Powers st,n Alive.

Last Tuesdays Denver News states
that Mrs. " ". Powers, has received
letter from her husband. conveying the
delayed information that he was among
the passengers on the steamer Islander.
that sank in the year of 1901, but that he
with a companion escaped death by con-
structing raft and floating to shore. 1t
seems that Powers has been prospecting
far in the interior of Alaska and he is
evidently a poor correspondent. as he
does not communicate with his family
except at rare intervals. While in his
letter. which is dated at Dawson city,
December s,h, he requests his wife not
to write until she hears from him again,
she Believes that he will arrive IN Denver
about the first OF the coming year. Mr..
Powers description of the shipwreck is
as follows: When the ship started TO sink
he and another man tied a spar to a
couple of bales of oakum and floated
ashore. They had no idea of where they
bad landed and immediately afterward
they struck off across the country and
made for their camps. For two years
they trsmped over the western part OF
the territory aud at last. the first part Of
November in 1908. came 10 Dawson and
found in Que of the daily papers an sc-
count Of those that were drowned when
the Islander sank, stating that he was
one, and that his wife was still looking
for her husband He at once wrote to
Mrs. Powers and told her of his exper-
ieuce- In the letter he says that he
thong hit that he was dead to the world
long ago.
Mr.. n. W. Powers WAS one OF the pio-
neers that went to Alaska during the
stampede in 1894. He as the first record
CT on the American side. In 1897 he
came to Denver but returned the follow
ing fall. In 1901 he again left Skagway
for Denver, boarded the Islander and he
and another were the only persons saved.
There were 500 OH the ship at the time
of the wreck. Three hundred and twenty
were drowned and the remainder with
the exception of two-Mr. Powers and
his companiou--died from exposure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powers and family for
merly lived in this place, and many of
our citizens will be pleased to learn that
Mrs. Powers faith in the ultimate reun-
ion with her husband has not been in
vain.
