VOLCANIC ASH
RUSTS TOOLS
Hundreds of Miles From Scene of
Disturbance Smoke Plain
ly Visible
As a result of the recent vol
canic eruptions over on the coast
Ihe residents of theTenderfoot and
Banner creek countries up the
Tanana 75 miles, found their
tools, knives and forks and all
metal utensils suddenly rusted,
where Ihe rains came a few days
later. And this, whether the met
al was exposed to the water or not.
This they attribute to the sul
phur in the air.
From the head of Democrat
Pup, a tributary of Banner civek
on Ihe south side of Tanana, the
smoke of the eruptions was plain
ly visible, particularly in the
morning when the air was clear
and cold, so reports A. I,. Kiev
icsz, tin' mining man.
l-ike others of the interior,
when the sounds of Ihe eruptions
were heard MIO miles away, the
people around Banner creek were
mystified for a lime. They finally
concluded that the road commis
sion had a crew out blasting a
roadway to relieve I hem <» f the
hardship they have bei»n put to
because of a lack of a highway. *
A few days later, however, when
they went down to Utile Delta
another «*\planaliou appeared; the
resident* of ihe roadlmuse being
of Ihe opinion that the glaciers
ir. the Alaska range were break
ing up with a mighty roaring.
Mr. Kievicsz reports that since
the heavy rains of the past week
the streams are .*^1 torrents and!
it is almost impossible to get!
down from Banner creek without
swimming or climbing trees.
No one is working on Democrat
Pup this season in the sense of
taking out. pay, but Mr. Kiovicsz
and partner are building a two
mile ditch from the head of Ban
ner creek, which will give them
water under a 200-foot pressure
for hydraulicking, and with this
they expect to tear open the shal
low pay gravels of Democrat be
fore Ihe summer is past.

CREDITORS WANT
THEIR MONEY
Allege They Received No Share of
the Dividends Paid In Wash
Ington-Alaska Bank
In (he Washington-Alaska bank
case, A. R. Heilig, attorney for the
Dexter Uorton National bank, of
Seattle, has filed a petition ask
ing for payment of dividends, al
leged to be due the bank. The pe
tition recites that on May 18, 1912,
the receiver of the bank, F. G.
Noyes, advised the Seattle con
cern that their claim had been al
lowed and approved, the amount
being stated at $120,465.02. It is
alleged that three dividends, each
amounting to 10 2-3 per cent, of
the deposits, have ben paid to
those depositors who were unse
cured. The Dexter Horton bank,
holding collateral security, has
not been paid. This security, it is
alleged iii the petition, is without
value, for the Seattle firm has
been unable to realize on it.
For that reason an firder of the
court is asked directing the re
eeiver to pay the following sums
to the Dexter Horton National
bank before payments are made
to any oilier depositors: $21,
557.00, with interest from Janu
ary «.», toil; 821,577.0ft, with in
leresl from April 8. 1011, and
•S21.577.0ft, with interest from
November 7, 1011.
