Alaska Notes 1
Gathered 'From Territorial j
Exchanges. ,
The Rev. Father Jette, S. .1., re-1
<rhureh on (he Yukon, is dead Such |
is the word contained in wire received j
hy the Rev. Fr. O'Reilly at Fair 1
Hanks, in which it was briefly stated
that the venerable churchman had 1
fallen victim to pneumonia while en-j
Raged in his duties at Akularak mis- j
sion, on the lower Yukon. The date
•of death was given as of February 4.
News of the passing of Father
Jette comes as j» distinct shock, says
th eFairbanks News-Miner. His
friendships ranged the entire scope of
the Yukon valley, where his years
were given. Highly intellectual and
of amiable disposition, he attracted
to himself all with whom he came in
contact. He was an able writer and
the publisher of numerous books and
pamphlets of historic interest. He
was considered a foremost authority
on the history and traditions of In
terior Alaska.
Transfer of C. V. Brown, from his
official station at Skagway, to Peters
burg, was recently made public by U.
S. Marshal Albert White. Deputy
Marshal Xeil McGregor was tendered
the Skagway position, Marshal White
raid, but resigned in order to return
to Petersburg, where he has property
1 interests. Deputy Brown has beet
attached to the Skagway office since
he- came to the Territory, last July.
Patrick McManniman, 60, veteran
section foreman, was killed a few
days -ago when struck by a snowplow
at Potter station, on the Alaska rail
toad.
Frank Hagel, pioneer Alaska min
ing man, died at St. Joseph’s Hospital,
Fairbanks, a few days ago. He had
betn ill for several weeks, and death
v. as not unexpected.
Hagel was born in Germany 70
years ago, and spent a considerable
portion of his life in the North. Since
1010 he had been mining on Ester
creek, and of late years had been as
sociated with David Thomas, James
McCann and John Mikely. Before
that time, ii is said, he mined in the
Kanitshnu district.
The last of the Hammon Company
dredges in the Nome district to cose
down was No. 3, in December. The
freezing weather made the swinging
distance of thedredge much shorter,
and it was determined to close down
and clean up the gold on the dredge.
The company enjoyed a wonderfully
successful season, from all reports,
although the water shortage during
the summer hampered cold water
thawing considerably.
Two appointments by the Alaska
Game Commission—a game warden
for the Second division and a new
captain for the patrol boat Seal—
have been announced by C. T. Gard
ner, president of the commission.
Mark A. Winkler, of Nome., was
appointed game warden, and Ed Simp
son, of King Cove, Alaska, has been
selected to command the Seal. Both
men were highly recommended to
the Commission, President Gardner
said. Mr. Winkler has resided in the
Second division for several years and
is familiar with conditions there and
along the lower Yukon river areas.
Mr. Simpson is said to be one of the
best equipped pilots and masters of
small boats in the Bristol Bay dis
trict.
Dr. W. A. Rystrom, who practiced
his profession of dentistry in Alaska
for a number of years, but who of late
has made has home in the States, will
open dental offices in Cordova.
Ralph Smith Constans, late Bo
nanza creek miner, who perished on
the trail between Dawson and his
home on 55 Bonanza in December,
was laid to his eternal rest at Daw
son recently. Constans came North
va the Mackenzie river route and, al
though he started for the god me
tropolis in ’98, he did not arrve there
until two years later. He became in
