ALASKANS HAD NOT
HEARD OF THE WAR
RUBY; May 22. ? Capt. A. D. \V||
linms. after an absence of ten months
to a day. returned to Ruby last Mon
day. Ho has been on the extreme
upper reaches of the N'ovi river all
the time, and had not heard any inti
mation of the great war that is now
holding the attention of the world
until he neared the Yukon a few days
ago.. Rob Smith. Jack Larson, and
Kd. Slater came out rrom the same
general region, and it is known that
several men spent the winter across
the divide on the waters of the Kus
kokwim. none of whom had heard of
the war.
!.ast fall a few men came down the
Porcupine from the Arctic divide and
people on the Yukon thought it was
a great joke when it was learned that
the men from the Far Xorth had re
mained in ignorance of the belliger
ent state of Kurope till reaching the
big river. Alaska newspapers nearly
all commented on the circumstances
then. With the usual winter expedt
? ?? A
tion of the Canadian police from Daw- i
son to Herschel Island and trips of I
United States mail carriers from
Nome to Point Barrow, it is probable
that all the white men and most of
the natives In the Arctic have heard
of the war by this time, and that
makes more remarkable the fact that ,
several men in nearer and more ac-. ]
cessible regions have remained tin in
formed of what is going on up to the
present time. ,
In speaking of the matter Capt. Wil
liams expressed the belief that men \
who are out of hearing of such a tu- |
mult are better off. ,

MORE PAY FOUND IN
TOLOVANA DISTRICT
??
FAIRBANKS. .May 22 Adding to <
the good reports coming steadily in
from the Tolovana is the Information
brought by Henry Crook to the effect
that pay has been located on Gertrude
creek, a draw coming in opposite 5
above on Llvengood creek. Ground
that will run about a dollar to the
foot has been found on claim owned ;
originally by Livengood & Hudson,
and in which Cascadden secured Liv
engood's interest.
Gertrude is a small creek, with
three or four claims on it and the ,
paystreak is only a very narrow one.
probably about twelve feet wide.'
At the mouth of Gertrude. Tom S.
Knowles, a son of Frank Manlev's.
has just secured No. 5 above, creek
claim, Livengood. paying for It $12.
000. $500 in cash. The ground was
bought from Teddy Hudson.?(Fair

MINES AT VALDE2
ARE GETTING BUSY
VALDEZ. June lb.? Owing to the |
rise in the price of copper, the Gran
by mine is preparing to make ship
raents of ore at an early date. Other
copper mines are being developed
and an unusually active season in
this district is anticipated.
The Valdez mine, near Glacier, has
resumed work. The company has
let a contract for a large amount of
development work, which is already;
under way.
"Red" Ellis, the locator of the fa-1
mous Cliff mine, is returning here to
defend himself in a suit involving his;
interests in the mine.
WILL TRY TO NAVIGATE
TOLOVANA WITH STEAMER
?+?
FAIRBANKS. May 25. The naviga
tion of the Tolovana river with the
little river steamer Dan will be at
tempted. She will sail from this
place with a cargo of mining machin
ery and merchandice for the head of
navigation on the river from which
he nuewcst Alaska placer strike gets
its name.

RODEN WITHHOLDS
TOLOVANA VERDICT
RUBY, May 22.?Replying to the
luestidns asked after his arrival from
Fairbanks, this week. Henry Roden
said it was too early yet to pronounce
judgment on the Tolovana. He did
not visit the district himself, but con
versed with numerous people from
there. He said opinion is about equal
ly divided as to whether or not the
:amp will make good, but it is agreed
that no paystreak has so far been de
veloped. E. J. Ives, associate of
Price and Manley. has secured op
tions there and seems to think well
of the country.
FAIRBANKS PLANTS TREES IN
YARDS AND ON STREETS
FAIRBANKS. May 25.?Taking ad
vantage of the suggestion convoyed
by the setting apart of Arbor Day a
number of people are busy setting out
trees around their houses and these
by considerably bettring the appear
ance of the streets. Several dozen
have already been planted and very
day the number Is being added to.
The trees that were planted two
and three years ago are this year
showing a splendid growth and have
much more than repaid the trouble
that was taken with them. There is
now a good promise that in a few
years the streets of the town will
bear favorable comparison with those

XLASKA COPPER WAS
KNOWN TO RUSSIA
SEATTLE, June 13- Tho copper de
>osits of the Ketchikan district, in
southeastern Alaska, wore known to
he Russians before tho acquisition
>f the territory by the United States,
ind there was a crude attempt to de
velop them as early as 1SS0. It wan
tot until 1901, however, that syste
untic mining was begun and not nu
ll 1905 that a large annual output
.vas made. Up to the close of 1913
:he copper mines in the Ketchikan
listrlct had produced about 22.6440,000
pounds ofcopper, valued at $2,760,000.
ind $500,000 worth of gold and sil
ver.
Most of the mines of the district
lie at or near tidewater. There is an
abundance of timber, and tho relief
favors the undercutting of the ore bod
ies. While there arc as yet only a
few producing mines, there are many
undeveloped copper prospects which
give promise of containing commer
cial ore bodies. Many of the copper
deposits show an irregularity of oc
currence that Is unfavorable to cheap
exploitation, but otherwise the condi
tions arc favorable to low mining ex
penses.?(Seattle Times.)
MINNESOTA ON HER
WAY TO SEATTLE
SEATTLE, June 12.- Officials of
the Great Northern Steamship Com
pnny were informed yesterday that
the .Minnesota would be off the ways
at Nagasacki today and would pro
ceed for Seattle via ports of the

attle July 5. It is announced that the
Minnesota will sail on probably what
will be her last voyage under the
American flag between July 20 and 27
with a full cargo of general freight
and machinery. She will go from Se
attle to Vladivostok. Siberia, direct,
afterwards calling at oth^r ports in
the Far East.
The Minnesota has been fully re
paired after her accident off the Jap
anese const.
CONVICTED DOCTOR
PROTESTS INNOCENCE
Dr. M. F. Hall, -who was sentenced
by Judge Charles E. Bunnell at Fair
banks to six months in jail, and a fine
of $500, was denied a now trail. He
had been charged with criminal as
sault upon a nine-year-old girl.
"Before passing sentence," says the
Fairbanks Citizen, "the court gave
the defendant a chance to speak for
himself. Dr. Hall said his testimony
on the witness stand was correct and
that he had done nothing that was
not in line with his professional work.
It was the first time, he said, that a
charge of this kind had been made
against him. and he promised the
court that it would be the last, as he
had adopted a rule not to have minor
children in his operating room unless
accompanied bj^. parents or guar- i
dians."
