I CAP1\ THORNTON' VISITS
»K\C,\VAV oy TILLAMOOK
Thb gasoline power schooner Tilla
mook arrived In Skagway for the
first t'me, yesterday morning. The
Tillamook is owned by the Grand
Trunk Pacific and Alaska S. S. Co.,
and Is used on the run between
Prince Rupert and Ketchikan and
other Southeastern ports for the
transportation of fish. She has a
capacity of 12,000 cases of fieh and
is very speedy and comfortable.
She carries a crew of eighteen men
and ims good passenger accommoda
tions.
The Tillamook's a largo gasoline
ship w'fh a capacity of 525 tons
and She brought a cargo of ties for
this port for the W. P. & Y. Route.
Tae Tillamook is commanded by J
Captain Ed. Thornton, who for manjj
year» ,was the commander of the
S. S. Georgia which Tan on the tri
angle run of Juneau* Sitka-Skagway
and was the most popular boat that
; ever plied these northern waters.
Capt, Thornton, was busy all day
shaking hands with his friends here
and as of yore, bore away with him
as many flowers as they could bes
tow on him, notwithstanding the
lateness of the seaosn.
With Captain Thornton, was his
purser, Lieut G. B. Robb, who is
returned from the front after three
years of active service in the Can
adian army, in which he was gassed
and severely wounded. Mr. Robb is
from Winnipeg and is filling the
nositon of purser on the Tillamook
where he is regaining his health
rapidly. He was warmly greeted by
many of our townspeople and to
whom he told interesting stories of
"over there" albel he is a most
modest and unassuming young man.
The Tillamook left at eleven o'
clock last night L V
NEW SCRAPER INVENTED
A\TXiL BOOST MINING
From all report* tlie new under
ground. scraper which Is now operat
ing on IS below Fairbanks creek Is
doing marvflotis work.. The scraper
is the invention of Jack Tool and
j X. C. Stewart, and from its present
[performance will revolutionize the
mining game in Alaska.
The equipment N>ing used at pre*
ent is a small sized Bagley scraper
operated by a 6x8 double drum hoist
with the leads being arranged for
the filling and return of the scrap
er. At present the scraper is oper
ating in a tunnel 120 feet in length
from th<» shaft, terminating in a
crosscut in which the scraper works.
The dirt is loaded into the car by
means of a trap, the runway of the
car being five feet in bedrock and
below the level of the pay dirt.
From the observation of Val Die*
bold, who paid a irisit to the mine
in which the new scraper is work
ing, the actual porformance of the
scraper by tinraig was 49 seven
wheelbarrow buckets in one and
one-half hours, l>eing the equival
ent of three T-mon gangs or twen
ty-one men for tl le same length of
time.
But three men: are employed
thp Plant of the» aew invention;' a
hoist man, one <jar tender, and a
man to look s.ftar the lines and
blocks.
Tho rnnat iMfilmil* nart of the
working of tno Hew machine is the
securing of enought thawed dirt tc
keep It going isteadlly, and when
that problem is 6tudied °ut the
economical wo rking of all low grad<
ground will baa great factor in
making the ou.tput for this camp up
to tnat of former years. The in
ventors are d-dw VroT'cing on a thaw
ing machine which, if is hoped, wil
keep the gro and tnscwed in such
quantities th at no cessation of the
work will b a required. This wil'
permit the £,TOund being able to
produce undiar ordinary circumstanc
es about 40 buckets an nour. The
main requisite is large bodies of
ground that could bei worked in quid
time. The only additional expense
would be the employment of one
axtra man whc.se work would be
putting in. bolTxheadfe to prevent the
ground froan slabbing oft
To *he inv entors credit must be
given for de' voting so much time to
the bettermr mt of the mining game
in thJa cam p. should their inven
tion ©rove ' the success that is hoped
all of the old machinery in the
camp will be used iu some manner
or otber i n equipping mines in the
modern it iethod.—Fairbanks News
