tention to make a trip to Alaska and i
the scene of his early church work, i
Father Althoff was the first priest,
to enter Alaska, being sent there i
shortly after his arrival from Hol
land. This was in 1878, when Alas
ka was Indian territory and but thin
ly populated with whites; when law
and order were unknown and life a,
rough and ready business. It was i
Father Althoff who founded the first,
hospital in Alaska, taking in the first;
sisters of the church in 1886 and es- j
tablishing the institution at Juneau,
which in those days did not exist asi
a city but was merely a collection of |
cabins in the mountain side. For 17 ,
years he carried on his work among
the miners and Indians, returning to |
Victoria in 1895 just before the great!
gold rush began and Alaska sprang i
into prominence.
It is therefore with great eager
ness that Father Althoff looks for
ward to making the trip to his,first
parish and in anticipation of this he
has collected a number of old photo
graphs taken during ris pastorate and
showing the country in pre-rush days,
which he will take with him in the
event of his finding it possible to make
the trip, when he reaches Seattle.’

IT TREADWELL
TREADWELL, April 25.—There
have been no additional subsidences
of earth in the danger zone adjacent
to Ijie cave-in near the 700 mill which
occurred last Saturday night, flood
ing the three mines.
The twelve families living in the
cottages near the old Treadwell school
house have moved out as a precau
tion taken in view of air bubbles no
ticed on the north side of the foun
dry. They have taken residences in
Douglas.
Special ferries are running between
treadwell and the Ready Bullion to
accommodate tJio.se living south of
the cave-in. Blanked walks along the
tracks are being built today to accom
modate the residents on the south
side.
There is no trouble at all in the :
Ready Bullion minp and operations <
are being carried on with the various
shifts as formerly. One hundred and
fifty men are now employed.
Information has been received)
from President F. W. Bradley that !
the associated companies hoped to
continue operations in the flooded
mines by building if possible a coffer-;
dam, then pumping the water out and
securing the 5,000,000 tons of ore
blocked out.
Confidence Restored.
DOUGLAS, April 25.—Each day)
now witnesses a further restoration :
of confidence in the future of the isl-.
and. While many have their worldly !
possessions packed and will leave:
tojvn on the first opportunity, those |
going are mostly single men and
nine-tenths are foreigners, the Balkan '
states being largely represented. One!
man on his way to the wharf with a !
suit case and umbrella yesterday was
asked where he was going and Iris
reply was: “1 not know whedder I
go north or south. 1 taka de first
boat she come along.”
It has been given out by the Tread
well company that there will be work
for all who "stick around” for a few
days.

SCRVEY 'BOATS
PATTERSON AND
EXPLORER COMING j
_ 1
(Ketchikan Progressive)
Contrary to expectation due to the
war excitement when every govern
ment boat \vas expected to take part
in the protection of the coast, the gov
ernment survey boats, Patterson and |
Explorer are reported to be taking on j
supplies at Seattle for their trip nortn I
for the purpose of continuing the worx j
of charting the thousands of miles of.
northern coast line along which there j
yet remains many reefs hidden by the j
waves a menace to navigation.
The Alaska coast in past years has;
been the graveyard for many fine ves
sels and even for human lives, and
only by persistent work by the ves
sels of the United States coast geo
detic survey have the inlets and off
shore of southern and western Alas
ka been made comparatively safe for
the many vessels that are now being
routed north from Seattle, Tacoma,
and Vancouver with supplies for the
mines, the salmon fisheries and the
railroad building undertaken by Un
cle Sam.
Lack of a sufficient appropriation
keeps the survey boats idle in the'
winter, but the officials in charge of j
the survey work undertake to make i
the most of the part of the year dur
ing which the boats are in service as
they .realize the great danger to the
development of the northern country
if reefs and rocks remain anywhere
uncharted south of Bering straits.

Matanuska Reindeer
Ranching Co.
Will Bring Herd to Nelchina.
Only a few years ago the western part of the United States was
the home of the cattle rancher, anti vast areas were used exclusively
for this paying industry, but soon the sheep herder began to crowd in
on the rancher and they were followed by the diversified farmer.
During thi6 period as always the rancher has been making money,
and this business has made more millions than any other single in
dustry of North America; this was the case even when the avcrug'
price of a four-year-old steer was around $20 and feed and shelter
had to be provided for them during some of the winter months; if
under these conditions cattle ranching was a paying investment, how
much more so must the reindeer be here now, for what cattle was
to the rancher of the west in those days the reindeer is to Alaska
now, and presents the same opening with the advantage as shown
by government experience of not having to be fed or sheltered in win
ter, as these hardy animals have shown themselves to be self-sustain
ing. and will bring 100 per cent more than the average steer of those
days, as the average reindeer would realize here today forty dollars,
the cost of herding is small as two herders can look after 500.
The Directors of the Matanuska Reindeer Ranching Co. have t er
tided to bring a herd of reindeer to their Nelchina range, which is
conceded to be one of the very best reindeer ranges in America, anti
wishing to have the herd as large as possible, as the cost of bringing
in a large herd would be much the same as a small one, and also
wishing to get this delicious food product on the local market as
soon as possible, decided to sell some company stock, as this will
enable them to bring in a larger herd.
Call at our oflice, corner 4th anti C Streets, and be one of the
original promoters of this paying proposition which means so much to
Anchorage and vicinity, and is one of the greatest steps towards
Alaska becoming self-supporting. Should you not have time to call,
