Aii inquest was held al Wil
low creek last night on the body
of the unknown man which was
found about live hundred yards
from the Willow Creek roadhouse
and about lifty yards from the
government trail. The body had
been hidden in brush and -the
man had been dead about two or
three months. The body was in
such a condition from its long

into the brush after death and
the pockets of the pants wore
turned inside out. A rope had
been tied around his legs in or
der to drag the body to its place
of concealment.
A watch was picked up between
the body and the trail which bears
the name of a jeweler in Prince
Rupert and the number. If the
man came to his death through
robbery his murderers overlook
ed a roll of bills which were car
ried in his shirt pocket. The bills
are mostly Canadian hank issues'
and amount to $640.00.
A number 2'2-Winchester rille
was standing against a hush
close to the head of the body.
There was a discharged cartridge
in the rille. Beside the body was

HAS SOME UP
Strike of British Columbia Coal
... c“ ....
Miners Causes Serious Short
age of Fuel.
* ■
The Valdez Dock company re
ceived on the steaiu freighter
Cordova seventy-one tons of
Rosslyn coal, although they had
ordered 200 toils. Rosslyn coal
costs Ihe company $1.55 more a
ton than was formerly paid for
the Nanaimo coal and the com-,
pany has accordingly raised the
price of this shipment from $12.
50 to $14.00. This, however, is
not a permanent raise and only
effects the Rosslyn coal.
diaries Kraemer, manager of
the Valdez Dock company, states
that hfs company has experien
ced much difficulty in securing
coal since the strike in British
Columbia was started. The price
of Newcastle and Nanaimo coal
has not been raised but the com
pany can secure lnit little good
domestic coal. The present in
crease applies only to the ship
ment of '.seventy-one tons of
Rosslyn coal, and as soon as
Newcastle or Nanaimo coal is se
cured Ihe price will he as hereto
fore. miles si he mine operators
raise Hit* wholesale price.
All the Pacific coast cilies have
experienced much difficulty in
securing coal the past summer
and shipping has materially suf
fered: much coal has been im
ported from Japan and Austra
lia at considerable expense.
II is is not expected that lln*
present shortage will be relieved
until the Nanaimo strike is|sel
tied.
