The search for the body of Lineman
Rasmusson, which was buried by a
snowslide recently near Juneau, has
been abandoned, all efforts to locate
the body having failed. Later another
attempt will be made to find the re
mains.
Acting Mayor Claude Erickson of
Juneau has wired Secretary of the
Navy Daniels asking a naval vessel be
i assigned to visit Alaska during the
| summer and participate in the cele
! bration of the semi-centennial of the
purchase of Alaska.
The officials of the Juneau Land of
fice have rendered a decision in the
adverse claims of George Perry and
Joseph Weyerhorst over mining claims
on Douglas island. The decision holds
that Weyerhorst had made no discov
ery of mineral in place, and affirmed
the land to Perry.
The 5-year-old daughter ofg Antone
Courda, of Douglas, playing with
sticks in the fire set the bedclothing
on fire. She ran to a neighbor’s and
told that her little sister was crying
because the smoke was so thick. The

McDonald & Rapp are having a hy
draulic outfit freighted from Chitina
, to Canyon creek, about 20 miles from
Mier’s roadhouse where they will op
erate this summer on a group of
claims owned by Mierr. Prospecting
done last summer on this ground in
dicate that it will prove a very profit
able venture.
Eric Boden arrived in Fairbanks re
cently with some gold from the ground
he is working on St. Patrick creek,
where he has recently struck pay. The
dirt taken out so far runs about 25
.cents per pan, and they have cross
cut about 45 feet, finding uniform pay
the entire distance. They expect to
take out a big dump this winter.
Chief Roodlataw of the Copper Riv
er Indians, while visiting in Chitina
recently, was persuaded to try some
Limburger cheese, with which some of
his white acquaintances were regaling
themselves. What he said after taking
his first bite was in pretty good Eng
lish all right, but would no.t look well
in print.
The suggestion is again being
brought up in Juneau that Alaska
might have a baseball league of its
own, and that division be pitted
against division in the finals for the
championship. There is some splen
did baseball material in the terri
tory and it is believed such a league
would prove a success.
Wolves in the vicijiity of Katalla
are increasing rapidly, one pack re
cently being encountered numbering
40. Nels Larsen, a trapper, was com
pletely surrounded by the animals, and
being without a gun, was forced to
take refuge in a deserted cabin. All
the ptarmigan and even the porcupine
have been either devoured or driven
from the vicinity.
Wrapping a piece of cheese cloth
about his face and neck to protect
him from the stinging blasts of the
Taku wind, Elmer Peters, an employee
of the Treadwell company went to oil
the pumps near the Treadwell dock.
As the work required but a few min

his knife to cut the cloth but before
accomplishing this he fainted. When
he came to he was lying on the floor,
the rapidly revolving shaft having
worn the cloth in two. He was un
conscious about 16 minutes.
Mail Carrier Henry Robinson has
sworn vengeance upon the dogs of
Ruby and threatens to shoot on sight.
He arrived in Ruby recently with the
mail when one of the stray curs at
tacked the leader of his team, with the
result that the team pursued the ani
mal and slammed the gee pole of the
sled through a 48x72 plate glass win
dow which cost Robinson $80 in hard
cash.
Baby Enstrom, the three-year-old
daughter of John Enstrom, of Seward,
is slowly recovering the use of its
limbs after an injury last week which
threatened to result in complete par
alysis. The tot toddled out to a place
quite a distance from the cabin where
its father was cutting down a small
spruce tree and was struck. Enstrom
did not know his daughter was near
until too late. At first the child could
not move, but has since regained the
use of all its body except one leg.
