REPORTS SEEING
; MISSING RARK
Steamer Jennie Passed Nicholas
Thayer in Gale April 6 Near
Seal Rocks.
By Cable to Tbe Bally Gateway.
San Francisco. Sept. 13—Officers of
i tiu* steamer Jennie report that they
sighted the missing lumber bark
Nicholas Thayer olT the Alaskan coast
in a heavy gale April •*. I'he bark
I crossed the Jennie’s bow with sails
shortened. An hour later she was
sighted again off Seal Rocks and the
gale was driving her toward the
rocks. The men on the Jennie be
! lifted then that the bark was going to
her doom.
Lloyd’s posted the bark today as
' lost. No hope of her survival has
been entertained for months.
The foregoing dispatch does not say
what “Seal Rocks” are referred to.
There are several isolated projections
oft the coast of Alaska which bear
l that name. One of these is a short
: distance outside the entrance to Refur
rection bay. The bark was bound for
St*ward. She was towed from Seattle
January 1* of this year and left the tug |
outside Cape Flattery January 10.
DOZEN MEN LEAVE FOR
YENTNA GOLD CREEKS
Al>out a dozen men sailed for the I
I Inlet on the Dora and Toledo, bound I
I for the Yentna gold creeks. All had |
I large outfits, sufficient to last them a
year. They were men who have
! claims there and who recently came
out to obtain supplies to carry them
[through until next fall. They will
I take tbe gootls by water to the mouth
of Lake creek or Kahiltna and cache
them there until the creeks freeze,
when they can easily sled up to the
I mines.
FIND STIBNITE ORE
Several Quartz Specimens from Chu
lltna River Show That rtetal
Several specimens of ore from the
Chulitna river, southwest of Broad
| pass, show the presence of stibnite or
1 antimony glance. One piece of ore
carried several per cent antimony,
with galena. In ore brought down by
! Blankenship, Rodee and Hickman a
short time ago traces of antimony were j
i found. All the>e assays were made by t
j Harry Ellsworth.
Stibnite is a valuable metal and pro
duced in only a few countries. Anti
i rnony is obtained from it by melting
and oxidization. Type metal is an
! alloy of lead with 2'* per cent anti
j mony.
The slight prospecting done the past
season along the upper Chulitna indi
cates the existence of valuable quartz
deposits of several metals. One piece
of gold quartz brought down assayed
.$53 in gold. A piece of quartz on a ;
ledge located by Blankenship, Hick
man and Rodee assayed 14 per cent
copper, with gold and silver bringing
its total value up to $71. Four other
>pecimens ran much lower, yielding
from 2 to 4 per cent copper. All these i
were from near the surface.
STEEL FROM BLACK SAND
l)r. Day Thinks Vast Quantities of
Iron Are on Pacific Beaches
The Portland Oregonian says Dr.,
Day will soon report on experiments;
he has made in extracting iron from !
the black sand of the Paeitic coast. If!
he finds that the iron can be extracted j
at a low cost heavy financial interests
are ready to furnish the capital for
smelters. The Oregonian says:
•*The experiments of Dr. Day demon
strated that iron ore can successfully
be extracted from black sand, but now
he is perfecting a process to smelt the
| ore with electricity. By one continu
: ous operation he expects to convert the
1 crude ore into refined steel at lower
1 cost per ton than it can be done in the
east.
“One ton of magnetic iron, which is
i the finest grade, is in every three tons
J of black sand, such as can be had by
; the thousand tons near the mouth of
: the Columbia. One ton of iron out of
every three. To persons who have
seen the enormous wastes of black
' sand near the mouth of the Columbia
; river and along the seashore, this is
j another statement that is hard to
swallow. But this is what Dr. Day
maintains, and what is more, he has
i the records and results of his experi
; ments to substantiate what he says.”
Toledo Sails for Inlet
Steamer Toledo returned from La
touche Sunday evening and sailed
for Seldovianext morning at 11 o’clock.
She took the freight for Inlet ports
which the Dora was unable to carry
because her cargo for the peninsula
filled her up.
The survey steamer MacArthur came
in Sunday from the westward for
mail, and sailed again early next
morning.
HEARST TO RUN
1 FOR GOVERNOR
Named by Independence League
of New York and Says
He Is Delighted.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
New York, Sept. 13 The Independ
ence League nominated William K.
Hearst for governor today and he ac
cepted the nomination in a speech in
which he said he was delighted to
make the run.
Democrats Denounce Hearst
Sacramento, Sept. 13— The demo
cratic state convention of California
today passed a resolution denouncing
William R. Hearst, affirming that as
boss of the Independence League he is,
trying to steal the democratic presi
dential nomination from Bryan. The
convention indorsed Bryan for presi
dent in 1908 and nominated ex-Con- j
gressman Theodore A. Bell for gov
ernor. _______
ALASKA TIN OUTPUT GROWS
—
More Metal Shipped from Cape Y ork
Than from Rest of Country
This year more tin will probably be
shipped from the Cape Y'ork district,
Alaska, than from any American sec
tion. Three other companies are
operating in the district, besides sev
eral smaller companies that depend
more upon futurities. One of those
shipped to the United States last year
twenty-six tons of tin ore, which was
settled for by the American Lead Com
pany on the basis of HO percent pure tin.
The Bartels Company sent to the
north coast a ten-stamp mill, which
was to have teen erected last winter
on a tin lode property in the effort to
concentrate the ore as in the usual
quartz mill. If this is erected and
operated, it should deliver many tons
of concentrates by the close of the
short season for operating in the open.
Most of the specimens brought from
the north for inspection have been!
stream tin. of which there has been
large quantities found in some of the
gulches of the Y’ork district. This
tin was placer, as in the case of gold
taken from alluvial deposits. For a
time it was believed that the stream
tin deposits would be sufficient to put
the tin industry of the York district in
flourishing condition, giving the impe
tus needed to capital for exhaustive de
velopment of the lode deposits that
are being discovered. Government re
parts at the close of operation last year
indicate that the stream tin deposit is
still favorable, yet they did not yield
the amount of tin expected, and a por
tion of that sent to the outer world is
said to have been taken from lodes.
BODY OF GUS KOSTKI FOUND
Railroad Hen Discover Remains of
Man Missing for a Year.
Just one year from tho day he disap
peared the body of Gus Kostki. a young
railroad man who left camp 4G on Sun
day. September 10, 1005, to spend the
day in hunting, was found last Sunday
at the foot of a precipice, with his gun
beside the corpse. Kostki had just
bought a new gun a few days before he
started out alone to hunt. He was
never seen alive afterward.
About two months later men claimed
to have seen a body at the bottom of a
deep glacial crevasse, which they
identified as that of Kostki. As the
story confirmed the theory already en
tertained as to the cause of the young
man’s disappearance it was accepted.
Since the discovery last Sunday of the
remains which acquaintances positive
ly identify as the corpse of Kostki,
who also identify the gun, it is certain
that the body in the glacier was that
of another man or else the story was a
myth.
Kostki’s body was found on the
mountain side east of camp 52, not far
from the glacier. The men who found
the remains say the gun showed that
he had fallen from a great hight, but
did not explain whether it was broken
or merely scarred by the rocks.
Kostki was a young Italian, about 23
years old. He had worked on the rail
road several months. Nothing was
known of his antecedents.
Finds Skull and Revolver
W. A. Ferguson found a rusty Colt’s
navy revolver beside a human skvdl and
a pile of disjointed bones about three
miles above the mouth of the Kahitna
river this summer. The cylinder of
the revolver was missing und the re
mains of the skeleton indicated that
they had lain there a long time. It is
probable that bones and gun once be
longed to some hunter or trapper who
froze to death many years ago. The
revolver is on exhibition at the Branch
saloon.
Steamer Santa Clara Arrives
Steamer Santa Clara arrived in port
Sunday morning at G o’clock and
sailed for Seattle Monday morning.
She brought 181 tons of general mer
chandise and a cargo of bridge timber,
the latter for the railroad.
ADAMS TO RUN
IN COLORADO

nated for the Place by
Democrats of State.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
Denver, Sept. 14—TLie democratic
state convention today nominated
Alva Adams for governor again after
a strenuous session of three days.
Adams was unseated two years ago in
the contest with Peabody. He was
also governor one term several years
ago.
