and she sank. Immense blocks of
Ice piled up around her forming a

Klondiker Liebe to Develop His
Yukon Claims.


Yukon Claims.
Fred Liebe, Portland klondiker. yester-
day purchased a big thawing machine
mine outfit in this city. He will leave for
Dawson Tuesday night on the City Of
Seattle.
Lebe. though young man, probably
not over - years OF age, has been four
years on the Yukon. He Is one Of the
klondike's most successful miners. It Is
his plan to mine largely through the me-
dunn OF the thawing machine, which in
vention the past winter on the Kiondikc
has proven to be q success.
"Our outfit" he said last night at the
Butler. Consists Of a boiler, engine and
derricks. We will develop No. II, below
on Hunker with this machine. Our drills
will be steel pointed. and We will handle
FIVE yards OF dirt at each thawing. this
TO be hoisted from the mine by means OF
the derrick.
ION Hunker We have to raise the dirt
from "a to IS feet. 80 the hoist. or derrick,
will be OF great benefit The thawing ma
chine Is not such labor saving contriv-
ance. It's chief merit lies in the saving Of
fuel. With half cord of wood We can.
with one OF these machines. thaw az much
gravel AS would result from the burning
of four cords by the old process. Last
winter we had 10 pay from so to SIS per
cord for wood. so the cost Of fuel runs up
Liebe says thawing machines were ex-
tensively used on II below on bunker
last winter All told, 90 men we've EN-
ployed in the mine cleanup. which
Liebe estimates at $40 600. No. II is owned
by Francis Albert, OF Vancouver.
Astounding as is the showing made by
No Il. that OF No. 80, below bunker Is
even more

discussing the output. estimate their sea-

ALVARADO MAY
HAVE A DIRECT
LINE BY WATER
Sugar and Water
Company May Act.

ALVARADO. Dec. 5.-This town has
been suddenly thrown into q fever OF ex-
citement over reports that would seem to
indicate bright prospects for cheaper
freight rates from this point 10 San Fran
cisco by rail and water. and IN direct COM
petition with the Southern Pacific Com
pany.
Great interest has been aroused In tho
purchase by the Alameda Sugar Company
OF strip OF land fifty feet wide from the
sugar works 10 tide water. In view OF the
Water Company that the latter would
ship fuel TO this point by water II such
became possible. and, further. in view of
effect that the railroad has been getting
all the profit for hauling their product
from the mill. 1t is believed here that the
sugar company Is preparing TO enter the
railway business on a small scale by max
ing rail connections OF their own with a
water route TO San Francisco.
The purchase OF the strip OF land men
toned was made with the announced in
tention OF making a sewer outlet to the
bay; but the fact OF the width OF the strip,
together with the dissatisfaction directed
contectures, one Of Which, that seems
most plausible. being that railroad way
is to be constructed.
Railroad rates have been advancing
claims that there is but little chance for
II to compete with other concerns. They
argue If they can reach the bay and then
by water carry their product 10 San
Francisco they will be independent OF the
Southern Pacific Company. Moreover. II
is argued that returning vessels could
easily carry fuel for both the sugar COM
pany and the water company at much
lower rates than are in effect now. A saw
ing could thus be made at both ends.
Again. II such a line were opened most of
the merchandise for local merchants
would be shipped here by this new route.
John L. Howard. president OF the Ala
media Sugar Company, when seen at his
home on Vernon Heights tonight. was
inclined to deny the railway story and
asserted that the strip Of land was pur-
chased solely for the purpose Of a right
Of way for a pipe from the works to the
water, by which to carry of the refuse
water. However. he was not prone TO
discuss the subject or enter into details.
