For Better Rubbers
Don’t ask for “Pacs” but ask for
THE “BALL-BAND” YUKON
especially designed and built
fot the nea of Alaska.
Only the best quality of pure gum rubber is used and the
shoe is vulcanized by Special Process, thoroughly uniting
all parts of the upper, the sole, the stays and linings into
a one-piece construction that defies hard wear. The
sturdy rubber bottom is well reinforced where other
rubbers soon wear through.
Rubbers built like these will stand freezing, scuffing,
stubbing and the daily grind of working in rock or wet
gravel.
Set a pair of “Ball-Band” Yu
kons beside a pair of any other
brand—compare the finish and
the workmanship — you can
easily see that the “Ball-Band”
shoe is superior.
Then remember that “Ball
Band” footwear is worn by nine
and one-half million people, who
have learned by experience that
the Red Ball trade-mark stands
for the utmost in quality,
service, and satisfaction, j

TREASURE SHIP ISLANDER SOON TO BE RAISED
Juneau, July 28. - The Empire says: Bringing word that, the Deep
Sea Salvage Company had completed plans for the raising of the
Princess Sophia, as well as the treasure ship Islander, wrecked in
1901. opposite Douglas Island, by hitting an iceberg duringthe
night, C. B. Dawson, jr., treasurer of the company, arrived in
Juneau recently on the Alameda to confer with his brother, A. J.
Dawson, who has charge of this end of the work
Mr. Dawson also brought the information that the company had
disposed of the services of Robert Smith, the diver, under whose
name the work was being done. His place as diver will be taken
bv Selmer Jacobson, a Juneau diver.
Six barges, three tugs and general equipment necessary to raise
the Princess Sophia will arrive in Juneau for the Deep Sea Salvage
Company during this month.
After the work is begun, I believe it will take about 30 days to
finish the job,” Mr. Dawson said. "It is our intention to patch her
up here, then take her to Seattle to be repaired.
"We intend to do more salvage work in Alaska, the next prob
ably the Islander. We have in our outfit a submarine dredging de
vise with which to work in deep water, and I believe we will be
able to raise the boat. Both Prof. Eastwood, mechanical engineer
of the University of Washington, and R H. Thomson, formerly
city engineer of Seattle, have judged it thoroughly practical. If
we attempt this work this season I will return to Juneau this sum
mer,” said Mr. Dawson before leaving for Seattle.
With a cargo estimated to be valued at more than $1,000,000, tiie
Canadian Pacific Navigation Company’s ship Islander was sunk on
the morning of August 15, 1901, between Douglas and Admiralty
islands. The boat went down lb minutes after it struck an iceberg.
Thirty nine people were lost in the wreck. The boat was valued
j at $170,000. An examination of it was made some time ago by a
diver of Henry Finch & Sons, submarine divers of Seattle.
