SEWARD
(Valdez Miner)
The following story the author of
which is unknown, dealing with the
conditions in Alaska prior to the big
gold rush of ’98, was handed into the
Miner by an old resident of Valdez.
The killing of the storekeeper was a
matter of story in the early days of
Valdez, but the details given by the
writer, while probably correct, are not
personally known to the editor.
On or about February 15, 1888, Mr.
Holt, the agent for the Alaska Com
mercial company at Knik, was shot
and killed by an Indian by the name
of Nicolai, belonging to the Matanus
ka tribe of natives.
The cause of the shooting was a
dispute between Holt and the Indian
over some tobacco, known as “Sheep
Dip” or natural leaf. Nicolai was
urged to commit the deed by one of
the Knik tribe of Indians by the name
of Afinacie, for which killing he (Afi
nacie) paid Nicolai with plunder out
of the A. C. store.
The case was laid before Governor
Swineford, and he was asked by the
people of Cook inlet to take the mat
ter in hand. All the satisfaction they
could obtain from the governor was
that he did not have time to attend to |
the matter. P. L. Shell, A. R. Ryan |
and Dr. J. R. Ballou offered their serv- 1
ices free of charge to hand over the j
murderer to the authorities, but could j
not get them interested in the case, i
The native, Nicolai, being the son of
a medicine man, was greatly elated
by his dastardly act of murder, and
was greatly feared by the rest of his
tribe. He swaggered around the post
for some time following the murder,
and several times threatened to kill
Mr. Shell, who succeeded Mr. Holt as
I agent for the A. C. company at Knik.
Mr. Shell tried to explain to him the
enormity of the crime he had commit
f ted and that the officers of the law
| were liable to take hold of him at any
time, but he paid no attention to the
warning and continued to make
threats against the life of Mr. Shell.
Later Nicolai returned to his own j
domain on the Matanuska, but in the
winter of 1891 he came into Knik
with the avowed intention of killing
Mr. Shell. He came to the station
armed to the teeth, but Mr. Shell was
prepared for him, as he had a tower
built, 25 feet high, on the blockhouse
style, from which he took Nicolai by
surprise and justice was done the
Indian in real western style, but not
until after the law had been given
every opportunity to do justice.
Following the killing of Nicolai
there ensued 28 days of the most vig
ilant watching from the town while
the mercury stood at the freezing
point or lower. The few white men
were compelled to take turns keeping
a watch oh the natives to prevent them j
from surprising the whites and mur
dering all hands. Finally the tundra
broke and the Matanuska Indians
were compelled to fall back into their
own country.
The Indian Afinacie is still at large
and there has never been any attempt !
to apprehend him, although he is the !
one actually responsible for the com- i
mitting of the murder by Nicolai. !

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill Is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies with
a view of disposing of tlie property, to work rich stringers of pav ere
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
It is not a toy mill or a makeshift in any way hut a mill constructed
on .scientific principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
weight. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of 320 pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for each stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can be Increased very easily by placing- springs on the
stamp stems or the weight of tlie blow be increased witli additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir,
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is So constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces,
screens easily removed—the whole front and hack can be removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can he easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start your mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are O. !{. We can
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables,
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and this pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have sucli properties or if you wish further particulars.
I Yours truly,
H. J. DARCY, West Tacoma

IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.
