j Sherman and Chas. Matty left on the i
j morning train for the mine that is lo
1 cated three and one-half miles above

in front of the T. and T. building and
the post office. When this is done
grass seed will be sowred along the
entire frontage on 4th avenue.
MIGHTY BEAR HUNTERS
OFF FOR SNUG HARBOR
A party of mighty bear hunters
chartered the power boat Kumbak and
left for Snug harbor this morning to
be gone 10 days after brown bear.
Natives have brought in reports from
time to time that the brown bear are
plentiful in that section this spring
and are really a menace to life and
property. The party is making the
trip, therefore, as much in the interst
j of humanity as for the sport of Alaska
| sports—potting brown bear from van
1 tage ground.
Local merchants are scarce of heavy
shells and large bore rifles this morn
ing and the Kumbak was loaded to the
gunwales with hunting paraphernalia
'when she sailed from the government
dock. Merely as a matted of precau
tion an extra barge was taken along,
empty.
In the party were: E. M. Huff, who
once shook hands with Buffalo Bill in
Montana; George M. Campbell, who
didn’t accompany Roosevelt on the
big game trip to Africa, and Dr. Ger
man, whose acquaintance with brown
bear is based on his former visits to
the zoos. Orders were generously
taken yesterday and promises rife but
it is assumed, by the knowing ones,
that their friends, who consider brown
bear meat a delicacy, will be disap
pointed. Mr. Campbell will be histor
ian for the trip and in his anxiety to
make the boat this morning peaceful
ly left his shooting irons and shells at
home but wirelessed in from the Kum
bak that he had an electric frying pan
and thermos bottle with him.
MURRAY RETURNS FROM
TRIP TO COAL MINE
J. C. Murray, the big Cache creek
operator, and Jas. E. O-Reilly re
turned last night from a two-days’
trip to the Doherty coal mine and the
Matanuska coal fields. Mr. Murray
says that the Doherty mine is espec
ially well equipped and the company is
getting out the capacity run of coal
daily. He says that from his investi
gation the prospects are propitious for
extensive development in the entire
coal field and the successful operation,
which he predicts, will be the source
of a large income for this city, the
outlet of the production.
He reports the wagon roads contigu
ous to the government railroad are in
good condition but the fanners are
complaining of conditions throughout
the farming district.
Mr. Murray expressed himself as
being agreeably surprised at the ad
vancement of the government railroad
and spoke particularly of the substan
tial class of construction. Mr. Mur
ray will be in Anchorage waiting for
river navigation to open when he will
leave for Cache creek to superintend
his extensive placer and dredging op
erations.
REMAINS PROVE TO BE
THOSE OF CURTIS ROSS
Judge Conroy returned last night
from King river station where he held
an inquest over the body found near
that place last Sunday. The body was
found in the Matanuska river instead
of King river as officially reported to
The Times yesterday and proved to be
that of Curtis Ross, the prospector,
who was last seen alive on the 19th
day of last August.
Ira Brown, Adam Werner and Chas.
Johnson, all friends of Ross, positively
identified the body and further proof
was found in receipts from Judge Dav
id, for mining claims on Caribou
creek, made out to Ross and found in
his pocketbook.
The witnesses also recognized the
pocket knife, small whetstone and
match box found on his person. The
identification was conclusive and the
1 body was buried yesterday at King
river station.

AT THE EMPRESS.
The Hearst-Pathe news service di
rect from studio to the Empress thea
tre in Anchorage, proves conclusively
even to the most hardened doubting
Thomas, that Captain I.athrop spares
neither time or expense to give An
chorage the latest and best in motion
picture creation without delay and un
necessary bickering. The first pre
sentation of the Hearst-Pathe News
last Tuesday evening, was an innova
tionary revelation of the silent stage’s
extreme possibilities, absolutely sin
gle and alone in sumptuous magni
tude, ideas, and presenting happen
ings of the world at home and abroad
in a most interesting and entertaining
manner. Tonight and Friday the
Empress presents a Pathe Gold
Rooster play in Pathe color, a
beautiful five-reel subject entitled
“The Shrine of Happiness,” which was
written with the requirements of the
Pathe producers, and it rises above
the mere vehicle for a star into reaTVns
of true story interest, and holds nay
audience through five reels. It is
well constructed and well handled, all!
the characters being accorded natural
opportunity. It is a complete and
well-rounded production, each role
nicely typed and acted, but all this
adds to the praise which will be ac
corded Miss Jackie Saunders for her
charming performance. She does
wonders with her part, showing ma
turity in her impersonation and a lit
tle sweetness all her own. William
Conklin and Paul Gilmore ably sup
port Miss Saunders. 14 I
