Weather
KODIAK, Monday, March
(Mail Correspondence.) — The W. .J.
! Krskine Co.’s schooner, Harold Hlek
um, is in trouble again. Kodiak peo
ple were surprised, startled in fact,
about four o’clock yesterday when
three of the schooner’s crew came in
front Kalsin bay in a dory.
With fair prospect of a bon voyage
to San Francisco the schooner had
sailed live days before, having been
towed eastward out ot St. Paul har
bor by the Hunter. And now three of
the crew had come into St. Paul har
bor from the westward to say that
they had encountered a terrific south
east gale, had fought the sea with all
their power, lost both anchors and
gone helplessly onto the rocks at 1 —. 1 •>
a. m. outside of Kagle harbor on the
east side of Kodiak island. All hands
had got ashore and were camping on
the beach while a detachment mushed
across the portage, five hours, to Kal
sin bay where they procured a dory
from the experiment station and came
on for relief.
The Hunter, Captain Magnuson,
former captain of the Blekum on
Frisco voyages, went at once to do all
that could be done and bring Captain
Kohl mister, his wife, and the crew
back to Kodiak.
The schooner had been in port a
week discharging and repairing, hav
ing arrived from Seward February 20.
It was in ship-shape and all were feel
ing good that no serious disaster had
come from former mishaps. The ex
tent of damage and loss is not known.

Alaska-Juneau mine in Silver Bow

Mining Notes
An unusual amount of mining ac
tivity is reported from the creeks of
the Tolovona section, and a number
of winter dumps are being taken out.
Whitehorse is rapidly becoming the
center of a great copper mining in
dustry, the mines of that vicinity hav
ing become regular shippers of ore.
Jacob Meiers, who owns a tung
sten property on the head of Steel
■ creek in the Fairbanks district, is ar
ranging for the erection of a mill on
the property as soon as the weather
conditions permit. The ledge has been
cut for a distance of six feet, and in
! some places the ore is nearly pure
! schoolito.
The Ruhv Silver and Silver Queen
mine at Pavcv, in the Lake Bennett
*
district, has been closed down tem
porarily on account of the depletion
of the funds set aside for develop
ment. I\ H. Ganty of Skagway, a
large stockholder in the company,
says the company will be reorganized
with sufficient capital to put the mine
on a shipping basis.
A slight difficulty occurred recently
between the miners and the manage
ment of the Mother Lode mine near
McCarthy, with the result that a
number of men quit work. A com
promise was effected whereby the
men received a raise of 50 cents per
day, and all returned to work.
\V. R. Reinfeld left Anchorage re
cently for the Xelchina where he has
I
been prospecting for the past throe
years* He has great confidence in the
i district and says the country has
never been prospected despite the big
; stampede three years ago.
M. W. Sinclair interested in some
valuable property on Willow creek
recently procured a lease on eight
claims on Willow creek from John
' Rice of Seward. Sinclair has let the
contract to freight in his summer’s
supply of piovisions and equip
ment from McDougal. He anticipates
a prosperous season for the Cache
i creek operators and says that there
will be great activity in that district
this season.
