There were 75 more workmen for the
Home Railway who dropped their post
office address at Katalla, and came up
on tbe Saratoga. Some of them have
very decided opinions as to the attrac
tiveness of tbe place, and the fair deal
ing on the part of the railroad com
pany there When they came to set
tle up, fifty cents a day was deducted
from tbeir pay, it being expected pro
bably that by so doing tbe men would
not leave until tbe matter was fixed up.
In this they were disappointed, how
ever, for the only result was some tall
cussing by tbe workmen, who would
rather have lost all their pay than
stay in the burg any longer.
Tbe Saratoga arrived at Katalla la^J j
Sunday, and lias been laying there ever j
since, while the people of this city have
been cussing over the delay iu the
receipt of their mail, fresh meats, veg
etables, and fruits, it certainly is a
shame that this city has to play sec j
ond Addle to this bob-tail flush of a
town, and it is about time that a big
and generous kick was registered. Ac
cording to the Northwestern officials
at Seattle, who were interviewed by a
representative of tbe Prospector, the
Saratoga under the requirements of
her mail contract, and the announced
sailing schedule was due at Valdez the
7th, (She arrived the 12th.) (leueral
Agent McMicketi of the liue states that
hie mail contract calls for four trips a
month, and that in the past four
months, the steamers of the North
western liue have beeu late at this port
only 100 hours.

While the Saratoga was at Katalla, a
sad drowning accideut occurred. The
little gasoline lauuch Pathfinder,
which was engaged m towing a lighter, I
got. in among the breakers at the mouth j
of the “harbor,” was capsized and sunk, i
carrying down with her the men aboard, j
The exact number drowned is not j
positively known, but from the best in
formation at band, it is supposed there
were four men aboard if uot five. The
names of tb** men had not been ascer
tained when the Saratoga sailed
The mail which came on the Saratoga
brought much iu the way of informa
to the officials of the Alaska Home
Hallway, and one of the best pieces of
news was, that the Jeauie. which is ex
pected to arrive to day, brings one of
! the locomotives, and five miles of rails
for the road. The engine is rated to
haul 1025 tons, and will AH all require
ments for sometime to come, '’'he
