The crew made their way to Unga, am
were picked up by the Dom nil

sold for $100, but there ih very little
chance of saving anything, as there an
no facilities on the island, and sh<
lies in such a position that the firs
storm will break her to pieces.

Kenny’s pet lynx, captured last wintei
slipped its collar recently, and it tool
the whole Bouauza force, aided bj

good cause, the greater part of ot.e
night to recapture it.
The survey party leo by L. M. Price
has moved camp to the island near the
big pothole at the foot of Kennicotc
glacier and is extending the railroad
survey in two directions, toward th»
Bonanza lower claims and the Lakina
Unlike the preliminary survey of last
year which followed the river bars, the
present line .-trikes oti obliquely fron.
the Kennicott in a westerly direction
across the Meadows, 1,0 called, and its
objective point is the mouth of the
Cbittyna. This course, it is thought,
will save nearly ten miles of construc
tion, but will entail an increased ex
penditure for bridges, as nearly all the
streams encountered will be cros.-ed
above their canyons. In addition to
Mr. Price and his assistant, John C.
Hyer. the survey party comprises T.
W. Secrisr, Will II. Vandewort, Kaj
