MOUNT VESUVIUS IS
RAPIDLY REAWAKENING
Naples, Italy, Dec IT—Mount Ve
suvius is rapidly reawakening to
another of its periodic eruptions
which from the time of the destruc
tion at its base of the cities of
Pompeii and Herculaneum have nev
er failed to exact a heavy toll of
life and property. Within the past
six months scientific observations
made in the crater by French, Ital
ian and German scientists have left
no doubt as to the growing state
of activity. The last and most ar
duous of these observations was
made recently when Professor Mal
ladra of the Vesuvian observatory,
and Professors Max Stoltz nnd Paul
Jacobi, two Munich scientists, des
cended into the crater for a dis
tance of 370 meters the greatest
depth ever reached by human being
in the crater of any volcano.

is expected that 300 will compete
with him. Ski clubs throughout the
country and this district arc hold
ing meetings and planning for the

WELL KNOWN CLOTHING FIRM j
TO HAVE NEW QUARTERS I
The well known firm or Dortero
& Son, men's clothing and furnish
ings, of which Vincent Dortero is
the junior partner and business
manager, are having the buildliig on
Broadway, formerly occupied by Pet
er Kern as a jewelry store, remod
elled and thoroughly repaired before
removal into it from their present
location.
The firm at the present time car
ry a large and well selected stock
Of goods but It is the intention to
greatly increase this when the re
moval to the new quarters is made.
Tony Dortero, father of Vincent,
and senior member of the firm, has
been in the fruit, confectionery, ci
gar and fancy grocery business in
Skagway since the early days, and is
well and favorably known to every
old-timer in the country, and from
him Vincent has received a thorough
commercial training.
Allthough Vincent is just verging
upon manhood, the father had so
much confidence in his ability and
judgment that he turned the entire
management of the business over to
the young man, and the excellent
stock carried bears silent witness
that it was not misplaced
The change of location will oc
cur about the first of the year.

Clias. Karaman and John Clekak,

have leased the building on the cor
ner of Second Avenue and Broad
way, opposite the Golden North Ho
tel, formerly occupied by the Horse
shoe Liquor Co., and will shortly
open a first class eating house. They
are both too well known in Skagway
as purveyors to need special men
tion of their abilities in that line.
The Daily Alaskan, however, is
pleased to know that they intend to
again eater business here.
JAPANESE COOK IS
DROWNED AT KETCHIKAN
Fred Ishiwura a Japanese who
had "cm in t.ic emplo" of the Al
aska Industrial Company, as cook
for the past ten years, was un
doubtedly drowned, or succumbed to
exposure during the gale of Saturda
He left the Jumbo wharf in a small
gasoline launch at 1:30 p. m. dur
ing the height of the storm and
against the remonstrances of the
men there, intending to go to the
Sulzer wharf, which is about three
miles distant. Upon leaving it was
observed that he was having engine
trouble, but when last seen he seem
ed to be going all right anil naci
made about one quarter or the dis
tance. A few moments later his
boat could not be seen but as no
one had seen the launch capsize it |
was thought he had drifted into one
of the indentions of the shore. A
search was at once begun and con
tinued into Saturday night but noth
ing could be found of the man or
boat. The search was renewed
early Sunday and the launch was
soon found about midway between
the two wharves with only six inch
es of the bow above water, but no
trace of the missing man has been
discovered.—Ketchikan Miner.
