I.TMK deposit on main line
A limestone deposit has been dis
covered about 700 feet [from the
Government railroad line where it
croauc» Little Rabbit Creek, near
Mil® 102. [The deposit is exposed
in the aide of a low hill, about 300
.feet from the bank of the creek.
The [discovery wais made by S. F.
and C. R. Rhodes, of Anchorage,
who have [commenced mining the
product and have erected a kiln of
ten tons' capacity for t burning the
stone. An analysis of tliQ product
made t>y an assayer at Seward, ;is
as follows: >
lotaolubi* ailidous matter — not

Ferris and aluminum oxide —

( Calcium oxide (quick lime) —
94.68 per cent, or 67.62 per cent of

The owners are arranging to sell
the product for |3.76 per barrel,
which 's approximately the present
freight rate on lime from j the
States. A sample tested by the
Commission shows It to be [suitable
for building purposes. The Com

bust gray haired man. His very per-1
son typifies the strength of Al
aska's mountains. He is bald with 1
the exception of a silver gray fringe
of hair surrounding the back of
his head. His gray beard is in
contrast to the bronzed yet kindly
face, and hfs features typify a gen
erous solrit which must have given
heart to the many discouraged for
tune hunters of '97.
Mr. Brackett first came to Skag
way in IS97 and constructed the
White Pass trail, or better known i
as the ! Brackett road, leading
from Skagway to I<ake .Bennett. On |
the old 16th street bridge, which
lately has been turned back to H.;
D. Clark I and Cha^. Nye, Mr.
Brackett constructed a toll gate, ,
and he gays that more than 25,000 j
men an<! women must have D&ssed ,
through that gate during the;
rush. The failure of the aeriel 1
'ram on the Chilcoot trail turned
more travel over the White Pass,
and t1»at began to spell success for
♦he Brackett road, which later was
sold -o tne W. P. Route.
After leaving Skagwayj nr. aracs
ett went 'o the Atlin oounrty where
be did considerable mini up and
later sold bis Interests to the Gug
genheims. 'While searching for j
gold j he found a pocket of nuggets
around *he base of a large bould-1
er, ^he value beinc worth $1000; i
other and more experienced men bad
said "there isno gold there."
Mr, Brackett vas in this couutTy '
about seven years, and since then
has made his home in Minneapolis, j
.While living in Skagway Mr.
Bracke'i w^|the host for several |
senatorial parties and government:
men, baring,entertained Vice-Presi
dent) Fairbanks, Senators Nelson
and Beverldge. A party; of senators
came to Skagwaj in the interests of
a boouda-ry dispute between .Can
ada aid tbe United States, and
while hpxe Mr. Brackett was, influ- /
entiaijin aiding in an amicable set- J
tlemem*.
Mr.[Brackett is somewhat hesitant
about j telling o£ tbe many adven
tures of the days, but it is
known .that he had considerable to
do with the round-up of the Soapy
Smithjgang and that he was a mem
ber of [the Vigilance committee
which me* at the Pacific Coast
wharf on the day of Soapy's death.
One incident which Mr. Bracket!
vividly remembers is the time when
Skagway was stalled with;traffic
await'ng to get over the Brackett
road. Horses were numerous and
at one time more than 3000 horses
were dead ia Skagway as a result
of hard treatment, lack of feed,
and abuse. |_ [ '
Mis. M. M. Braekett, daughter of
Georce Bracket, took part in the
funeral ol Frank Reid, the marshal,
•who wy killed by Soapy Smith, by
singing at his grave.
"When liring in Skagway the Bra ft
c-tts owue^i the homo now used by
