NOTICE TO SL ^HCRIBERS
Beginning next Saturday week the
Saturday issue of the Daily Prospec
tor will be discontinued and the
Weekly Miner issued in its stead. Our
reason for making this change is on
account of the extra work involved in
getting out two papers in one day, ne
cessarily making up one out of the
other. By suspending the issue of the
Prospector and making a big Satur
day edition of eight and ten pages out
of the Miner, we will be able to get
out a much better and larger Satur
day paper, and can fill it with new
telegraph entirely. The step is one
in advance, as nearly all large metro
politan dailies feature their Satur
day paper where no Sunday edition
is issued, and we believe our read
ers will like the new management
ers will like the new arrangement
much better, As it is now the Pros
pector Is issued at 4 o’clock Saturday
and the Miner a couple of hours lat
er. This will give our readers an
up-to-the-minute paper, full of live
hews, and dejLyereii Saturday even
ing about tt o'clock. This Sill lie con
tinued throughput the winter, and if
our patrons like it better by spring
will become a permanent feature.
While our subscribers will lose one
paper a week they will get from two
to three times the news in the Miner.

According lo ;i wreck report filed '
in the local customs house today, the
gas schooner Hunter, of the westward
cod fishing fleet was wrecked on an
uncharted rock and sank within eight
minutes. The crew was forced to take
to the boats anil the men were with
out food and water for five days.
The Hunter was returning to Kod
iak with a full load of codfish. She
was running before a northeast gale
and when near Foggy ('ape struck a 1
rock. The rack does not appear on
the charts and the swell was rot i
!
breaking to give warning of its pres- i
ence. The Hunter was not retarded \
in her speed and sank within eight j
minutes, having undoubtedly torn the
entire bottom off the ship.
The crew took to the boats. The
wreck occurred at 2 a. m. on August
30th and on September 3rd they J
arrived at Ohignik, having had no j
food or water during that time.—Em- i
