IDITAROD STARTS ROW
BETWEEN MAIL ROUTES
Postmaster T. L. Thurston is ex-1
perimenting with a view to securing j
government action in having Iditarod,
Innoko and Seward peninsula mails
routed via Seward next winter, if pos
sible.
The test is being made in the fol
lowing manner: Duplicate letters
dealing with the proposed change
have been sent to the postmaster
general and to Delegate Wickersham.
Of these one set was forwarded by
the regular mail route, while the du
plicates were given into the care of
H. H. Porter, who left for the Out
side over the Seward trail last Satur
day morning. .Mr. Porter will post
the letters when he reaches Seattle.

WILD HORSES ROAM
IN B. C. VALLEYS
I
Three thousand or more wild horsi-e
in herds from 30 to 100 are roaming
over the hills and valleys in the in
terior of British Columbia, according
to a report by James Bradley, who,
with Gustav Reiland. a veteran pros
pector and miner known throughout
the bonanza gold camps, has just re
turned from an extended exploration
tour of the coast, says the Prince Ru
pert Empire.
"Indians and white prospectors and
pack train freighters value these
animals more than high-bred horses,"
said Mr. Bradley. "They are the pro
geny of horses turned loose on the
trail by discouraged or dying men dur
ing the famous gold rush in the Car
ibou country. Thousands of the ver
iest ?tenderfeet' stampeded to the new
fields in the early 60's. Many of them
were incompetent, and, in fact, utter
ly helpless in that wild country, and
the horses either broke away or were
abandoned when the fortune-hunter
gave up on the long trail.
"The horses made their feeding
grounds in the vicinity of Barkerville
for several years afterward, and their
offspring wandered northward as the
bands increased. They are wild and
make trails on the mountains and tim
bered country much after the fashion
: of buffalo in the learly days, and deer
! at present.
"The Indians and freighters, work
ing in the timbered districts, catch
them with snares, such as are used for
, lynx. In most cases the animals are
easily broken and they are better for
the rought country than higbgrade
horses, on account of their stamina
and sureness of foot on the mountain
! trails. We lost horses from our train
j from time to time, and replaced them
j with wild animals."
HELEN S. CLAIM IS
SHIPPING GOLD ORE
FAIRBANKS, April 2.?According to
Rex \V. Ford, who is in the city from
Fairbanks creek. Crites & Feldinan,
the owners of, and operators on the
rich lead on the Helen S. claim, com
menced to ship ore yesterday morning
to the Willis mill on Chatham. The
Helen S. claim lies between Moose
gulch and Too Much Gold creek, on
the left limit of Fairbanks creek.
Crites & Feldinan have been driv
ing a tunnel on their ledge this win
ter. and are now in to the hill for a
distance of 280 feet. They have been
running in very rich ore all the way
and think that their mill run will show
thinks that it may go even as high
values of $100 to the ton. Mr. Ford
as $150 to the ton.
LANDLOCK BAY WILL
RESUME OPERATION
SEATTLE. April 19. ? Because he
believes the present administration
is going to deal liberally with Alaska,
and that within a very short time the
resources of that territory will be open
to development. John L. Steele, a pio
neer Alaskan and president of the
Standard Copper Mines Co., which has
its mines at Landlock. Alaska, an
nounced yesterday that his company's
mines will be again in active opera
tion about June 1.
He expects to begin shipping ore,
which will be sent to the smelter at
Tacoma, Aug. 1. Twenty men will be
employed and 1,000 tons of highgrade
ore will be sent south each month.
When the coal lands of Alaska
again are opened for development,
Steele says his company will Install a
large matting plant. At the present
time, coke, which has to be brought
to Alaska, is too expensive to use, and
it will not be profitable to operate a
matting plant on his company's prop
erty until the Alaska coal, which is
suitable for the purpose, is released
I by the government.

GLEANINGS FROM GREAT I

brought to Fairbanks by William

that town from a trip of inspection
over the trail to Bonnltield creek.

Dirt running fifty cents to the pan

coming from the tunuel 25 feet from

farther they drive the tunnel*. Eight
een inches in the bedrock the dirt pays
12 cents to the pan.

A dozen outfits are taking good
pay out of Little Eldorado creek in
the Fairbanks district according to
reports from Fairbanks.

The Dan McCarty cabin at Little
Delta on the Fairbanks-Valdez trail
was burned early this winter. The oc
cupants of the cabin were unable to'
save any of Its contents. The loss
was $2,000, of which $500 was in cur
rency and $100 in furs.

On April 7th it was said at Fair
banks that the staking of claims on
Twenty-mile creek In the Salcha coun
try was still in progress. The staking
was the result of the strike already re
ported on that creek by Pearson, which
was reported in these columns.

Smallwood creek in the Fairbanks
district is being worked this year by
a half-dozen or more outfits. Some

James H. Russell, of Fairbanks,
formerly a pioneer of the Atlin coun
try and afterward an operator in the

them were born in the North.

The linotype operator on the Skag
way Alaskan is a lady, and recently
she celebrated her eighteenth birth
day. The staff of the paper decided
that the occasion should be celebrat
ed. so they all brought candy to the
office for the girl that presides over
the machine. The Alaskan says "can
dy was selected as a token of remem
brance to Miss Bernlce, because of
its sweetness, it being emblematic of
her temperament and habits."
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OR PRIVATE MONOPOLY
Various measures looking to the
government construction of ruilroads
in Alaska will be urged upon Congress
in the present and the next session.
There is general belief, moreover, that
the policy will be adopted, and Alas
kan development started on a basis
utterly different from that of the oth
er parts of the public domain.
It has been made reasonably appar
ent that if the Government does not
provide transportation in Alaska, it
cannot prevent the substantial monop
olization of the resources of the coun
try. Transportation there is the in
strument of control to an extent un
paralleled in any other part of the
country. Therefore Government mo
nopoly of transportation is the only
assurance against monopoly of the
chief resources.
A program of Government railroad
ownership in Alaska would presuma
bly begin with the acquisition of pres
ent lines there. That is all right, if
it is all right; not otherwise. The new
policy must not open the way to un
loading a lot of dogs and cats on the
Government at unreasonable prices.
Some of the figures that have been
given on cost of Alaskan railroads have
strongly suggested such a plan.?Wash
ington Times.

FAIRBANKS RECEIVER
AFTER MONEY
fter considering the petition of Re
ceiver F. G. Noyes, of the Washington
Alaska hank, to Judge Fuller, asking
for permission to make a demand on
R. C. Wood for the return of the sum
of $1:1,000, the court signed an order
yesterday authorizing the receiver of
the defunct Washington-Alaska hank
to make the demand through his at
torney and institute suit in the dis
trict court if deemed necessary. ; .
The petition recites that E. T. Bar- .
nette, J. W. Hill and R. C. Wood orig-1;
inally formed the co-partnership ?
known as the Fairbanks Banking Corn- ?
pany, which was later absorbed by !
the Washington-Alaska bank. The. lat- \
ter institution, the petition says, is N
now in a Btate of insolvency, and lias '
been so for a period of over two years. ?
The assets of the institution at this !
time are insufficient to pay the debts [
by the sum of about $200,000.
The peition recites that on June !
JO, 1908, the certificate of R. C. Wood '
in the banking company was cancelled '
the certificate of deposit issued to him .
in the sum of $1:1,000. The number of
shares held by Mr. Wood was 130.
This sum, the receiver goes on to
say in the petition, has all been drawn
out. Permission is asked of the court
to demand that R. ('. Wood return the
$13,000, which, the petitioner claims,
belongs to the hanking company's suc
cessors.
The petition and order were drawn
up by O. L. Rider, the new attorney
for the receiver, and represent the
first steps taken by him to bring an;
end to the receivership.
