The Wolcott.

That grand little steamship Wolcott tied up at the Juneau wharf the first of the week. She left us several months ago and monkeyed around on the south ern coast for some time. She goes from here to Sitka and then on west to Dutch Harbor. Capt. Snow, new one on us, is in command. Capt Crockett, the finest fellow that ever lived, her former commander, got lost in the shuffle, somewhere, and when last heard from was in command of a Seattle tug boat, Charley Baker, the old purser, is, on the Golden Gate. Heaven was made for such men as Capt Crockett and Purser Baker.

Butler, Captain.

The tug Pilot, steamed up the chan nel last Thursday. She lowed the coal laden barge Colorado to the Taku, but it was too rough to cross and she was anchored until the storm subsided. One of the Pilots boilers needed repairs which were made and she returned Fri day and brought the tow up to Tread well. The Pilot did not tarry long, but took the Richard III in tow for the Ia coma shelter where she will discharge over 1900 tons of sulphates. The fact the Island was on the verge of coal famine made the arrival of the Cobra do a welcome visitor.

At Treadwell.

A News man went down to Treadwell this morning. One of the first men we met was Supt. A. w. Corbus who had the appearance of being well satisfied with the condition of affairs around the works.
 "What is the big Three Hundred mill doing now?" he was asked by the News man.
 "Why, she is running. All the mills are running except the 700. The sup DIV of water still keeps the stamps dropping, sometimes more, sometimes less. To-day about 60 stamps are drop ing"
 "Can you account for the fair supply of water when everything is apparent ly frozen up and the weather so cold?"
 Mir. Corbus smiled, but would ven ture no opinion upon the matter. Why, think of it! the management expected the big mill to close down three months ago.
