l' ice, pool took'definite form. R. F.

K- Glark, Henry Kaiser, Thomas Jones,

Ttie.. United States cable ship Dellr.
wood was due back in Seattle early
this month after making a cruise
i mrouhdithe world. She sailed from
that port on August 15 of last year
and traveled to Londqn via the Pan
ama canal, in Great Britain a large
shipment of cable was loaded o nthe
boat and sre sailed for Manila via
i Mahiia via the Suez canal. The cable

George Phelps, for years in busi
ness at Seward, recently sold his
* business and went to San Francisco,
■ where he got the thrill of his life.
He was in a small branch bank one
day when two bandits entered and
instructed everybody to put ’em up.
The bandits scooped up $6,000 and
departed, but Phelps writes friends
at Sewara that he kept his hands up
for at least two minutes after they
MMfcl
. Captain Richard D. Suryon, who
almost went 0own with his fishing
i boat, the Lindbergh, when the boat
commencea to founder in Chatnam
. Strait: last June, was awarded a
$1,364 judgment in Seattle against
the Lake Washington Ship Yards,
& builders of the vessel. Superior
Judge D. H. Carey, who awarded the
. judgment, declared evidence had
?.• shown the boat to have been poorly
calked and to have been built of
green timber. Captain Suryon, who
e .owns a fleet of fishing vessels, testi
fied that he was compelled to jettison
300 uarrels of herring when the
Lindbergh began to settle during
. rough, weather and that he and his
crew were saved frqm death by
drowning when they were rescued by
the Stanford, another fishing boat, to
the owners of which they were com
1 palled to pay $1,200 salvage.
Alfiska mining is showing a gain,
4..B. D. .Stewart, supervising mining
engineer and. federal mine inspector,
■' told the Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce at a recent meeting. He said
i there were more prospectors in the
field during 1929 than for the last 20
;; yearsnhe has been in the country. Mr.
Stewart regards both Alaska and
Talkeetna mountain ranges as very
likely prospecting areas. About the
most important thing to encourage
j prospecting, up he sees it,is the ex
tension of trails, so that access may
be had to new oountry. Building of
trails he believes to be more import
ant than a custom mill or sampling
* works.
R. W.' J. Reed has been named by
• 'Collector ! 'of' Customs John C. Mc
Bride to be deputy coleetor in charge
at Wrangell, '» The position was left
vacant by the recent death of Fred
£. Bronson# who had been deputy
collector there for more than a quar
ter of anedntury. Mr. Reed entered
t the customa' service in 1908, when he
was senfcctd Nome as inspector. Later
1 he was appointed deputy collector in
Mftarge at Nome and has been there
, ever since. Collector McBride has
| not yet named a successor of Mr.
; Heed at Nome.
Finding of intoxicating liquor dur
, iug a raid made on his residence by
I federal officers resulted in the arrest
recently of George Herington at Ne
nana. Upon entering a plea of
guilty he was sentenced by Commis
sioner C. C. Heid to four months in
jail ana fined $200. He is serving
part of the sentence in the Nenana
jail and will be taken to Fairbanks
later if . room is available in the jail
there.
because of the congestion in the
federal jail at Fairbanks, Johnnie
G ass, Indian, is being held in the
Kt.by jail temporarily. He was sen
tenced to a year for violating the
Alaska dry law.
l’he platinum output of the Good
News district, near the mouth of the
Kuskokwim river, made a fairly good
showing during the last season, ac
coraing to George B. Smith, mining
engineer, who was a recent visitor
in Anchorage.
There were fourteen men in the
Good News district during the sum
mer, and .. is reported that they took
out sometuing over $40,000 in plat
inum, i.i? season’s cleanup ranging
in value from $65 to more man $1)0
an ounce. Mr. Smith was informed
that plans for the coming season
contemp»ated more extensive opera
tions, ana it is expected that the out
put will be considerably greater than
that c\ last summer.
-
Five thousand tons of coal were
purqhased by the Alaska Railroad
during December. Practically all of
this was furnished by the Healy
River Coal' Corporation and Alaska
Matanuska Coal Company.
Trappers of the upper Tanana
watershed have learned the literal
meaning of the old saw, “the wolf at
the door." To the wolves which, it
is said, have full claim t<J the coun
1 try, the trappers blame the complete
disappearance of the fur-bearer and
therefore their means of livelihood,
says ..e airbanks -,ews-Miner.
n.iiia mNoru.gurft, who arrived
in Fairbanks recently, was .nven out
of his trapping district by the pred
ators. The howl of the wolf was in
cessant around his home cabin on the
Johnson river. As his ammunition
suppl'jPSvas becoming low he decided
that he would enter into no engage
ment with them. While taking up
his traps he disaovered one wolf
caught. Eleven others were stand
ing around while he killed and re
moved the animai. Three followed
hi mhome. Northgurft 'ares that
the wolves are eating everytmng, in
cluding lynx and fox.
iSeverai trappers of the Tanana
river disu.«. have gone wolf hunting
during tne last few weeks, among
them aI Lien, w 10 recently procured
| a fuil supply of ammunition and
headed for the Little Delta. Linu said
that on a recent trip out from his
trapping grounds his dog ..am was
followed by two wolves.
Paul Soma reported having found
the freshly-stripped Dones of three
j moose aong Shaw creek. Others have
I found similar kills along their trap
lines.
i The moose are unusually numerous
along the highway, according to Mail
Carrier Lund. More than twenty
were seen in one band at the 23-mile
recently. Me estimated that fully
three dozen have wandered down
from tne hills and into the flats be
tween Fairbanks and Little Salcha
during a period of three days during
the week. He narrowly averted a
crash with one at the *o-mile as be
was returning to Fairbanks on a re
cent trip.
Favorable conditions 4his winter

on at least two- mines m-the Willow
