TACOMA MAS ALASKA BOAT
Cottage City Will Carry Freight Reg
ularly from That Port
Tacoma, at last has a regular steam
er to Southeastern Alaska and the
Tacoma News rejoices thuslv:
‘‘Tacoma has finally secured a direct
steamship service to Alaska. The
Seattle papers admit that the Cottage
City is forced to come here for freight,
and concede that Tacoma will become
a permanent port of call for the Alas
kan steamers of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company, but gloss the
matter over by saying that the move
is made for freight purposes solely
and not for passengers. Seattle is
averse to losing a single returning
Alaskan who may come down from the
north with a well-lined poke.
“But even if the case be as the Seattle
papers say, Tacoma is content. No
more Tacoma shipments will be held
on the docks at Seattle until all the
Seattle cargo is loaded and the ship
cleared for the north. And this was
Tacoma’s greatest handicap in the
Alaskan trade. If necessary, we can
do without the passengers so long as
the city can dispatch its freight ship
ments promptly.”

YACHT BURNS
IN OPEN SEA
James Dunsmuir and Party Barely
Escape Death from Boiler
Explosion.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Vancouver, B. C., May 27—James
Dunsmuir’s private yacht Thistle
burned to the water’s edge last Friday
in Queen Charlotte sound and Duns
muir and a party of friends barely
escaped with their lives. Their
escape was miraculous as the boiler ex
ploded just as they were leaving the
yacht.
The fire started in the coal bunker
close to the boiler and rose so rapidly
that the engineer saw it was useless to
try to check the flames. The passen
gers were put off first and the engineer
and crew had barely time to leave the
boat before the explosion occurred.
They had not even time to shut off the
steam after stopping the yacht to let
down the life boats.
The life boats drifted for ten hours
in the rough sea of Charlotte sound
before they were picked up by a pass
ing vessel. Dunsmuir was a nervous
wreck when he was rescued.
TELLS ABOUT CHANDLAR
Northern Commercial Agent Thinks
It May Become Good Camp.
The Dawson News has the following
concerning the new far northern gold
j camp:
The first arrival to reach Dawson
direct from the new Chandelar camp
got in yesterday. Howard Turner,
assistant traveling auditor of the
Northern Commercial Company, is the
man. He left Caro, the metropolis of
the new camp April 4. He went down
the river from Dawson not long ago,
and was six days in the Chandelar
camp. He says:
“I went to investigate the camp on
behalf of our company, and from the,
appearance of the situation, wo likely
shall establish a post on the Chandelar
as far up as it shall be found possible
for light draft steamers to proceed.
It is doubtful if they will be able to get
as far as Caro. Probably they will be
able to reach the mouth of the east
fork.
“The company’s little steamer Koyu
kuk, now on the Tanana, probably
will be assigned to the Chandelar trip
early in the season, and later will go
up the Koyukuk. The steamer Delta,
similar to the Koyukuk, also may be
available. The attempt to enter the
Chandelar probably will be made ear
ly, while the high water prevails. We
Know that the work on the upper
Tanana, above Fairbanks, can be done
later, but it is a question, what can be
done on the Chandelar at any season.
•‘In any event, we shall look after
the Chandelar situation and will take
care of whatever trade and business
there may be developed in the coun- j
try to warrant our attention. The,
Chandelar may prove about such a
proposition regarding traffic as the
Koyukuk. It may be that the goods
will have to be landed a considerable
distance below the mining center, and
taken up later with poling boats or
with sleighs.
‘•Just now it is impossible to freight
to the Chandelar camp with dog teams
to any advantage. One cannot land
there with more than six weeks’ grub
left after the trip from Fort Yukon.
“Prices in the Chandelar after we
establish our summer service should
be no higher than on the Koyukuk,
which means about 10 per cent higher j
than at Fort Yukon or other lower
river stations.
“I found 125 men in the Chandelar,
including some just going in with late
spring supplies. No deaths had oc
curred, and all were well. The work
is done chiefly on Big McLellan, Big
Squaw, Little Squaw and Funchion
creeks. It is estimated $150,000 will
I be washed out of the creeks men
tioned by next fall. The gold will
come mostly from summer work and
from shallow streams.”

HART LOSES BY
BROKEN WRIST
Had Best of Fifflit With Schreck
but Forced to Throw Ip
in Twentieth.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Tonopah. Mary 31—Marvin Hart s
seconds threw up the sponge in the
twentieth round, giving the Light to
Schreck because Hart was unable to
proceed on account of a broken wrist
although he had the l>est of the light
nearly all the -vay and almost had
Schreck out in the eighteenth round.
Hart broke his left wrist in the fight
with George Gardner and crippled it
yesterday in the sixth round. Never
theless he fought on gamely and was
the aggressor in the contest. Towards
the end the wrist was totally disabled
and the pain became so agonizing that
Hart’s seconds stopped the fight al
most at the finish because it was ap
parent that Hart was nearly helpless.
