complaining of sickness and working
right up to the last minute, accord

Mr. Salisbury arrived in Seward
from Nome about 1912 and became

Mining operations considerably
larger than that section has seen in
some time are planned for next year
at Bluff by \V. It. Bucjunaster and
son. as a result of prospecting and
mining operations conducted by them
during .the past open season. In
addition to doing considerable pros
pecting between Golden. Daniels and
Eldorado Creeks, the Buckmaster’a
mined what is known as the “One
Day" claim, located a short distance
east of Bluff and about one mile west
of Swede Creek. Ground sluicing
and shoveling in operations were
conducted with results which are
said to have been very satisfactory
and led to the decision to operate on
a large scale next year. The ground
is about fifteen feet deep and an am
ple supply of water is available.
The Buckmaster’a departed for the
Outside on the Victoria.
Paddy McGrath is also said to have
mined with very good results on El
dorado Creek about one mile west
of the Buckmaster operations . Mc

agents of Jafet Lindeberg took op
tions on practically all the herds of
reindeer in the Kuskokwim Valley
and paid for them with checks on
the bank, since defunct. Many thous
ands of dollars worth of these checks
were accepted by the traders and
were later sent to Seattle for col
lection . Many checks were also sent
by the traders to the Seattle whole
sale houses fo> goods The result
has been that a number of shipments
are being held up. The reindeer
were rebranded and Liudeberg's
agent is in the mountains in posses

PISEDH’TED TIME OF TIDES
(By John A. Wilson)
Following is the table of tide pre
dictions for
Low water
the coming week.
Date Low Wat9r
Oct. 23 1:14 p. m.
Oct. 24 1:48 p. m.
Oct. 25 2:23 p. m.
Oct. 26 2:55 p. in.
Oct. 27 3:20 p. m.
Date High water
Oct. 28 9:05 a. m.
Oct. 28 11:30 p. m.
Oct. 29 10:30 a. m.
The predicted times of high and
low water will not always correspond
with ‘he actual occurence of the tides,
as the water levels are often more de
pendent on wind than tide. For this
reason no accurate prediction of tlifc
height of water at high or low tide can
begiven. The extreme tidal range Is
2.8 ft., and the range between Mean
Lower Low Water and Mean Higher
High Water is 1.4 ft. All water
levels are referred to Mean Lower Low
Water. The monument in the ex
treme southwest corner of Barrack
Square is 14 ft. above this datum.
During the storm of 1913 the water
rose to 14 ft. above M. L. L. W.. and
with northerly winds in. the fall It
has been 4 ft. below this datum.’*
