TWO DEATHS AMONG
INDIAN ATTENDANTS
AT RESERVATION FAIR

Poplar, Sept 25.-Attendance at
the Indian fair was not so good as in
former years, due to the cold RAINY
weather. The Indians put on a really
fine exhibit, though the entertainment
program did not attract many visit
ors. Two deaths occurred among the
visitors camped at the grounds dur
ing the fair. Mrs. Circle Eagle of
Drew, and Mrs. George Washington
of the Riverside community, died, the
former of heart trouble, while the lat
ter had been in i'll health for some
time. Mrs. Circle Eagle was buried
at Drew cemetery Sunday and Mrs.
Washington at Riverside, Tuesday.

 FIRST (Gold Mining)-in the Kougarok mining district on the Kougarok River and its tributaries, there are over seventy-five miles of gold bearing streams which would be profitable to work with dredges or other modern methods of min ing. and which it will require forty years or more to exhaust, provided only that reasonable transportation costs for supplies and fuel can be secured by the construction of a public highway such as the pro- posed extension of the Nome-Shel- ton tramway would furnish. Un- der present conditions only very limited mining operations can be carried on in the district, as the cost of transportation is prohibitive. being one hundred and fifty dollars or more per ton.
 SECOND Gold Mining known placer deposits on Candle Creek, other tributaries of the Kee- walik River, The Inmachuk River and it's tributaries are of such great extent that it will require thirty years or more of continuous opera tions on a large scale by modern methods of mining to work them out.

 FIFTH, Uode Mining)-Within fifteen miles ot the proposed high way-tramway project on the Kug- ruk River there is known to exist. a mineralixed contact. with geoloE- ical conditions favorable for the production of Silver-lead ore. Some development work has been done on this contact and trial shipment made to the Shelter to determine the value of the ore. This was found to be satisfactory, but under present conditions the cost of tran sportatton to the coast is so high as to discourage further developing and prospecting. The proposed highway-tramway project would materially assist in the development of lode mining on the Kugruk river and in other localities contiguous to the route.
 SIXTH. (Reindeer) Reindeer ranges on which large herds aggre- gating over one hundred thousand head, are now and probably will all ways be, maintained, are located on the Kobuk, Buckland, Kugruk and

River coal feld contains millions of tons of . good grade of Lignite coal which when mined in reasonab- ly large quantities. can be produced at q cost of not to exceed two dol- lars per ton at the mine. The Cn- tied States Geological reports show that the minimum thickness of the Kugruk coal seam is over eighty feet. This seam will give . pro- duction of at least eighty thousand tons per acre of ground. The coal seam and enclosing rocks are per- petually frozen, thus no timber is required in mining, hence the low cost of production. Coal is q prime necessity for carrying on placer and lode mining operations as we'll as for domestic use. Cheap fuel. which could be furnished by the proposed highway project. would greatly stimulate mining and pros- pecting on the Kougarok.

PETITION 10 THE Alaska Territorial Legislature.

Nome. Alaska. January 20, 1927.
 The undersigned residents of Seward Peninsula do hereby most respectfully request. and strongly urge, the Eighth Session of your Honorable Body to take such ac- tion as may be necessary and to make such appropriation as may be required, as well as to Memorialize the Congress of the United States to the end that the Alaska Road Commission may be authorized and provided with funds to extend the Nome Shelton tramway as a public highway to Candle and Keewalik by way of the Kougarok mining dis trict and the Kugruk River coal fields.
 Your petitioners respectfully rep resent and earnestly believe, that the following statements and req sons for the urgent need of some means of highway communication between Nome and the Northern part of Seward Peninsula will upon full investigation by the Alaska Road Commission, or other author fixed agency, be found to most fully justify the Territorial Legislature and the Congress of the United States, in providing the funds re- nuired for construction work. in

 FINALLY-The proposed high way-tramway project is essential to the further development of Seward Peninsula as 1t would provide con nection with Nome as . base of sup plies for miners and prospeetovs and it would also provide for the distribution of coal from the Kug- ruk fields to interior points. and your petitioners believe that 1t is one of the most important highway projects that can be undertaken in Alaska, and one that will return such large and permanent results in the development of Seward Pen insula as to warrant many times the cost of construction and mainten- ance.
 Your petitioners pray that your Honorable Body give the proposed highway-tramway project your earn est and prompt consideration, and we believe that the closest examin- ation of the matter will be convinc- ing as to its feasibility. and be found to justify the expenditure re.

A d m iral Magruder Has Article in Magazine
 on Undersea Craft

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 17-The third of a series of articles on naval matters, by Admiral Thomas P Magruder, appears in the Sat urday Evening Post today. It is entitled Submarines" The arti- cle is devoted almost entirely to describing the construction, oper- ation and functions of the under water boats and their possibili- ties.
 Admiral Magruder, in the arti- cle. says that twice within the past five years the submarine has shown it's power in peacetime conferences "at the limitation conference in Washington in 1922 and it figured in a far greater degree than suspected at the 1927 conference at Geneva"
 Admiral Magruder was recent ly dismissed as Commandant of the Philadelphia Navy Yard on account of criticism of the Navy Department.

FISHERMAN LOSES
 LEG IN ACCIDENT

H. Scholten, fisherman. under went an operation for the ampu- tation of the lower part of his leg last night after he had caught his foot in the fly wheel of the engine on his boat and it had been practically torn off.
 According to the story Scholten told hospital attendants the acci- dent occurred about 2 o'clock last evening when he was coming to Juneau on his gasboat. His boot caught in the wheel and before he could stop the engine his foot was torn nearly off. He tied the injured part up as best he could and continued to Juneau.
 Upon reaching here last night at 10:30 o'clock he was rushed to the hospital where he was forced to have the leg amputated below the knee. He is getting along as we'll as could be expected. the at tending physician said today.

 The half-Indian, half-French grandmother of the future sena- tor told her grandson to forsake the ways of red men and to go to the white mems world at the first opportunity.
 The opportunity came when Cheyenne Indians raided the Kaw reservation. The boy. only eight years old, ran many miles to tell soldiers of the danger confront ing his people on the reservation The Cheyennes were driven away but Charlie preferred to go to a place made safe at all times bs white men. He came to Topeka, which was near his birthplace.
 His first obstacle was poverty. To earn a living he sold papers and peanuts and then became a jockey. But none of these jobs fitted in with his ambition b study law, so the dark-haired youth went to work as a hack driver. While sitting high on his hack waiting for passengers, he read his law books.
 Charlie Curtis struggle to study law attracted the attention of Judge A. H. Case, who took the boy into his office to study, Curtis was admitted to the bar ct 21. and immediately was made Judge Cases legal partner.
 At 24 he was elected county at tOrney. and as prosecutor it was his duty to enforce the new Kan nos prohibition law. His courage in prosecuting influential men for violating the law made him fam one despite his youth.
