LAUNCH SUPERB
IS TOTAL LOSS
r
Captain Larson and Gus Hansen i
left Ilaines last Saturday in the 11
gasoline launch Superb, with a 1
tow of a raft of piles for the new 1
W. P. & Y. It. dock, and although I
the water was a little rough every- .<
thing went aloug serenely until a
point was reached in Lynn canal
about eight miles south of Skag
way, when the whole of the interior
of the boat suddenly burst into a
blaze, presumably from a baekr
firing spark igniting the gasoline
and oil in tho bilge of the boat the
flames spreading to and catching in
a can of gasolene, which blew up,
throwing the burning fluid in all
directions. | s
It was all so sudden the men in L
the launch had hard work to s.ive | (
themselves, and only succpi-Jod in
t
doing so by jumping into t lie waters
of the canal and then eiimbing onto t
the raft. Hansen escaped scot c
free, but Captain Larsen lest his s
moustache and some of his hair, be- <■
sides suffering several minor burns t
on his hands and face. j
The launch soon burned to the j
water's edge and thea sunk from j
tho weight of tho machinery. a
Capt. Larsen and Hansen drifted j
to shoro on the raft about six t
miles down the canal and from ther (
made their way on foot to Skag- ]
way, reaching here about eight t
o'clock Saturday night. t
The Superb was the beat which s
left Skagway for Juneau on the '
night of July 3d, with a crowd of ^
young men on board bound for the t
capital city, but owing to the rough r
water had to turn back when a few ,
miles below Haines and subsequent- j
ly turned turtle near Sturgill's wood c
camp on the'east side of the canal, E
by which unfortunate occurrence thir ,
teen of the twenty-wo passengers j
lost their lives. »
John McLean, a laborer, wjio o:\
the nieht of the Moore's wharf
fire broke one of his ankles an.l
has been in the hospital ever since,
yesterday had the casting removed
from his leg and will soon be all
right again.

FISH ID GAME
Pacific Fisherman: A very finel
et of moving pictures showing fish j
nd game are now being shown |
liroughout California. These pic
ures are of such educational value
hat the State Pish and Game
ommission and the California a3
ociated societies far the con
ervation of wild life have given
lieir hearty endorsement of them.
)dward A. Salisbury, director of tho I
Iducational Film company, of I.os |
ingeles, has spent almost two years !p
nd many thousands of dollars in F
rocuring these remarkable pic-' l(
i*res. Jn each instance the at- j
smpt. has been made to follow the |
fe of each animal from its birth
3 maturity. The pictures were I
iken in northern California and [
outhern Oregon.
Over a reel and a half is given
o the life-history of a steelhead j
rout. Pictures are showit of the |
lethod by which the fish are trap
ec!7 how the eggs arc- obtained
rora the female fish, and the |
ggs shipped and hatched. All
tnges of tho fry are shown and a I
umber of pictures show the dif
erent species of trout kept ait the |
atclieries for breading purposes,
'he film closes with seme typical
ishing scenes, showing how the
ish are caught.
These moving pictures of fish
nd game not only make people
etter acquainted with the wild life
f California, but they preach con
ervation of fish and' game.

'HE Ft'TURE STATES OF KEN AI
PENINSULA
That the Kenai peninsula more
!ian likely will become a formidable
ompetitor with the.Nomo region in
le matter of gold production . by
redging, is the gencr.il consensus
£ opinion among 'ihe mining men
ow gathered in Seatt'.o from the'
orth, says the Alaska and North
est Mining Journal. „Msny o/
lese men are figuring on the con
duction of dredges for installa-1
on next summer.
The Northerners, gathering from
le gist of their opinion believe in I
le permanency of this district,
iid brought out a number of clean
ps of gold -ranging in value from
few hundred dollars to as much |
5 $30,000. The biggest clean-up
i the year was made on Crowe
•eek by Dick Dawson and asso
ates, who, it is reported, took
nt about $40,000 this year. N. B.

rust Co., one of Dawson's part- j
jrs, this summer brought down a
Dko containing 700 ounces of gold, j

SHAY MAN
MAY BE LOST
Arthur Wilson left Skagway far
Haines o* the Ptterson last Thurs
day with the intention of getting a
boat at the latter place and bringing
it. up litre. A rumor is in circula
tion around town that portions of
the beat had since been found in
the canal between here and Haines,
but Wilson's fritnds do not place
reliance in the rumor as they claim
he was too well s-f quainted with the
treacherous waters to venture out in
a small boat whon the weather was
in an£ way 'hr^a'ening.
Later—Chas. Walker, an iutimate
friend and close neighbor of Wil
son, sent a message to Haines this
afternoon making inquiries and
received the following reply:
Haines, Alaska, Jan. 11, '15.
Chas. Walker,
Skagway, Alaska.
Arthur Wilson left Haines noon
Friaav in a row boat.

was. served during the evening, to
which all did full justice.

tract of ground in this locality. Pad
dy Cummins, formerly of Nome, is
planning the installation of n hy
draulic plant in the same locality.
The Oilpatrick quartz property, sit
uated on Kenai peninsula, 14 miles
from Seward, recently was bonded
to E. G. Wilson of Washington, D.

Ireight and supplies for develop
ment work this winter.
Jack Ronan, who made a fortune
