DAN KENNEDY, - GOLD PACKER,
 VISITS HERE
Carried Largest Dust Load in Alaska History, Fair
 banks to Valdez

Genial Dan Kennedy, Alas k a pioneer, let other men moil for gold in the long summer sunshine, but Kennedy, man experienced with horses, an eye for business, un- assailable honesty and courage, made his money another way.
 When Dawson was booming, Ken nedy freighted tn usands upon 1 thousands of dollars in precious gold dust from the creeks to the Dawson vaults. When he moved on to Fairbanks, he continued his business.
 Fairbanks was roaring camp Three banks were taxed to capacity 1 with a steady stream of gold dust and nuggets coming in. The loaded vaults were opened and $750,000 in gold was turned over to Dan Kennedy to freight to Valdez by horse drawn stage over winter snow.
 On November 19, with this largest gold shipment in Alaska's gilded history, Dan Kennedy started out over the $50 miles of tundra. river l hill and mountain for Valdez. He used thirteen horses, four in relay at yost
 He had seven armed guards with him. and besides the gold, eight ] passengers. The roadless snows were negotiated in twelve days. The last five miles, through Keystone Can- yon. were made by another four l horse team outfit from Valdez, for the passengers, and Kennedy and his guards put the cargo of gold aboard the horses and walked a pack train load in with a record breaking cargo
 ! For that fabulous shipment, Ken nedy posted no bond but his word and in his entire experience at packing gold shipments, he never lost a bit of currency or grain i of gold dust.
 In Juneau today, after arriving i here on the Alaska this morning for few days visit before con- tinuing on to the Outside for the winter, Dan Kennedy, a man who made history in Alaska, was more enthused over his "one hundred and thirty dollar" rifle with its fancy limiting scope than his early trail experiences.

Wild life agents of the Alaska Game Commission reported similar throngS of hunters all the way out the road.
 Teal predominated in the open ing day flights with a sprinkling of mallards and sprigs. More geese than usual were sighted, but few taken One party reported taking three at Eagle River.
