LOSS OF OLSON
IS KEENLY FELT
BY SHIPMATES
The halibut boat Superior, Capt.!
Nels Ford, which came into port:
Wednesday to secure medical at- 1
tention for members of its crew, j
was still in port today. In addition j
to the misfortune of losing one i
member of the crew in the hazard- i
ous seas of the North Pacific the
vessel encountered, considerable
damage was sustained to the boat
i itself. Part of the cabin was wreck
ed, the scuttle demolished, dory
splintered to kindling and some of
the railing swept away. About
: $1,000 worth of gear was lost.
The crew feel extremely regret- j
ful over the loss of their ship
; mate. Thos. Olson, but are willing J
| and ready to return to the open*
i seas and again battle the ele-!
' ments.
Three men were actually swept
1 into the raging sea at the time of
j the tragedy, it is said. The third
; man happened to be in the vicini
; ty of the halibuter’s mast when
the vessel, which was thrown on!
its side from the huge swell, right- j
ed itself, and succeeded in grab-j
bing a mast rope by which he was |
| pulled back to the halibuter. He i
j was the only member of the crew]
, who came through without a!
bruise.
The second man was thrown l
i over the starboard side with
' wreckage from the ship. He was so
j close to the boat he could grasp
' a line by which three of his mates
i pulled him to safety.
; The third man, Tom Olsen, was j
not thrown into the water at close !
proximity to the boat. Instead, he 1
| was hurled more toward port; the j
■ weatherside. In the few minutes 1
j which elapsed while the Superior :
was riding the huge swell, Olson
was at least 100 yards from the i
ship, with its silent, water-soaked j
engine, and it was utterly impos- ,
1 siblc to reach poor Tom, even with j
a line.
A valiant story is told of the j
engineer who, badly injured, work-'
ed on the Superior’s dead engine.:
despite the pain and misery he
suffered.
The Superior has about 4.000 i
pounds of halibut on board. Capt.!
Ford plans to go to Ketchikan to j
get ice and will make another voy-!
age to the banks this season.
The SS Depere, of the A. S. S. Co.,
is expected to arrive in Seward;
this afternoon from the South.!
The liner has 100 tons of petro- ;
leum products on board for the
Standard Oil Company local head- i
quarters plant, and a small ship- i
ment of powder for railroad points, j

Alaska Leads In
Platinum Output i
Mine returns for 1931 indicate a
production of 720 troy ounces of
crude platinum in Alaska, 280
ounces in California and 74 ounc
es in Oregon, a total of 1.074
ounces.
The greater part of the pro-j
duction in Alaska was from plac-.
ers in the Goodnews Bay district,
south of the mouth of the Kusko
kwim river, but a small quantity
was recovered in placer gold min- i
ing on Dime creek, Seward Penin- j
sula.
Ih California most of the plati
num produced was a by-product
of dredges working the gold plac
ers in Merced, Sacramento and!
Stanislaus counties. The produc
tion in Oregon was chiefly from
Curry county.
The New York Alaska Gold
Dredging Corp. was granted renew
al of fixed point to point tele- i
graph license.
