The Grebe
"Colortone”
hushes annoying sounds and al
lows notes of voice and instrumen t
to reach you in full natural tones
IT enables you to alter to your
taste the quality or timbre of
speech or music from high, thin
pitch to low, deep, round tones.
This receiver, unlike others, is
not at the mercy of the loud
speaker. The “Colortone” also
helps to subdue to a great degree,
the scratching, hissing, whistling
sounds that are usually the bane
of radio reception.
The "S's” and the "H's” are plainly
audible; naturalness of sound replaces
the artificiality which has heretofore in
terfered with radio enjoyment.
Do not miss a demonstration of this great
Grebe innovation.

NEW MACHINE SHOP IS
MAKING FINE HEADWAY
Little has been published about one
of Seward’s newest of business estab
' lishments, the modern mechine shop
of George Benult, housed on the se
cond floor in Ogle’s Garage.
But a visit to this shop will surprize
i the average citizen of Seward for it is
without question one of the best equip
ped machine shops in the Territory.
Being located, in what is reputed to
be the most modern of public garages
in Alaska, it is aptly situated.
For a number of months now the
iproprieter has been slowly adding new j
tools and general machinery, needed
I in auto and marine engine work, es
pecially, until at the present time he
has brought it up to such a state i
that all kinds of machinery repair!
work can now be handled.
The business has been growing
steadily and within a matter of a few
weeks Mr. Benuit expects to put on an I
extra man.

NORTHERN NOTES
John E. Groth has taken a lease
and bond on three lode claims owned
by Alex Singletary in the Port Wells
i mining district, and is endeavoring
I to raise $10,000 to put the property
'on a development basis. The claims
1 are known as Charlie No. 1, No. 2
land No. 3 and before the war Single
Itary milled 17 sacks of ore at Valdez
j which averaged $21 to the ton. There
| are about 2,000 tons ore ore on the
I dump now, and a dozen essays made
of the ore averaged $11. The pro
perty is now being examined by an
engineer and if the report is favora
ble Groth will immediately attempt;
j to raise the money necessary for the ^
j equipment needed.

Mr. Swensen of the Swensen Com- i
i .. i
| pany of Nome, states that conditions
| along the Siberian coast show much
improvement in a business as well
as a moral way. One of the princi
pal things that the Soviet Commit
tee of the North comtemplate doing
is the building of a large school at
Lawrence Bay, near East Cape. They
plan to gather up all the native and
Russian children at different coast
settlements and bring them to this
commuinty center where they will
educate, feed and care for them, with
the intention of making useful citi
zens out of them. Considerable acti
vity is also going on along the Sibe
rian coast. The Soviet steamer Ko
lyma laden with a cargo of supplies
for several Siberian coast points,
mainly Lena River, also carried two
hydroplanes. The vessel was unable
to reach Wrangell Island due to ice
conditions and the vessel anchored
off North Cape while the hydroplanes
made the round trip successfully to
Wrangell. Whenever ice is encount
ered, the planes are used to locate
leads in the, ice and to direct the
ship.

Mrs. Anna Turner, 66, born in
Manchester, England, and for many
years a resident of Juneau, having
run several rooming houses there at
different times, passed away in that
city last week, the cause being heart
trouble. Little is known of the rela
tives of the deceased other than that
her husband died in 1908, and she
has two daughters whose where
abouts are unknown.
* * *
Duncan Kennedy, a native of Glen
garry county, Ontario, and well
known sourdough of Dawson, died
recently at that town. He was 66
v
years of age. In the early days Ken
nedy had made his home in South
Dawson, where he had many inti
mate friends. Since coming to the
Klondike, Kennedy had followed the
mining game most of the time.

Some splendid gold quartz has
been uncovered recently in the Val
dez creek district, according to Bruno
Agostino, recent arrival in Anchor
age. Lawrence Campbell is reported
to have found a two-foot ledge of
free milling ore near the head of
Timberline creek. Lew Powless, who
has been engaged in developing some
quartz properties, has also found rich
ore.
* * •
John Carlson, who owns consider
able placer ground in the Valdez
creek district, and H. I. Staser, who
is associated with Powless in quartz
properties, left Cantwell last week
for that district, to check up on de
velopments of the last season.
* * *
B. Agostino is associated with a
number of others in a long term
lease on placer ground owned by
Carlson on Valdez creek and mining
operations were started there early
this summer. Nine men were engag
ed in work on the ground all sum
mer. They found considerable gold,
but failed to locate the paystreak
which must be found to Insure the
success of the undertaking. The
they have already done represents
an outlay of upwards of $15,000 in
labor and other expenses, the biggest
item being a grade ditch five miles
in length to bring water to the bench
where they are working. Another
and steeper ditch two miles long was
put in this season to bring water
from another direction, and a third
ditch wil be built next summer to
add still further to the water supply.
* * *
According to a recent arrival from
the Valdez creek district, the sum
mer was a very dry one. They only
had one real rain during the entiro
summer. A little snow has been wit
nessed, but that disapperead quickly.
Low temperatures at night has given
considerable trouble with the water
supply, necessitating an early shut
down.
• * •
According to Mr. Agostino, the old
Valdez creek placer ground formerly
owned by the McKinley Gold Pla
cers company, which has been work
ed under a leasing arrangement dur
ing the last two seasons, has pro
duced very satisfactory returns this
summer. It is thought that all the
men working there will make better
than wages for the summer and it Is
possible that they will continue work
throughout the winter, taking out a
dump for spring sluicing.
