Saw Discovery Wrecked

Though nearly Il year has elapsed, the exact time, place and manner of the loss of the ilI-fo,ed Alaska steamer Discovery is just now known. The interesting in- formation comes from Chief John. of the Littuya bay tribe of Indians. Chief John was perhaps the last person living to see the Discovery afioat.
 The old Indian stated that the vessel was foundrring when he saw her November ?, the day after she left faku,at. Apparently her off cers were trying to put into Littu- Va bay, but seemingly they had no control over the vessel. An awful storm ragged at the time. The Dis covery, seemingly waterlogget!. pitched and rolled. She would plunge down bow first and almost sink from view, then rise and 20 down astcrn. For nearly an hour Chief John saw her laboring. when she disappeared altogether while rounding the point on the southern side of Littuya bay.
 At the time the wind was blow ing a living gale. Heavy seas were running and so angrily that no small craft, had any been there, would have dared to venture out.
 Chief John says that there can be no doubt that the Discovery went down while rounding the southern point of Littuya bay and and that every person on board of her must have perished. The old native is regarded as truthful and trustworthy not only by the peo- pie of his tribe, but the whites as well.
 The Discovery sailed Oct. 18th, 1903, from Nome for Seattle. She had upwards oi 30 passengers on board when she left Nome, but riany of them left the vessel at Sand Point, Kodiak and Valdez. iakutat was the las; port made hy the Discovery.

Curtai1ed Rampant Cleanup.

It is estimated that the early frosts have curtailed the summer cleanup in the Rampant Dis trict fully $lO0,000. The abun- dance of water in July and August had enabled the miners to ground sluice and get much grornd in con dition for shoveling in. With two or three weeks continuous soft weather a lot of money may vet be taken from this ground; but the season has advanced so far that every hour counts and the time al- ready lost means much. The Ea- gle Company quit for the season $25, ,OO0 short of what they reason ably expected. The What Cheer Bar Company will probably fall $lO,OO0 below what would have been accomplished with normal weather; Johnson < Spicer on Eu- reka, 5000; Johnson x Jordan. on Seattle Bar, several thousand; Ott x Swanson's hydraulic plant. on Hunter. Louie Shequin. Frank Graham. P,ck and Laboski, on it. tie Minook, all considerable amounts. The Hoosier Hydraulic Company were not delayed in washing down, and with favorable weather may yet reach a cleanup. Yukon Valley News.
