The Ketchikan mining news., 1907-02-15

Watch your watch, and if it doesn | keep good time take it to Taylor, the Jeweler.
 l Broke His Collar Bone. James Short fell of the Newtown sidewalk, near Turner's store, last Saturdf y night, and sustained fractured co., l lar bone. He was assisted to the side walk by Chief of Police Detlefsen, who took him to Dr. Wilson's office, where the broken bone was set by Dr's. Wilson and Story.
 Still Here.-Louis Levy, the fur buyer is still here, or was when last heard from, gathering pelts from first hands. This may not be exactly correct when it appears in print Louis is hard to keep track of to the single day or hour-but if he has gone he'll come again, as soon as another crop of pelts is ripe for the gather ing.
 But you can do better at Taylor's, the Jeweler.
 Coming Back.-The old time fa- miliar and popular steamship Topeka is coming back to these waters, after an absence of nearly two years. She has been on the route between San Francisco and Eureka, but will change places with the Ramona, taking what would have been the latter's next sou theastern Alaska run. She will be welcomed back by all the old timers, from here to Sitka.
 Over.-The coal famine is prac- tically at an end. It was practically relieved at first by the fifty tons or more raised from under the Ketchikan Wharf Co.'S wharf by Victor Vigelius then the Amur, which passed up Mon- day night put off about fifty tons, with the promise of more, on her way down, while the expected arrival of the Henriette put an end to all further apprehensions concerning the supply.

 Laid Up.-H. z. Burkhart, who re- turned ten days or more ago from a visit to Seattle, Spokane and other coast cities has been confined to his room most of the time since by seri- ous illness which, in fact, he brought home with him. It had its beginning with a severe case of lagrippe, while he was sojourning in Spokane, which was followed by neuralgia, and pain ful affection of the ear. His friends will be pleased to learn, however, that he is again out and giving personal attention to the large business of which he is the head and front.
 Will Sell.-As will be seen by advertisement in another column, Mir. E. K. Turner is desirous of selling his business and property on the new town sidewalk. He is doing good business, which he has built up by close attention. and his only reason for offering to sell is that the pro- tracted illness necessitates change of climate. Mir. Turner is one of Ket- chikan's very best citizens, and his friends regret very much the conditions that necessitate his re- moval, even though it may be only temporary.
 His Brother Not a few of the older citizens of Ketchikan will re- member one Richard Mansfield White, an eccentric individual of de- cided English affictations who on several occasions made protracted stays here, ostensibly looking for min- ing properties in which to in- vest, and who invariably, winter or summer took a morning ''bawth' in the cold waters of Tongass Narrows. He has the further dis. tinction of being brother of Stanford White for the killing of whom Harry Thaw is now on trial in New York City.
 Might Have been Worse. Mrs. Chas. H. Cosgrove was returning from social gathering of ladies at the home of her next door neighbor, Mrs. W. A. Patterson, about clever o'clock last Saturday night, she walked off the sidewalk and fell distance of seven feet, upon the rocks below. She was considerably shaken up, and at first it was feared might be danger ously injured; but fortunately no bones were broken, and she is now practice ally as well as ever. It was a very dark night, and the lady thought she would have no difficulty in safely mak- ing her way the short distance she had to go, on a walk with which she considered herself perfectly familiar.
