Postmaster
 Has Arrived

John Foulkes, Chitina's postmas- ter. arrived on today's train and will from now on be in charge of the postoffice, which is being fitted up at the Stringer building. There are many here who have begun to kick good and hard on account of mall being handled as it has been for the past two months, and have wondered why the postmaster and an offIcs. weren't established here several week ago. Mir Foulkes' appoint ment was confirmed in July and the office should have been in commis
 sion by August 18th, but the Chitina stamp and paraphernalia necessary to establish an office did not arrive until the last trip of the steamer Northwestern, and so he is here as soon as DO. sible under the circum- stances. That he will make a good postmaster, We feel assured, as he gave the best of satisfaction while at work for Uncle Sam in Cordova.

He intends remaining here until about December l, when he Will se- cure a horse and return over the winter trail to the claims which he and his partner. Frank Smith, have located. Mir. Mullet says they have located eleven copper claims and all have splendid showings of fine nat!va copper and glance The head of the White river is about 120 miles from Chitina, and is best reached by the winter trail, leaving mile 191 and going down the Kennicott for nine miles to the Nizina river. thence up the Nizina for over 30 miles till the Nizina glacier is reached. The trail then leads up Skoli creek till the White or Skoli glacier is reached. and the traveller finds himself in splendid mineral belt. The White. Skoli and Chitistone rivers all have their source in the White or Skou glaciers.

New Trail
 A Revelation

J. Hawkinson, one of the old-tin- CTS of Alaska. in this mineral belt, and who has two placer claims ol Bonnifield creek, returned here on Tuesday from a trip to Portland, Ore, on a visit to his brother He has been away only three months. and says that he expected to have to return to his claims by the Val deg trail to Copper Center, and was much surprised to learn that he cou'd come as far as Chitina in a passenger coach. He left Thursday for his claims, by the way of the new gov- ernment trail, saying as he left that he could hardly realize he was m Alaska, the transportation now be ing such snap.

Terpsichore enjoyed themselves un- til dinner time. There was a prize waltz for prize of S10, which was awarded to Mrs. Reeder and Captain Hill by the judges, Dr. Whiting, E. L. Harwood and E. W. Exum.
 The reception committee, who worked hard to clear the grounds and get things in readiness greatly regretted their inability to enclose the dancing pavilion, erect seats and put in a stove as at first planned. but they were still at work when the train whistled warning that our vls- itors were here. and the ,only com plaint heard was the unfinished con- dition of the pavilion, for as even ing set in it was most too chilly to dance in the open air, while the mu sic1ans had hard work to manipulate their instruments. We predict thai on the 25th of next September, when Railroad Day will have rolled around, Chitina will have three times the amount Of visitors on the excur sion train; that our present frontier condition will have changed into an ideal, thriving interior city ana that there will be many times the present number of people to extend courtesy and hospitality to our PuPStS

Work Will Soon Start
 On kuskalina Bridge

It is expected that trains will be running over the new Kuskalina steel bridge by Nov. 1st. or shortly thereafter.
 The Seward is now unloading the last of the steel and 1t Is being rush ed to the front as fast as needed. This bridge is 720 feet long and con- cists of two anchor spans, each 235 feet long, and one center span 25O feet. It is 235 feet above water at the highest point. On account of pre- vailing conditions sling carrier is taken across the river on cables. The masonary work is all in place and one of the towers will be construct ed at this end of the line and carried across complete. This weighs over one hundred tons.
 It will take ten days in which to complete the tower, take 1t across the river and put it in place. Sev- en days more will be required to fin ish the bridge, the construction of which means the accomplishment of a great engineering feat.
 The total weight of the steel re- quired is 1900 tons, and of this amount the Seward is now unload ing and storing on the dock 997 tons. This will be taken out the line as fast as required, the tower being loaded on flat cars today. The Katalla company is expending tens of thousands of dollars expediting the work.
 In order to quickly discharge from
The Chitina leader., 1910-10-01

the freighter the 2,000 tons of steel rails, an engine has been assigned to work at the dock and four cars all hour are unloaded and rushed to the yard, where another crew is engag- ed in unloasing and placing the rails in piles. A third crew is working on an Emerson bender machine, curb ing the rails and as fast as these are unloaded they are being shipped to the front.
 It seems remarkable when one con siders the many seperate pieces of the bridge which are landed and must be put together again, each bolt in it's place, that the structure can De prac- tically rebuilt without any mistakes. Experience in handling the bridge material has enabled the steamer of- ficials and others to land the steel in the most systematic manner, sc that the pieces needed first are the first to arrive on the ground.

Old Timer
 Is Returning

Frank Alba is in receipt of a let ter from Wm Farrell, one of Alas. ka's old-timers, well known in the interior and having business inter ests in Cordova. Mr Farrell is now engaged in the real estate business at Englewood, California, and in re ply to Franks letter informing him he could now come to Chitfna by rail, expressed great surprise, saying that he thought it impossible to get this far this year, and announced that he would arrive soon on one of the next steamers. take trip over the route by train on which he had spent many weary hours of mushing, and purchase property al the Chitina townsite, realizing that it must be a good investment, and wiil erect building here by November first.

The good people of Miles Glacier claim to have quite a burden lifted from their minds, and are enjoying little quiet and peace since the launching of Deacon" Jones' gas boat. The launching was a success. though in attempting to start the craft appeared little dizzy. The Deacon was there, however, with an extra sparkplug and a dry cell of his own invention, and he now claims to have the best launch this far north. He intends to run by the fa- nous Childs glacier and on down in. to the flats for duck hunt. If you should meet him and see him fumb- ling with a sparkplug its policy to have an important engagement and beat it, quick, too, for you know the brand of the fellow who carries a sparkplug, and the Deacon has them all beat when il comes to what Chief Goodlataw calls Hi yu talk-maybe so, no say nothing"

J. c. Cawley, who has been with the Chitina Tewnsite Co., all sum- mer, left this week for Valdez, where he will inspect number of the mines tributary to the galcier city. MT. Cawley is an assayer and ail- round mining man and is much in- terested in the quartz showings from the newly discovered prospects near Valdez. He says there is telluride and tellirium in sample of quartz. which Mir. Golden showed him this summer, something he hasn't seen since leaving Colorado and declares that the prospects are most encour- aging if the leads discovered are as good as the sample. MT. Cawley vii. spend several weeks at the glacier city in the assay office after an in- spection of the mines, and promises to send the Leader a report of the ore in that district. He speaks very highly of this mineral belt in this section and believes Chitina will soon have need for an assay office.

Natives are
 Destitute

Goodlataw, chief of the Taral h. dians, was a visitor in town last week. He reports that there are about 50 r.en women and children in his jurisdiction, and that his peo
 pie are in a bad way this season. Owing to a very little fur being caught last winter and a poor run of salmon this year, the Indians have no money or food. and, according to all reports, they are in really des;i- ute circumstances for the winter. An appeal to the Women's Episcopal Guild in Cordova, and all charitably inclined people, has already been made, and if any one can help by donating food or clothing of an.r kind. they will be doing Christian and humane act It is claimed that the natives will suffer from cold this winter, and if any one wishes to help by leaving clothing or donations of any kind at the Red Dragon club house in Cordova, the management will see to it's prompt delivery.

Are 1 Locating
 Quartz Claims

H. s. Dean, Len Erickson and An drew Johnson have located three quartz claims near the head of Falls creek in Deans basin, about 1 6 miles east of Taral, or a distance of 20 miles from Chitina MT. Dean was ex- hibiting few fine samples in Chit. ina last week, stating that a mill test had been made which gave them $27 to the ton. The ledge or surface showing is about 15 feet in width and they have developed a vein of free milling ore after tunneling about 30 feet, which is fully two feet wide and has great promise of depth.

Frank Alba, the "Mushing Kid, :" with whom nearly everyone is ac- quainted from Cordova ss for as the Bonanza mines and all over the great copper belt, made another trip up the line this week, taking with him a good supply of reading matter, in cluding copies of the Leader, for the miners and prospectors, and expects to go as far as Mile 196, or the Bor- anza mine. He has arranged with the Northern Meat Market, Chitina branch, to take a supply of fresh meat twice a week for the benefit of camps along the line, which will be greatly appreciated and fill long felt want Frank expects to use a horse this fall and possibly part of the winter, as he will use the trail between here and Willow creek. When the weather is bad he will use his dog team, as he did all last win ter, from Tiekel to Mile 133.

Branch Line
 to Copper nine

VI. H. Hilts arrived in town Tues day from the head waters of the Kuskalina. The copper properties of Messrs. Deyo, Gray, Price, Mo Carty and Mcconnell are all in this vicinity, which is about 12 miles from the main line of the railroad to the Bonanza, and MT. Hilts, who has been doing assessment work for some of the owners, says there is considerable talk of constructing a branch line to these properties when the railroad begins handling ore, and that it will be a paying proposition on the part of the property owners.

Big Celebration on Railroad Day

four and a half hours.
 A reception committee met the train and the freedom Of the city was extended by Mayor Exum, Judge Ferguson and Captain Hill, who were untiring in their eff forts to see that all spent an enjoy able day. And to the matrons of Chitina too much credit cannot be given for their hospitality. They had very thoughtfully arranged luncheon parties and in this way were enabled to entertain a great many friends in their newly erectes homes, where an agreeable surprise awaited their guests. AS a result their praise is being sung by those who were fortunate enough to par take of the noon day meal, which they so generously provided.
 The program of sports started promptly at 2:30 o'clock and the diff ferent events were pulled off prompt ly on schedule time. The main fea- ure was the boat race on the lake, three crews being entered and was exciting from start to finish. Captain Krueger's men were victorious and won the prize of s20. They carried the red flag and his oarsmen were Oscar Nicholson J. Hall and Carl Sand. The blue flag crew consisted of Oscar Spane, John Hollis, Pete Iyesor and Ed. Cannon, who came Tn second. Theo.

Station Man is Badly
 Injured by a Bear

On exhibition at the MacCormac hotel, in Cordova, is the skull of a brown she bear, which Dr. Whiting had mounted and sent down abou; two weeks ago. Had it not been for the timely arrival of Mike Bloom quist, partner of Ernest Sundahl, two Swedish station men located at Mile TIT, the latter would undoubt- edly have been torn to pieces by the enraged animal.
 The men were fishing on a small tributary of the Lakina about two miles from camp. They had become separated a few hundred feet, when of a sudden Bloomquist heard a scream from his partner, and run ming towards him was mortified to see an enraged she bear biting and badly lacerating Sundahl, who was lying face downward on the ground. The old bear evidently had cubs in that vicinity and immediately at tackled the unlucky Swede, knock ing him down with one blow of her big paw, inflicting deep gash ten inches long from the shoulder to the back. Bloomquist, who fortunate ly, had a rife with him, fired shot at the animal as she was tearing a, the back of his partner, the bullel taking effect in the abdomen, but did not quiet her rage until anoth'

Chitina had her first big day on Sunday last, when the excursi on train from Cordova arrived between 12 and l o'clock. There were about 125 people aboard the train. who, af- ter arriving, scattered all over tie town, and were soon shaking hands with old friends ana began to size up and inquire all aDout our coun- try and town here. The visitors stat ed that it was raining hard at ' o'clock in the morning before leav- ing Cordoya and every indication that showers were to follow. Those who had visited the interior before had no fears of the weather and as ex- pected an ideal day was awaiting them at Chitina, where the sun al- ways shines.
 It was merry crowd and the Cordova brass band enlivened the occasion with number of selec- tions en route Refreshments were also served and all congratulated themselves upon being numbered among the party. To many the scenery along the line, and particu- larly between Tiekel and Chitina was a revelation and this alone amply repaid them for the trip. Notwith- standing this was the first regular passenger through to Chitina, as the rails had just been laid to that town, the run of 132 miles was made in

Quitting at
 This Place

Albert Miller arrived in Chitina this week from his placer claims on White river. He intends to pur- chase a miners grub stake here for he and his partner, Al.

CT ball was fired into her body. The bear then went back to where she had left her cubs. and finding them safe, made a rush for BloomQuist. The latter stead jed himself for the attack, and as the bear raised on her hind legs to strike him, he shot her straight through the heart, and she dropped to the ground.
 Bloomquist then assisted Sundahl to Camp TIT, and immediately start ed for Camp 182, where the hospital is situated, and Drs. Whiting and Schreck returned with him to the injured man. The wounds, which consisted of badly mangled shoul- der and large rip in the back were dressed and Sundahl removed to the hospital, where he is at present con- fined
 The party returned that evening to get the bear, and if possible the cubs. The mother had moved about 100 feet from where she dropped, showing the great vitality of these brown bears, asthe heart was torn in shreds.
 Bear are very numerous all along the line of railroad, and as not one man in ten carries a rife, the above is a pretty good object lesson to any one when in woods to keep cases on the brown bear. They're bad ones.
