The addition of this shift will prac
tically double the daily output of the
mine. The number of men employed
will be nearly doubled.
L. F. Protzman, prominent busi
ness man of Fairbanks, was taken in
to custody this week by the Federal
officials, upon a charge of insanity.
Pending developments as to his men
tal condition, he is confined in the De
tention hospital.
A night shift will be started some
time this week at the Premier mine
on Moose creek, according to present
plans of the receiver. The addition
is being made to increase the output
for the filling of the contract for 9,000
tons recently awarded by the Alaska
railroad.

United States Marshal Lynn Smith,
accompanied by Deputy Marshal Fred
Parker of Fairbanks went to Richard

der a mortgage foreclosure. The
property was bought in by George
Preston for $1,000.

Fred Schade, sixty, oldtimer of the
Cook Inlet district, was found dead in
his cabin at Seldovia last week, a vic
tim of suicide presumed to have been
prompted by ill health. He shot him
self in the mouth with a .22 revolver.
Upon learning of the tragedy, the
United States commissioner and a
jury proceeded to the oldtimer’s cab
in and held an inquest there, the ver
dict being that Schade had come to
his death by his own hand. The body
was buried near the cabin.
Shade had spent most of his time
around Seldovia during the last sev
eral years, finding employment here
during the fishing season.
An increase of 200 per cent in num
ber of foxes was made this season
on Heska island, where Dr. C. A. Pol
lard and J. A. Field operate their fox
farm. When pelting operations are
completed between thirty and forty
pelts will be ready for market. Twen
ty-two pair of blue foxes and three
silvers will still remain after this
work is finished.

Residents of Sedovia turned out
en mass to pay their respects to the
memory of Miss Bessie Lloyd, popu
lar member of the teaching staff of
the Seldovia school whose death oc
curred early Saturday morning. The
funeral was one of the largest and
most impressive ever held in Seldo
via. All of the school children were
present and virtually all of those who
attended the services followed the
body to its place of final rest in spite
of a heavy downpouring of rain.
A term of the District Court will
convene in Fairbanks on January 5,
according to local reports.

COLD STORIOE FOIL KOOIAK
ISMOST ASSURED FACT
Indications that Kodiak is going
to get a cold storage plant has never
appeared better than at the present
time, remarked H. Grub, superinten
dent of the Standard Oil Company
plant at Kodiak, a guest at the Cham- j
her of Commerce luncheon at Fish* i
er’s cafe. W. J. Erskine, one of the
leading merchants of the progressive I
island community has been in Cali
fornia for some length and according
to advices received quite recently he
was preparing to depart for the East
where he expected the proposition
would be successfully climaxed. In
addition to the construction of a
i
large cold storage plant, Mr. Grub ;
said it was also learned upon good ;
authority that another large fish
dealing company were considering :
seriously of equipping a large barge
with cold storage facilities and send
i ing it north next spring.
TAKE IN THE DANCE
