MEN IN SMALL BOAT
 HAD MARROW ESCAPE

Several men from the Dora had a narrow escape from drowning in Cold Bay harbor on the present trip while irving to land with the mail and pas sengers. Mail Clerk Thwaites went overheard and was barely saved by Purser w. E. Springston. Besides these two the first officer of the Dora and several passengers, one of whom was II. C. Hubbard jr., the fur buyer, were in the boat,
 A strong breeze was blowing and the surf was high. The boat was nearly swamped by breaker and ThwaiteS jumped out and went under the boat, Springston jumped after him and both managed to get back.
 The boat managed to reach shore but the sea continued so rough that 1t was fifteen hours before it could ven- ture back to the Dora. It was on the evening of May that the boat put ashore.

BEGIN DEVELOPMENT ON
 MUMMY BAY COPPER

Work is already in progress on several copper properties around Mummy bay, Knight island, in spite of the deep snow, which will not disap- pear from the higher ground before June 1. Discoveries were made all around the bay last year and the own CTS will pursue development actively this summer to see how much they have got.
 E. R. Gray has been working on claims owned by himself, E. E. Hale and w. NJ. Sauers. A wide lead starts from the waters edge, or under it, and work so far has been confined to stripping the vein. Mir. Gray brought back some fine specimens of copper ore taken from this ledge near the surface. He will return in few days to continue the work. Several men are assisting him.
 On the Happy Jack" group Julius Singer is working dozen men. H. w. Ross is working several men on claims owned by himself, k. Thomp- son and other Seward people.
 Capt. Scheffler came to Seward with the Bina Thursday, bringing Gray, Thompson and Jim O'Reilly, who has been directing the energies of several men on claims at Snug Harbor, on the east side of the island. Less snow is on the ground there than on other parts of the island,
 Development will start on various Knight island properties next month when the snow line moves up higher The owners of some of this property are now working in the mines on La touche island, as many prospectors are doing who will soon go to Knight isl and for the summer.

Michigan Syndicate Sends Party to Develop Extensive

The directors of the expedition are Messrs. Ross, McAlpine and Brownell and in the party are several engineers and several experienced coal miners. It is the intention to employ additional labor in the vicinity,
 Sufficient examination of the proper ty has been made to demonstrate the existence of coal beds of considerable extent. While the coal is not high grade it is a good quality of fuel coal, similar to other Cook inlet coal. As 1t outcrops over large area the field will be a very extensive one if the coal measures prove valuable through out. About 200 claims have been To- cated.

AIaska's Best Harbors

In monograph on Railway Routes in Alaska" by Alfred H. Brooks, chief of the Alaskan division of the United States geological sur vey, the following summing up of harbors is given:
 "Lynn canal is superb deep water way, but its funnel shape causes 1t to be subject to severe wind-storms, and it is therefore not favorable for sail ing vessels. The same holds true, in a less degree, of the upper part Of Prince William sound. Resurrection bay, which penetrates the mainland to a much shorter distance, affords an almost ideal harbor. Though the shore line between Southeastern Alaska and Prince William sound is not favorable for harbors, yet two in- dentations, Yakutat bay and Controller bay, furnish some protection for vessels"
