inently in the Fight Against
, the Judge’s Confirmation.
FAIRBANKS, Sept. L—The famous
Wickersham lot, on the comer of First
and Cushman, is no longer the prop
erty of Judge Wickersham. It was
-purchased yesterday by a syndicate of
local men for l-'o.duo cash, and the
purchasers are pleased with ineir bar
gain.
The lot in question Is the one on
which stands the Horseshoe saloon,
Mrs. Card's Cecil Cafe and other
buildings are on the lot, but the
Horseshoe was tie property that car
ried the lot to the notice of President
Roosevelt and every membci of the
house and senate. With all the pub
licity given the Judge aa the owner of
the lot, his reappointment waa given
him. and the Judge evidenced no desire
in sell the lot after nia return to Pair
banks. He had many offers for it,
until linaliy the price waa raised to a
point where it waa poor business to
refuse it. and the Judge took the
money.

SALE OF CLAIMS
AT FAIRBANKS
Two sales of considerable import
ance have recently been made on Fair
banks creek, in the Tatiana. The first
was the transfer of No. 6 below. The
other one closed was a ueal t a rough
which Captain Donald B. Olson closed
out all his mining interests there.
No. & below was sold by George Poe,
who bad already made a tidy fortune
in working the ground. The price was
$15,Odd. It is stated that Nate Zeimer
and 8am Shequln are the purchasers
but this information is not definite.
The other deal was for all of Captain
Olson's interests In and about No. ;
above. It was a larger deal, as it in
cluded the end re working equipment
a big plant and a lot of fuel. The
purchasers were Herman Wobber and
A. Riipa. Hr. Riipa was n partner
with Captain Olson in the ground, th
two having bought it recently for Cap

for selling la that he has decided to
return outside. He will finish a little
work to be done on his lay on No. ]
above and leave with lira. Olson for

Some unusually good buys have beer,
made on Fairbanks this season. The
record-breaker in Ibis llue was that of
No. 4 below. George Carr, the claim's
origiual owner, became tired of waiting
for the claim to show up and offered
it to Matt Htiderschelp and partners
for H.OOil. the money to be paid this
summer. At the time several lays

RICHNESS
James L. Galen Returns
From That Country
Copper is There in Quantity to
Make an Empire of That Dis
trict-Transportation Key to
Its Future Greatness.
"Copper will be king some day in
that great wilderness and maae of
mountains now commonly termed the
head of the White, Tanana and Cop
per rivers," said James I* Galen, who
arrived in Nome the other day front
the headwaters of the Tanana, where'
he spent the past summer. Mr. Oaten

Montana, where cotper Is the metal

of Montana, whose gold was made
from copper. However, Mr. Galen L
an Independent spirit, and relies on
his exploitation of the rich distrir.* -
from which he has just arrived.
Hr. Galen is fascinated with the
great mineral wealth that lays locked
In the heart of that region. He says
the one key to unlock this wealth and
make it possible for an empire of
riches to be born is transportal loti.
“Give ins a railroad, and I will re
sist the temptations of the richest
placer field. Let me hear the whistle
uf a locomotive in that region, and
the sweetest music on earth will he
but a discord. Let me see a train of
cars, and stocks, bonds and the clatter
of gold will he mine without effort.
“There one see* great veins of cop

of native copper in such abundance
that in one's realisation of this Im
mense wealth It at once appears to

TANANA VALLEY TOBAGCO
NEW MARVEL OF ALASKA
The stories that come now and then
from that Eden-like tract down baker
creek way Impress listeners as deeply
as must those tales of marvelous nat
ural conditions described by Lewis nr
Clark, of their west, ages ago. A
stranger's powers of conception must
Le strained In visiting the valley of
the Tanana. If he comes on a stage
in December he is likeiy to experience
the bitterness of 70-below-zero atmos
phere.
Given that this stranger has made
the trip in and out last winter, and
that he returned yesterday on the Tan
ana, he would have bad to realise that
this place was the birthplace of trop
ical plants requiring climatic condi
tions as far temoved from 70 below
zero as Louisiana is from Athabasca.
William Casey, of the Hotel North
ern, brought a large plant of native
tobacco back with him from the Baker
hot springs. It is over four feet high
and in full bloom. The plant Is on
exhibition In front of the Hotel North
ern. and la the object of a great many
persons’ admiration.
‘‘Why, you can't conceive what a
marvel that steam-htated soil Is down
there," declared Casey, last night.
‘‘That tobacco is one of scores of the
same size. Many are far taller and
have greater foliage.
"Mr. Kaishner, who raised the
plants, tells me he is doing It at the
request of the government, to which
he will report upon the growth. He
raised the big patch from a few seeds
obtained from the department of ag*
i lculture.
“But summer squash, canteloupes
and such are things be does know
about, and he will startle Fairbanks
produce dealers in a week or so with
a shipment of Hubbard and Rocky
Ford varieties that will make them
sit up and look some curious.
Among t/iose Casey mentioned as
being at the springs now is George
Byrnes, the insurance man. He says
that Qeorge la taking three baths a
day, eats a wheelbarrow load and
lalks of getting thin. At the las:
weighing he was gaining but three
pounds a day.—Fairbanks Times.
NATIVES AS
PILE DRIVERS
Freight traffic on Cook inlet near
Seward, this season has exceeded all
precedent. Captain Blodgett says that
the three boats of the mos'iuito flee'
on the Inlet liaves cariled more Hum
2,900 tons from Seldovia to the upper
ports since navigation opened early In
April. This Included the supplies fur
the Alaska Commercial Company's
stores. Palmer and Hemlng at Knlk,
Tyooaok. Susitna station and other
supply points. Several hundred tons
were taken up for the Crow Creek
Mining Company, 8 \V. Wible and
James Girdwood for their hydraulic
operations on Tumagain Arm.
Captain Blodgett believes that tbe
entrance of the railroad to t'ie region
along the arms of the inlet and the
Susitna valley, will greatly Increase
the steamer traffic on the inlet and
that the number of vessels engaged
will soon be doubled and trebled.
That the railroad will reach some
points now accessible only by boat he
concedes, but the influx of population
which will follow the building of the
railroad will enormously increase th*
freight traffic to the Interior, and much
of it can be handled more cheaply and
advantageously by the Inlet and rive:
boats than by the railroad.
Hereafter freight can be transferred
at Seldovia much more easily than In
the past, because of the erection of
Herbert’s wharf. This is nearly com
plete, and small steamers can land be
side it now. It will be 1,000 feet long
from the shore, and will have a T at
the outer end, where ocean steamers
can dock. It has a warehouse 100 feet
long, and Cuplalu Blodgett sqys It Is
a first-class dock in every respect.
Heretofore freight from ocean steami
era has been lightered to the beach.
An interesting feature of this dock
is that the piles have been driven by
Siwash power. About fifteen natives
puli up the hammer by means of a long
rope. They do not bring results quite
as fast as a steam pile driver, but the
hammer drops with the same force and
precision.
When one person presents a drama
representing the entire cast, keeping
the characters distinct, portraying the
scenes clearly. It shows training, tal
ent and experience. Hear lliss Bon
