All the Ore Wai Frozen in the Bunk
ers, and as the Ship Needed Sal
last She Was Forced to Walt.
The steamer Alameda, of the Alas
ka Steamship line, was delayed at
Latouche loading ore, as the bunk
ers had become frozen and the ore
would not run until steam had been
turned into them. The boat was at
the copper mine for 14 hours waiting
for enough ore for ballast, as Captain
Warner did not care to take the ship
south with a light cargo because of
the inconvenience to passengers when
the boat crosses the Gulf of Alaska
from Hinchinbrook to Spencer.
A large number of passengers left
for the outside.

Butterworth Finishes Annual Assess
ment Work on Horseshoe Bay
Mining Claims.
F. Butterwojrth, mining engineer,
returned to Valdez on the Alameda
from Lalouclie, where he had com
pleted the 1913 annual assessment
work on the Reynolds-Alaska Devel
opment company claims, located al
Horseshoe.
The work consisted of driving tun
| nels along the vein and also cross
I culling the ledge. A large crew of
; men was required as the work was
' delayed because of inability to secure
| transportation to the mine from Val
I dez, after the orders came from the
! main office at New' York to have the
j work performed.
i The Horseshoe claims are reported
i to be very valuable and the com
j pany also own a water right of con
siderable value. The Beat son mine
adjoins the Horshoe claims of the
company.
A snowslide on December 21 was
caused by the heavy rains which pre
vailed all through the sound at that
time, wiping out the big trestle across
the creek between the power house
j and the bunk house. The damage
j is estimated t $300.
