BRINGS SQUAO OF
MEN FROM VALDEZ
J. M. Moore finds Job Lot Looking
for Work and Annexes Them
for Alaska Central.
One of the interesting consignments
brought by the Oregon was 40 laborers
from Valdez whom .1. M. Moore picked
up in that |>ort for the Alaska Central.
He advanced fare for 31 and says he
could have brought 100 morq if his
pockts had contained the loose change
to pay their transportation.
Mr. Moore had been to Seattle hav
ing a goixl time and when he reached
Valdez His spirits were soaring so
buoyantly at the near prospect of get
ting back to the only real town on the
Southern coast that he was in a proper
mood to act like a philanthropist.
Wherefore when he saw squads of
men moping around with their hands
in their pockets he was moved to in
quire as did another philanthropist
nineteen centuries before:
“Why stand ye around all the day
idle?”
And the parties addressed replied:
“Because no man hath hired us.”
Whereupon the emissary of the
Alaska Central i>ointed the way of sal
vation to all who had the price of a
ticket to Seward, and as most of them
were branded “23” he advanced his
own coin for tho unfortunates until his
pockets were empty.
EVENTFUL EXPERIENCE
OF THOMAS CAVENY
Prospector Loses His Partner, Boat
and Outfit, and Is Castaway on a
Rock in the Kahiltna River.
An eventful experience was that
which befell Thomas Caveny, who re
turned on the steamer Bertha from the
Yentna goldfields. His partnerdrown
ed: l>oat wrecked: outfit lost, and com
pelled to keep a weary vigil for six
long days on a lonely rock emerging
from rapidly flowing waters, with
nothing to sustain life but a scant sup
ply of flour such, in brief, is the story
of his unfortunate prospecting trip.
Caveny left Seward on May 13 for
tiie new diggings. At Tyoonok he
took as a partner a young man named
John T. < 'oles. Together they built a
boat, outfitted at Susitna station, and
finally reached Peters creek, a tribu
tary of the Kahiltna river. They
remained there a short time, and then
decided to go to Lake creek. While
going down the Kahiltna, their boat
struck a large boulder. The force of
the blow practically demolished the
little craft and the occupants and out
fit were thrown into the river. Cave
ny and Coles managed to scramble out
on the rock, which afforded them tem
porary safety. The accident occurred
on the 22nd day of June, and for three
days the castaways waited for succor.
During this time a portion of a sack of
flour was their only food, and it became
apparent that they must themselves
make a final effort to reach the shore.
The wrecked boat was lying partly
submerged near the rock, and it was
thought possible to construct a tempo
rary raft sufficiently strong to carry
them to the nearest, bank from the re
maining boards. With difficulty a
frail raft was completed. Coles had
gotten on the crude structure, when in
some way the line from the raft to the
rock parted, and off down the swift
running stream went Coles on his frail
boat, leaving Caveny on the boulder.
Coles was hurled around a bend in the
river, and was lost from sight.
Three more days went by, and Cave
ny had about succumbed as a result of
his terrible privations, when on June
28 T. H. Jeter and Charles Carlson
came along in a boat and rescued
him. Nothing has since been heard of
Coles and there is no doubt but that he
was drowned, as the raft was afterward
found on the shore about a mile below
the rock.
Coles formerly lived in Victoria, B.
C., was about 35 years old and prior to
his departure for the Yentna was a
camp cook on the Alaska Central.

DISCUSSES INSURANCE LOSS ;
—
San Francisco Chronicle (lives Fig
ures of Liabilties
The San Francisco Chronicle pub
lishes a statement showing the capital
and surplus of the insurance companies
which lost by the recent tire and their
estimated risks in the city, the total of
the latter being placed at $296,780,000.
“From this,” says the Chronicle,
“deduct 15 per cent to arrive at the
insurance in the burned district, and
one has the total of $252,363,000. The
domestic companies, on the 15 per cent
deduction have risks to the amount of
$138,155,750 in the burned district,
and to meet it have a capital and
surplus of $131,437,000. While the
risks of the foreign companies, on that
basis, amount to $114,287,750 and their
surplus in America amounts to only
$31,089,000, yet they have a world capi
tal and surplus of $131,887,000.’'

other Canadian gold for the same
