dred Cheyennes are on the warpath
and marching southward the!
Utes on Tongue river. The latter are
entrenched in a strong position in the

PUSH COPPER WORK OH
PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND
Joseph A. Bourke. a well known min-1
ing man of Valdez and one of the own- j
ers of the Prospector, who is now in j
Seward, says that the extraordinary
activity in Prince William sound cop-;
per which has been one of the features
of Alaska mining this year, continues
to grow apace. Development work is
in progress on all the islands of the
Sound and the mainland on the eastern
shore and Mr. Bourke affirms that each
month offers a surprise in the uncov
ering of deposits. He is interested
with J. L. Steel in the Standard Cop
per mine on Landlock bay, not far
from Kllaraar. The mine will begin
shipping within thirty days.
Mr. Bourke has been in Alaska since
1898, most of the time at Valdez, and
is familiar with all the copper fields of
theSound. He thinks the largest de
posits are perhaps at Latouche island,
although the ore is of lower grade
there than in other places on the
Sound. He believes also that within a
short time the copper output of the
Sound will bring a. smelter, and that
its location will be influenced to some
extent by the source of fuel supply.
Mr. Bourke recently bought Dr.
Cook’s fast launch and came to Seward j
to arrange for the transfer of the boat
to the sound. Dr. Cook left it at Sel
dovia. __

MIZNER’S WIFE
FIRES HIM OUT
Former Alaska Adventurer Gets
23 From Owner of the
Yerkes Millions.
By Cable to The Bally Gateway
Chicago, Oct. 29—Mrs. Wilson Miz*
ner ordered her husband out of her
house yesterday and filed proceedings
for divorce today. His persistent de
mands for meney and personal neglect
of his wife were the causes of the final
rupture.
The marriage of Wilson Mizner to
the widow of the late millionaire street
railway magnate, Charles T. Yerkes,
a month after the latter’s death, was
one of the sensations of the year and
it was worked to the limit by the news
papers. The marriage took place late
in January.
Mizner had been known for several
years in Dawson and Nome, in each of
which places he subsisted without
labor by his winning ways with the
women. He was tall and handsome
and had a fine tenor voice, which he
exercised in the concert halls. When
he married Mrs. Yerkes he was not
more than JO years old. while she was
nearly 50. Stories of ftimily jars over
Mizner’s money demands were pub
lished frequently for several months
but the sensation-mongers of the news
paper world finally dropped the sub
ject for fresher “stuff.”
Several Seward citizens knew Miz
ner in Dawson or Nome and were much
edified when they heard that he had
captured the rich widow.
Schooner Goes Back Leaking
Schooner Martha W. Tufts, laden
with lumber and oil for the Bartels
Tin Mining Company near Nome,
reached Dutch Harbor leaking last
month. She had opened on the trip
up from Seattle. Carpenters worked
on her several days trying to stop the
leaks but were unable to do so and she
had to return to Seattle, sailing Octo
ber 18. She was obliged to jettison
her deck cargo to make Ditch Har
bor. Capt. West of the Corwin brings
the news.
Saratoga Sails Southward
Steamer Saratoga returned from the
westward Tuesday afternoon at 1 o’clock
and sailed for Seattle at 11 p. m.
She brought 9000 cases of salmon from
Uyak. A. F. Davidson, superintendent
of the cannery, and Mrs. Davidson were
outgoing passengers.
