HOSPITAL GUILD DANCE SATURDAY, MAY 12 'BM. Behrends Co., Inc. “Juneauw’s Leading Department Store” ARRIVED HERE 50 YEARS AGD |Local Pioneer Has Spent; Half Century in Mining Areas of North Thomas H. Ashby, pioneer mia- ‘mg man of Alaska, is today cele- | brating the fiftieth anniversary of | his arrival in Juneau. He has re- | sided in the north ever since that time and was in the Yukon more than a decade before the Klondikg was discovered. fla i Mr. Ashby, his brother, Oscar, and three nephews of Richard T. Harris, who with Joe Juneau dis- covered gold here, landed in Juneau on May 11, 1884, all of them coming from Missouri upon receipt of the word of the discavery. Remaining here but two yeus,r Mr. Ashby went farther north in search of new gold fields. He was on the Stewart River, a tributary of the upper Yukon River, in 1386, and the next year found him in the thriving camp at Forty Mile. | Five years there and he pulled his stakes and went to Hootalinqua and prospected in that district until 1895 when he shifted down river to Circle. He was in that camp when word of the strike at Klcndike River came through. With Billy Leake and two other ‘old-' timers he mushed upriver over ice and landed in that camp the spring of 1897. There he remained mining’ an prospecting until the Fall® of 1 when he went to the States ta spend the winter. The next Spring || he joined the rush to Nome where for 13 years he continued in the | placer mining game. v In 1913 he returned to this city and has made his home here ever (] since. “For 40 years out of the half-century I have lived in the north, I was engaged in placer || mining and prospectihg for qunm It's a real game and I am sml going strong,” Mr. Ashby d%cmed Lodmy | in the dining room were Mrs. || William A.

It adopted a resolution that in! ithe future no high school courses lwill be offered by the Territory in communities with sufficient popu- |lation and other qualifications for incorporation who do not proceed to incorporate. This has been a moot question for several years. In the schools outside of incorporated towns, the Territory pays all of the cost of maintenance and operation of schools and provides buildings. In- corporated towns provide buildings for schools and deIray a portion of the cost. The Board last year endeavored | to have a number of. communities At Just the flavor you like best, too.
