LAUNCH CAPTAIN
PICKS UP FORTUNE
Crew of Gas Boat Taku II. Succeed
In Towing Wreck of Delhi
Into Safer Port.
Recent dispatches from Wrangell
stated that the wreck of the steam
ier Delhi, which went ashore In Sum
ner Strait, close to Wrangell, had
gone to the bottom with $15,000 worth
of machinery belonging to the wreck
er Salvor. The Salvor was working
on the Delhi and had her in good
position when she was forced to seek
shelter from a storm, leaving her
pumps, hose and other machinery in
the wreck.
me storm lasted ror two days and
when the Salvor returned to the scene
not a vestige of the Delhi was to be
seen and it was believed she had
slipped from the rocks and sank in
600 feet of water. The Salvor re
ported the loss and started south
ward. I
Now comes the news that the wreck
did not sink but floated off the rocks
and was carried down through Sum
ner Strait where she brought a for
tune to Captain James Sayles and
Carl Lancaster of the Taku II. They
immediately hooked a line to the Del
hi and despite the fierce storm which
was raging stayed with the job for
two days, finally landing the Delhi in
a safe harbor where she is resting
on a mud bottom.
It is estimated that the men will
receive nearly $100,000 for their prize
as the wreck was abandoned by the
underwriters on February 6, before
being picked up by the gas boat crew.
The hull as it lies is estimated to be
worth $75,000, her boilers and en
gines alone having cost that sum.
Added to this is the $15,000 worth
of wrecking machinery from the Sal
vor. The vessel has three large holes
in her starboard side and was sub
merged to within three feet of her
starboard side when found. The main
deck and hatches are out of water
now at low tide.
NEW OFFICIAL IS
ON THEJARIPOSA
Judge W. A. Munley, whose name
appears on the list of the Mariposa
passengers as cabled from Seattle to
day, comes as assistant district at
torney in this division to Judge W.
N. Spence, to succeed Guy Brubak
er, who resigned.
Mr. Munley received his appooint
■ment from the Department of Justice
although it was reported that sever
al well-known Alaskan attorneys were
desirous of securing the position to
tide them over until the legal busi
ness, in company with all other lines,
should revive in Alaska. Mr. Munley,
it is understood, comes from Port
land, Oregon.
Mr. Brubaker tendered his resig
nation to District Attorney Spence
some time ago and will engage in the
practice of law in Valdez after his
successor has qualified.
ADMIRAL EVANS IS
DUE ATUTONIGHT
The Admiral Evans, which passed
to the westward last Monday, going

passengers from Valdez to the states.
DR. MUSSO WILL

Dr. and Mrs. Musso will leave on

neau and will reiurn to Valdez on
one of the first steamers coming
north. Dr. Musso Is the New York
inventor who has so successfully test
ed his device for talking over the
cable between Valdez and Cordova.
A slight difficulty has been exper
ienced in securing results over the
cable to Sitka and Juneau and Dr.
Musso will install a special appar
atus which is expected to overcome
the difficulty and make telephony pos
sible from Valdez to Juneau.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 25.—Excite- .
ment spread over the great fair .
grounds this morning when a stick
of dynamite was found with a fuse
attached in the Japanese exhibit at
the fair. The fuse had been lighted

fore reaching the explosive. Detect
ives of the exposition are keeping
