JUNEAU, Alaska, June 18—The
Taku Railroad & Navigation Com
pany has filed in the Juneau land of
fice right-of-way and terminal plats
for the proposed railway line up the
Taku river from a point on Taku in
let to the Canadian-Alaska boundary.
About two miles of side cut rock
work on the lower end Is encountered.
The line for the most part is tangent
and free of sharp curves. It follows
the flat in the valley almost the en
tire distance and traverses three
tracts of good timber. The grade is
said to be considerably less than 1
per cent.
The terminal is located on the
south side of Taku Inlet just op
posite Windom glacier, which has
been dead for some time. The inlet
is narrow at this point and over 40
feet in depth, and the feasibility of
bridging the channel at this point and
continuing the line to Juneau has
been discussed and is believed by en
gineers to be practicable.
P. J. Wetrick, of Wilhelm & Wet
rick, who made the survey for the
American line of the railway, is now
making a preliminary survey on the
Canadian side to Atlin.
M RECEIVER
Attorney General of State Will Apply
to Court Today—Depositors Get
50 Cents on the Dollar.
CHICAGO, June 18.—Attorney Gen
eral Lucey of this sti^te will file
papers today to have a receiver ap
pointed for the Lorimer banks which
closed their doors last week. The
investigation made by the bank ex
aminers has disclosed the insolvency
of the institutions. It is expected
that all the stockholders will lose
their holdings, while depositors will
receive about 50 cents on the dollar
! if the assets are properly conserved.
Ex-senator Lotfmer refused to
| make any statement other than to
| say that every depositor will receive
dollar for dollar, as the present trou
bles are only due to the inability
of the bank to turn its' investments
into cash.

ON VALDEZ SHORE
Philip Zharoff Finds Plenty of Yet
lowish Pumice or Ash On
I
Shore of Bay.
Philip Zharoff returned to Valdez
yesterday with a large quantity of a
yellowish pumice or ash which he
had gathered on the shore of Valdez
bay near Mineral creek. Philip re
ports the shores are covered with
the light ash, which has evidently
fallen with the recent heavy raivs
and gathered together by the action
of the winds and water.
Recent reports from Fairbanks and
Sewiard of falling ash and lava in
dicate that another large eruption has
taken place somewhere in Alaska or
Siberia, but so far no one has bedh
able to locate the mountain that has
broken out. The Dora, recently re
turning from the westward, reports
no-new volcano nor the activity of
any of the old ones, which line the
westward coast.
It is thought possible that in the
interior or on the Siberian coast a
new volcano has started working and
that it has sent forth large quanti
ties of ash is demonstrated by the
'wide area over which it has spread.
To the prevalence of volcanic ash
in the air the unusual heavy rains
of the past few weeks are believed
to be due.
