Teams En Route.
A dozen prospectors left this morn
ing for the Nelchina country via the
government road. They are using
dogs and traveling light with the
main supplies being sent in to Cop
per Center by homes.
The trail over the summit is now
open and the mtishers are determin
ed to use it before the next snow
storm, so that they may reach the
diggings early and commence the
work of dpening up the claims locat
ed last fall. Many prospectors are'
coming from Seward and the west
ward to go in via' the ValdC* gov
ernment road; as they consider this
the easiest ahd quickest route.

Deputy Marshal Armstrong Makes
Trip to Stricken Village and
Orders Quarantine.
.Marshal Brenneman has received a
wireless telegram from Deputy Mar
shal Carl Armstrong, of Kodiak, who
made a trip to Afognak to investigate
the conditions in the stricken town,
where the natives are in the grip of
an epidemic of measles. He has re
ported that ten children have died
and the measles has been contract
ed in fifty-seven families with 150
cases now on record.
Ten deaths have been reported and
nothing can stay I he progress of the
disease, the few medicines in the
town having been exhausted. The
marshal urges prompt assistance and
requests that Dr. Chase, the health
officer, detail Dr. Silverman, now at
Kodiak, to go to Afognak and render
such aid as is possible until the arriv
al of the cutter Tahoma, with Dr.
Kurlish and his two assistants and
a goodly supply 01 anti-toxin.
Conditions in the other Indian vil
lages are believed to be as bad as at
Afognak and the deputy will immedi
ately investigate and will take a few
instructions to the school teachers
from Dr. Silverman, and as much ,
medicine as can be spared.
At Afognak Deputy Armstrong es
tablished a quarantine and ordered
that no one be allowed to leave the
city.
Conditions at Kodiak are not as
bad as in the other towns because
of the quarantine regulations enforc
ed by the marshal. It is hardly ex
pected that any new cases will devel
op fn that city.
