WILLIAM BARTHOLFF
When the grain ripens, it ripens fast and then passes away! Thus j
William Barthold, age 75, another beloved pioneer Alaskan who died at
Seattle the other day, returned to Eternity.
This grand old man of the North, who fulfilled the term of exis
tence allotted to him, gave the best portion of his life in establishing
and demonstrating that the industrial development of Alaska cannot
be prosecuted successively except by finding and developing her miner
al wealth. ,
Often we find men who are wrapped in their work, not for the fin
ancial gain that comes with success, but because of a real devotion to
certain principles. Among these was Mr. Barthold who had the vision
and ability to lead in many mining ventures in Alaska more particu
larly Willow Creek, the Gold Bullion Mine and the Mabel Mine, two j
valuable properties which he discovered jointly with his brother Gene,
a lasting memorial to their edorts.
William Barthold was not alone esteemed for his professional ;
ability by the mining fraternity as a whole, but he was beloved for his
many qualities of heart a nd mind, and he wall long be held in adect
ionate remembrance by all who had come within the sphere of his
genial and gentle personality. i|
AIK TRANSPORTATION IN ALASKA
According to figures compiled by Cecil A. James for the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce, so successful have been the delivery of fruits, ■
vegetables and other perishable commodities by the Alaska air service
that express companies in the States are negotiating for thru ship
ments of these commodities to all points on regular calls of planes.
Alaska now has five recognized air organizations, including the
Alaska-Washington Airways, Inc., operating in Southeastern Alaska;
Gillam Airways, Cordova; Alaskan Airways, Pacific International Air
ways, operating out of bases at Anchorage and Fairbanks; Northern
Air Transport, operating out of Nome, and the Seward Airways, oper
ating out of Seward.
A report submitted by the Alaska-Washington Airways, Inc., shows
that for the year 1931, ending June 30, a total of 4,922 passengers were
carried, covering 161,141 statute miles and 574,638 passenger miles with
out a forced landing or accident.
Thus within a few years following the advent of Lieut Carl Ben
Eielson, and Russell Merrill with his little pontoon plane, the Alaskan
service has grown into an institution equal to the best in the land.
By a peculiar twist of fate three of the stellar pioneers of the ser
vice, who blazed the first air trails of the North—Eielson, Merril and
Ralph Wein, with Earl Borland, Eielson’s mechanic in his Siberian
crash—are numbered as the only operating casualties in the service.
The Japanese Current may be hot stuff to many but to Alaskans
on the edge of Bering Sea, it’s only an icyclA back of the neck.

QUAKE SUNDAY MORN
Briareus, the giant buried by j
Jupitor under Mt. Etna, must have
turned over Sunday morning at
5:30 for at that time a rather heavy
earthquake struck Seward. The!
quake was about one minute’s dur
ation and caused no damage.
An unusual sight was seen in the
bay Saturday when chunks of ice I
ice could be discerned floating J
about. The ice came from Resur
rection River, Oldtimers said.
Mrs. Leonard Hopkins and son,
who have been spending the pre
sent winter at their home near
Woodrow, are spending a few weeks
in town.
