II UTTLE BOATJJU LONG TRIP
The chief arrival on the
waterfront today was the little
steamer Arctic, owned by the
United States Mercantile com
pany of Nome, on her way to
Nome. The little vessel is an
oil burner a little over sixty
four feet in length with a 7b
horse power fore and aft com
pound engine and makes about
seven and one-half knots per
hour- This is her first trip,
having been built this season
at Ballard. The Arctic will be
operated during the open sea
son on the St. Michael-Kotze
bue Sound route, and may run
out of this port during the win
ter to Wrangell via West Coast
points, but this latter run is
not as yet assured. According
to Ira I). Rank, the manager of
the 1J. S. Mercantile company,
who, with his wife, is a pas
senger on the boat, Uie Arctic
is a fine little sea boat, making
good work of rough water. She
has accommodations for IS
passengers and is in command
of Capt. Otterson. On account
of more oil being consumed
than figured on, the Arctic will
have to remain here until she
can get oil off either the Ala
meda or the Alki, some time lo
night or tomorrow and then
proceed to Treadwell where
she will oil lip for th# long run
to Cordova.

SHOOTING AT DOUGLAS
Sunday morning at 2 o’clock
Frank Sundell, a young jewelry
salesman, accidently shot and
killed Ruby Scott, a resident of
the Douglas restricted district,
and when he saw that the shot
had proved fatal, turned the
weapon upon himself and sent
a bullet through his own heart.
Sundell and the Scolt woman
were scuffling in a playful man
nor, neither one of (hem in
toxicated, both were laughing
heartily and in the best of hu
mor when Sundell tried to
catch the woman in his arms.
She play fully shoved him hack
and he reached into his hip
pocket and pulled out a Colt's
2“) caliber automatic revolver
and aimed it at the woman's
face. Iri some way the wea
pon was discharged and the b'd
let entered the woman’s mouth
which was open with laughter,
and she fell to the floor.
Spectators arrived upon the
scene and some one asked who
shot the woman, and Sundell
answered “I did, it was an ac
cident,” and the people presenl
•were then startled by the sound
of a muffled report of a revol
ver, he having pulled the trig
ger of the pistol that he had
pressed to his breast. The bul
let entered at the left nipple
and penetrated the heart and
the man fell over on the floor
dead.
In the meantime Ruby Scott
was bathed in a torrent of
blood, the bullet ranging down
ward arid no doubt severing an
artery, and before a physician
could arrive she was dead.

Different Phases of The Attack on Sulzerj
I
Albany, Aug. 14—Friends of
Governor Sulzer deny (he rigid
of the special session of the
state legislature to impeach
him. They claim that the leg
islature was convened for a
specific purpose, the enactment
ol legislation applying only
to needed reforms in the
laws on stock dealing and Wall
Street matters generally, and
so have no right to attempt im
peachment of any official. Tak
ing this stand they claim that
he is still in fact governor in
spite of the action of the leg
islature, which would remove
him from office pending the
impeachment hearing.
Portland, Aug. 14—Thomas
Lawson, who is in this city en
route* from New York to his
ranch for a vacation, hearing of
the charges against Sulzer com
ing from Lawson's old time
enemies, this morning wired to
Gov. Sulzer offering to contrib
ute $J 00,000.00 to assist him
in his fight against Tammany
and Wall Street, tfe also of
fered to he one of twenty
live men to raise two and one
half million dollars in addition
to the above, even though Sul
zer loses out, to oust those be
hind the attack on Sulzer whom
tic considers ttie most corrupt
gang that the United States has
ever seen.
New York, Aug. I t—Two gov
ernors reported for duty at Al

Sulzer ami l,ieut-Governor Mar

their time, and it is unlikely
that, either will undertake any
important business until their
status has been decided.
Albany, Aug. 1-4—Mrs. Sulzer

The flume from the dam a

THE LATEST NEWS
FROM SHUSHANNA
Cordova, Aug. 12—There is
no truth in the report that was
sent out from here yesterday
recording the loss of lives on
the trail according to Chief of
Police Ifenneckc who arrived
here las night from the new
gold diggings on Shushanna.
11c, says that there is a short
age of food and all mining
tools are prizes as none are to
be had for any price. Many
miles of good streams not far
distant from discovery are not
yet located but that all claims
in the immediate vicinity arc
taken and that claim jumping
and food stealing is causing
much trouble in the camp
which make it necessary to
send a deputy marshal and a
commissioner there as soon as
possible with a knowledge of
law. Chief Hennecke passed
many big outfits on the way
out and as soon as they are at
work he predicts some big
strikes.

SIMPLY WENT ON STRIKE
Gambier Bay Jim was found
not guilty of blackmail by Com
missioner Marshall, at Juneau,
last Saturday afternoon, and
the alleged crime was found to
be merely a strike.
Jim was arrested three or
four days ago onlhe theory that
he had placed a spell on the
cannery at Gambier Bay, and
silenced the hum of the ma
chinery. The trouble started
over (he character of the fish
the Indian potentate brought
to the cannery—the fish was
finally so bad that the cannery
was unable to use it and Jim
wit- so informed.
Following this refusal to ac
cept his wares, Gambier Bay
Jim presented his ultimatum to
.Superintendent Teal, lie placed
over the cannery what was sup
posed to be a spell, and all the
natives refused to work.
Attorney Burton, who repre
sented the defendant, convinced
tiie court that the fish vender
although he is a big medicine
rnan with the tribe, had exer
cised no criminally occult prae
tires, but had merely inaugura
ted a modern strike, and in
view of the case the defendant
was discharged. The cannery
is still closed.

ditions remain pretty much (tie

ands of boxes of dynamite
much of which they have plant -
ed in various places and threat
en to light the fuses in case an
attack is made on them by the
militia. They also have several
of the most prominent mining
operators held practically as
hostages, holding them in their
own houses under guard and!
threatening to blow houses and;
occupants into kingdom come, j
In the neighborhood of five
thousand men are implicated
and owing to tho disbanding of
llie Canadian navy some time
ago, it will be a difficult task
to gel together a sufficient
force to handle them unless Hie
Itriiisli troops are called out. A
rumor comes from Ladysmith
that two deputies were so bad

who will be the engineer in
charge of the properties has
but just returned from England
where the headquarters of the
company are. He states that
his plans include the immediate
installation of a four drill com
pressor plant to operate with
water power. This will he
used to thoroughly prospect
and develop the property, which
it. is expected will probably
take a year. If at the end of
that time the property shows
merit of a substantial nature,
proved by the year’s work, then
an immense plant will be in
stalled for the mining and the
treatment of the ore, which it
is expected will be on a very
large scale This company,
which is a subsidiary branch of
one of England’s largest min
ing concerns, has fried the
property pretty thoroughly and
feels that it is warranted in the
outlay, as the assays Indicate
that the property is a good one.
Mr. Leahy is a well-known
English mining man. having
mined extensively on every one
of the continents, and is en
tering his new field of oper
ations confident that the values
are there and that the “Old
Glory’’ group will make a name
for itself in the mining history
of Alaska.
Ketchikan is indeed to be
congratulated on the coming of
this company which has gone
into the matter quietly and
stands ready to put in its
thousands to develop a mine
This is the kind of work need
ed for the development of the
flistrict which has as good
prospects as any in all the
Northland. All that is needed
is capital and the good will of
the community to give us not
one but half a dozen big pro
ducers who will make the Ket
chikan mining district the first
in every respect in all Alaska.
