Dawson News; Johnny Hunson,
the diver at Bear creek for the
Canadian Klondyke company, has
been down a number of times in
the pond where dredge No. 2 ia cap
sized, and has inspected tile hull as
f»r as possible. He ws not able
to find anv damage to the hull.
However, there may have beeu some
l s!>ot which was damaged which he
did rtot inspect, but it is believed
hardly likely that he overlooked
»ny portion which might have been
I injured.
j The boat is lying today at an
«ngle of about 45 degrees, with
the side of the hull toward the
Bear creek bluff exposed to the
lower edge. Cables are attached in
four places, and it is expected
everything will be in readiness for
a big pull within a day or two. The
rabies are made fast in the high
bailing piles opposite the dredge.
The stacker is still lying in the
i pond, with the outer end touching
the bank. Three .or four hun
j dred feet above the dredge a steam
. shovel has been working digging
| tailings which were dumped- into
I cars and hauled several hundred
feet on a temporary rail track and
thrown across the the Klondyke. The
river thus is diverted toward the
right limit of the liver through a
new channel which the company
J helped to open.

enough to work oil for a long time.
I However, tho dredge may be right
i ed before the ice is thick.
When tho diver went down on
one of his trips last week he snag
ged ono of the sleeves near the
wrist( and water began to run in at
the aperture. He had a rubber
wristlet which he placed above the
cut until he could be gotten to the j
I surface. He was lifted up before1
any serious risk was encountered,1
and the damage to the sleeve w»»!
•repaired. At tlxetjme the sleeve was
damaged, Hanson was working' in
water rendered temporarily murky
: by the disturbance of sand or muck,
and it Is believed the sleeve touch
ed a projecting nail on a timber.
Hanson found the water Quite
cold. The suit kept all parts o?"him
well clad and warm excepting his
hands, which protruded at " tlia
wrists. The chill to the hands
I caused them to swell to exceptional
size, but Johnny is all pluck, and
may be taking another sub-aqueous
voyage soon. He is an old-time
miner and prospector who had div
ing experience before coming to
Klondyke.
