PROSPECTING BY
DREDGE STOPPED
BY WORLD WAR
FAIRBANKS.—(By mail.) — War
between Germany and the United
States is indirectly responsible for
closing down the prospecting which
was being done on Coldstream by the
Oro Mining & Dreding Company of
California, under the su per in tendency
of L. J. Hohl and L. F. Paddison, ac
cording to Hohl. At any rate, the
prospecting work has been ordered
stopped from the home office of the
company in California, and Hohl says
the war, causing the impossibility of
getting material for dredges or dredge
machinery at the present time, is the
chief cause.
Explai ning the matter in detail
Hohl stated that he received informa
tion some time ago to the effect that
some such action might have to be
taken by the company. In answering
the telegram he received he remon
strated with his superiors, telling
them of the absolute necessity of con
tinuing the work at the present time,
only to receive, a few days ago. in
structions to dismantle and store the
drill that was being used in the pros
pecting, or to sell it if possible.
Hohl, of course, sees the matter in
the same light as do his superiors.
Upon being told in wires received by
him that it was impossible to expect
the delivery of even the smallest piece
of machinery of any kind, within
eighteen months, and probably longer
than that, he could readily see that
prospecting under such conditions is
to be unthought of, and has according
ly dismantled the drill, as ordered.

BUMPER CROP OF
STRAWBERRIES)
AT HAINES
- I
I
SKAGWAY, June 12.—(By mail.)
—Visitors who were in Haines Sunday
saw in the making what is expected,
to be the biggest crop of strawberries
ever grown in Alaska’s famous straw
berry district. The acreage has been
somewhat increased over that of last
year, in preparation for war-time pre
serves and jams.
One who has seen the Haines ber
ries, sometimes as big as eight inches
in circumference, and smacking his
lips over their delicious flavor, can
imagine that Tommy Atkins and tin*
soldiers of Uncle Sam “won’t need
nothing else’’ should any of this jam
ever find its way to the front.
When strawberries are mentioned in
Haines, the first question put to the
visitor is, “Have you seen Anway’s
place .
C. V. Anway is the dean of the
Haines strawberry growers. Some
fourteen years ago he got from Jack
Dalton at Porcupine the plants from
which he started the Lynn canal
berry industry. But, as In* told the
story Sunday, the present variety is
the result of an accident.
Some six years ago, after a hard
winter, Anway found most of his
plants dead. Besides the Porcupine
berries he had been experimenting
with plants from Hood river. The
seedlings he found alive that spring
are believed to have come from the

crossing of the two varieties and are
the origin of the present Haines ber
ries.
Whence the Dalton variety first
came, Anway said he did not know,
further than that he was told that
they had been grown in Haines by
IJillie Dickinson, one of the pioneers
of the district.
Anway s ranch is on the road to
Wells, about a mile and a half be
yond Haines. Snuggling against the
foot of the mountain, its three or four
acres of cleared ground are bordered
on two sides by the thick pine woods.
On the side fronting the road is a fine
mountain view across Chilkoot inlet.
Here Anway keeps bachelor quart
ers, grows strawberries and apples,
and this year, of course, spuds. Last
year from one tree, the second year
it bore, he said he picked 1C>0 fine ap
ples. He now has a few cherry trees
with which he is experimenting. One
of them is in blossom. He is confident
a good Alaska apple will be developed
and is optimistic about cherries.
Though the summer is late this
year, the Haines strawberries are now
in bloom and some of the early var
ieties are expected to be ripe by the
Fourth of July.
Beside Anway, who has about an
acre of berries, other Haines growers
are H. A. Gibson, Jack Rath, Tim
Crcedon, Sam Nixon, William Holgate,
S. Stride, George Hinehman, John B.
Peterson. Peterson is also experi
menting this year with berries at Bur
ner's bay.
