Alaska News Notes
William Pavloff is reported by the
Sitka Tribune to have said that the
recent Taku breeze which visited that
section blew down treeson Long island,
implanted deep in the ground, that had
been there for one hundred years. One
large tree was picked up bodily and
carried over thirty feet through the
* air.
James Clancy, 66, died recently at
St. Anne hospital, Juneau, of cancer of
the stomach. Clancy was a ’98er, and
at one time was a resident of Valdez.
Six of Clancy ’s old friends, aggregat
, ing 1620 pounds in weight, were chosen
as pallbearers. They were James and
. Jack McCloskey. Charles Iloxie, Dan
Callahan, T. E. P. Keegan and H. J.
i. itaymond.
The port officials at Prince Rupert,
B. C., report that during the last year
25,000,000 pounds of halibut were re
ceived at that place. While the report
does not state what proportion of the
t total came from Alaskan waters, fisher
men conversant with the fishing
grounds of Alaska and adjacent waters
assert that more than one-half of the
, fish sold in Prince Rupert are taken in
Alaskan waters.
The Hvder Jiynbo Mining Company
• has been organized in Seattle, with
- Charles E. Herron as president, to
•takeover the Jumbo group of seven
'Claims, adjacent to the Titan group on
Fish creek. near nyder, formerly
owned by Jack Sutherland and associ
ates, and the Star group of three claims
on Ninemile, owned by Dan Anderson j
and partner. Associated with Herron
are a number of Seattle, Anchorage
and Juneau business men.
.Much is expected from the work of
the B. C.pSilver people, who recently,
• by tunnel, crosscut a vein 43 feet in
width, with bi&h grade ore, at a ver
tical depth of 360 feet. This is sup
, posed to be a continuation of the Pre
mier mine ore body. Anew compres
sor has been ordered, in addition to 30
tons of additional equipment and sup
plies, aDd 50,000 feet of lumber is on
the ground for additional living quar
ters.
Ore assaying 35 ounces of gold per
ton is reported as being taken out of a
four-foot vein in the Alaska Premier
mine near Hyder. The ore also carries
substantial values in silver. The mine
is located just south of the interna
tional boundary, fin the Alaskan side,
and is within the great sulphide belt
in which such properties as the Pre
mier, Indian, Virginia, Daly Alaska.
Stoner and other rich ore properties
are located.
