’Frisco Letter Tells
of Former Alaskans
San Francisco, Feb. 10.—San Fran
Ssco seems to be in good shape. aDd,
.ike every city, town and hamlet in
this great state,, is forging steadily
ahead, but the southern part is grow
ing more rapidly than other sections.
There are quite a few former Alaskans
here, but [ think Los Angeles and
near-by towns have many more than
San Francisco.
Jafet Lindeberg, according to local
report, is really broke, but just now he
is running a miniature radio outfit, the
apparatus selling for five dollars each.
Billy Maloney, former Alaska mine
inspector, is with the Union Construc
tion Company, and is doing, well.
Jim Murray, formerly of'Home, who
'or setters! years has been operating a
dredge on Cache creek, in Cook Inlet
country, had a very successful season
last \ear, ana is saia to Have made a
big cleanup.
Paul Deohart, who has been mining
in the Cook Inlet district, has gone to
Mexico, on a mining deal of some mag -
nitude.
Ned Darling, former hardware man
of Nome, has been very ill at his Oak
and home, but is now recovering: Mrs.
anliug has written a scenario featur
ng'“Baldy of Nome,” and the play will
be screened in California’s- Alaska—
Truckee.
Julius Giese, an old A_la9ka pioneer,
-s now somewhere in South America,
on a business trip, in which he will in
vestigate arming and cattle raising, as
well as mining.
J. .I; Cole, who last year ran a dredge
on Anvil creek, Nome, is said to have
made a cleanup of $25,000, with at least
another good year in sight.
Dave Gilchrist, who used to have a
transfer business in Nome, is now £
chicken rancher at Petaluma and is
doing exceedingly well. But this is
not true of every hopeful Alaskan wht
has essayed chicken farming in Cali
fornia. All that glitters is not gold

i One is reminded of the passing < f the
| years, if in no other way, by the chil
dren born in Alasaa, and who have
! '‘grown up." For instance, Thomas R.
: White, who was married in Nome, has
j a son now in his junior year in West

’ the wife of a young eDsigti of the Davy;

i native of Nome, is married to a lieu

j best. Allison Bruner, former Non e
| attorney, has a son. born in Nome, in
j the University of California law school,
, while his daughter, also born in Nome,
j stood first among thousands of children
who not long ago graduated from the
Oakland high schools.
