DEATH OF MRS. HAZELET,
ACCOUNT FROM ALASKAN
( Continued from page 1)
years past Mrs. Hazelet has been
a leading spiril in the doing of
all those things that tended to
the happiness of the people and
the welfare of the town. Chari
table in thought and deed, and al
ways with a consideration for the
feelings of others, this modest
woman earned and held the re
spect and affection of all with
whom she came in contact, and
particularly so with those who
were among her intimat.'s and
realized the generosity of her
thoughts and acts.
"The two sons have been in the
interior learning practical mining
and milling, and are nbsenl in this
hour of lheir airiiclion. Calvin is
d«»ing placer mining on the Chis
na river in the Slate creek coun
try, about 1(50 miles from Chit
ina. He has been sent for, hul
will not be able to reach here un
til the latter part of Ih«> month.
.Craig has been at Kennecoll, and
is now nu his way out.
"The body of Mrs. Hazelel has
been embalmed ami when the sons
return it i» the intention of Mr.
Hazelel to take her back to their
old Tiome a O'Xeil, Nebraska, and
there lay her away beside her
mother and other deceased mem
bers of the family. Services will
be held at Cordova, so that those
who held her in such high regard
Will be enabled to pay their Inst
'respects.
"Mrs. Ila/.elel was born at Ju
neau. Wisconsin. \f> years ago.
It is 2 i years since her marriage
at O'Xeil, where h<»r father, A. T.
Poller, now resides at the ad-j
vanceil age of 82 years. Aflhouuh
Mr. Hazelel came to Alaska in
1808 i1 was not until 1003 that
his family came out to perma
nently reside. They removed from
Valdez to Cordova in 1008, when
Mr. Hazelel had the lown laid out
and shortly afterwards built his
comfortable h<*»?ne on the hill-1
shift."

Considerable Area Heretofore
Considered Unprofitable, Now
Brings Good Returns
Says (hi* Nome Nugget: Much
ground heretofore >fir*i un
workable al a profit, is now bring
ing in good returns. Consider
able aelive mining is being car
ried on I lie second beach-line in
Ibe vicinity of Jess creek. The
method in vogue is Dial of carry
ing up a drainage cut from the
sea, then ground-sluicitiK the ov
erlying waste which is from four
Jo ju feet in depth, and finally
box-sluicing the remaining three j
or four feet on bedrock. Unlike
other parts of the peninsula, this
region is blessed with an abun
dance of water which is supplied
by the Penny river ditch. Six j
mining outfits are scattered over
a distance of smiic three miles.
The lirst camp to the west of
Jess creek is thai of Forbes, Carl
lied and Andrew Heck who have
a lay on Mc<«ann's ground. They
have put through a cut from the
sea, and will soon be ready for
sluicing.
Next to the westward. M. Itavcii
kibler and Pete Sal her. who have
a lay on the ditch company's
ground, have ground-sluiced out
a large pit. Mr. Havenkihler has
charge of the night shift, while
Mr. Sal her looks after the work
in the daytime.
On the once famous 'French
bench the owners, McLaughlin,
Wright, Madson and Christensen,
have ground-sluiced a large area
and will in the near future start
box-sluicing. A large amount of
dust was extracted from this
claim some years ago, and the
owners are hoping that a goodly
quantity of the elusive still re
mains in he ground.
About a quarter of a mile west
of the French bench Roy Slump,
Mitchell, Arthur Johnson and Bar
aieyr Wilson are working a lay on
('.old Bug No. 2.
Still further west Captain Nel
son, Axel Widlund and Anders An
derson are working on Nelson's
ground. They are at present work
ing on «i piece of ditch, but \|ill
so-in be ready for active mining.
To t|je east of Jess creek Mall
Anderson. Drake and Winnie are
putting in a drainage ditch from
lh.» «ca. Still further east Mc
f«an;i is doing some ditch work
with a \ iew of getting water on
the ground.
Ninety miles of intermediate
and deep-sea cable has been or
dered by the government for the
improvement of the Alaska ser
vice.
