ARE VERY SATISFACTORY
Word comes from the

ing her cargo is proceeding
very satisfactorily. The two
divers are at work getting out
Ihe miscellaneous carge con
sisting of general merchan
dise and machinery, and the
coal is beihg pumped out. with
ccntrifucal pumps. Those >n
charge plan to get ail the cargo
cut and then batten down the

l;tr with compressed air and
thus float her up on the beach
far emough to make temporary
repairs to enable her to reach
dry dock.

A CORRECTION
To correct an error in Tues
day’s Miner relative to the
handling of the mail by the
steamer Humboldt we w'ish to
say that the Humboldt has
never received any renumer
ation for handling the mails
They have been carrying it for
the benefit of the towns along
the line of travel. They have
asked that the townspeople
should see the mail is delivered
to the Post office from the
boat and vice versa. This
has been done by having a
local carrier at the rate of$l.00
a round trip north and south
bound. The city has decided
to discontinue the services and
consequently there will be no
iwtfipr mail on the Humboldt
until the Vy»lQ,f.fice authorities

ACCIDENTALLY
SHOOTS HIMSELF
News arrived from Wrangell
recently of the finding of the
remains of Dick Nestrom, an
old timer in this part of Alas
ka. He was the owner of the
gas boat Chinook and spent
many years in Petersburg and
Wrangell. F’rom the report
it appears that at an early hour
I Friday, his boat was fourfd
half submerged near the land
ing slip. After a brief inves
tigation, the body was found
half out of the cabin with a
side of his head blown off.
[The presumption is that in at
tempting to tie up his boat to
the slip be had knockec
jthe- gun down causing the ex
plosion which killed him. The
gun was found near (he bodj
with one shell empty.

i—arc:-- ♦——
One of the most important
deals in the history of Ketchi
kan for a long time came to a
close yesterday afternoon in
the offiee of Chas E. Jngersoll
attorney for the Marconi Wlre
iess Telegraph Co., and Mich
ael J. Doyle lor a twet of land
et Ch^rcuut Point covering
about forty acres with all im
provements thereon.
The deal has been in ihe air
for sometime but came to a
c.ose ysstenUSy and the deeds
been transferred and re
corded. The Company have
made nil arrangements now
and are preparing to install one
of Ihe biggest plants in the.
north here so as to be able to
talk direct with Seattle cutting
out the extra toll that has to ha
paid at this time for the relay
of messages over (he Canad
ian territory and \\’iU midoubt
dly lower the rate to a reason
able price and are going lo
make a try for commercial
messages which they are mak
ing no try for at the present
time, and with a new 23 kil
awot plant at Juneau and a
50 Kilawot plant at Seattle the
company will have a very re
liable line which can be depen
ded on much more than at pre
sent. The company have made
arrangements for an office in
Ihe new lobby of the Revilla
Hotel and will have a man
there at all hours to. receive
and dispatch messages, con
necting with the plant at Char
Coal Point with a direct tele
phone.
The company is now making
pieparations to ship the steel
and plant north and it is ex
pected to arrive on an early
boat together with a large
force of men to do the build
ing, The company will build
two “steel masts over two hun
dred feet high and all other
buildings for a wireless stat
ion of the first class and is only
one of the many examples of
the growth and prosperity of
Ketchikan that she is indeed
the first city in Alaska in more
ways than one.
