In the face of the gale sweeping
down from the northwest the S. S.
Alameda, Capt. W. A. Westerholm,
had considerable difficulty in warping
into the dock upon arrival from the
South at 7 o’clock last evening and
not until 8:30 o’clock was the vessel
finally lined alongside. Twice, com
plete circles were made in the bay af
ter coming in close. Extra lines, four
on the bow’ and the same number on
the stern, were passed out and made
fast, when it appeared doubtful that
the first few lines and cables were in
sufficient.
Rain was encountered along the
Panhandle seaboard but no snow fell
until running between Cordova and
Valdez. The Seward snow is the
heaviest noted anywhere. Coming
across the Gulf of Alaska a moderate
trip was enjoyed, likewise since leav
ing Valdez.
Much Christmas mail was brought
on the Alameda, for Seward, points
along the Alaska Railroad and the In
terior. About 200 tons of cargo is be
ing discharged of which approximately
150 tons is for the local Standard Oil
plant.
Southbound passengers will be per
mitted to board the vessel at 7 o’clock
SOME DAKOTA HIGHWAYS
PAVED WITH SOLD ODE
LEAD, S. D., Dec. 11. (IP)—Miles
of highway in the Black Hills of
South Dakota are literally paved with
gold.
For many years gold mines up in
the hills used the amalgam process of
refining, by which the ore is crushed
to fragments and run. across metal
plates through chemicals which with
draw eighty-five per cent of the gold
content.
Mountains of crushed ore,( still con
taing fifteen per cent of the original
gold, piled up beside the shafts, and
when road building began on a big
scale, communities appropriated it to
surface highways.

Fourth Cigars. “It’s in the
