Tile above telegram was re- !
reiv ed from I lie Cordova Alaskan |
in response lo a wire from lliej
Prospector asking for informa- j
lion as lo the situation along the j
line. The ,rotary coming into ;
Cordova for repairs is the one
which was stalled al mile 92, and
tin; oilier is the one which has
been used to open I be line, and
which had received injuries from
its steady work bucking the slides
of ice and sand and rock along
the line.
No information is given as lo
the condition of the line from
mile 92 to Chitina and it is said
by those familiar with the road
that much trouble will bet exper
ienced clearing the track from
mile 92 to 101. as much ice has
formed. It is, however, possible
that this part of the road may
have been opened before the ro
taries were sent to Cordova, but
il is hardly likely.

PORCUPINE MARY'S
DAYS ARE NUMBERED
Mary Boyle, whose universal alias
is “Porcupine Mary,” an Indian
girl, I he wife of Chick Boyle, the
Haines soldier, may never live to
stand trial on charges of giving |
liquor lo Indians, for which she ;
was indicted during the recent !
session of the grand jury, says
tin* Juneau Dispatch. Mary is j
sick almost unto death in the U.;
S. government hospital, a suffer
er with tuberculosis, aggravated
bv other diseases common among
the Indians of this section.
When Mary's condition became
such that her removal from the
jail to a hospital was imperative,
she was taken to the government
institution for the Indian sick.
This was several days ago. Her
condition has not improved and
it is believed that she may never
survive her disorders.
A few years ago Porcupine
Mary, as every man, woman and
child in Juneau knew her, was
the acknowledged beauty of the
Thlinget tribe. A few years’ a -
sociation with bad whites and
whatever beauty may have been
hers had faded. Today she is
said by those who have visited;
the hospital to be but a sordid
remembrance of I he belle; that
was.
Missionaries have many times
tried to reform this girl, hut
without success. Her love for
liquor drowned all the finer sen- :
sibilities that might have been
developed had she been given the
proper guidance at. Hie proper
time.

BIG TURNIP FROM

A big turnip was brought to

Doctor Supplies Joints.
San Francisco.— I)r. Milton
Francis Clark, of this city, who
recently provided a dog with a
practical silver leg joint, fitted a
pet monkey today with a hall and
socket shoulder joint of silver
and diamonds. The dog’s joint
also ^ad gem hearings, and a
complication arose when an al
tempt was made to steal the an
imal immediately after the oper
ation. Dr. Clark pointed out the
advantage of the monkey over the
dog in that the former lives in a
cage. The muscles and tendons
were secured in their usual
places in the monkey’s joint and
it moved ils arm with consider
able freedom. The operation was
preliminary to one which will he
performed on a man afflicted with
ankylosis of the arms.
