FIREMAN FAILS FROM
 CASWELL AND DR0WNS
R.E. BIaikie Drops From Steamer and Sinks Before Small Boat
 Can Reach Him.

R. E. Blaikie, fireman of the Neutna river steamer Casweu, fell from the fan tail of the boat near the mouth of lake creek and was drowned on the steamers first trip up the river. He was apparently stunned by striking something in falling or as he reached the water. for he soon sank. A boat was lowered and was at the spot where rbe man fell in less than five minutes but could find no trace of him.
 The news comes in a letter to the Gateway from Captain Swift, owner and master of the Caswel. He writes that the steamer made her first trip without mishap other than the tragic loss of the fireman, and that she will continue to run regularly throughout the season. Apparently the river boats are doing good business. Of mining prospects Capt Swift writes:
 'sThe center of attraction seems to he on Yentna river about Lake creek and Youngstown. A few good finds have been made. Chris Hansen re- gently took out.S2OO in dust with a rockerTon Discovery claim on Lake creek. He traded this for supplies at Snsitna station and has gone back to work his sclaims for the summer. There are.many good paying proposi' tions for hydraulic or machinery plants here on these rivers. We are moving two hydraulic Ioutfts in now for ka- biItna river and up the Yentna.'
