Sheep growing as an industry Tor
the Yukon offers flattering possibili
ties,'according to F. X. I-aderoule,
of Kirkman. who is in town. Mr.
Laderoute has been ranching at
Kirkman for several yeuis, nid has
been paying particular attention the
last two years to an experiment in
raising sheep on his ranch. Jle
states that he is so jv»II pleased with
the experiment that is v.oing oat
side to get more sheep ur.d will re
turn with a new band next yet.r. lie
desires to spend the next v. inter
with his family, in the prairie prov
inces. Mr. Laderouie ways: •
"1 consider sheep raisins oee ef
ilie most attractive or ird.istries fur
this region. The ranchers o; Yukon j
have learned to raise hot-.i -»nd aie
setting oil well in inlrodurii;-: catile.
tutd there is no reason they coi'M
not bring in sheep *ind r iise herds
here sufficient to supply all the mut
ton needed in the region.
"I brought in my 5rs; sheep two
Sears ago. and now ar» disposit.g of
my whole band or six. It is a
small band, but ihe.'e has been a
good increase since 1 brought in my
uriginal sheep, and ir. the mean
time I have carried somo of tne:n
through two winters, thus making a
thorough test of the adaptability of
the animals to the Vukon winters.
I kept them in thj barn during the
nights in coldest weather, Mil' let
them out to raigo each day. tmd
they were out pradically .11 day

The Kico claim, located on the fa

At present there are 1.500 tons of
ore on the bank of the Stewart

Special Legion Edition of
Chronicle to Be a "Hummer"
Legionalres Turn Journalists and
Are Preparing An Alaska
Booster Edition for July
Fourth.
The Ketchikan Legionaires have
turned journalists. In this line of
activity they are now busying them
selves in preparing what they hope
to ho the biggest boost for Ketchikan
and Alaska ever attempted—a spec
.al Fourth of July edition of the
Ketchikan Alaska Chronicle.
The Legion extra will contain fea
ture stories of Alaska, describing its I
great resources, its beauty and its
history. Material already gathered .
indicates that these articles will con
tain more reliable information in a J
condensed and interesting form than
can be gathered from the reading of
many books.
Special stress is being laid on the
resources, the industrial opportuni
ties and the various industries and
activities in and about Ketchikan.
These articles are being prepared by
some of the leading men in the city.
Plans already formulated call for
many other additional features a cir
culation campaign to give the paper
a wide circulation in the states, cor
recting some of the misleading ideas
people there have as to Alaska being
a land "nearly wholly glaciated, cov
ered the year around with snow and
ice." This campaign will be in the
that four years ago Ed Cox took
samples from a ledge on the island
but never had them assayed. He
kept them in his cabin in Juneau un
till last winter when he invited Mr.
Baker to look them over. An assay
was proposed and the rock was
found to sum $S2 a ton in gold and
7 ounces in silver.
Girdwood is experiencing a small
sized boom on account of the recent
mluing activity in the Girdwood
quartz and placer district. Among
other companies developing and pre
paring to operate extensively this
season are the Gold Jewel Mining
company and the Denhart syndicate.
F. II. Whitney, ofthe Gold Jewel
Mining Company, recently sent in
a 25-ton stamp mill which will be
installed for immediate use.
Louis Bouvette. discoverer of
Keno Hill, in the Mayo_ district, re
ports silver ore running $SOO to the
Ion in a 40-foot shaft on Nabob Hill
near Keno. Float rock, in pieces as
large as S00 pounds, containing al
most solid silver-lead has been found
on the surface of his new property.
Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Sutherland
have left Fairbanks for the Kan
tishna district, traveling by way of
the river route with their gasoline
launch, the Siwash. The doctor will
spend the summer in the Kanttshna
country, where he. with several of
the mining men of this camp are
interested in mining. The firm,
of which he is a member, is known
as the Kantishna Hydraulic Mining
Co.. and according to present plans
considerable activity will take place
on the holdings this season. A hy
draulic plant was shipped in last
summer, but only reached Tolovana,
owing lo the early close of naviga
tion. This machinery will be trans
ported to the scene of the mining
and installed at an early date.
The Consolidated Gold Mines Co.,
has recently purchased the Talkeetna
property and is preparing to begin
summer operations in the near fu
ture. A small crew of men is now
engaged in preparing the mines for
operation and they expect to have
the mill operating within the next
ten days. Later in the season the
company plans to enlarge its work
ing crew considerably.
An important mining deal has re
cently been consummated for the
famous Crow Creek Mining Co.'s
ground in tbe vicinity of Gird
wood. By the deal Paul Denhart,
well-known operator aud an old-time
Alaskan, and associates have taken
over the property and will operate
extensively this season. Mr. Den
hart will act as manager and expects
to work about 15 men this season.
The work of repairing the ditches
and other preliminaries is well un
der way and Mr. Denhart advises
! that he plans to start sluicing about
the first of August. Three giants
will be used in the placer opera
tions. Mr. Denhart, who spent sev
eral weeks on the property before
Mminc to Anchorage, expresses him
^ successful season.
pleased with the pros
hands of R. R. Spoeih, circulation
manager, under whose direction a
house to house canvass will he made,
to secure addresses for outsida dis
tribution.
The advertising department is in
charge of Walter J. Hitchcock, ad
vertising manager, whose staff in
cludes: "Red" Norris, Edwin L. El
liott, EUlon J. Daly, Philip M. Elliott
'Cy" Collins, Will H. Winston and
Alfred Thibodeau. More than five
pages of advertising has already been
allotted.
The editorial work Is in chnrge of
Emery F. Tobin and his associate
editors. Philip M. Elliott, Geo. S.
Talbot, and Laurence M. Wescott,
of the Legion, and President Mrs. J.
A. Talbot, Sr., and Mrs. Floyd Max
well of the Women's Auxiliary, who
will edit an Auxiliary page. Com
mander Fred A. Stocking, Sr., is
acting generally on all committees
j'lid Ralph Bartholomew is treas
urer.
Present plans call for a 16 page
paper, but in view of the amount of
material and advertising in sight the
idea of making it a 24-page issue is
being discussed. The Legion pro
poses to make an t>ven greater suc-j
cess as newspaper men than as att-1
ors, if possible, and plan to exceed!
its reputation gained in other such
activities.
The special edition is issued as a
part of the Legion campaign to se
cure "$1,000 by July 4th" for its
building fund. The entertainment
committee is planning another fea

Seattle.—Alaska may have a fav
ored son as the next United States
senator-elect from the state of Wash
ington.
The young republicans of King
county are now planning on filing
the name of a Seattle republican in
the 1922 primary against utiles
Poindexter, and it is possible Win. j
A Gilmore will be the choice of
King county republicans.
There has been talk of Judge Mc
intosh as a suitable candidate, but
is is rumored the Poindexter or
ganization has arranged to place Mc-1
Intosh on the federal bench, elimi
nating hint from the senatorial con
test.
William A. Gilmore was a formor
Nome attorney, and ran against
Wickersham as the republican organ
ization candidate in the Alaska dele
gate race of 1912. He is from a
prominent California family and has
lived in the state of Washington for
51 years. He was educated in the
Seattle public schools and has of
fices in the Central building. He
was among the active Wood sup
porters in the state of Washington
last year, and wau a delegate to
the Chicago convention.
It is believed Gilmore could make
a strong showing in the state pri
mary for United States senator, as
he has strength amsng the service
men, as well as the labor and farmer
voters. He would be supported by
thousands of former Alaskans scat
tered over the state of Washington.
A Wellesley professor asserts that
laziness of the jaws causes the so
called Yankee twang, but few of us
have observed anything resembling
laziness of the jaws in the American
people of late. Those who are not
talking are usually chewing gum.
Modern methods have penetrated to
Mexico, unless the report is misleading
that the government has discovered a
phantom brigade of 1,000 soldiers
whose "commander" has been drawing
their pay and forage allowance for
horses for three years.
