BOATING ON THE SHUSHETNA
ProspectOr Tells How to Get up the
 River From the Inlet

For the information of proSpectorS who may wish to go up the Shushetna river to prospect this summer the fol- lowing description of the river from the inlet to the forks was written for the Gateway by II. F. Gallagher, who spent the summer of 1904 prospecting and exploring along the upper Shu- Shcrna, going up by boat
 The usual route up the river has been by way of Tyoonok. The village ofTyoonok is situated at the upper end of Cook inlet, about twenty miles from the entrance to the river, Twenty-Five miles up the river is Shu,hetua station. Small boats start ing from TyoonoG on the tide, with small sail can usually make the river nearly Co the station on one tide. A good breeze usually accompanies the tide. which runs seven or eight miles am hour. Ir is always advisable for those who have not made the trip and who are not familiar with the entrance into the river to hire 8 native at Tyoonok to pilot them as far as the station, OF to the mouth of the Nentna, which cmpties into the Shushetna not far from the station.
 It l, extremely dangerous to attempt to make the mouth of the Shushetna if one is not thoroughly familiar with the coast line, as the river cannot be seen until the boat is quite close to it, on account of the dense growth of underbrush and trees which from a . distance completely hide it from view. And it is important that the boat should get into the river on one tide, for should the tide turn and leave a boat on the mud flats, which are eX- posed for a mile or two out at low tide except in the river channels, the boat would be in danger of being swamped in the next tide. In coming down the river after leaving the station one should catch the full ebb tide. In case of heavy wind OF storm he should gc into camp until it is over.

Begins Making Cement Blocks

Experiments were made this week in cement block making by the Seward Construction & Development Company with the gravel in its pit on mile r of the Alaska Central with results that were eminently satisfactory. W. J. Stone is experimenting the work and he reports that an examination has shown the gravel beds are of extensive area and will last for many years. The quality is of the best for the mak- ing of cement. Five machines have been set up to make blocks of different descriptions and about ten men will be employed in cement making

PORTLAND MINE FIRE.
immense Shaft House at Victor De-
stroyed,

Victor, Colo.-The most destructive
fire in the history of the Cripple Creek
district, with the exception of the one
which wiped out the towns of Cripple
Creek and Victor a few years ago, oc-
CURED Monday night at IL o'clock at
the Portland mine, when shaft house
No. l, with its expensive machinery,
the boiler room and part of the oil
house, was consumed.
1t is impossible to estimate definitely
the loss, but the damage will be be-
tween S250,000 and 100000.
The men working in the mine were
quickly gotten out through shaft No.
Q and the Dillon shaft. None were in
jured.
The men on the surface exploded dy-
Mantle to stop the flames, blowing up
one of the small Office buildings and a
portion of the ore house. This stopped
the spreading flames and undoubtedly
saved number of the surface build
ings.
This fire will put between 400 and
500 men out of work for several weeks.
There are 610 men on the company's
pay roll.
w. a. Green, boilerman, was blown
through the air, turning complete
back somersault, by the explosion. He
was burned about the face, chest and
arms, but is not seriously injured. He
is the only man injured.

WRECK IN WYOMING.
Fearful Loss Of Life and Suffering
Near Natrona.

Denver.-One OF the worst wrecks in
the history of Wyoming railroads oc-
CURED late Sunday night on the Chi
cago & Northwestern, near Natrora.
According to Casper dispatches a work
train feeling its way over section
inundated by rains and melting snow
suddenly dropped through a bridge
spanning a small stream and in an in
slant twenty-seven men, pinioned by
the wreckage of cars, were being
smothered in mud. Before they could
be extricated ten were dead, two were
fatally injured and the remaining vic
tins suffered untold agony while
awaiting the arrival Of medical aid.
The railroad sent relief train from
Casper promptly, but 1t was blocked
by a weak bridge. The doctors crossed
the stream on a wagon bridge and took
a handcar, which was soon stuck In
snow, furious storm arising. The res
cuers were compelled to await the ar
rival of teams to convey them to the
scene of the wreck. the delay being
eighteen hours.
The wreck occurred at O'Clock as
the train was crossing a small stream
TAe engine passed over in safety. but
it's weight broke down the piling,
which had been undermined by the
food waters, and the cars following
dropped into the ravine.
The one coach was filed with Aus
trian and Italian laborers. 1t was tel
escoped by heavy water car follow
ing and crushed like an egg shell.
Many of the passengers were caught
under the wreckage, and 1t was hours
before they were taken out. One or
two v,ere drowned and several were
killed outright. Several laborers were
thrown into the water and had narrow
escapes from drowning.

japanese Famine Sufferers.

Tokio.-The misery and suffering il.
the famine district has been slightly re-
lieved by the prompt and liberal aid
of the foreign sources and the abate-
ment of the rigors of winter. The To-
cal authorities are trying to provide
work for the able-bodied, but the ex-
tent of the work is inadequate and
lives of thousands of people are still
on the verge of starvation. Many par
ents are parting with their children,
sending them to the alfeady crowded
Okayama orphanage.
The severity of the suffering under
gone by the children is clearly de-
picted in the faces of those who are
compelled to part from their homes,
where the food consists of flour mixed
with straw and weeds. The mixture Is
beaten fine, forming pastry which
contains only twenty-five per cent. act
ual food value.

Mutual Life.

New York.-The first complaint in a
series of eight actions already begun
by the Mutual Life Insurance Company
against former President Richard A.
McCurdy, his son, Robert H. McCurdy,
and the firm of Charles NJ. Raymond &
Co.. the company's former metropoli-
tan agents, has been made public.
The particular complaint is against
former President McCurdy and con-
tains nine separate causes of action. In

contributions to political parties since
January /, 1885. These contributions
are stated to have been $4,000 in
1896. $4,000 in 1900 and $4,000 in
1904 to the national Republican cam
paign committee; $4,000 in 1904 to the

halls and the curtailment OF what is
called the personal liberties of the
people. The meeting was held in the
First Regiment armory, where 10000
people were crowded together. Out.

Insurance Fraud Cases.

against Mrs. Bessie McEachern,

Kellogg, originally named with j. j..
McEachern and John Varley, charging
conspiracy to defraud and obtain
money under false pretenses. on the
first of which the two defendants now
stand convicted. were nollied Thurs
day by the district attorney. The
charge of obtaining money under false
pretenses still holds against McEach

Insurance cases which followed the at

money through blowing up body, rep

illegal medical offices" located in
those cities, and also to refuse to de-
