NORTHERN MINERS CAN
USE WINTER WATER POWER
Prom the Fairbanks NewB-Miner
of Sept. 2d:
"Joe Boyle of Dawson should bo
crowned by the miners and pro
gressive people of the North," said
Leroy Tozier thia afternoon jn the
course of a conversation with Val
Dlebold about utilizing water In
the winter time in the Delta country
for power and mining purposes.
'"Boyle haa solved the problem of
securing running water In winter
time and he did it In opposition to
almost a united opposition on the
part of engineers from Dawson back
to London. Right today at the cold
est time of the year he is produc
ing enough water power to operate
his 10,000 horsepower plant at Daw
son without a bit of trouble and has
been doing It for two yea-r9.
"He has a six-mile ditch taken
out of the north fork of the Klon
dike river, thirty miles from the city
of Dawson. This ditch carries 30,000
Inches of water wheu full. In the
fall, when the freexeup is due he
| runs the ditch as full of water as it
| will carry, allowing It to freeze a
good thickness on the top. Then
he drops the water several inches
at the intake, which Is of course
always protected by the heavy ooat
nf Ice on the surface of the river.
This prevents the water from freez
ing any further on the surfaoe of th
ditch. To catch any small parties
of ice that might form along the
sides of the canal, he has built
three large wire contrivances out of
telephone wire that might be liken
ed to a Bet of bedspringB. These he
lias placed at intervals In the ditch
and has connected with his power
line so that he can shoot them full
of electricity, it is not expected
that this will warm the water, but
it does melt any ice particles with
which it comes in contact and keeps
the canal open all winter long.
"This method of obtaining water
i power or flowing water In winter
time Is extremely simple, yet it is
so effective that I understand the
United States government Is now
investigating it witk a view to
adopting it Secretary Lane is
i talking strongly of electrifying the
; railroads to be built in Alaska, and
1 if this is done, some method, not
costly but effective, will have to be
adopted to furnish water power in
winter. Minera and others generally
should profit by Boyle's clever dis
covery and they are already doing
so ou the upper Yukon. The sav
ing of fuel has also cut the prlce3
of lights and power at Dawsoti dirr
ing the winter months."
CHIEF JARVI8 IS REPORTED
TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED
Word was brought down, today by
returned Chisana stampeders
story appears in another column is
to the effect that Chief Jarvis was
drowned at a point In the Tanaua
river about five miles above McCarty.
This was last Thursday sometime as
near as they could fix it. The chief
was out alone in his boat when It
up:set in the rough water and he
failed to get ashore. When the
stampeders came along th® Indians
were dragging the river for his
body and making every effort to
recover it Word was Bent to his
widow at Salchaket.—Fairbanks

CAPITAL CITY NOTES FROM
DAILY EMPIRE OF 21st.
The annual report of Gov. J. F. A.
Strong was completed Saturday and
nailed to Washington, D. C. It will
>robably be out of press by January
I, 1915.
The report is considerably larger
han that of last year, containing
it least 30 per cent more of sub
ect matter than was treated of in
he previous document. It contains,
ill told, 196 pages of typewritten
nanuscript.
There are nine more criminal
aseg yet to be tried at this term
f court exclusive of the government
isherles prosecutions for alleged
iolations of the fishing regulations,
ome of t*e latter are to be tried
,t the Ketchikan term. . Of this
lumber seven, are for violations of
he statutes in regard to selling li
uor to Indians, and two are for
irst degree murder.
It is very probable that the de
endants in the lesser offense will be
ried first and be out of the way
or the more important cases.
The Admiral Watson, now on her
laiden voyage to Alaska, returned
rom Skagway this morning on ac
ount of trouble with the engines,
'he vessel put back to Juneau wherel
lachine shops competent to assist
n the necessary repairs are avail
ble. The Admiral Watson left

escaped desperado is again
looking through the bars
Deputy United Stat«« Marshal
Fred Fonzo returnda from Whit*
horse last night haying in charge
the man Reutzebeck, who recently
escaped from the federal prison here
and was recaptured a flew day* ago
at Whitehorae bx the R. N. .W. M.
P., Capt. Telford, acting officer la
command of the barracks there, bar
ing notified Deputy Fnozo Of the
arrest of a suspect and inforaila*
him that he would hold him
custody for indentificatioa until thM
officer's arrival.
When Deputy Marshal Foaio
heard of the arrest of Reutaebeck he
waa under the impremloa that he
had been apprehended at Champagne
Lauding by one of the police patrol
but that was an error, alfcough ta
his wanderingB previous to going to
Whitehorae Reutzebeck had
through Champagne Landing.
According to the story told to
Reutzebeck, after he escaped from
the Skagwey. Jail he crossed orrer
the low divide to Dyea aad then
over the high mountain"' raaga
to the westward into the' Chilfcat
valley at Klukwaa Tillage. 'He
three days in making the trip and
during that time he had nothing to
eat except what berries he' could
gather on the way. Haying at oaa
time been stationed for elghtoim
months at Ft. W. H. Beward, yrhm*
his enlistment aa a BOldler aspired,
he was pretty yell acquainted vrltfr
th0 lay of the country ovar which
he traveled, but the Scratch s» aad
bruises on his hands aad body
bear witness to the streattoua journ
ey he made in his effort* to •W
from the clutches of the law.
When Reutzebecjc left Klukwaa
for the interior it waa with the in
tention of making his yr*-y into the
Chisana country if possible, hut
when he got to Champagn* Lauding,
found the roadhousq closed aad
no one there, he changed his mlad
and went to Whitehorae instead la
expectation of being able to catch
a boat for some lower river pota*.
His arrest followed.
As Reutzebeck w-aa marched
Broadway last night after the ar
rival of the train, to the federal
jail, with his wrists handcuffed, his
hands clasped meekly before him
and guarded by three stalwart pas«a
officers, he failed to impress oa* am
being the desperado all those pre
cautions would seem to indicate him
to be. According to Deputy Maa*hal
Fonzo, however, he must havo etthar
burglarized some roadhouse in the
j Interior during bia wanderings or
! else have held someone up after his
| escape, for he had some money and
■ was dressed in a new stilt of ciothea
when arrested.
Deputy Marshal Fonzo loft f°r
Juneau with the prisoner on the
southward sailing o f the SP°kaae
today. '
