Cantwell Miner
Dies Following a
Prolonged Illness
After many months of illness and
suffering, death enfolded John M.
Johnson, 61 years today at 7 a. m.
4 v Mr. Johnson was a well known
miner from the Cantwell district
and entered the Seward General
Hospital last January. Little hope
was held for his recovery from the
first and many times during the
intervening months it was thought
] the Oldtimer Could not possibly
survive a few days more.
Mr. Johnson was bom in Sweden
Ion'November 11,1872 and had been
a resident of Alaska since the
early days and was generally well
acquainted with pioneers.
One of his most constant of vis
itors was John Carlson, placer op
erator of Cantwell, who journeyed
oftime the long distance between
Cantwell and Seward to visit his
old friend. Mr. Carlson went south
on one of the last steamers with
a huge shipment of gold dust.

Grant Establishing
Redaction Plant
In Representative J. s. Hofman
Seward has a solon who undoubt
edly is one of Alaska hardest
working and zealous of legisla
tors. The following letter from
Delegate to Congress Anthony J.
Dimond is a fair example of the
type of work Representative Hof
man has been carrying on since
adjournment:
“I have your letted with refer
ence to the possibility of obtaining
a federal grant for the establish
ment of a custom reduction ’plant
for ores.
“With your statement that such
a plant would benefit alj of South
western Alaska—And for that mat
ter the entire Territory—i am
thoroughly in agreement, it would
accelerate the development of
mining as perhaps few other things
could.
“But unfortunately there are no
means whatsoever insofar as I can
discover whereby governmental
funds could be obtained for such
a project. Neither the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation nor the
Public Works Administration is
prepared to finance such a plant,
and there is no other federal
agency to which to turn. Unless
some change is made in the acts
regulating distribution of money
under the Public Works Adminis
tration and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, financing of
a reduction plant would have to be
carried out by private capital.
“That seems a pity when the'
need is so great and the benefits!
to be derived would be so exten-1
sive, but under present conditions!
there simply is no hope of getting i
money from the federal govern
ment for this purpose.”
LOST RUDDER
The SS Admiral Evans, of the
Pacific Steamship Company, for
merly on the Seattle-Seward run
but now voyaging between Seattle
and California ports, lost her rud
der Tuesday morning off Astoria
near the mouth of the Columbia. |
The vessel was in no immediate;
danger, it is understood, and ves-j
sels put out from the Oregon port'
to aid the Evans. 1

natural duck refuge
Lower Kenai lake has become a
natural duck refuge and it is not
unusual to see large flocks within
a stone’s throw of residences. Dur

and their brocds disported them
selves along the shore among the
moored skiffs and power boats. No
one shoots at, or molests the ducks.
