IN SEARCH FOR
TWO MINERS
Tragedy Neqr Yakutat Is
Reported by Captain
I) o d g e
JUNKAU.—(Special.)—J. G. John
son, well known mining man of Vic
toria anil Seattle, anil Jerry McGraw,
prospector of Ketchikan, have been
lost in the mountain wilderness of the
Yakutat region or else drowned at
sea. according to word received here
February 28 by George Gilbert, a
prominent business man of this city.
The information was forwarded
here by Capt. Dodge, of the coast
guard cutter Unalga, which made a
search along the coast from Makutat
to Makataga point.
Johnson ami McGraw left here
early last summer, and on August 28
left* Yakutat for Icy bay, to prospect
at Icy bay, according to information
giver, to Capt Dodge. They met Geo.
Felton and Charles Wit tael I, of Yaku
taga, who helped them to make camp.
Felton and Witsell remained a few
days with Johnson and his partner,!
and warned them not to attempt to
cruise during winter in their dory,
owing to glacier ice and treacherous j
waters. This was the last seen of
Johnson and McGraw.
One of the fishing fleet of the New
England Fish company called at lc\
bay during the early winter, but could
not locate the men.
On January 1.7 Felton and Wittsel!
again visited Johnson’s camp, but
found it had been deserted apparently i
for a month or more.
The coast guard cutter Unalga’s j
commander was appealed to for as-;
sistance in the search and on January l
27 visited lev bay, cruising along the
shore as far as Yakataga point with
out result.
The supposition is that the men
thought they could make their way in
the dory and were upset or else met
with an accident and could not walk
out
Johnson is well known in every port
along the Pacific coast. At one time
he was an associate of James A.
Moore in Seattle. The Johnson family
is well known in Victoria. McCJraw
has been a resident of Ketchikan a
number of years. He was engaged in
the fish business It is believed the
men had a tip regarding the location
of a1 promising mining property, as
they maintained great secrecy while
outfitting here last summer.

C. P. Boats From

(By United States Cable)
SEATTLE, Friday, March 9.—
Trans-Pacific trade from this port is
to be abandoned by England under
stress of war needs, orders having
been issued for the comandeering of
the Blue Funnel line steamers plying i
between here and the Orient.
These vessels were taken early in
the war but later were returned to
the merchant service. Removal of
these vessels takes all British ships
out of the trade on the Pacific except
certain C. P. liners, and commerce is
now being handled by Russian, Jap- i
anese, Norwegian and American hot-1
toms.

JUNEAU MAY
ORGANIZE A
HOME GUARD
-
Call Issued For Those In
\
terested to Meet For
a Discussion
Juneau may have a home guard to
consist of men too old to join the
army in case of war. The idea was
advanced by H. It. Shepard, who is
sued a call for all those interested in
the proposition to meet at the olfice
of H. K. Shepard and Son on Seward
street, Friday night, March 2, at 8
o'clock.
“The suggestion of a home guard
to consist of men too old to go to the
front seems to be popular," said Mr.
Shepard, who has talked the matter
over a good deal today. “The impres
sion prevails here as elsewhere that
the United States cannot avoid war
with Germany, and Americans are
anxious to do what they may be able
to do to serve their country in the
event of a crisis that may demand
their services."
