BOBMENZIES
PASSES ON i
Well-Known Old-Timer'
►Succumbs to Heart
Failure.
Shocking was the sad word ient here
Thursday that Robert Menzies. well
known representative of the Union
Construction Cam pan y at Candle, was
dead, his death having occurred about
*:30 that morning. Death, it was most
Apparent, was due to heart failure.
Mr. Menzies was on his way to the
dredge at the time he was stricken,
following the ditch line, alongside of
which he was found by Andy Hansen,
Who had left for the dredge about ten
minutes later than Mr. Menzies. Mr,
fdanaen rushed to give assistance, but
aaw at once that Mr. Menzies was dead,
Robert Menzies was among the old
timers of the North, having gone in
1898 from San Francisco to Dawson,
where in the early days of that camp
he was connected with the Alaska
Commercial Company. He left Daw
son in 1904 for Fairbanks, and was with
the Northern Commercial Company at
the latter place for several years. For
the past two and a half years he had
acted as representative of the Union
Construction Company in that com
liany’s dredging operations at Candle.
Of genial, cheerful disposition, Bob
Menyies was a man most popular with
his fellow men, by all of whom he was
held in high esteem. To know him
was to like him. fie was rich in
friends and had a world of acquaint
ances throughout the North, not one of
whom will but shed a tear of regret at
his passing.
Aviator Noel Wien and plane, ac
companied by an undertaker, are now
at McGrath, from which place the body
will be taken by airplane to Fairbanks
and then shipped to San Francisco for
interment.
Fred Spencer, of .Vledfra, was a late
Sunday arrival, after having left bis
boat, the Dora, several miles down
river, on account of low water. He
returned to McGrath on Monday in
company with Frank J. Guskey.
Joe Mitchell, well known oldtimer,
and former Cripple operator, who left
here during the winter for Anchorage
on account of ill health, was a Monday
arrival. He returns greatly improved.
Einar Carlson, from Yankee creek,
was a yesterday arrival.
G. W. C. Glass was a Tuesday town
visitor.
Harry Ekstrom, of Cripple, was

Two Oldtimers Heard
From at Dillingham
Dillingham, Alaska, April 30.—John
Suovola, who left Tokotna last summer
expecting to prospect on Unimak
island, found conditions unfavorable
for landing on the island, and after
giving the onee-over to several points
along the Alaskan Peninsula lie came
to Dillingham on the last trip of the
Starr last summer.
Mr. Suovola’s intentions were to pro
ceed up the Nusha^ak and Malchatna
rivers by poling boat and thence by j
dog team to the headwaters of the Ho
holitna, but on account of being unable
to buy a suitable boat or lumoer to
build he had to postpone his proposed
trip for the time being. He wishes
you and tile readers of the Kusko
Times to know trial he loves this sec
tion of the country and the people
hereabouts. He believes there are
mineral possibilities in the Lake Alek
uagak region, but nevertheless intends
to carry out his plan and proceed to
the Hoholitna.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Waskey during
the past winter operated at the west i
end of Lake Alekuogak, but plan to ,
continue their placer prospecting in
the Tikchik lakes section this summer ,
and fall. Mr. Waskey believes that I
the problem of finding coarse gold j
creek somewhere in the Tikchik re- j
gion is simply a matter of elimination.
