BENDER BROTHERS
WILL MAKE TRIP
UP KUSKOKWIM
“The power schooner Bender Broth
ers, owned by Knaflich & Albert, has
been chartered by the West Coast
Grocery company to carry a load of
supplies to the Moravian missions in
the Kuskokwim river district, accord
ing to Capt. Louis Knaflich." says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
“The Bender Brothers, when she
reaches Quinhaget and Bethel this
spring, will be a most welcome sight,
for through failure of delivery of sup
plies last fall the natives and traders
along the river have had short com
mons all winter. The arrival of the
Bender Brothers will also have a deep
er significance to the missionaries and
their charges, as it was through their
industry that the vessel is now sailing
the seas instead of being a dismantled
hulk on the Kuskokwim flats.
“The Bender Brothers, then a sail
ing vessel, went ashore and was driv
en far back on the flats some twelve
years ago. The Moravian missionaries
and their Indian charges put in an
entire summer floating the vessel and
after she was once more free Capt.
Knaflich purchased her. running her
to Seattle, where power was installed.
For the past ten years, she has served

she was frozen in at Bethel with Capt.
Knaflich in command, but despite var

of J. T. Wilkin. The next vessel is
66 feet over all. with a beam of l.">

Mining Notes
That pay going $3 to the square foot
of bedrock has been uncovered on his (
ground on Amy creek in the Tolovana J
district, is the report received by J.
C. Kinney in a letter from his partner,
Cal Franklin. The letter states that
pans running from forty to sixty cents)
are obtainable any place where the)
ground has been opened up, but that
the width of the paystreak has not)
yet been demonstrated.
......
The ground in question is the Union j
. '
bench claim, located on the right limit
of Amy creek. Mr. Kinney, who ar
rived in town last night from Dome
creek, expects to leave for the Tolo
vana country in the next day or two
to inspect the find.
——
The purr of the “300" stamp mill
which has worked almost without ces
sation since its erection, will soon be
silenced, according to present plans of
the Treadwell company at Douglas
The ore bins are being emptied and
with the source of supply from the
Treadwell mine cut off, the mill, will
in all probability, be dismantled im
mediately.
The “700“ mill, which is dangerous
ly near the scene of the cave-in and
located above the workings will also
be dismantled in the near future.
With the exception of some single
men, it is not believed the population
on the island will be materially dimin

For You, Mr. Miner!
“Hipress”—the original White Rubber Boots and Shoes—repre
sents TITe biggest advance the world has ever seen in the method of
making rubber footwear. By a wonderful new process (ioodrich auto

ment. Goodrich alone makes boots this way.
The soles will far outwear hob-nailed leather soles—they actually wear

No peeling—no cracks no leaks.
