Makes Trip From Unalaska to
Valdez in Six Days and alf—
Volcanoes Are Active.
The S. S. Yukon, of the Alaska
t.oast company, arrived in Valdez
this morning and departed short
ly after for the south. Fifteen
passengers from the westward,
including Deputy Marshal Arm
strong, came over on her to at
tend court; mostly witnesses in
the Afognak illegal voting cases.
"The trip to the westward,”
said Agent Watson, “was stormy
until we passed Kodiak. We were
two days going from Seward to
Seldovia, hut from Kodiak west it
was one of the pleasantest trips
I have ever experienced. The sea
was as smooth as a mill pond.
The five volcanoes to the west
ward are working overtime and
all of them were belching forth
Tire and brimstone,’ as they say
in the Good Book. It was a mag
nificent sight to see the three
peaks at Katmai sending smoke
and fire into the heavens. One
volcano at Belskofsky and anoth
er at Unimak pass were also
active. In all we saw five work
ing on this trip. It was Katmai
beyond any possibility of a doubt
that did the work last summer.
We could distinctly see the three
peaks working and the ground for
miles was covered with the ash,
which was sent forth at that
time.”
The trip from Unalaska to Val
dez was made in six and a half
days. The Yukon left there on
the return trip on the evening of
the 10th, arriving here on the
morning of the lGth.
Captain Johnson, who will start
a cannery next summer at Eng
lish bay, in the Aleutian islands,
was an outgoing passenger for
the states to purchase supplies
and attend to the shipping in of
the same for the work next year.
Articles of incorporation of the
Seward-Alaska Gold Mining com
pany, of Seattle, were filed with
the clerk of the district'court to
day. The company is incorpor
ated for §1,000,000 with shares
at one dollar each. The incor
porators are W. R. Misner, J. C.
Stien, O. E. Sauter, F. M. Guth
rie, II. J. Hill, Geo. W. Dutton and j
C. R. Cavanaugh.

New Trial for Olsson.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 10.
'Socialist Olsson, whose naturaliz
ation papers were rescued by
1 former Judge Hanford, has been
j granted a new trial in accord
ance with the instructions of At
torney General Wickersham.
NATIVES DRIVE TEACHERS
FROM GOVERNMENT SCHOOL
(continued from page 1-.
pelts, were sent by the traders to
the Coopers for relief, and there
being only sufficient supplies at
the school for the use of the
Coopers, the natives became in
censed at not receiving food and
decided to revenge themselves.
The marshal's office is entitled
to great credit for its prompt and
energetic action in the matter, for
no doubt the station would be
looted if not destroyed in case
prompt action was not taken. It
is not probable that the Coopers
will return to Tyonok until Mr.
Goshaw has visited the place, in
vestigated the situation and made
his report on his way back.
The natives are in possession of
strychnine, which they purchase
from the fur traders for the pur
pose of poisoning fur bearing and
other animals, and it is feared
that this was used in order to rid
themselves of the Coopers in or
der to secure possession of their
food supply.

FREES HOBEN
I
Seward Wood Dealer Declared Not'
Guilty by a Jury In the
District ourt.
The* jury which has been con
sidering the case brought by the
government against Harry Hoben,
of Seward, charged with cutting
and aiding the cutting of thirteen
slicks of piling on the govern
ment reservation near Seward,
brought in a verdict of “not guil
ty” at 9 o'clock Iasi night, after
being out but a short time.
This is the first case brought to
enforce the law in this section.
The law, however, does not meet
with the approval of I he people
in Alaska, as it is thought by
many that it tends to retard the
development of the territory.
Judge Lyons, in instructing the
jury, told them that Hoben would
have no right to cut timber on the
Hoffman homestead unless it was
for the purpose of clearing the
land for cultivation; that a home
's! eadcr cannot cut timber on his
homestead under the law except
in pursuance of a definite plan
the the plow shall follow the axe,
but that a homesteader may cut
all the timber necessary to clear
trie land for tilling.
The second case against llobcn
for cutting wood on the public
domain without a permit, came up
for trial this morning in the dis
trict court before the following
jurors: 0. Parker Smith, A. Bell,
C. Hubbard, James Brennen, Thus.
Stamey, A. P. Hunt. Peter Layton,
'Con. Lowney, Geo. O. Reinke, H. L.
Worcester and W. H. Kraemer.
The compressor on tne Midas
property will be ready for oper
ation within a few days, having
been placed in position. The
compressor will be run by an oil
engine.
It is worth while taking a
ohance on the 8800 diamond ring
being raffled at Plant & Com
pany’s, jewelers.
