SEWARD ASSURED
 OF BUILDING BOOM

Seward k guaranteed 8 building boom shortly after New Wears Day which has every prospect oi continu- ing throughout the year. Scores Of buildings have been waiting for weeks for material. and with the arrival of nearly 100000 feet of lumber, be- sides all other necessary building material. on the Harold Oollarand the bark Nicholas Thaycr, the work vii. begin on a more extended scale than the town has ever seen.
 The Harold Dollar, chartered by the Kenai Lumber % Fuel Company, should reach port before the end of this month. Early in January the bark Nicholas Thaycr, chartered by ". R. Jamisou, will arrive. Each will bring nearly 5o0,Ooo feet of um- ber.
 Several excavations have been made for large structure, and work on the buildings will begin as soon as lumber is hauled across the wharyes. A large number of buildings are planned, but the owners are waiting untt. material to complete them is actually at hand. Numerou, dwelling houses are also planned which will give every mechanic in town aud many more em- ploymeut for months.
 It is predicted by men who have lately come in from che outside tha, Seward will have rush of new popu- latiou next year and that the influx will begin before spring All these people must be sheltered and in au- ticipa,ion of the demand for houses much building will be done by prop erty owners during the winter. Many of the newcomers also, will no doubt come here prepared Jo build jmmedi- ately.
 Seward has little winter weather which interfereS with outdoor building and with numerous structures uu- der way the time Of occasional storms which may drive mechanics inside can be employed under shelter. So far this fall outside work has been stopped less than a week by cold, and now and then by heavy rains. Lack oimaterial has held building back much more than bad weather.

 FLOODED TUNNEL
Two Men Stand Above Rushing Waters Forty Hours Until
 Saved by Swimmers
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

New York. Dec. 2O-A caye-in flooded the East river tunnel with water and imprisoned two Italians for forty hours. They faced imminent death all that time until three swimmers went through the tunnel and brought the men out on their backs.
 The men were repairing a caiSSon in the side of the tunnel when the cave-in occurred and rush of water nearly swept them away. They managed to climb upon a platform above the caissou, where they remained during all the forty hours without food, and part of the time in water up to their waists. At times the current was so strong that the men could scarcely re- tain their hold upon the timbers, and every moment they faced the posSi- biHty of being carried away or oibeing submerged where they stood

SILVER AND COPPER RISE
Both Metals Experience Marked
 Increase in Price

Silver and copper have both been steadily rising in price for two months. The rise in the price of silver is al- most phenomenal. In early October bar silver was quoted at 50 cents an ounce. Early in December it was quoted at G5i. The rise is ascribed to the sudden discovery that the demand is getting ahead of the supply, and this fact has given the metal some speculative value.
 The quotation on copper brought by the latest outside papers was Is cents a pound for small lots and immediate delivery. For large lots on time de- livery the figure was r! cents. It is the belief thai the price is likely to go still higher.
 The silver quotation is the highest since 1896. After the gold standard victory in the Presidential election of that year silver declined rapidly and it's average price in the nine years has not exceeded D cents an ounce.

NAH CARRIERS STAllED
Dogs Unable to Pull SledS through
 Snow on Sunrise Trail

Al last reports the mail carriers on the Sunrise route were stalled in the snow about three miles up Johnson creek from the station where they leave the railroad track at mile 34. The dogs were unable to pull the sled through the newly fallen snow, which was deep and soft, and the carriers camped and waited for it to settle. They were still waiting in camp last Monday, when the last report was re- ceived from them.
 Fred Haefs and Sam Wagner are carrying the mail. They left Seward last "Wednesday with an unusually heavy load, and when they started up- hill along Johnson creek the dogs sunk in the soft snow to their bodies, and were unable to proceed

HAROLD DOLLAR 10
 COME TO SEWARD

Steamer Harold Dollar will come to Seward instead of the Grace Dollar, which was first chartered, but is still in the dry dock for repairs. The Harold Dollar sailed from San Fran cisco for Seattle last Monday, and no doubt reached the Sound port before this time and it now engaged in load ing her Seward cargo. She is yeS- ,eI of 23oO ton, capacity.
 The report that the Grace Dollar wa, in Seattle proves to be am error.
 The report was broughtup by Nelson Rich. who came up on the last santa Clara. but he was evidently mi,in- formed. When the message came to F. R. Gray a few day, ago stating that the "Dolar' would sail for Seward the 2Ist he naturally assumed that the Grace Dollar was meant. This morning a message came from the Dollar com nluy stating that the Harold Dollar sailed thc 18th from San Francisco.
 The Harold Dollar will come direct to Seward if she can clear for this port. She will not carry a pound of freight for any other port The new deputy collector for the port of Sew ard. r.. Finch Putnam, is expected to arrive here on the santa Ana and it may be arranged for the Dollar to come slrNLghL Co Seward.

MfNL EXHIBITS ills DEVIL
An Eccentric Detroit Man Makes
 Money Out of Freak Statue

Herman Menz is having 'deyil of a time" in Detroit. One recent Sun day thousands of spectators crowded cars, delivery wagons, trucks and other vehicles in an endeavor to get a sight of the devil which Menz had erected in front of his house. Menz fearing that his statue would be torn down, took it off its pedestal and re- moved it to the back yard The crowd became so importunate to get a sight of the gargoyle that Menz finally agreed Co let everyone have a look at the image for 10 cents per rubber. He made over $2OO in the afternoon, which shows that he might not be so datTy as some are inclined to believe him.
 The city is now preparing to make Menz pay license and in answer to a from the city to the effect that he would have to pay for the privilege of exhibiting his devil, Menz, in a reply, said he had as much right to show his devil for money as the ministers holding a revival meet ing in tent near his residence had to be conducting their operations.

Crowd With fitE

The sympathy of the crowd was with F'itz all through the fight, and O'Brien was hissed and jeered when he tucked and ran away from Fitz each time the latter rushed. O'Bricn refused to mix things but kept lodging in and out. displaying remarkable foot work and sparring skill. Fitz swung over and over again but nearly every time found nothing but empty air. Several times he nearly fell through the ropes from the force of his own blows which failed to land.
 Fitz fought hard and displayed much of his old time skill, but nature could not stand the prolonged strain. O'Brien landed repeatedly and Fitzsimmons was badly cut about the face but he kept coming back game until O'Brien landed the stomach punch In the thirteenth round. Fitz had just landed several blows when O'Brien suddenly countered with hard left to the stomach, followed by light left to the jaw.
 The gong sent Fitz to his corner where he suddenly collapsed. Nothing a moment before indicated his con- dition. He walked steadily to his chair and sat down, but immediately was overcome by utter weakness. After ward he said he was all in last night. An immense crowd saw the fight.

Seventh: O'Brien landed on Fitz- simmons kidneys and followed with right and left to jaw, but Fitz came right back with a right to O'Brien's face and right upper cut to the body. He shot left to Jacks face and a right swing to the body, but O'Brien countered. with two wicked right smashes to the face, one blow raising a welt over Fitz's right eye.
 Eighth: O'Brien drove left to face and Fitz landed two lefts to the jaw. They clinched and O'Brien was eau tioned for holding on. O'Brien ripped a nasty right over the eye and then floored Fitz with right to the jaw which made Bob groggy. Fitz took a hard left to the body and was forced to the ropes, O'Brien landing two lefts on the face. At the end of the round Fitz was unsteady but recuperating.

Gets Lot of Challenges

San Francisco, Dec. 22.-Philadel- phia Jack O'Brien was challenged yesterday by Tommy Ryan, Sam Berger and Marvin Hart. He may take Hart on first. Berger is a local amateur heavy weight, of about the same class as Al Kaufman, whom O'Brien defeated few weeks ago. He is regarded as a possible champion and local sports are anxious for him to have a tryout with O'Brien as test of the respective merits of himself and Kaufman.
 O'Brien received $7l5S, the winners end of the purse, for his fight with Fitzsimmons. Fitz received S23S6. The clubs percentage gave it S6362. The fighters received 60 per cent. of the gate receipts, divided 75 to the winner and p to the loser.
 Fitzsimmons will return to the stage and give up fighting for good. He ad- mits that his day is past but says the public forced him to fight as Jeffries' retirement left him champion of the world and he had to defend the title.

 Fifth: O'Brien fought for Fitzsim- mons sore face and kept begging away with his left. He landed re- peatedly and had Fitz bleeding from nose and mouth. Suddenly Fitz sent a left to O'Brien's mouth which drew blood, and he followed it up with hard right and left swings upon the jaw.
 sixth: O'Brien tries aggressive work and keeps begging away at Bob's face whenever possible. He displayed wonderful footwork and Fitz missed repeated swings which wonld have ended the fight had any of them land ed. Fitz went to his knees once after missing powerful right swing for the jaw. Later he landed a hard left swing on O'Brien's ear.

Fight By Rounds

In the first round the men spared for an opening and only four blows were struck. In the second O'Brien was driven to his corner where he ducked a powerful left swing for his jaw. As he slipped out Fitz landed a light uppcrcut on his face. Fitz lost his balance from a missed swing and O'Bricn landed right and left on Bob's face, and they clinched. Fitz landed left and right on Jacks face and Jack countered with left on body.
 In the third Fitz rushed O'Brien, who backed away and Fitz landed a left uppercut on the jaw and moment later another left on the face.
