DANCE GIVEN
10 DEPARIiNG
mpi
At a late hour yesterday after
ioom, too late for publication ill
:h» Daily Alaskan, it was decided
:o give a farewell dance in the Arc
;ic Brotherhood hall to a uuniber of
oldtimers in Skagway who are
leaving on the Princess Sophia to
aight for the States. Although the
iance was arranged for within a
ihort 'ime it was pronouueed this
a ru)L' by those who attended to
lave been one of the best given in
3<agway i:i a long time.
The music, which was furnished b
Dacar Seimer, P. H. Gauty, and Ed.
Waterman, seemed >o be inspired by
:he very spirit of Halloween, and
fvas full of many delightful trills
svhich put variety and pep into the
.'ances. Perhaps it was inspired by
box of candy which Mr. Ganty
iupDlied, but anyhow, a special
mle- of thanks was asked to be giv
?u the musicians for their fine iau
sic.
During the early part of the ev
?inns before the orchestra made its
<p;.earance music was furnished by
Diamond Disc Edison phonograph'
sunplied by Keller Bros.
One of the members of the coui
alttee having the dance in charge
suic* there was "lots of cold wat
er," but aside from that there
*ere no Halloween, drinks .

M. W. NOLAN, MANAGER OP AL
ASKA CORPORATIONS INTER
ESTS, savs this was their
BEST SEASON IN PORCUPINE
DISTRICT.
"Tbp men working for me this
year were the finest group one
would run across in ten years in
mining. They worked right up to
the close of th© seaeon on the
24<h day of October without a
complaint of any kind." This is
thn uraise Martin W. Nolan, manag
er of the Alaska Corporation's In
terests in Alaska and superintend
ent of *he Porcupine mining pro
perties, has for the crew of men
working for him this year in the
rorcupine country.
"This has been a very fine sea
em in the Porcupine and Rainy
Hollow districts," continued Mr.
Nolan, "and although I am not at
I loiorty to state the amount of gold
taken from the camp i will gay that
it has been our most succcssful year.
W« closed down the work in Porcu
jnine on OctoDer 24, but we may de
cide to put a, gang of men to do
drifting work in the creek during
the winter months."
Mr. Nolan, who is an experienced
hard rock miner, says this la onljr
hU second genson at hydraulic min
ing but that it just takes common
8°use to understand its principles.
Iii apptarance Mr. Nolan is tall,
with a vory pleasing personality.
Ho wears a small sandy colored
moustache which matches! perfectly
his smooth combed back hair of
the same color. He is leaving to
night on the Princess Sophia for
Seattle wjiere he will take charge
of his other interests, and says he
may come back to Alaska next
spring.
All -... I.. Hto
trict", Rainy Hollow and Porcupine,
looks exceedingly good. Mr. Nolan
predicts that the claims owned by
Tom Vogel will have their best
season next year.
'lhe copper properties in Rainy
IXollow are much better than first
thought. Two tunnels were sunk
into the mountain early in the
season which reached a 20 foot vein
of flornite ore assaying high in
value. Granby bay people and oth
ers from outside mining interests
»ri high in the praise of the whole
conutry.
In the Porcupine district Mr.
Nolan is known ag "Lucky Nolan,"
for during the whole summer's work
the weather has been exceptionally
fine and there has been no trouble
of any kind.
