Alaska Notes
l r v I From Territorial
Exchange*.
Louis Spitz, who pioneered in Nome,
Fairbanks and Ruby during the early
days of those camps, is now the pro
prietor of the Mammoth ■Club, a pop
»ilar resort at Tonopah, Nev.
Henry Palmer Wyhrmtt, former
United Status marshal of the Third
•division of Alaska, with headquarters
■at Seward, died at Ellensberg, Wash.,
a few weeks ago. He went to the
Klondike in 18!)7, and was auditor for
the old Alaska Commercial Company
ait St. Michael for six years. For the
-last thhree years he had been cashier
-Tor the Seattle Municipal Railway,
;and was visiting a daughter at Ellens
iburg when he died.
The following, from the Nome Nug
•get, concerning a well known Nomeite,
twill be read with interest:
Mrs. W. J. Keene, proprietress of
tthe Nome Tailoring Company, re
tturned on the Victoria. Mrs. Keene
iaccompaniod her husband to the
.'States last fall. He was suffering
from an ailment which required spe
ccial medical attention.
After arriving in Seattle Mr. Keene
■consulted the noted specialists in the
<eity, all of whom pronounced his ail
iment incurable. He had been steadily
failing in health, with no seeming
■ chance of relief, when he learned, ac
cidentally, of an institution in Sa
'vannah, Missouri- named the Dr.
Nichols'Sanstaritnn, which had gained
■world wide fame In its remarkable
■ success in handling cancerous cases.
Fur this place Mr. Keene left on
February 24 and was admitted as a
patient, and in a month’s time he left
.again for the const, a well man.
Mrs. Keene is untiring in her praise
■ of the institution, and has a book de
scriptive of the diseases tr'oatell, con

taining also 5,000 testimonials from
former patients. After Mr. Keene re
mains on the coast some time he will
return to Missouri and have his facial
lineaments restored, which operation
is known as plastic surgery.
Mr. Keene was a member of the city
council and prominent transfer and
mining man, and the good news of his
recovery will b • oyously received -by
his many frfer-ds.
Fred II _;s taken to the Fair
banks hosj few days ago, suffer
ing from injuries received while driv
ing a tractor on Ester creek. He is
reported as resting quietly, and if no
complications set in he should be out
of hospital in the course of a couple
of months. Mr. Holley was driving a
tractor far J. C. Kinney, when the
breaking of a coupling caused the car
to slide forward, catching him partly
underneath. The lower part of the
right leg and tire thigh hones were
broken.
K. C. Wood, former president off the
First National Bank, Fairbanks, is
said to be meeting with good success
in a new field, according to a letter
recently received .at al'’if banks from
Seattle. Mr. Wood recently pur
chased the? patent rights to a fruit
picking ladder, .and in .placing it on
the market has found that the demand
far .exceeds the present manufactur
ing ouput.
George Butler, Sr., one of the best,
known of Alaskan pioneers, died at
San Francisco on July 15.
Mr. Butler w'ent into the Klondike
in 18H8, and was married in Dawson
in 189H. In 1906 Mr. and Mrs. Butler
came to Fairbanks. "During his resi
dence there he took an active part in
civic affairs and became one of the
best known and widely ’liked men in
the country. About 1910 he removed
to Seattle, where he resided until last
spring, when, 'because of failing
health, he sold out 'his business and
went to California.
Mr. Butler was about 68 years of
age. He is survived by his wife and |
six-year-old son, George Butler, jr.

White, formerly of Nome, and his
wife, Jessie Morrison White, also
graduating in the same class; Mias
Margaret .Elizabeth Shaft nek. iof Ju
neau; John Ralph Blum, formerly df
Cordova; Miss Marguerite Bone,
daughter of former -Governor Bone,
and Clarence J. Cara to ns. John Blum
was awarded one of the Carstens &
Earles essay prizes in business ad
ministration. Paul Thiry and Harry
Loners, university juniors, received
the Gladding-McBean Terra Cotta
Company prize for 1926. Miss Shat
tuck and Mr. Blum were the recipients
of baccalaureate honors at graduation.
Miss Gwendolyn Schofield, formerly
of Nome, was also a this year’s grad
uate of the university.
Reading like a situation out of a
Pollyanna novel is the good fortune
unexpectedly falling to Mrs. Gertrude
Benfield, mother of Mrs. Thomas Lar
more, of Fairbanks. A wire i received
by Mrs. Larmore a few days ago
from her mother stated that she was
heir to an estate of an uncle, valued
at between $250,000 and $400,000.
Mrs. Benfield had not seen her uncle
since she -was a small girl, for years
did not know if he-were.alive or dead,
and had communicated with, him onjy
during the last-six or eight, months.
Besides hie .many other interests he
was a stockholder in the Kennec.ott
mine. Included in .the estate is.a 500
acre farm in Illinois, vwhere the uncle
lived, and recently coal of unknown
value was discovered on the farm.
.Joe Quigley, prominent miner of the
Kantislma -district, arrived at .Fair
banks a fe wdays ago, having walked
from Eureka to the railroad, a dis
tance of about 90 miles.
tt is Mr. Quigley’s belief that min
ing in the Jvantishna will be at more
or less of a standstill until adequate
transportation facilities.are provided.
With the system now in use—either
hauling ore to Roosevelt, on tin; Kan
tishna l iver, fur-shipment in the sum
mer, or hauling ho the railroad—
values must.be unusually high to yield
a profit, and it is practically impossi
ble to depend upon such transporta
tion methods for large-scale opera
tions. The-buildingoif a railroad spur
from McKinley Park into the Kan
tishna would, it is believed, open up
an area (extreme^ .rich ip minerals.
With the railroad constructed, OBe
going from $40 to $50 .a ton oould be
profitably .mined.
Mr. Quigley did rurltake.out any
ore last w inter, but. .employed a crew
in opening .up new mines. He will
continue the development work next
winter.
nessed the entry of the Tanana Valley
Gold Dredging Company, Ltd., as a
major .producer in the Fairbanks field.
The mammoth Yuba dredge, under
construction by the Yuba Manufactur
ing Company, of San 'Francisco, was
turned over to Resi'dertt Manager L. J.
Brittain, completed and ready to start
upon a career of excavation' by which
the gold will be extracted from ap
proximately six miles of the workahle
bedrock of Fish creek, 28 miles from
Fairbanks. The dredge is working!
well, states Mr. Brittain, who indi
cates that he is thoroughly pleased inf
every particular with its initial per
formance.
The Yuba is df five cubic-foot ca
pacity, and is electrically driven. It
plan, which includes a steam turbo
is self-contained, in that the power
generator, two boilers and eight mo
tors, are placed upon the boat.
Twenty men are employed by the
company in its operation. A model
camp has been erected at the con
struction site, on Nos. 1 and 2 above
discovery, where the dredging now is
in progress.
