FOR ALASKA SERVICE
SEATTLE, April 1.—Capt. E. J.
Moore, a veteran navigator of Alas
kan waters; Charles M. Nutter, also
of Alaska, and B. E. Heifer, of Port
land, have purchased the 60-foot
yacht Kumback, formerly owned by
J. R. Patterson, of the Seattle Yacht

ing alterations and repairs to the craft

railway, which service is expected to
fill a long-felt want in that section of
the territory.

KATALLA WOLF SKINS
BRING A BIG PRICE
KATALLA, April 2.—1Captain and
Mrs. Charles Auer have returned
from a honeymoon spent in the
states and will make their home in
Katalla. Mrs. Auer was Dr. L. Von
M. Zesch before her marriage last
evening.
Jim Rison, who bought the pelt of
the first wolf killed here, took the
skin to Seattle, where it is stated sev
eral furriers offered him $250 for it,
claiming it to be a rare hide. Jim
paid only $20 for the skin, and has
written all his friends to stop work
and go wolf hunting. The skin was
long haired, glossy black in color, and
had tan markings on the breast and
feet.

NEW YORK, March ,‘iO.—The re
cent activity in Utah Copper ant
Kennecott Copper company share.1
has been accompanied by reports that
plans are maturing for taking ovei
by the Kennecott Copper corporatioi
of the Utah Copper company and havt
now reached a stage where an official
announcement might be looked foi
shortly.
The Kennecott, it is understood
has increased its stockholdings of the
Utah to 464,504 shares through the
recent purchase of 60,000 shares ir
the open market. It is asserted that
the Guggenheim interests control
something like 90,000 shares more
and that the big stockholders not af
filiated with the Kennecott and con
trolling in the neighborhood of 300,
000 shares would give their consent
to a consolidation, making a total of
854,604 shares, or more than enough
to insure the success of the proposed
merger.
It is also understood that an ex
change of stocks is being discussed
at, a ratio of 2.33 shares of Kenne
cott and something in cash for one
share of Utah, although recent mar
ket movements of both stocks would
seem to suggest a price ratio of 2.50
shares of Kennecott and something
in cash for one share of Utah.

Athletics will have to develop new
heroes after this war, for many of the
old “stars” will never again be seen in
competition. Every branch of sport
and every nation have suffered.
Among the tennis players, Dr. Otto
Nimheim, a dominant figure in tennis
in Germany, will never be seen on a
court again. Others who have served
their last ace are Anthony F. Wilding,
the Austrian champion, a Davis cup
winner in 1914; Kenneth Powell, form
er camptain of the Cambridge tennis
team; S. H. Dow, a Scottish player,
and the French players, Chelli, Bous
quet, Decurgis and I)e Joanis.
Golf has suffered no less than ten
nis. Among golf players who have lost
their lives in the war are Lord Aii
nesley, Capt. John Graham, W. A.
j Henderson, who had a victory over our
j own Jerome D. Travers to his credit;
| Joulian Martin-Smith, and Miss Neill
j |
J Fraser, who died from fever after
| j serving as a nurse in the field. Lord
j Annesley was a former amateur cham
■ pion of Ireland; Lieut. H. N. Atkin
i son, another golfer killed in the war,
was formerly the champion of Wales.
From the ranks of the English many
footballers have fallen. Of course, to
give the names of even 10 per cent of
the splendid athletes who have been
killed in battle would require far more
space than we have here. Iiut a few
other names of athletes killed in war
which might be mentioned are, among
oarsmen, Fletcher and McCraggen,
both of Oxford; and among boxers,
Charles Ledoux and Henry Fiet, the
former the holder of French bantam
weight honors and the latter the cham
pion welterweight of France.
The ranks of the runners and track
athletes have also been greatly do
A few who will never compete

W. Halswelle, England’s Olmpic cham
pion in 1908 in the 400-meter nan; An
i derson, of Oxford, another Olympic
competitor, and James Duffey, the
: Canadian distance runner, widely
known in the United States as one
time winner of the Yonkers Marathon
and the Boston Athletic Association
Marathon. Germany has lost two of
the greatest runners she ever had,
namely, A. Kau, whose records still
stand for 100 meters, 200 meters and
300 meters, and Hans Braun, the great
middle distance runner, who still holds
the German records for the 400, 500
and -800 meters distances. J. Bouin,
the most brilliant distance runner who
ever carried the colors of France, and
who held all the French records from
2,500 to 5,000 meters, is another who
has run his last race.
Many polo players and horsemen, of
course, have fallen, and a noteworthy
victim is Capt. Noel Edwards, of the
English polo team which played in this
country.

I BEATTIE WITNESSES A
THRILLING RACE FOR LIFE
(Iditarod Pioneer.)
J. E. Beattie, the Tolstoi freighter
who returned to this city last Wed
nesday evening, tells of an interest
ing race he witnessed Tuesday last on
the trail near Jerry Baker’s road
house between Dikeman and Tolstoi.
The contestants were three large grey
wolves chasing a caribou that hail
doubtless carelessly wandered away
from its herd, and the crafty wdlves
apparently made it their urgent busi
ness to keep it so separated. Wher
Mr. Beattie first espied the contest
they were about a quarter of a mile
from the trail and the course, gener
ally speaking, was diagonally from it
across the tundra—“over the moss,
the niggerheads and inland empire,”
as a former Iditarod editor was wont
to express it. The freighter stopped
his string of dogs to watch the chase.
As the caribou, savagely pursued b\
his relentless enemies, disappeared j
behind a swale of tundra, he gave ev
ery evidence of collapse, and after ..
run of only a few rolls would be the i
meat of the hungry wolves.

EVANS FRANTZON CO.
SEATTLE, March 2t>.—"No mar
can tell exactly where the next bit
paystreak of Alaskan gold will b<
found,” said Howard Turner, auditoi
of the Northern Commercial com
pany at the Hotel Frye today. Tur
ner explained that virtually all the
gold worked in the interior of Alas
ka is found in stringers—lodes that
are not quartz in form anil that are
found at a depth below the surface.
“Frequently stringers have been lo
cated that pay well at tirst and then
suddenly cease. They are called
‘pockets,'” said Mr. Turner, accord
ing to the Times.
The Vukon tributary region ha:
been productive of many stringei
veins which are worked entirely by
placer mining, according to Mr. Tur
ner. “Reports of pay streaks murt
be received cautiously, if based on sur
face evidence, because the presence of
a mother lode is determined only by
sinking shafts into the bowels of the
earth,” said Turner.
“A pay lode, like the Dawson miner
may be found any day, yet it may
take years; a geologist could tell
whether a district is mineral bearing
or not, but the gold in the Yukon
regions lies below the crust and must
be mined,” said Turner.

(Juneau Dispatch)
Michael Sheehan and J. H. Hewitt
j were placed in jail here in Juneau last
! night on the charge of robbing the
Chichagof!' mine of a gold brick val
ued at about twenty thousand dollars.
One of the men was a shift boss at
the mine and the other was a black
smith. Sheehan is said to be the
blacksmith and Hewitt is said to be
the shift boss but the authorities have
decided not to let the men be seen so
that even on *his point nothing is cer
tain.
The prisoners were placed on the
boat Chichagof!' at the mine by Field
Deputy Marshal Lischke who went to
Chichagof! soon after the robbery to
investigate, and they arrived here in
charge of the boat's crew. They were
met by Deputy Marshal Jimmie Man
ning at the Juneau dock and were im
mediately placed in jail.
Mo information was given out, and
it is said none has been received
Juneau, regarding the evidence
against the men or whether the stol
i en gold has been recovered or not.
Indeed, it is made clear that the au
| thorities are desirous of not divulging
1 any of the information in their pos
session, if those in Juneau have any
at all.
Sheehan and Hewitt are said to be
well known in Juneau.
