horsefly was a
tributary of First Chance creek,
whereas it flows directly into the
Iditarod.
Mr. Dawson stated to The Pioneer i
after his return that while there had
not been much ‘work done at the new’
find, the indications were such as to
warrant prospecting. He is interest- j
ed with Frank Salen and Nels Neil
son, the discoverers, who have been
in the district for two years past. He ;
stated that he panned dirt from the
discovery claim and found coarse
gold, ranging in size from a few’
cents up to one nugget which weigh
ed in the neighborhood of 80 cents.
Some pans revealed no colors, how
ever. While not advising a rush to
the new district, he states that it is a j
most likely-looking neighborhood.
The formation, which is a most im-,
portant factor in the eyes of mining
men, is porphyry and granite. There
is lot of quartz and some schism.
There is also a little sandstone, which
is not looked upon so favorably.—
Pioneer.

The Joys and Clothes
of Yuletide
/CHRISTMAS without mistletoe and holly,
without songs and festivities, without house
adornment and good looking clothes — would
still be Christmas. The joys of Yuletide are of
the spirit. Yet how much more keenly do we
feel these joys because of the century-old Christ
mas customs! And one of the best of these
customs is that we be dressed well for the gather
ings of Christmas time.

makes you look well in any gathering—so rich is it in
variety of woolens, so modern in its fashions, so well
fitting, so excellently tailored. For your Christmas clothes

RILEY LEAVES FOR SEWARD
IDITAROD, Nov. 6.-J. E. Riley, of
the firm of Riley & Marston, operat
ors of the Otter creek derdge, left
on Wednesday morning last for the
outside by way of the Seward trail.
He took the old route via Moore creek
and Takotna. The lack of roadhouses
has no terrors for an old stager such
as Riley. “George” will go to San
Francisco, where he expects to spend
some time, and will return over the
trail in March. He was accompanied
by R. M. Goebel.—Pioneer.
NEWS NOTES
Charley Harper returned yesterday
from the Cache creek country where
he has been since last February. The
dredge of the Cache Creek Dredging
company was to have started over
land yesterday,. It will be drawn by
twenty horses. Mr. Harper will go
back to the Knik couiflry in a few
days.
Oscar Nord arrived in Seward late
last night over the trail from Idita
rod. On account of heavy fresh snow
the trip took him something over
three weeks. The mining season, he
states, has been a successful one. Be
tween thirty and forty local mining
men will leave Iditarod for Seward
immediately after Christmas. Mr.
Nord will leave for the Sitka hot
springs by the next steamer.
Joseph Vogler, proprietor of the
ttohn river roadhouse sends word that
the trail is now in good condition and
the travel already passing that point
is larger than usual at this season.
It. W. Graham arrived over the
trail from Anchorage yesterday. He
states that the trail is good all the
way with the exception of a small run
near 71.
Hoy Fairbanks, a 'irygoods mer
chant of Anchorage, arrived yester-.
day from his home town over the
trail. He may be regarded as the
vanguard of the Anchorage people
who will make this their port for the
winter.
