DEATH OF
SCHWEITZER
Herman Schweitzer died at the post
hospital at Fort (iibbon early Saturday
morning. Ik- had been at the hospital
several weeks suffering from cancer of
the intestines, and it was known that
he was beyond hope of recovery.
For several years lie had been ailing
more or less, and it is probable that the
fatal disease had its beginning a long
while ago.
Mr. Schweitzer was born at Obersalz
brunn, tiermany, about 4"> years ago
Wilhelm Schweitzer, a brother, lives at
that place. There is a married sister in
Seattle.
The deceased bad lived at Rampart
since 190:1 and was a well-known and
respected citizen. He first came to
Haw.-on in kstis, and had lived in the
north m arly ever since.
Levd Headed on the Mail Question.
A letter dated Rampart, April L’, was
mailed at Hot Springs April 7 and was
received in Fairbanks April 111. An
swered the loth postmarked Fairbanks
the ltith), addressed to Hot Springs, the
reply was brought across country and
was in Rampart the tlntli.
Mail arriving at Fairbanks April 14
was hut six and a 1. .If days from Valdez.
These are simp • facts illustrating
Major (.Turn's lev. i headed ness on the
until question.

hittlc Minook commenced last week:
the first we heard of. The aggregate
vield from winter dumps will not be
