John Saari, accused of having par
ticipated in the fish piracy crime for
which Val Klemm and Walter Me Call
were convicted, has been freed at
Ketchikan of the charges by a jury in
the district court.
Standing as an everlasting monu
ment to the achievements of its
builder and owner, P. J. Gilmore,
the new Gilmore hotel building on
Front street, in Ketchikan, the erec
tion of which was started less than
a year ago, has been completed and
before the end of February the entire
furnishings of the new absolutely fire
proof concrete structure will have
been installed and ready for the
grand opening.
An Associated Press dispatch re
ceived by the Empire stated that Mrs.
Nancy Baldwin, aged 76, mother of
Grant A. Baldwin, Juneau contractor
and builder, passed away in Seattle.
Mrs. Baldwin visited in Juneau about
ten years ago and since then has re
sided in California. Mr. Baldwin is
leaving for Seattle to take the body
to Addington, Illinois, for burial. Mrs
Baldwin is survived by her brother
S. J. Sheets, living in Addington and
her son, in Juneau.
According to information received
in Juneau, Walter DeLong is now
purchasing for the Alaska Consolidat
ed cannerie-s operating in Southeast
ern Alaska. Mr. DeLong is well
known in Juneau. In the early days
of Thane he was with the Alaska
Gastineau Company, then went to the
Westward and was with the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, returning
from Anchorage to Juneau where he
was manager of the C. W. Young
Hardware Company for a number of
years. He left Juneau for Seattle
about four years ago.
Mike Stepovich, who recently ar
rived in Fairbanks from Fairbanks
Creek, reports there is considerable
activity in a mining way on that creek
and Fish creek below the mouth of
Fairbanks. He says that Orn & Co.,
composed of Eric Orn and a group
of other experienced miners, have
secured a several year’s lease from
him on, the lower end of Fairbanks
Creek. Mr. Orn and his associates
have mined on Dome Creek for the
last 20 years and have now moved ■
their equipment to Fairbanks Creek. |
They have already taken out a large
dump.
C. M. Lockhart is working on Fish
Creek, two miles below the operations \
of Orn & Co. He has erected large (
camps and installed a complete min
ing plant similar to that of Orn. A
working shaft has been completed
and Mr. Lockhart is now engaged in
taking out a dump. Last fall he
built a water system for spring and \
summer sluicing operations.
Mr. Stepovich says that he ha3
finished the constructioh of a long
ditch and penstocks for the furnish
ing of water for a hydraulic plant
which will be used for the purpose of
removing overburden. The ditch will
carry eight sluicebeads of water.
It is estimated the removal of over
burden will uncover approximately
3.000. 000 yards of goldbearing gravels.
All timber and brush was removed
from the area last fall and this'
winter. The ground is located on
Fish Creek, one-half mile below Fair
banks. It is expected that a dredge
will be installed within the near
future and as there are a total of
100.000. 000 yards of workable ground
owned by Mr. Stepovich it is probable
that a fleet of boats will eventually
be employed in removing the gold, j
