nlent.

MARRIED-In Seattle on Thurs
day, May 8, 1928, Clarence King of
Seattle and Miss Queenie Sumption
of Wrangell, Alaska.
The bride came north on the Yu-
kon for a short visit in Wrangell.
Next month she will return to Seat
tie where she will be joined by Mr..
King. The couple will make a trip
to eastern Washington after which
they will return to Seattle to make
their home in that city. The news of
the wedding came as a surprise to
the Wrangell friends of the bride.
Mr.. King is a young man in the early
twenties who spent last summer in
Alaska aboard the Explorer. At the
present time he is employed by the
Seattle Steel Works.

BODY OF SHELVICK IS FOUND

The body of Bill shelyick who had
been missing since April Is was
found last Sunday in the bay back of
William Berger's woodshed. The
discovery was made by John Mason.
an Indian of Kake
Shelyick was supposed to have fall
en- overheard from a small boat near
the Mccormack Dock two weeks ago
when his hat and empty skiff we're
found. The U. S. Commissioner issued
an order for a searching party which
was unsuccessful When the body
was finally discovered afloat it was
some distance from where the drown
ing is supposed to have occurred.
The verdict of the coroner's jury
was that death was caused by acct
dental drowning. The jury was COM
posed of A. Vreatt, S Cunningham,
]. G. Grant, H. Ferguson, Vernon
Myers, ]. G. Smith.
L. NJ Churchill was appointed ad-
ministrator of the estate.

Returns to Haines

John H. Richardson, who spent
several years at Lake Bay and who
later went to Haines, was aboard the
Admiral Rogers Sunday morning en-
route to Haines to assume charge Of
the canning of the Haines Packing
Company. He says the plant is small
but is equipped with the most up-to
date machinery. The company plans
to put up a pack of 10000 cases of
reds this season. Mr.. Richardson
says he still takes an interest in what
is going on in Wrangell and vicinity
and it is for that reason that he con-
tinues to subscribe for the Wrangell
Sentinel.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1928-05-10

It is quite within the possibilities
that with the great demand through
out Canada from Wrangell to Peace
River for a railroad. that an inter
national road instead of one all Cana
dian would be acceptable. in which
case the water route down the Iskut
river would be the desirable one, es-
pecially as almost unlimited water
power is available for the generation
of electricity.
The bonding of the Iskut property
is the justification of the faith and
persistence of a small group of Wran-
CELL men who made their first loea-
ton in 1906, Ed Weber. Alex Yreatt
and Guy Carson being the prospectors
under grub stake. Their hackers
were F. E. Bronson, P. C. McCor-
mack, George H. Whitney, John Ma
loney, Bruno Greff, c. M. Coulter and
E. S. Busby. OF these, Mr.. Grief and
Mr. Coulter are deceased. Mr. Busby
disposed of his holdings, one-half
each to Capt. Whitney and ]. G.
Grant.
In 1917 the owners decided to in
corporate to avoid possible litigation
which might be caused by death
among their number and did so under
the laws of the Territory of Alaska.
As the company now stands, Capt
Whitney owns Z shares; F. E.
Bronson, P. C. Mccormack, Coulter
Estate. Alex Vreatt, one share each,
and J. G. Grant, one-half share.
The terms of payment are spread
over four years, the final payment
being due in 1882. In case the prop
erty is accepted on July Is, 1928, Mr..
Trites is under contract to have a
working force on the ground 40 days
after that date and to prosecute work
continuously.
1t is a matter of eongratulation to
Wrangell that Mr.. Bronson has been
able to interest in this property so
potent a force in mining matters as
Mr.. Trites. whose unparalleled sue
cess in bringing the Premier mine
into the first rank of the worlds
mines has made him an international
figure in mining.

TRAFFIC HAZARDS
GROW MORE SERIOUS

WASHINGTON Traffic hazards
of American streets continue to grow
more serious, with the indication
that automobile deaths for the year
will again pass the twenty-five thou

for II cities made public yesterday,
show that for the year ending April
21st, 1906 persons died as the result
of motor accidents. an increase of
305 over last year.

PROPERTY OF ISKUT MINING
COMPANY IS BONDED FOR
QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS
Papers Signed IN Wrangel1 Monday Whereby
Amos Bliss Trites of Vancouver, B. c.
Acquires Control of Property

A business deal of great impor-
lance to Wrangell was contaminated
this week when papers were signed
whereby Amos Bliss Trites bonded
for a quarter of a million dollars, the
property of the Iskut Mining Com
pany, a corporation of local people
who have been active in bringing TO
crown grant on the Iskut River in
British Columbia, thirteen mineral
claims which they hope will develop
into a mine rivaling the famed Pre-
mier which has made Mr.. Trites the
leading mining man of the Pacific
coast.
The Iskut property is located on
the eastern contact of the coast gran
ite with the interior limestone. This
mineral belt apparently persists
from the lower part of British Column
bia, through the Portland Canal, the
Iskut. the Atlin country with the
Engineer minel and far north of
Keno Hill where the Treadwell peo-
pie are now operating successfully
and the Consolidated Mining and
Smelling Company of Trail, B. C,
are developing further mines.
The deposit on the Iskut shows
high values in gold. silver, copper
and lead. A smelter test of surface
rock made in 1909 at Ladysmith
showed values of SAIL, which pick
ing of rock would greatly increase.
This property has been considered SO
remote that it has been hard to direct
attention to it. It is, in fact, only a
mile distant from the channel of the
Iskut river, and about 70 miles from
Wrangell. A comparatively slight
improvement of the Iskut river by
the Dominion government would
make this stream capable of carry
ing any tonnage which could be
floated on the Stikine river, as the
volume flow is practically the same
as that of the Stikine and quite capa-
BILE of securing a deep water channel
If confined Any such powerful party
as Mr.. Trites would have slight diff
Guilty in influencing the Dominion
government to make this improve
ment

BODY CHRISTIAN sCHEFFsTAD
IS FOUND BY INDIAN

The body of Christian seheffstad.
citizen of Wfangell who has been
missing since 1923. was found on
Woronofsd Island near Elephants
Nose, last Friday by Frank Kashakes.
an Indian Of Ketchikan who was
hunting grouse IN thar vicinity The
gruesome discovery vas made in
thiekly wooded SPOT about 800 years
from the beach There was little left
of the remains other than the skeIaz
ton and rotted clothing. However.
the moss covered alp boots were iu
fair state Of preservation.
Kashakes came into town and re-
ported the matter at the courthouse.
I. S Deputy Marshal II. d. Camp
bell, IN company with capt. X. ].
Johansen aud Ole Johnson ana the
Indian. proceeded to the Elephants
Nose for the purpose of bringing the
skeleton into town. As soon as the
Deputy Marshal returned the Il. S.
Commissioner summoned a coroner's
jury and an inquest was held
Among the rotted clothing was
found a watch. pocket knife lead
pencil. box Of matches. aud an empty
cartridge she'll His rifle, with its
stock covered with noss. was lying
alongside when the skeleton was dis
covered. The rifle contained an emp
Y cartridge shell
The skull was missing although
the lower jaw was lying at the top Of
the skeleton.
In May. 1923. a skull was found
near the Elephants Nose by a party
of grouse hunters composed of W. f.
Lawrence Taylor and William Lewis.
II. The skull was sent to the Smith
sonian Institution for examination
and an opinion The examination
was made by DR.. A Hrdlicka. cura-
tor of Physical Anthropology, who
reported that the specimen was the
posterior of the skull of a man some
what over so years of age
sheffstad was said to be about 81
years of age at the time of his dis
appearance.
The coroner's jury found no eYi-
denee of foul play. The verdict of
the jury was that ii view of the cir
eumstances surrounding the case the
body was evidently that of Christian
sheffstad, a native of Norway and
that he came to his death from causes
unknown The coroner's Jury was
composed of Capt. K. J. Johansen,
Ole Johnson, L. NJ Churchill, Harry
Swift, and J. W Pritchett.
Mr. sheffstad was an uncle of Mrs.
Ernest P. Walker whose husband was
for number of years at the head of
the U. S. Biological Survey in Alaska.

Mrs. Hazelton hopes eventually to
have branches of the Alaska Forget
Me-Nots in the leading cities of the
Pacific Coast. These branches would
be bureaus or clearing houses of Al
askan information. In addition to
large numbers of Alaskan pictures
there would be libraries containing
only books relating to Alaska which
would be available to any one inter
ested.
AS a booster for Alaska Mrs. Ha-
zelton is almost equal to John Hoop

Canadian Affiliated Associations.
She predicts that at no distant date
southeastern Alaska will become the
summer playground of the North
western section of the United States.
She predicts that in less than ten
years the people of Seattle will come
to southeastern Alaska for their sum-
mer vacation as a matter of course.
