Just as the dawn of yesterday was
lighting up the broad Columbia and de-
Gning the lofty contour of Tongue
Point for those on board the steamship
Costa Rica, that vessel crashed into a
fishing boat belonging to the Columbia
River Packers Association, that was ly'
ing without lights in mid channel,
with Capt Matt Hummasti and his
boat-puller, and brother Hendrick, as
leep ON the thwarts.
Capt. Hummasti was swept overheard
and drowned. while his brother who
did not catch the full force of the blow
went over the side, but chung to the
boat and drifted away into the shad'
ows.! The steamer forged ahead fof
quite a distance before Captain Snow,
her pilot. could bring her to standstil
This done she was sent astem again
and sharp lookout kept for the unfor-
tunate people and the wrecked yawl,
but no sign, other than the seine they
were using at the time Of the accident.
was discovered. This the master of the
steamer turned over to a passing motor
fish boat with directions to take it to
the headquarters of the comptny.
After sending out boat on dill
gent search for the stricken men and
their boat, and keeping it up for an hour
or more, without any success, the Costa
Rica came on to her pier and took on
such passengers and freight as were
waiting her, and proceeded to sea.
In the meantime, the swamped boat
of the Hummasti brothers was sweeping
along on the tide. and was, fortunately,
seen by two other fishermen, named Lou
is Williams and Christ larson, and they
went to the relief of the man who was
clinging to it as fast as skill and
good boat could make it. They took
him in and went with all speed to the
northshore at point between Booths
and the old Hanthorn cannery. and there
disembarked and all due attention was
paid to the unhappy fisherman. He ad-
mitted that both he and his brother
were asleep when their boat was struck
and that no light was burning, but
claimed that it was the sea-tug Samson
that ran them down; but it is known
for certain fact that the Samson was
quite a distance up stream with a two
barges tow, when the unfortunate oc-
curance took place.
The body Of Captain Hummasti has
not yet been seen, though there will be
a sharp lookout kept for it at all points
of the river and bay.

NEVADA BOOMERS
MEET IN NEW YORK
Discuss Great Future of Nevada as
Mining State-Enthusiasm Shown.

New York, May ia mining camp
attired in the clothes of conventional
civilization had a session last night in
the East Myrtle room of the Waldorf
Astoria, and in eloquence and vaudeville
sang the praises of Nevada
Nearly every man present was ma
tive of a state beyond the Rockies.
Malcolm /. Mcdonald, who was born
seven miles from Comstock said he was
Glad of it, and that the world had but
feeble conception of the possibilities
of southern Nevada.
He said he would not hesitate to de-
clare that within the next ten years
Nevada would produce at least 25 per
cent of the metal values Of the country.
San Francisco would be rebuilt in great
er glory than any other western city
within the next ten years and in that
period Nevada would have produced
enough mineral wealth to pay for it.
c. d. Wrenn, secretary to c. NJ.
Schwab who owns much Nevada min
ing property, said tnat Mr. Schwab on
his last visit to Nevada had been skep-
,tical as to her development when he
entered the state He went away an
enthusiastic boomer. Mr.. Wrenn declar-
ed that more money would be taken
out of Nevada in the next few years
than from any state in the Union. Her
soil had merely been scratched.
Mr.. Pittman said that the object OF
the gathering was to persuade New York
to act as an "ofTice" for Nevada without
the interference of middlemen, particu-
larly San Francisco brokers.
Then the red curtains of the vaude-
Vile hall adjoining the dining room
parted. and the prospectOrs, mining ex-
pers and their friends thronged in.
