EXPLAINS | A v s
Of alaska TO
CLUB WOMEN

Before an interested audience of
women at Seward, Judge F. M. Brown
talked for an hour on the laws of AL
aska. The address was given es-
pecially for the recently organized
Woman's club there and the subject
was one in which the club members
are deeply interested, "The Relation
of the Territorial Laws of Alaska to
Womn and Children Living in the
Territory"
In his address the judge brought
out in a clear, concise way many
points not familiar to a majority of
the women. He urged the study of
the general laws of Alaska and espe-
cially those concerning women upon
the club and commended the organi-
cation upon the spirit which they had
shown in regard to the same. He
suggested that they interest the other
women's club on the subjecr.
After the talk Judge Brown answer
ed many questions in regard to points
which were not clearly understood.
Among other questions discussed was
the one that the law only gives the
widow of a man leaving no will only
the right to the income from one
third of his property during her life
time. with no right to sell the prop
erty. The other two-thirds reverts to
his family in case there are no chill
dren. Every woman in Alaska should
see to it that her husband makes a
WILL" said Judge Brown.
The compulsory school law, divorce
law, the rights of both husband and
wife to hold property which cannot
be subject to the debt of the other, the
homestead exemption law and many
other laws which are of special inter-
est to the women citizens of the terri
tory were discussed.

REMOVE ASST. ATTORNEY
SEWARD TO VALDEZ

Protests will be made by the Sew
ard Commercial Club and individual
residents of Seward against the re-
moval of Deputy District Attorney
Whittelsey from Seward to Valdez,
thereby leaving the terminal city
without an official from the district
attorneys office.
This change is scheduled to take eff
feet after the coming term of court
it having been decided by District At.
torney Spence to put Judge Munley
at Anchorage permanently. This
would leave Spence at Valdez and
Whittelsey here, but Spence wants
another man in the home office and
proposes to leave Seward without a
deputy.

HISTORY PLACER
D|CC|NCS At
CH|SANA ]

In a government report the Gelogi-
cal Survey publishes the following IN
formation in reference to the Chisana
camp:
After the discovery of gold in the
Klondike and the stampede to that
field in 1897 and 1898, number of
prospectors worked southwark into
the Chisana- White River district and
in 1902 reported discovery of placer
gold in the basin of Beaver Creek
brought on a small gold rush to the
White River Basin, but no workable
placer gravels were then found and
most of the gold seekers soon left. A
few who stayed were led to search
for copper deposits. because Indian
reports of rich ocurranees of native
copper in the White Rive valley had
long been known. Any number Of
copper-bearing lodes were found, and
the development of these and pros
pecting for others have continued to
occupy the attention of a few men
ever since. The region, however, is
difficult Of access and up to the spring
of 1918 had been visited by compare
lively few white men.
The discovery of placer gold in
1913 and the widely circulated re-
ports of the richness of the district
led to a great Influx of gold seekers
and created a demand for more re-
cent information about the district
than was available. Accordingly two
parties of the United States Geological
Survey were organized to map the
country both geographically and geo.
logically.
Facts now known with regard to the
geology and mineral resources of the
Chisana-White River district as re-
suit of these investigations as well as
information from all other available
sources have been compiled and have
been published by the Geological Sur
vey in Bulletin 622-F, by Stephen R.
Caps.
Placer gold was first mined in the
district in 1913, when between $4,000
and $4,000 was recovered. Last year
over 20 claims contributed to the pro-
duction, and gold to the value of more
than s25O,OOO was mined With the
exception of the discovery of a few
new copper lodes, the value of which
has not yet been demonstrated, and a
moderate amount of development work
on the ground already held, copper
mining is practically in the same con-
dition that it was in 1908, when re-
port on the district by F. H. Moffit and
Adolph Knopf was published as Geo
logical Survey Bulletin AIT. A forma-
ton containing some Ignite. usually
in thin layers and more rarely in beds
of greater thickness, occurs at few
places in the region.

RECEIVER IS APPOINTED
FOR sELDOV|A CANNERY

E. F. Randolph, manager of the
Seldovia Salmon company, has been
appointed receiver of that concern by
Judge Brown. The immediate cause
of the motion for the appointment of a
receiver, apparently, was the filing of
a suit for $4,000 by the firm of Coon
Dip & Company for the supply of
labor. The total amount of the in
debtedness to the Chinese firm was
over $4,000 of which $4,000 was paid.
The suit was filed through Lyons and
Richie. E. F. Randolph, manager of
the Salmon company, in an affidavit
states that the company is indebted in
the sum of $4,000 and that a forced
sale would not bring more than $780,
900 and Mr.. Randolph says mis-
management caused loss of 500 ,00N
He took over the management in 1914,
he states, and made a profit that year.
Mr.. Randolph also states in his aft
davit that arrangements have been
made through the large stockholders
to meet the Indebtedness in a given
time and to re-organize the company
on a paying basis, and they want to be
assured of protection. All the stock
except three shares is owned by Ben
Moyses and the estate of Julius
Redelsheimer. 40 arraro
