The Ketchikan miner., 1907-09-28

by the same means, and ransacke, things generally, though so far n known carrying away nothing of val ue. It is thought the fellow ma, have got away on the Princess May which was then in port, or that h, may have been professional, either an employe or passenger on the ship who took advantage of her stay to d, a little work in his line while here.
 An accident in the power house yes terday resulted in several broken cog, on the automatic governor recently installed. A sudden reduction in the amount of current being used caused the governor to revolve rapidly back. wards. Instead of releasing at the proper point it ran past. The acci- dent will not, however, interfere with the service.
 The Marion leaves for Mobiles this evening, with merchandise for the Brown-Alaska company. And that reminds The Miner that the place heretofore referred to as Maple bay has risen to the dignity of post office and sub-port, and is officially known as Nobles. It is connected with Port Simpson by steamer making regular weekly trips.
 J. L. Abrams, of the customs ser- vice, returned yesterday from his months vacation. all of which time he spent at Union bay, north side of Cleveland peninsula, hunting and prospecting. He got two deer, but reports that species of the genus cer- vus very scarce in that particular sec tion, because of the prevalence of wolves, the howlings of which made the night hideous all the time he was in camp. His wife accompanied him in his outing, and both return physi- cally the better for their sojourn in the woods.

Deputy clerk Abrams informs The Miner that aside from the Marin ko murder trial there will be consid- erable number of petty criminal cases to be disposed of, but that the civil calendar is not likely to occupy much of the courts time.
 An old fashioned social at the Methodist parsonage last night was a very pleasant affair made unusually entertaining by several guessing games, two very good readings by Prof. Bertram G. Mitchell, and a couple of we'll rendered vocal num- bers. The ladies of the church will set up Literary Round Table, at the home of Mrs. H. C. Strong next We'd nesday afternoon.
 Report comes through private ad- vices of distinctly felt earthquake shock up at Juneau, night or two ago. Probably nothing but rever- berating echo coming back from an erstwhile hotel man of that town. and striking with rude shock the base of the mountain background of the place. That chap used to really imagine that he could move mountains, and perhaps has been trying it on Mt. Juneau.
