PROMINENT TREADWELL
MAN IS KILLED
TREADWELL, Pec. 18.—Edward
Schanda, an oiler at the Mexican
Hoist, was killed shortly after he
went to work on the seven o’clock
shift this morning.
It seems that Schanda went down
into the pit, where the reverse gear
of the hoisting engine is located, for
the purpose of adjusting the geat>,
and after performing the task called
up to Emil Youngstrom. the engineer,
that everything was all right. About
this time, it appears the engineer had
received a signal to hoist the cake,
and after calling to Schanada did so.
He then reversed the engine, as usual,
and it is thought that a heavy bal
ance weight, which was released by i
the reverse of the engine, caught and j
crushed the deceased. However, no
one seems to he positively certain as
to just how he was injured. When
Schanda was caught he screamed to
Youngstrom who immediately revers
ed the hoisting engine, which re
leased Schanda. He then climbed out
of the pit. walked some thirty or forty ,
' feet and collapsed without speaking.
He was started to the hospital, but
died on the way. An unusual fact
connected with the case is that
Shanda’s neck was dislocated, not
withstanding he was able to climb out
of the pit and walk a short distance
before death ensued.—Empire.
The Bridge club will not meet on
Saturday. Th next meeting will be at
Mrs. Whittemore’s January 8th.
The train arrived from out the line
from its trip yesterday at 2:30 this
morning. It did not leave yesterday
afternoon until nearly four o’clock.

WOULD CHANGE OLD
ALASKA MINE LAW
Inspector for Territory Suggests that
Congress Repeal Present Act and
Pass More Efficient One.
SEATTLE, Dec. 15.—Sumner S.
Smith, mining inspector of Alaska,
has asked Congress to repeal the fe
eral mining law for the territory and
to pass a new one that will fit the
needs of the local conditions. The
suggestion is embodied in Inspector
Smith’s report to the United States j
bureau of mines, which was made
public at Washington today. Smith .
also asks that a mine experiment sta
tion be established in Alaska, and
Inat the federal mine inspector be1
given an appropriation for the equip
ment and rental of an office and for,
field assistance.
Under the present law, the federal;
mine inspector is allowed $.'1,000 a
year salary, but he is not allowed to
employ any assistants. As the terri- j
tory which he is supposed to cover
embraces an area of 580,000 square
miles, on most of which there is no
... I
railroad, it is obviously impossible
for him to give good service in all
parts of his field. If the mine in- j
spector happened to be at Ketchikan i
in winter, and an accident was report
ed at Nome or on the Koyukuk, it
would be impossible for him to make
an examination to determine the
cause of the accident until 8 or 9
months had elapsed. The law pre
supposes that he will immediately in
vestigate all mining accidents in the
territory.
Smith reports among other things
that a number of applications to mine
coal on ten-acre tracts have been re
ceived, and work on them has been
started in each of the four judicial
divisions.
Among the notable developments
reported from Alaska is the installa-;
tion of a new 500-ton concentrator at!
the Beatson mine at Latouche, and
the first unit of a 10,000-ton crushing
plant at Thane, several small quartz
mills and dredges and two new cyan
ide plants. New discoveries of prom- ■
ising placer ground are reported from
the Tolovana river.
Van H. Manning, chief of the
United States bureau of mines, in his
report to Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane, tiled today at
Washington, says that more than 2,
400 men were trained in rescue
methods and more than 6,100 in first
aid methods during the past year.
During the year more than 100 min
ers were rescued.— Seattle Times.

CORWIN SAILS ON LAST
TRIP OUT OF SEATTLE
With the sailing recently of the
steaemr Corwin for San Francisco,
the Seattle w’ater front probably had
its last glimpse of the little vessel
wrhich has done such valiant sendee
in Alaska w'aters. Capt. R. J. Healey
w'as at the wheel when the Corwdn
sailed for the South, where she will
be turned over to her new’ owner, the
Southv.’estern Steamship Company, of
IjOs Angelos. She wdll hereafter ply
betw’een San Francisco, San Pedro
and Mazatian or Guaymas, Mexico, j
For twelve years the Corwin has
been the ice-breaker for vessels in the
Seattle-Alaska trade. She has been
the first vessel into Nome and points
in the North every year. Before en
tering the commercial routine the
Corwin w’as a United States revenue
cutter, and as such participated in
many raids on poachers in Alaska
w’aters. She also aided in rescuing
numerous whaling expeditions, and
her appearance at ports on Kotzebue
sound and at Port Barrow* in the
spring of each year was always a
sight for rejoicing at those places .
Last year she w*as outfitted for a
walrus hunt and went far into the
waters of the Arctic in search of the
animals.—Seattle P. I.

ODDFELLOWS TAKE
STEPS TO ORGANIZE
Local Odd Fellows have taken defi
nite steps towards the organization of
a lodge of that order ;n Seward.
The Territory of Alaska is under
the jurisdiction of the grand lodge
of the State of Washington. The dis
trict deputy grand master for Alaska
has already given his approval of the
application for a charter by the Sew
ard Odd Fellows. Consequently there
is little doubt that the three link
fraternity will soon have an organiza
tion in the Terminal City.
When all other requirements have
been met it is expected that the grand
master will appoint some member of
the Valdez Odd Fellows lodge as a
special deputy grand master with a
commission to come to Seward and in
stitute a lodge here.
C. E. Mullin, who is taking the ini
tiative in the matter, has already
found about 50 Odd Fellows in Sew
ard, and he is confident that the new
lodge will be a thriving one from the
start.

White Boot
“With the Red-Line ’round the Top”
You know that when a hoot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“III PRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich “HIPRESS” Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t have to halt
pole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual service is that
44 HI PRESS” are constructed by an entirely new process—fifty years
ahead of the old.
Made of the same tough rubber that goes into Ooodrieh Auto Tires—welded
together under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to come apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split! They re comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it's working. We promise that once you start
wearing White “HIPRESS” you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has a Red-Line ’round the Top.
