WHITE PRosPECroRs KILLED.
Another Series OF Crimes Committed
in the Frozen North.

Another Series OF Crimes Committed
in the Frozen North.
TACOMA wash, Nov. 6.-The steamer
Chilkat, from Alaska, arrived here yes
terday, bringing news OF another series
of crimes that have been committed in
the frozen north. The Chilkat left Alaska
on October 9th with 5000 cases of salmon
for shipment from here to England.
On October 29th she stopped at Fort
Wrangle, and while there her officers
learned that four white men had been
found in the camp at Point Barry, Ku-
prenof Island, with their heads cut off
and all the clothing stripped from their
bodies.
The island is located about fifty miles
from Fort Wrangel, in Rocky Passage.
Deputy Collector Jesse Tolman of Fort
Wrangel and ten men, part of them Gov
ernment employees, left on the steamer
Lively to investigate these cold-blooded
murders as soon as the news was re-
ceived.
a week previous another man had been
found dead and the body decapltated on
the same island. and but short time be-
fore that decomposed body had been dis
covered by some prospectors. Thus far
six of these murders are known to have
beeu committed in that section.
There was evidence that terrible strug-
gle had occurred in the camp where the
bodies were found, and the ground for
some distance around was despatched
with blood. Appearances indicated that
the men had been killed with clubs and
dull axes. The bodies were badly mutt
lated and could not be identified, though
the men are supposed to have been min
ing prospectOrs, as large number of
miners had been working on the island
during the summer.
Two of the heads had been stuck up
outside on the poles, the flesh having
been eaten off by crows or other birds OF
prey. These terrible crimes are supposed
to have been committed by the Kake In
diads as result of the Edwards trouble
last year. AT that time white man was
killed and his friends drove the Indians
inland for some distance.
The Indians sWOre vengeance, and it is
believed that they executed their purpose
the first time they found party OF white
men alone. The Indians in that section
are said to be very superstitious and hard
to control.
This probably caused them to strike
blow of revenge at their first opportunity
The authorities at Fort Wrangel told
Captain Carlson of the steamer Chilkat
that they would make every endeavor 10
find and punish the murderers. This is
| especially desired, as the Indians are now
so violent that the missionaries are afraid
to live there.

Arctic to-day, brings news of the de-
structlon of the whaling bark Helen Mar,
Captain Tha1ter, and the loss of thirty
five of her crew. Only five of the vessels
men We're saved. On October 9th, while
the Helen Mar was engaged in cutting in
whale in latitude II 80 north, longi-
tude 1882 30 west, she was crushed in the
ice. The ice came in a crush, and with
out warning. The vessel and boats were
crushed to splinters, and the officers
and men had no time to lower
a boat and get away. Fifth Mate Ward,
a boat steerer, cook Ocey Kershaw and
two sailors were the only ones saved.
They clung to the mainmast as it went
over on the ice. The rest of the crew, in
Guiding Captain Thaxter, were either
crushed to death or drowned For forty
eight hours the five men clung TO the
mast, and were finally taken off by the
steam whaler Orca. The Beluga brought
down with her the cook and a Japanese
sailor OF the Mar. Two others remained
on the Orca and one went on the whaler
Reindeer. The Helen Mar had taken
five whales before her destruction, and
was owned by Wright, Bowen 81 Co. of
this city. William Robinson, chief officer
OF the whaler +. A. Barstow and JohE
Gallagher of the Thrasher, died in the
Arctic.
While the crew of the whaler were
buslly engaged in cutting up a whale the
vessel was caught in a swift current and
was carried between two big icebergs.
They came together, crushing the bark
to pieces, and she sank almost imme-
diately.

CHIHUAHUA (Mexico), Nov. 6.-The
State and General Governments are much
alarmed over the Indian troubles in the
western part OF the State in the Sierra
Madre Mountains. The Taqui Indians
are greatly aroused over the wholesale
massacre Of Tomachie Indians by the
Government troops. Peaceable Yaquis
are leaving their farms with their wives
and children, and are gathering at an ap-
pointed rendezvous, where they have
discovered another patron saint. in the
person of a beautiful Mexican girl named
Ancta Raca. Saint Aucta urges the In
dian Worshipers TO make war on the
Mexieans, and reclaim the rich lands
taken in the Yaqui River Valley. The
Indians and several hundred ignorant
MeXicans are now preparing depreda-
tions and war of determination. An out
break is expected as soon as the winter
sets in, and the Government is making
active preparations to qOell any disturb

WORK ON THE LEVEE
The Busy Scene Witnessed Yesterday
Along the River Front

Along the River Front.
The railroad company did great work
on the river front yesterday. A large
force of men were kept employed raising
the railroad tracks and spreading the
earth brought in by long trains of flatcars
from the riverbed.
The cars are unloaded by a sort of plow
or scraper, which covers their full width
and is drawn forward from the rear to
the front car as fast as man can walk.
A train a hundred yards long is unloaded
in this manner in about one minute.
The work was prosecuted yesterday in
order to take advantage of the usual IulI
in the making up of freight trains on the
river front on Sunday. Crowds of people
rode on the tiatcars to and from the point
on the river where the loading is done
by the wonderful steam shovel.
No one can witness the rapidity with
which = the river bank is being raised
and broadened without realizing the
great saving the cityhas made by giving
the contract 10 the railroad company at
such low figure.
