KDDI HIT BY
NINETY MILE GALE
Residents of Westward Points are K\
cited Over Placer Gold Strike
Near Cold Ray.
Passengers on the Alameda yester
day morning from the westward re
port that there is considerable excite
ment among the people the westward
over a placer gold strike which has
been made near Cold Bay, but as the
Dora brought no passengers from that
locality little new information was
learned regarding the strike. It is
known however, that the trader at
Cold Bay sent thirty ounces of gold
to one 6f the Seward banks. The gold
!s said to have been taken from a
stream near Cold Bay by two trap
pers, who employed their spare time
in prospecting. «
It is known that the district where
the discovery is reported to have been
made is included in the gold belt as
described by the Geological Survey
and miners hope that with extensive
prospecting that some rich ground
will be uncovered.
The officers of the Dora reported
in Seward that Kodiak had been hit
by a ninety mile gale last week while
the vessel was there. Later the steam
er was storm bound for three days in
Marmot Straits and the wireless op
erator reported that the gale had
maintained a velocity of 60 or 66
miles an hour for three days.
There were a number of passengers
awaiting the Dora at Seward who
were en route to their homes at far
westward points.
FREIGHTER LEFT

Seward Completes Repairs at Ca

The officers of the freighter Cordo
vo report that the freighter Seward
which had been forced to put into La
touche for repairs while en route
from Seattle to Vladivostok, had com

ed again for the westward at noon on
Saturday last.
The Seward had been chartered
from the Alaska Steamship company
by the big shipping firm of Frank
Watterhouse & Co., to make several
trips between Puget Sound and the
Russian port to carry shipments pur
chased in the United States by the
Russian government.
wni'.e coming up mu coast on uw
great circle to Vladivostok the
freighter encountered a hurricane
which caused her steering gear to
break. The vessel went sidewayE in
the trough of the sea while tempo
rary repairs were being made and was
swept by a tremendous wave, which
carried away a part of her deck load.
Three of the crew wore carried over
board-but were rescued after being in
the icy water for nearly an hour.
When the Alameda went to La
touche she replenished the water sup
ply of the Seward aud enabled her to
again start on her way. The cargo
of the Seward is said to be valued at
$1,500,000, several hundred tons of
which Is composed of 94 per cent
dynamite which will be used by the
Russian government In the manufac
ture of sheds with which to equip its
army.
From Seward the freighter expect
ed to reach the Russian port in 12
or 13 -days unless she encountered
rough weather.
