, ALASKA YOUTH IN GANG
In the Tacoma Ledger, of recent
date, there appeared photographs of
three young bandits who combined
the sensational Pierce County jail
break, accounts of which may be re- )
called. Of the three one is an Alaskan 1
youth, well known in this district, I
Howard Sheehan. The youths held up
* the jailer at their cell door, then,
stuck up another jailer, fled thru the
sheriff’s office, climbed out a window
►
and dashing across the street com
mandeered an auto and escaped.

IDEZ CREEK MS
Of all the knocking about Alaska
■L. (Lou) A. Powless has done—travel
ing, not using the hammer—the only
mining proposition he ever run up
against personally that looked good
to him was the Valdez creek strike
of three years ago. That’s what he
informed The Gateway yesterday upon
being invited to say something for
publication about the new camp which
been the magnet to interest so many
| oldtimers. He has been in Alaska for
11-years and though he had seen a
number of likely looking prosjects,
yet never did he feel the impulse to
drop everything and take a chance
until he became interested in the Val
dez Creek ground.
Now that he is, he is sticking with
it to* the finish, such is his confidence.
There are five veins of free milling
ore on the ground averaging in width
from three feet to the almost unbe
lievable width of 38 feet. The assays
bring $7.00 to $296 a ton.
It is the intent, Mr. Powless said,
to sled in supplies this winter and in
the spring start development work.
When asked about a mill on the
ground he said the company is profit
ing by the experiences of other mining
outfits and in this connection they do
not propose to even think about pur
chasing a mill until such a time when
the development work has revealed
the character of the ore, and it is
blocked out. At that time the sort
of mill they want will be determined.
Mr. Powless has been prospecting
about in that district, also carrying on
development work on the claims for
the last three years. Valdez Creek is
an approximate 60 miles Eeast of
Cantwell, Alaska Railroad. Since the
advent of his company into the region
it has been the scene of considerable
activity not only by his company but
by many other mining men and it is
known the entire district is looked
with favor.
Heading the company known as the
Alaska Range Mining & Development
Co., Inc., is Harry I. Staser, deputy
U. S. marshal at Anchorage, as pres
ident; Noel W. Smith, general man
ager of the Alaska Railroad, vice pres.
1 ident; and Mr. Powless, secretary
! | treasurer, and incidentally, the mosl
active member of the organization
