party has been mining there but they |
have kept the news to themselves.

Jumbo mine at Kennecott, fell from
the top of the stope in which he was j

ALASKA TOWN SELDOM
SEES A PREACHER
(Seward Gateway)
For the second time in IS years of
its existence the village of Hope,
where citizens say they endeavor to
live iiji to its name, was visited by a
missionary preacher recently. Hope
is a mining camp on the northern edge
of Ivenai peninsula, <>5 miles by trail
from Seward, the terminal of the new
United States railroad.
Harry C. Munro, missionary pastor
who has just returned from Hope,
j when he held four services, declares
that the village is populated by the
most enthusiastic and optimistic peo
ple under the American flag.
‘ There are 71 persons in Hope, in
cluding IS children, but not counting
11 who are out in the states on busi
ness,” said Mr. Munro. All these to
whom I talked declared Hope to be
j the best place they bad ever lived, and
' not one had plans of moving to any
other locality, regardless of the boom
in towns nearer the government rail
road.
“In spite of the fact that there is
no church there, and the only other
minister to visit them was a mission
ary from the Presbyterian board some
l three years ago, every family was
' supplied with a Bible and all expres
sed great interest in establishing a
i Sunday school.
“The new Sunday school probably
is one of the broadest in regard to
creed in the United States as it in
cludes children whose parents, prior
to coming to Hope, were affiliated
with Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist,
Congregationalist, Roman Catholic,
! Greek Catholic, and Episcopal church
! es.”
Hope is a gold mining camp found
ed by a stampede in 189(>, the year
! before the discovery of gold on the
Klondike. At one time it boasted a
population of 2,000. Most of the pres
' ent population has been there for ten
| years or more. Agricultural develop
■ ment of the available land about the
village has progressed to a great de
gree in recent years .
There is gold on all the creeks, in
spite of the fact that all of the "big
pay” was taken out in the years fol
lowing the first stampede, and it is!
apparent that development work on
quartz ledges from which the placer
deposit is originated may again make,
it a center of activity.

SI SCR AFFORD QUITS
ANTIMONY CAME FOR ROOD
FAIRFAXES, April 1.— H. I.. (Si)
Scraiford has i|Uti the antimony min
ing gamp for good. So ho stated to
people who recently arrived in Fair
banks from Seattle. Whether he means
it or not cannot be stated at this time,
but his friends think that the coining
summer will see Si back in Fairbanks
looking up a piece of ground on which
to start operations.
Mr. Strafford is the veteran anti
mony miner of interior Alaska. That
is, he was the first man to mine anti
mony in the vicinity of Fairbanks. He
is reported to have made big money
on his first operations from antimony
ore which he shipped to the outside
from here, but after antimony mining
became general the market became
overstocked, and as a result the bot
tom dropped out of prices.
Mr. Scrafford is now a mining brok
er, according to reports received here.
With a man named Jackson, who is
unknown here as far as can be learned,
he has opened offices in Seattle and is
engaged in handling mining properties
His offices are located in the Alaska
building.—Ex.
