YOU CANNOT KEEP A SQUIRREL
While many hardy young men are, like a dog chasing
his tail, milling around and bumping into each other in
an effort to connect with a day’s pay job, Dune Little,
veteran miner of the old school, has a “long tom” set up
at Schooner’s Bend, Kenai river, lower Lake country, and
is lifting from $4.00 to $5.00 per day from the gravels.
Considered in the light of romantic mining this does not
seem much, until one takes into account the fact that
Dune is a business man and independent of depressions,
panics and the paymaster’s time sheet. Like as not, when
he turns off the water and shuts down next winter he
will have more cash in his poke than a half-dozen slaves of
the pick and shovel taking orders from someone else—and
may be not getting their money.
A NATIONAL PARADOX
When the veterans sailed for Europe to uphold the
country’s flag, they were hailed as patriots; when they
returned they were acclaimed heroes; but when driven
by hunger and want to march on the national capital on
a peaceful mission, it is announced that the police of
Washington will finger-print them. Thus we have the
confirmation of the belief that war is criminal.
Well, if the police finger-print the veterans, why not
the veterans see their finger-prints and raise them a
“mugging.'”’ Possibly thru that method many things
might be learned.
These items are taken from var
ious Alaska papers.
Attorney Frank Crane, formerly
cf Fairbanks, arrived at Cordova
recently. He and former Judge
E. E. Ritchie will raise funds to de
velop the Mayfield group of j
claims, owned by W. A. Taylor,!
William Date and others. Mr.
Ritchie is coming north later.
Engine trouble forced Clayton L.
Scott down on the Yukon several
miles above Nulato last week. He
made repairs and continued his
trip.
Taylor Aulthouse, 81 years old, j
who prospected in Alaska for 30 j
years beginning in 1901, died at j
Seattle two weeks ago. His widow
intends to return to Alaska.
With one child dead and the
mother and another child ill with
what was diagnosed as poisoning,
an emergency plea for an airplane
came to Fairbanks from McGrath.
The three-year-old daughter of
Joe Condra, roadhouse owner at
Big River, died and Mrs. Condra:
and another child wrere ill with the
same complaint which had caused
the death of the baby. Before a
plane could be sent Pilot Art Wood
ley, en route to Holy Cross, stopped
at McGrath to refuel. Informed
of the emergency he flew to Big
River and brought Mrs. Condra and
two daughters to Fairbanks.
The body of James Peterson, old
timer of the Interior, was found
in his hillside cabin about half a
mile from the town of Fox by a
neighbor. He had died from na
tural causes. Mr. Peterson ap
parently died while asleep.
At a hearing before U. S. Com
missioner Kent G. Robinson of
Cordova Jack Nelson, old-timer of
that section, was found insane and
will be committed to the Morning
side asylum.
Although definite prices cannot j
be obtained for this season’s pro- |
duction of fish meal and oil, five !
of Southeast Alaska’s herring re- j
duction plants are making plans |
to operate.
The Thorpes moved their sup
plies in a couple of weeks ago and
will go back to their property on
Grubstake Gulch, Willow Creek
district, as soon as snow conditions
permit
