The Wrangell sentinel., 1929-01-31

I vada, and is here for an indefinite visit. By way of explanation 1t is useless to state that the marshaPs family Is awakened almost nightly by characters with all kinds of grievances.
 Poor Joe Jacksonl After climbing the mountains and wading muskegs for two or three days in order to ear- ture venison to turn into a little money, his cash went for Jamaica ginger and he is given 8 fine of $30 or 15 days in jail to ponder over the query whether or not Jamaica ginger is an intoxicant. If Indians must be given liquor, for mercy's sake let 1t be whiskey instead of that vile stuff, that should be used only for starting fires, or kindred purposes.
 To be routed out in the middle of the night, to work like beavers and get cold bath, to keep a boat from keeling over and filling with water. is an unpleasant experience. But this is what Messrs. Stackpole and Richardson had to do down at Vixen Inlet, the other night. The tide went out and left the Salmon resting on mud bottom.
 l J. A. Mason left on the Cottage City for New York and Pennsylvania on a business trip.
 During the absence of the steamer Clatawa at Kuiu Island, Geo. Look CT made the daily trip to the mouth of the river after fish, while Henry Dannenberg presided over the block at the Coulter market.
 l El Lyons went down to Anita Bay last Saturday to get a tank for the shingle mill, ad to tow a raft of ce- dar logs from Twelve-Mile Point. Marshal Grant also went along to do some angling. M. F. Inman and F. H. Gray went in tow to Pats Creek, where they stopped for lit- tie fishing.
 The steamer Prospector was over from Shakan during the week We were informed that the canneries at Shakan and Klawack are not get ting their packs of salmon so rapidly as would be desirable, the red fish being very scarce.
 Walter Waters came in from Hol- brook Monday night, to bring Mrs. Waters and part of the crew from the saltery. Walter says they will be busy packing and salting echoes for the balance of this month, after which halibut fishing will be taken up.
 Hon. w. Sloan, M. P. from Vancou- yer, B. O., came in on the Princess May Tuesday morning on his way up the river. MT. Sloan represents all of Northern B. O., which includes the Telegraph Creek section, and is out looking for the needs of his con- stituents. He is lover of outdoor sports and our anglers have had him out on our noted trout streams.
 Captains I. M. Hofstad, Cyrus Orr and Skog have discovered and located an immense body of rich copper ore on Chicagoff Island. They have traced it over three thousand feet in length. In one place the ledge was uncovered across for a distance of 12 feet with ore still in sight. The prop erty is about two miles from salt wa ter in a fine harbor. An excellent water power and an abundance oi timber are in the vicinity. From an assay made, the values run high. Nc doubt it will be great mining camp in the near future.
 Jorgen Berg and Christ Wedo brought into town Monday the fin est specimens of galena ore ever ex- hibited here. They found 1t while prospecting on Aaron's Creek, about twenty miles down the back chan nel. The ledge from which 1t was taken is situated about four miles from the beach and is reached by traversing a very level country. An idea of the nature of the country .ay be formed from the fact that the two men built three miles of good trail in two days. They do not know the width of the ledge, having put in but one blast, but it's length was traced ln- IL AL.
