Seattle, August 20.— Captain Archie McKay, master of the;
steamer Yukon which grounded on JSannah island, Alaska, in June
and became to total loss, testified before the United States marine
inspectors today that his soundings led him to believe that he was
close to the shore of L nimak island and on the propei couise to
carry the ship through Unimak pass, the gate of Bering sea. In
the dense fog he depended on soundings, and the lead showed 21
fathoms where the chart gave 45 fathoms. Government officials
who heard the testimony believe the ocean bed has been changed
by the volcanic disturbances of last year and the present, and that
it may be necessary to make a new survey of the waters in the
neighborhood of Unimak pass. Mount Shisluildin, on I nimak
island, has been active lately.______

Seattle, September a.—Late advices received in this city from
the netv Chisana mining district, via McCarthy and Cordova, are to
the effect that affairs in that part of Alaska are fast reaching a de
plorable condition, on account of the great number of men arriving
without grub supplies, and as there is little or none to be bought,
the immediate future, with winter fast approaching, doesn t possess
the rosiest hue.
It is stated that the government will be compelled to send aid
to that district, as it is reported that there are hundreds of penni
less and starving stampeders at the diggings and on the trails who
will perish if relief from some source is not at once forthcoming.
I ^ __
Fairbanks, August 20.—In a wire to Commissioner Dilion, re
ceived last evening, Commissioner Jones, of Copper Center, an
nounces that the Chisana stampede has claimed another victim in
the person of Cecil F. Beynon. The wire was as follows:
Copper Center, August IN
C. F. Beynon drowned in Christochina 10th. Body
found 10th. Was steward on Tana in July. Can you
locate his people or friends?
JONES, Commissioner.
The drowned man was well known in Fairbanks, having come
to the camp in 1011, and made it his transient place of residence
ever since. Ae had been acting steward on the steamer Tana and
quit the boat at Tatiana Crossing on her last trip, in order to go on
the stampede. His people live in St. Louis, Mo., and they will be
communicated with regarding disposition of the remains.
'TO NOT ;
Fairbanks, August 19. — To the surprise of his Fairbanks
friends, who had supposed him to be drowned, William Maher,
formerly on operator at Olnes, stepped off the gang plank of the
steamer Reliance when that boat arrived in port last night. On
account of some evidence while, while purely circumstantial, was
convincing in its way, it had been thought here that Maher and
his partner, Tom Byrne, had been thrown from their poling boat
into the waters of the Tanana, but Maher reports that Byrne is as
McCarthy, intending to take the Martha Clow on up to the new
diggings.
Maher himself came back to Fairbanks on account of having
been taken severely ill just before he and Byrne reached McCarthy
— which point they reached after hard work having left Fairbanks
on July 26. lie states that they had no accident except the loss of
one of their dogs, which got away from them one night while they
were in camp. It was the recognition of this dog by a passenger
on one of the upbound steamers which was the cause of the rumors
of drowning —the animal having been seen running loose along the
river, and an overturned boat on a bar being additional evidence.
BROKEN MACHINERY CAUSED
CIRCLE DREDSE TO SHUT DOWN
Fairbanks, August 19.—That the enterprise of tne Mastodon
Dredging Company, which concern has been engaged in dredging
operations on Mastodon creek in the Circle country, is not aban
doned, is the report of W. W. Elmer, acting consulting engineer of
the dredge, who arrived in Fairbanks from Circle yesterday, it
had been reported here that the dredge had closed down because
the ground was not good enough, and because the company was
not able to pay the men.
Contrary to tne report received here, says Mr. Elmer, the
dredge was working in fair ground when it closed down, and was
paying up everything. The report came out when the front tum
bler and a large gear wheel on the machinery broke down, some of
which parts are not obtainable in the North unless they can be se
cured at Dawson, in which case the dredge will resume operations
within the next two weeks._ __
