Behrends Co.; Juneaw’s OLD RUSSIAN MARKER FOUND AT SITA SITE Forest Service Excavation Reveals Monument Des- ignating 12th Station One of the most important his- torical, relics uncovered by the For- est Service thus far in the excava- tion work it is doing at old Sitka, known by the original Russians as New Archangel, is an iron monu- ment located about two and a half feet. underground at the site of the old Russian fort. At the top of the marker, which is nine inches square, is a bronze cross which pointed due north and gouth. A strip of bronze across the center bears a Russian inscription declaring the site to be a Russian possession and at the bottom is “No. 12" in bronze, probably indi- cating that New Archangel was the 12th station the Russians had founded in this country. The monument or plate was en- cased in four large bricks, two be- low and two above, each brick measuring ten and one half inches in length, five and a fourth inches in width and two inches thick. An Some 800 specimens have been taken from the ruins of the old Russian fort by the Forest Service since it began the interesting work last October and it is expected many other intaresting things will be uncovered. The site is about six miles from. the present Sitka and is the location of the fort which was laid in ruins by the Sitka In- dians on July 24, 1802, after they had massacred nearly all the Rus- sian inhabitants. The monument is now Forest Service office on the fourth| floor of the Federal and Territor- ial building and those interested are free to inspect it, C. H. Flory, Regional Forester, announced. MINE SAFETY MAN WILL ARRIVE SOON C. O'Connell, Senior Safety In- structor for the U. S.
