industry. If you do not believe
this, write to Juneau.
2 In the pursuit of his profes

every portion of the Territory,
arid he is thoroughly familiar
with the needs of Alaska.
Mrs. Lena Morrow Lewis, the
Socialist speaker, addressed a
large audienee last evening in
Moose hall. Six* is a fluent and
interesting lalker, keeping her
audienee well together for over
two hours. Her talk barely
touched the subject of Socialism,
being rather directed to the
crimes of commission and omis
sion of the. older parties. Before
leaving here Mrs. Lewis will give

way, with corporations or other
persons seeking favors from the

been the friend and attorney of
the laborer and the poor man, yet
ho is no blatant demagogue,
seeking to array class against

Experiences of Capt. Knaflich
Skipper of the Schooner
Bender Bros.
Tin' power schooner Binder
Bros. is now on her way from
Seattle to the Kuskokwim. After
discharging her cargo there she
will be converted into a mild
curing salmon plant at the mouth
of the Kuskokwim under charter
to tlie Kendall Packing & Navi
gation company, and will remain
in the north to the end of the
fishing season.
Capt. Louis Knaflich, who is
the skipper of the Bender Bros,
again this season, was master of
the schooner Matthew \V. TulTt
when she was wrecked on the Ka
talla beach in 1907. The vessel,
of 175 tons, was northbound with
a capacity cargo when a living
gale blew her shoreward. Capt.
Knaflich ordered out ati anchor,
but the chain snapped like a low
string and the anchor was lost.
Capt. Knaflich succeeded in put
ting her about and taking a run
for if, beached her, all hands get
ling ashore in the life boats.
The next morning when a beach
comber rowed out to her and an
nounced his intention of taking
possession under fhe admiralty
laws. Great waves thundered and
chased down upon the hapless
vessel and the beach comber was
forced to take to the rigging to
avoid being swept overboard. For
18 hours he clung to his perilous
perch, the cold spray dashing in
to his face and repeatedly drench
ing his clothing.
The man's cries for help were
I>i(iful, but in the angry seas none
dared venture to the rescue. To
launch a boat, it was declared,
would have been impossible. On
the second day a rescue party was
organized on the shore, with ten
men as volunteers, and a life
boat was put out. Half way to
the schooner a wave overturned
the boat, threw the crew into the
sra and none of the men were
ever seen again. Overcome with
hours of constant watching, Capt.
Knatlich was asleep in his room
at the hotel. Sailor mates arous
ed him and single-handed he
rowed out to the ill-fated vessel,
took the marooned bearh comber
aboard and set him safely ashore.
The schooner Bender Bros, on
her voyage north last summer
put in at Hooper bay, 30 miles in
from the seacoasl in a shallow,
harbor, to land a government
school teacher and all the lumber
and equipment for the school
building and a lean-to for a house
for the teacher, with books and
provisions for a year. He an
chored ten miles from the shore
because of the low tide, and row
ed in a dory. For three days the
weather outside made it impossi
ble to launch his boat, and ht'
slept in a cave with a stone for
a pillow, while the natives ate
their food, consisting of sea
grass and raw llsh.
ANOTHER FIND
ON LITTLE ELDORADO
On ore from the Rose claim al
Ihe head of Link Kldorado creek,
lh«j lit I lc <iarden Island stamp
mill finished crushing yesterday
evening. A two ton shipment of
(lie rock was brought in, Friday
morning by Dick Creighfon, one
of the owners in I he claim. The
ore pans well, and it is believed
that the result will be highly sat
isfactory. The property is sit
uated about a quarter of a mile
uphill from the Newsboy, which
is on the divide between Cleary
and Little Kldorado creeks. The
ore sent in for milling is from
Ihe xurfacc work alone. A lead,
well defined and not greatly de
composed, has been traced for a
distance of 190 feel on the claim.
The ledge has a width of one foot.
According lo I.. A. Freestone,
the millman, the ore shows more
concentrates than any other rock
that lie has ever run through the
mill.
If Ihe result of the lest run is
satisfactory to Creighton and bis
associate Ooyetl, considerable de
velopment now projected will be
carried out.--Fairbanks Times.
