 The Alert arrived in from her reg. ular run to Prince of Wales points last night bringing in full list o1 passengers.
 Miss A. O. Hale the accomplished accountant for the Ketchikan and Union steamship companies, arrived home from her vacation on the Jeffer- son, and is again at her post of duty.
 The Cottage City is undergoing re- pairs, and having new tail shaft and wheel put in at Seattle consequently the City of Seattle will take her place again on the run out of Seattle sched- uled for next Friday.
 The Verney sawmill and real estate property at Saxman was sold at Mar shal's sale yesterday, the creditor bidding it in at a price much below the total amount of the indebtedness for which it was decreed to be sold. By much the larger half of last sea sons pack of the Ketchikan cannery is still on hand and awaiting ship I ment Whether this is due to fall l ing off in the demand, or whether the owners are waiting for raise ir prices, can only be surmised.
 TheCity of Seattle passed down about o'clock this morning laden with BOG barrels of oil from the KiIlisnoo works, 250 boxes of fresh halibut, 23C tons of salt fish, 5000 cases of canned salmon from Yes Bay, and l20 passen gers, mostly Chinamen from the last mentioned place.
 The steamship Jefferson arrived ul about II O clock last night, bringing fifty tons of freight, and an even doz- en passengers for Ketchikan. The names of the passengers will be found among the arrivals at the hotels. those of Mrs. J. E. Lathrop and Miss A. o. Hale being the only exceptions. It's an ill wind that doesn't blow some good to somebody. The Jefferson carried on through to Skagway the Thanksgiving turkeys consigned to Frye Bruhn Co. at Ketchikan, but that fact wont work any injury to the other local dealers who are well sup piled, though they may not be able to )ffer first choice to everyone. The rock blasting which has evoked the curiosity of citizens during the past week or ten days has been in con- nection with the work in progress or the site Of the New England Fish company's contemplated plant just be- low the cannery. This company owns l tract of forty acres, upon which there is an arp srently well defneo mineral ledge upon which force oi men is employed making the neces- sary expenditure preliminary to ap- plicationH for patent.
 Arthur Thebo, whose residences is in Ketchikan, met with painful ac- cident at Chomly last night by walk | ing off the wharf in the dark and fall 1 ing into the water, striking the piling
 in his descent, by which it is believed two of his ribs were broken. Forum atey the Alert was lying at the whar1 1t the time, and no time was lost ir bringing him to where he could bc l given needed medical attention. A last accounts he was resting conforta bly,, and no fear is entertained but that he will spedily recover.
 If the Ketchikan Power company takes all the logs that are being har- vested in the expectation of a read! sale, its mill here will not be at a less for the raw material to chew up dur ing the remainder of the winter. Sev- eral parties are logging on Cholmon- deley sound, one of whom, Eubank and associates, have not less than one million feet in the water and ready tt he lowed in, and the others nearly, if not quite, as many more. As it now looks the mill will continue in opera tion all winter. though it is possible with slight reduction in the number of working hours.
