—Water rabbit may oe water rabbit
to patrons of New York restaurants,
but it’s plain muskrat to old trappers
here, where it has long been consid
ered a great delicacy.
“I used to throw the carcasses
away by the hundreds,” says Milton
Holden, a trapper, “but now I wish I
ha$ them. There’s no cleaner ani
mal—t—he yeat only roots.”
Holden cleared .“5200 in one day and
William Dill, another trapper, cleared
§2,200 in four months from trapping.

ENGINEER CREEK
WHITWORTH ACQUIRES POSSES
SION OF VALUABLE GROUND
FOR LARGE SUM
By virtue of a final payment made
on March 30, Alaska Whitworth, Ltd.,
became the owners of the mining
property on Engineer creek formerly
owned by Mrs. Dora Williams and A.
A. Everman, reports to Fairbanks
News-Miner. Alaska Whitworth, Ltd.,
is headed by G. Lionel Whitworth,
prominent English capitalist, who has
already made large investments in the
Interior. Mrs. Williams and Ever
man were the owners of the Wild
1 |
Goose and O. K. associations. The
ground was to be operated on a roy
alty basis. It was the understanding
1
hat a dredge was to be placed on the
ground by April 1, 1927, and an agree
ment was made with Mrs. Williams
and Everman that if the dredge had
not been installed at the time speci
fied the ground could be purchased
outright.
In this !e:uve agreement the par-!
ties who made the sale and the own- ;
ers of the Wild Goose and O. K. as- |
sociaiionS grouped their ground to
• . |
gether. Those * interested in the as- ;
sociatioris mentioned are: Charles;
L. Thompson. Luther Hess, Mrs, Min
nie Geis, A1 Morency, hi. E.-Stevens;
and the First National bank. |
Mrs. Williams and her son owned!
i
12 claims comprising the Owl and j
Cagle ‘ associations. Everman had
the Engineer creek anil Engineer!
bench associations.
An advance royalty payment was i i
made in the fall of 1925 to all those | 1
whose property was under lease.
In January of this year Mr. Whit-1 J
worth entered into negotiations to buy j
the ground and on March 22 the first 1
payment was made, and eight days
tater the second and last.
Mrs. Williams and Everman each
received $50,000 for their property.
Included in this sum is 810,000 paid to
each as advance royalty in 1925.
Mrs. Williams, who has been in the
States for about a year, was repre-1
sented here by Capt. J. M. Cunning
ham. She is expected to leave Port
land, Or., in time to arrive here dur- ■
ing the early part of May.
INCREASED ARMY IS ;
FOUND TO BE CHEAPER j
WASHINGTON, April 19. (/P)—The J
Department of War, estimates that !
to discharge 31,000 men, which at J
first seemed imparative because of -
the failure of the second deficiency
bill to pass, would cost $5,497,240 ,
whereas if the Army is increased to
115,000 as was originally planned,
there will be a deficit of only $2,697,
859. The cost of discharging 31,000
men is due to the fact that they must
all be given transportation home and
also are given a final clothing allow
ance. Moreover, when the new fiscal
year begins on July 1, and the Army
will have funds for 115,000 men, it
will then be necessary to recruit
more than 30,000 men so that the
total cost of discharge and reinlist
ment amounts to nearly five and one
half million dollars.
