I IS IK SKAGWAY
C. F. Staggers, submarine diver
ind wrecker, arrived in Skagway yes
terday 011 a private tender from Icy
.■Hraits, where he has been engaged
II an examination of the fish traps
lately put in by E. A. Sims, as
.veil as those of the Thlinket Pack
"g Co., at Fuuter Bay, the Pacific
\:ixerit"'ii Fisheries Co., at Excur
s >:i I and several others along
the Alaskan coast, to see that the
\ire netting had been properly ad
justed, so that fish entering the
traps cannot escape.
Mr. Staggers has all his diving
apparatus: with him and will leave
"n tho Georgia tonight for Juueau
aid from thence for Hecla Island,
where he will resume his work for
tho Vancouver Salvage Co. In salv
ing the cargo of tho Curacao steam
ship, which went ashore at Warm
I >'huck about a year ago, and about
io.">,i)00 wortlfof which h;is already
Mr. Staggers says that the Cura
j eoa is iu fairly good condition and
jthat she will be raised and again
j in commission before the end of
! the present year.
Early this year Mr. Staggers was
mployed by the Alaska Steamship
1 'o. to recover ship's equipment from
'.he steamship Olympia, which was
wrccked near Ellamar about three
yeans a^o.
Wheu asked his opinion as to
I the practicability of raising by the
j use of dynamite the bodies of those
drowned iu Lyun caual iu the dis
aster of July 4th, ho said that he
i thought it would be almost a use
■ less expenditure of time and money,
as the water where the victims of
the tragedy went down is too deep
laud ccld to hopo for success ex
•:Cpt by accident. He said that
i bodii-s had been known to rise from
ja depth of 150 feet, but where the
I accident occurred the water is 200
fathoms.
| The bodies might, however, be
j washed by the currents into shal
I lower waters, where they could be
raised bv the use of explosives, or
j even come to the surface of tbeni
j selves if sufficient gases formed
within them.
A few months ago he had raised
I four bodies from the bottom of
I^iko "Washington, at a depth of 95
lieet, but even that was something
j out of tho ordinary.
Mr. Staggers is delighted with
| Skagway and regrets that he Is not
, able to remain longer. Ho has
i it. in mind, however, to return at
some futuro time when ho will be
i more at leisure and can visit the
places of historic interest in and
around the head of Lynn caual.

LIS! NIGHT
At the stated communication las:,
night of Whit© Pass Masonic Lodgo
No. 113, the attendance was so
large that it taxed Uie seating cap
acity of the -lodge room to Its ut
most. Iu addition to many visit
ing brethren who are stopping tem
porarily iu Skagway, tho Peterson
came up from Haines at 8 o'clock
with Major Bradley, Capts. Mc
Brayer, Allen, Goodrich, and Spraguo,
Lieut. Edwards, Sergtg. Reese,
Clugg and Berger of Ft. W. H. Sew
ard, and II. 0. Banta of Haines.
There was work in the M. M. de
gree after which a light, but d3
licious banquet, gotten up by Max
Gutfeldt, was served, during which,
in answer to requests from W. M.,
W. C. Wright, acting as toa.st
master, there were brief but bril
liant and appropriate responses
made, mostly by tha visitors from
Ft. W H. Seward and Haines, who
are many of them far advanced in
masonry.
The napkins used were of paper
and adorned with symbols of tho
order, the back ground a wreath of
accasia and pomegranate, in one
corner the square and compaa and
trowel of the blue lodge, in the
next the cross and crown of the
Knights Templar, in the next the
keystone of the royal arch and i:i
the last the double-headed eagle of
the 32d degree.
The occasion was an especially
memoralile onne for the reason th::t
nearly all the visitors from Ft. W.
H. Seward belong to the 30th Un
it-;d States infantry, and will witli
ia few days bo transferred. to
outside points, and it is hardly with
in tiie bounds of possibility that
they will in future meet with any
of thoso with whom they so joyous
ly and instructively passed the time
last night.
