Lost Rocker Mine
Is Re-Discovered
The Petersburg Report which ar
rived in Juneau on the mail boat
recently contains the following:
The famous "Lost Rocker" placer
gold claim, for w.:icb prospectors
have been searchir.s for the past 30
years, has been rediscovered and lo
cated by J. t". G. Morrison on the
headwaters of Farragut river at Far
ragut bay about 30 miles from Pet
ersburg. Mr. Morrison has located
eight claims and next season will
start the work of actively develop
ing them.
When seen this week on his re- j
turn from the claims Mr. Morrison ]
said that he has found and rebuilt
the old stone cabin left by the orig
inal discoverers and also the old
rocker which they used in extract
ing their gold. The old dam built
of yellow cedar in n side creek to
furnish water for their rocker was
also found and Mr. Morrison brought
back pictures to prove his assertion.

The claims are located at a point
on Farragut river about 13 miles
above t.de water on me north fork
of the river and about eight miles
below the lakes at tne head of the
river. They are located along the
river through a series of canyons and
pot holes worn out by the glacier as
It receeded years ago and which are
now filled with gravel, sand, boul
ders and residue left by the glacier
and river.
Mr. Morrison has round colors In
many places from the grass roots to
a depth of five feet, as far as he was
able to reach In the limited time in
which he was able to prospect, and
also found coarse gold around the
base of the boulders in the canyons.
Hist my of Claim.
The history of the 1-ost Rocker is
one of interest ana one which has
fin>d the imagination or miners and
prospectors of this section for years.
About thirty years rpo, according
to the legend a white man was found
drifting about in Frederick Sound
between Cape Fanshaw and Juneau
in an Indian canoe. He was nearly
starved. nearly crazy and had with
him one of two sacks of coarse gold.
He w-as taken to town and cared
for but would never return to the
place wl:ere he secured the treasure,
seemingly having a horror of the
place too powerful to overcome. Ac
cording to his story, himself and two
others has been mining on a river
some distance from the beach and at
the edge of a half-moon lake at the
mouth of a small side stream had
discovered rich golj deposits.
They built a dam in the side creek
to secure water, built a crude rocker
and stone cabin and had then wash
ed out considerable of the precious
metal. Returning to camp one day
this man had found ms two compan
ions murdered, seemingly by Indians.
He had taken the treasure and fled
over the mountains, crossing three
ranges, and had come out at tide
waier at a small Indian village or
seulement. During the night he
hud stolen a canoe and had managed
to make his escape and drifted about
until picked up.
Since that time, rrom the early
days until as late as last year, par
ties of prospectors and single men
have been seaichlng for the lost
claim.
CHEMAWA WRECKED
OX ANNETTE ISLAND;
OWNER I.OSE.i t.lFE
Over one hundred persons left
Metlakatla recently to search for the
fo- the body of George Hall, native,
60 years of age, resident of Metla
ka'la, who left there Friday, Octo
ber 20, on the Chemawa to tow logs,
and the broken hull of whose boa!
was found yesterday half wav be
tween Ketchikan and Metlakatla, on
the beach of Annette Island by tSeve
Jais, who was in a row boat. Fifteen
minutes after they arrived there, at |
10:30 o'clock, the body was fouud
in 12 feet of wate rmidway between
the two fiish traps belonging to the
Annette Island Packing Company.
There has been some very stormy
weather since Hall left Metlakatla
and, when he did not return, his
friends there feared that his boat
been wrecked and that he had been
unable to reach the shore. The shore
of Annette Island was searched for
miles yesterday before the waters
were dragged near where the hull
was found.

Clain Oil Indicated
ByGypsumDeposit
The discovery of a deposit of gyp
sum In proximity to carboniferous
shales supplies another important!
link In the chain of evidences sup
porting the presence of oil some
where in the Anchorage district.The i
gypsum, together with samples of
asbestos, was brought to the city by
Alex Lleka. Both specimens are of
exceptional purity.
Leading geologists aro agreed that
gypsum is co-related to oil and it is'
found in proximity to all productive
oil fields. Many authorities are
agreed that it is a residue of oil con
sisting of calcareous sediments crys
tallized through distillation, or in
laymen's terms, the remains of shell
life after the soluble matter as ex
pressed in cretacoa was converted to
oil.
The extent of the gypsumdeposit
is not known, but it is reported to
be of appreciable dimensions. It
was found In conjunction with the
shales some distance from the pres
ence of coal deposits, indicating that
these shales have not been fused and
metamorphosed and may contain the
solution of the oil question.
The specimens have been donated
to the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce and the Fairbanks School of
Mines.
Gypsum Is valuable chiefly for
stucco work, such as plastering, and
is substituted for marble after being
ground and mixed. — Anchorage

A. E. C. LETS CONTRACTS FOR
SIXTY THOUSAND TONS COAL
H. P. Warren, general storekeep
er, advises the Anchorage Times that
the Alaska Engineering commission
has awarded contracts for approxi
mately sixty thousand tons of bi
tuminous coal and lignite coal to be
delivered by July 1st, 1923. The
contracts awarded are distributed
as follows: Bituminous coal, Evan
Jones 30,000 tons. Baxter and Be
dell 15,000 tons and Bruno Augus
tino 5.000 tons. The Healy River
Coal company was given the con
tract for the delivery of 10,000 tons
of lignite coal and it Is possible that
one or two more companies will re
ceive small orders. The Evan Jones
company and Healy river company
are prepared to deliver coal immed
iately.
Investigates Infant
Death Rate In U.S.
A study made by the U. S. De
partment of Labor through the
Children's Bureau, the report of
which Is made public today, has
shown a close relation between or
ganized Infant welfare work nnd a
striking reduction In the number of
infant deaths in New Zealand. The
New Zealand infant mortality rate
is lower than that of any country
in the world; for 1919 the number
of deaths of Infants under one year
of age was only 4u to every 1,000
live births, as compared with ?? in
the United States birth registration
area. The results of the study, pub
lished under thj title. "Infant Mor
tality and Preventive Work In New
Zealand," are of special tyterest on
account of the present nation-wide
effort under the Shcppard-Townar
act to reduce infant mortality In the
United States.
The significance of the report lies
in its indication that while moderate
climate, racial honiogenoity, high
economic and intellectual level, gcoil
housing, and other conditions help
to explain New Zealand's low rale
they do not account for the pro
nounced decrease in the rate in thej
last 50 years, since during this per-}
iod improvements Vn these cor.di-'
tioiiB either did not occur or were
not pronounced. The reduction has
been especially marked for the past
10 to 15 years, through a lessoning
of the number of deaths from gast
ric and intestinal and from respira
tory diseases—those occurring with !
greatest frequency In the months,
respectively, of highest and lowest I
temporatures.
