Raised cn a large farm it was his duty to assist with the many cheres in connection with that way of life. Not an easy thing to do, he sandwiched a common school edu- cation between the seasons. When he was about nineieen a vere asthma condition forced him to seek relief in Arizona. He remained there about one year, then returned to Davenport where he ifollowed butcnering and even- tually opened a meat market in partnership with a friend. News of the big Klondike strike had filtered through from time to time so it was not long before Leo headed north to Skagway, seeking greater wealth than a small busi- ness could yield. Travelling over the White Pass and Yukon line to Whitehorse, he boarded a river steamer to Dawson—then acquired & rowboat and’ floated down the Yukon to Fortymile, From there he walked 80 miles into Franklin Gulch, joining his father and bro- ther who had preceded him by two years, and who were busily devel- oping mining property. Mines On Bcenanza The, three men, however, did not spend the winter at the Gulch but eturned to Dawson where they mined on No. 18 Below Bonanza with others in the Rock Island Mining Co. This lasted until spring and provided a ‘stake’ with which they purchased provisiens and equipment for their mining claims. Mr. Rogge followed mining and prospecting in the Fortymile for the next eleven years. Then, on a brief trip to the States, he met a friend who enthusiastically told him of gold to be found near Fairbanks. In the early spring of 1912 both headed northward from Chitna over the Richardson Trail, and the Fortymile was a thing of the past. In Fairbanks Area He first mined on the Niggerhead Association at Dome Creek for Walter Fisher (who became one of our early legislators), later he branched out to many well-known spots near Fairbanks, prospecting and mining in many famous dig- gings—the Newsbcy Mine on El- dorado, Fairbanks Creek, Discovery Claim on Pedro, two years on No. 5 above Discovery on Cleary, and five years on No. 9 Below cn Gold- stream. Forsaking bachelorhood, Leo Rogge and Mrs. Elizabeth Murray Cohee were married in Seattle on January 25, 1923, the climax of an acquaintanceship made in the In- terior. Eventually they purchased a home in Fairbanks to where Mr. Rogge had gone earlier in connec- tion with securing mining opticns on various claims. These were taken up by a well- Toronto Maplc Leafs Service — — —_— On Our And, more emazing people in a new Screen!

He has taken a great interest in the growth of the Territory, and it is his desire to see Alaska’s future based on sound laws and economic stability.
