Re efS and Break g rs.

Capt. VIM. Peterson, of the schooner
Challenge, reports the following dangers
noted southeast of Boulder island, Alaska:
Three distinct breakers, in line from
north to south, about one-haf mile long,
in latitude 81 degrees IS minutes north,
longitude I76 degrees minutes 30 sec
onds east; reef running north-northWest
and south-southeast, about three miles
long, over which the sea breaks heavily,
in latitude 81 degrees II minutes north,
longitude Us degrees 81 minutes east;
The Douglas miner. [volume] (Douglas, Alaska) 1896-1897, 1896-11-04

very heavy tide rips in this vicinity,
which would endanger vessel, and that
the whole locality is a dangerous one.
Commander R. K. McAlpine, of her
Britanic Majesty's ship Swift, reports
that the beacon previously standing on
Livuchi rock, eastward of Preshajanski
harbor, Medni island, Boring sea, has now
disappeared.
Lieutenant commander E. K. Moore,
United States ship Patterson, has deVel-
oped the fact that no shoal exists as
indicated on the charts about three-eights
of mile south of 80 degrees east true,
east-northeast Maybe, from the southern
end of Apple islands Alaska, but says that
at least nine fathoms of water is found.

DOUGLAS. ALASKA, WEDNESDAY, NOV 4. 1896


James Sheakley, governor OF Alaska, In
his annual report to the secretary of the
Interior says:
"There is great encouragement in the
outlook for Alaska gold mines. During
the year ending the first of this month,
So, 200, 900 in gold bullion has been taken
from the mines, the greater part being the
product of low grade ores, much of which
Welded less than 81 per ton. Almost any
grade of ores can now be worked at
profit here. Confidence in Alaska as
gold producing country increases with the
development of her resources. The gold
placers of the Yukon region continue to at
tract the attention of gold miners and for
tune seekers, but no rich discoveries have
been reported from there
The report makes plea for the repeal
of the present prohibition liquor law,
which has been demoralizing in its effects
and violated in every community, and
urges the enactment of high license laws,
with suitable safeguards.
On the subject of the fur seal agree
ment the governor says: 'The current
regulations agreed upon bya majority of
the tribunal of arbitration for the prOtec-
ton of fur seals in Boring sea have entirely
failed to afford the protection intended, or
to prevent the obstruction of these animals.
Pelagic sealing, anyway, will result in the
determination of the entire herd within a
few years."
The governor depreciates the cost of the
expensive and burdensome patrol now
necessary, as exceeding the profits of pc
lagic sealing, even if the latter were harm
less.
The Douglas miner. [volume] (Douglas, Alaska) 1896-1897, 1896-11-04
From the Yukon

from che YUKON
Ambitious miners who entertain ideas of
going to the Yukon river mines in search
of gold should not attempt the expedition
unless they have money enough to keep
themselves out of want for at least two
years, is the advice of Louis Sloss Jr. of
the Alaska Commercial company. Mr..
Sloss returned from the North Sunday
night on the steamer Bertha.
'''The class of men who, when 'brolte'
rush off to the newest scenes of gold ex-
element to try their luck should stay
away from Alaska, for poverty and dis
tress will certainly be their reward" said
Mr.. Sloss yesterday. ''Most of this ele-
ment has already left the mines and re-
turned to their homes disguised. But the
men who went there prepared for seige
were able to keep on their feet, so to speak,
and are now prospecting. At DO h the For
ty Mile post and Circle City districts there
is little or no distress. New deposits are
being developed daily. Only placer min
ing is being undertaken at present, but de-
posts have been found that are very rich
Before long a dozen quartz mines will be in
operation. In fact, from my observations
am satisfied that quartz mining will be
the great industry there
Mr.. SlosS made complete circuit of the
various mining districts and brought back
$o5, 900 worth of gold dust that he had
purchased en- route. He says that he
found more suffering among the miners
who went to Cook Inlet They made the
mistake of going there too early in the
season-in fact, long before the snow was
off the ground. Then, what was even
worse, but few mines have been developed
there, and they could get no employment
j. E. Spur, H. B. Goodrich and F. O.
Schrader, of the United States Geological
Survey also returned on the Bertha. They
were sent to the Yukon mines by the gov
eminent to report on the prospects of
quartz mining there. While they have
not compiled their report, the gentlemen
do not hesitate to speak we'll of the out
look for quartz INNINGS. F. Elk.

FOR FORTY DAYS.
Sentence of Mrs. Silverlock, Her
Daughter and Kate Jeffries.

The Police Court was crowded to the
utmost yesterday morning. The chief
OBJECT OF interest was the trial of Mrs
Siiverlock, her fourteen-year-ol old daugh-
ter, Maude, and their mutual friend.
rate Jeffries, on charges of vagrancy
Kate Jeffries has lived with a man
named Coachman for some time, and
mas assumed his name, though Mrs.
Coachman is still living in the city.
and is respected by all who know her.
But the crowd was somewhat disap-
pointed in it's expectations, for the case
was quite tame, very little direct evil
Gence being put in. Several persons
testified that Mrs. Silverlock was drunk
a good part of the time, but the re-
mainder merely testified that the gem
eral regulations of those accused and
the house in which they resided were
unSavory.
There was no sympathy shown by the
crowd, even for the girl who seemed
entirely lost to all the softening infiu-
enceS of home or good society. Be
tween mother and daughter there ap-
peared to be small choice There was
only one thing to be done, and Justice
Davis did it. He declared each of the
three guilty as charged, and then SEN
fenced them to serve forty days each
in the County Jail.
The arrest of the women was the
work of Officers Fisher and Naghel
and they say that in the matter they
neither asked for nor received assist
ance from any other person.

FORTUNATE GRACIE NELSON
The Maynard Girl Not Sent to tie
Whittier School.
Judge Johnson Commits Her to the
Care of the Salvation Army
Women.

There is CLEAN of hope for Oracle
Nelson, the pretty but wayward flower
girl. who was the other day committed
by Judge Johnson to the Whittier
School of Industry.
1t seemed at the time as if that were
about the only disposition that could
be made of her, but since then the good
women of the Salvation Army have
come forward and offered to take the
girl and see if they cannot reform her.
Accordingly, the girl, with "her gold
en- hair hanging down her back" was
taken before Judge Johnson again yes
terday for another hearing. Captain
Oracle Mead of the Salvation Army was
there and promised the Judge that if
allowed to take charge of the girl the
Salvation Army people would take her
to their Rescue Home, near Oakland,
and do their best to restore her to the
ways of morality.
Judge Johnson had really resolved
upon this course, but in order to i'm
press upon the girl as forcibly as possi-
