HUNGRY WINTER FOR
NATIVES ON CHANDALAR

This is a hungry winter for the
natives on the North Fork and the
Middle Fork of the Chandalar," as
cording to Roy Smith, a prospector,
who returned to Fairbanks recently.
There were no caribou in that
region this year and even the
wolves are desperate.
Smith brought the remnant of a
black wolf he had caught in trap,
but other wolves had eaten most all
of their trapped brother. In sim
liar manner the trapper lost three
silver foxes, the trapped animals be-
ing torn up by hungry wolves.
While Smith and Brown were
trapping on Our Creek tributary to
the North Fork of the Chandalar,
they killed a snow-white bear. Smith
took pictures of the animal, an al
bino of the grizzly family. Brown
took the bearskin and made himself
a pair of pants. The skin measured
six feet from tip to tip.

WOLVES GET CARIBOU
RICHARDSON HIGHWAY

Three wolves killed and ate a
cow caribou several days ago within
$50 feet of the Richardson Highway,
half mile from Richardson. They
deVoured practically all of the ami
mails except the skin and bones, and
apparently at one meal.
The bloody remains were found,
shortly after the caribou met its
fate, by Forest Lyons, trapper liy-
ing four miles from Richardson. He
first saw the caribou tracks and
tracked them to the place of the
kill.
The three wolves had been seen
in the vicinity several times of late
The report of the killing of the car
ibou was brought from Richardson
by Roy Lund, mail contractor.

ALASKA MINERAL PRODUCTION
IN 1888 ESTIMATED 81 MILLION

The minerals produced from AL
aska mines in 1898 had an esti-
mated value of $27,036, accord
ing to a preliminary statement of
the United States Department of the
Interior, prepared by Philip S.
Smith, of the Alaskan branch of
the Geological Survey. This amount
brings the total value of the mineral
output of Alaska since 1880 to more
than $4,000, 1000.
Outstanding achievements in the
Territory, described in the state
ment are:
The estimated amount of gold
produced from Alaska mines in 1898
exceeds in value that for any other
year in Alaskan history, with the
single exception of 1906.
Increasing use of mechanical
equipment was noteworthy even at
the smaller plants. In addition to
A gold dredges there were draglines
bulldozers, and engines for all sorts
of work in operation in practically
every placer district in the Terri
tory.
The enormous increase in the
output of platinum metals from AL
aska deposits in 1898, due largely
to operations in the Goodnews dis
trict, forms 1one of the notable min
ing events of the year, placing the
Territory either third or fourth in
the list of five or six countries that
together produce almost the entire
world supply of platinum metals.
The estimated output of coal from
Alaska mines in 1888 has been ex-
ceeded during only one year since
coal mining has been carried on in
the Territory, the year 1896, and
then by less than 1 900 tons. In view
of the preliminary character of the
records for 1898, it is by no means
certain that complete returns will
not prove that this difference il
even less. or actually reversed,

NEAR RACE RIOT
AT TALLADEGA
COLLEGE

TALLADEGA, Ala, Feb. s (ANP)
Race relations in this peaceful little
Alabama area where Talladega col
lege is located haye been a bit
strained in recent weeks, but school
and city officials are hoping for an
early return to normalcy.
The current unrest began some
months ago when a white man en-
deavored to rob the comptroller's
office. The schools night watchman
caught HIM after shooting the in
truder in the leg. White people
about the town, small village near
the school, were a bit indignant
about the shooting, even though the
police department backed the watch
man. There was some talking about
blowing up one of the buildings. A
little later the barn belonging to the
college did burn down rather mys-
teriousiy, causing some thousands OF
dollars worth Of damage. There
was no evidence pointing to the
origin Of the fire.
Then two weeks ago, there was q
bit Of disturbance at the local
theatre, which has a section for its
colored patrons. Because of the
tension, The girls were not allowed
| to attend this particular show be-
cause ii was a midnight perform
ance, but few college boys went.
| A little fracas arose between the
colored and white crowd, composed
almost entirely of toWnsfolk. a
college boy was struck by the police
| and the boy fell back on white wo-
man knocking her nearly under a
car.
The student body talked the situa-
! tion over and at present is refrain
| ing from attending the theatre. Any

would be much more quickly solved,
