WELLMAN'S AIRSHIP ALIGHT-
ED ON A GLACIER.

Tromsoe, Norway, Sept. 13.-Wal-
ter Wellman and his party arrived
here last evening from Spitzbergen
and announced that he had definite
ly abandoned for this year, after a
disastrous trial Of his airship the
proposed attempt to reach the North
Pole, but will try it again next year.
He says his airship, America, left
her shed September 2 and made an
ascent in bad weather, but she proved
so strong and behaved so well that a
start North was Immediately made.
She encountered storm, however,
and was driven back.
When the airship left the shed it
was anchored to a steamer, the Ex-
press, which helped to tow it to
Vogel Bay Island, two miles north
ward to Camp Wellman. Rosenberg
and Vaniman occupied the car. When
the motor was started it drove the
America ahead of the steamer, and
the airship answered her helm well.
Off Vogel Bay Island the America
was freed from her anchor ropes, but
an increasing gale and driving
snowstorm beat her backward over
the mainland of Spitzbergen. Seeing
the hopelessness Of attempting. to
battle with the gale the valves were
opened and the balloon quickly de-
scended on glacier.
A rescue party from the steamer
had considerable difficulty in saving
the airship. The balloon portion had
to be cut IN two and the car was
taken to pieces to be transported over
the ice-hills and assures to the sea.
After two days work this was ac-
compished, and in the evening of
September 4 the members of the ex
pedition got back to Danes Island,
wherce they sailed for Tromsoe Sep
tember 8.

Initiating the Freshmen.

On Friday evening last the ceIe-
mony of initiating the freshmen, of
the lone Union High school we're OBJ
served in the pavilion OF the valley
town. This ordeal corresponds with
the "hazing of the universities and
other: high educational institutions of
the country, which has called forth
such a storm of protest, at different
times on account of the severe punish
ment inflicted IN some cases. At
lone the initiation exercises were
very simple. Several from jackson
we're duly put through the routine.
All the freshmen-new scholars
blindfolded and seated in a row.
The installing officers were the sopbs
and Juniors, each of whom carried a
bottle of water and a small bag of
flour, amounting each freshman by
mixing the -four and water on his
head. The ceremony of withdrawing
being concluded, the rest of the even
ing was passed in dancing and serv-
ing refreshments. Every one had a
good time. The only unpleasant re-
suit was that number of the freshies
showed up at school the following
morning with bad cold.

Hunting Party's Experience.

party of eleven from jackson
started on deer-hunting expedition
last Sunday. The hunters were H. e.
Kay, q. Dalporta, N. CardineIli, A.
Laverone, q. B. Arditto. q. D. Cal
vim, Al Hambric, Al vela, William
Clark and Herbert Clark. These
went out In two-horse spring wagon,
hired from the Union livery stable.
Johnny Garbarini went on horseback
to rustic up the game They went
three or four miles south of town.
Reaching the hunting grounds they
hitched the team to tree--one horse
being tied with the one rope they
had, and the other tied with the
lines. In this way they were left
alone, while the party went to hunt
game. They we're gone not to exceed
half an hour, and on their return they
found one of the horses choked to
death. The horse hitched by the
lines had broken loose, and by con-
tinual tugging had caused the weight
to be thrown on the one tied with the
rope. causing strangulation.
They were about to start home when
the misfortune was discovered. This
happened on the PIasse ranch. rbe
riding horse of j. Garbarini was
pressed into service, and the com
pany drove home. They captured
one fine deef. They sighted nine or
len during the day.
DR.. Endicott, f. b. LEMON and
Gus Mann, who went up to Blue creek
last week on fishing trip, returned
Friday. At West Point they we're
juined by the two Smith brothers,
making five in the party. The first
afternoon they caught 2O5 trout, and
the next afternoon managed to swell
the number to 1913. Fred LEMON
caught sight of two bears, and shot
at one, without result. He killed
small rattlesnake, having three
rattles, and brought the hide home as
a trophy of his adventure.

MINING NOTES.

+ Bunker Hlll.-DuriDg the month Of
August the mill was operated 80 days
and 10 hours, crushing 1926 tons oil
ore. The output was 497 ounces OF
bullion of the value of sS469. 60 and
81 tons of concentrates net value s2992
making total yield of sl1, 46l. 65.
The expenses, including s63I.44 for
construction account, we're Sl1, 139. SO.
Dividend No. 9 of 3 cents per share
was declared, amounting to s60OU.
Surplus in the treasury Septemb Der l,
SIT, 57S.26. The mill has been RUM
ing for the past two months largely
on low grade rock, THAT had to be got
rid OF, hence the reduced output as
compared with previous months.
This month 1t is expected to make a
material increase in the yield. that is
if the mill is not interfered with on
account of lack of electric power to
operate. The new hosting works a,e
making satisfactory Roadway, and
looking very prosperous.
Fremont.-This mine has developed
a small stringer of unusually rich ore
of late; some of it yielding several
dollars per pound. The company has
been paying regular monthly divi-
dend of two cents per share since the
beginning of the year, with prospects
of continuing for an indefinite period
Central Eureka-Drlfting and cross
cutting at the $500 level Is being
prosecuted, with little change so far
in the prospects. 49,
Copper Mine to Be Opened-An
old copper mine, abandoned for many
years, located at Irish hill about u
miles north east of lone. is about to
be opened up. 1t belongs to tho
lone Iron and Cual Company, which
IS an allied corporation of the South
ern Pacific. 1t was worked in early
days, with fair results. Some lumber
has already been moved on to the
claim for the purpose of erecting
buildings. Machinery is expected
from Denver shortly. The develop
ment of paying copper mine at this
point would mean great deal fol
the business interests of lone and
surrounding country.

Deservedly Promoted.

DR.. q. Ii. Gibbons has received a
letter from his daughter, Mrs Maud
Murphy of Skagway, Informing him
OF the promotion of Mr. Murphy to
the SUPPLEMENTARY of the Dawson
and Klondike Railroad. For some
time he has been in control of the
Skagway and White Horse road, and
has managed that difficult line with
such efficiency that he has been
offered and accepted the higher posi-
ton. The load runs from Dawson
through the klnndike mining region,
and is over fifty miles in length. 1t
is owned by London capitalists. He
is under engagement for two years, at
a salary of $500 per month. MI Mur-
ply and family will make their home
In Dawson, and in fact are now
settled in that city. They were given
farewell dance in Skagway on the
eve of their departure for their new
home. Mrs Murphy, nee Maud Glib
bons, lived in jackson for couple of
years, and her many friends here
about will be pleased to hear of this
promotion. Ihe Alaskan of August
8, published in Skagway says:
The Alaskan is very sorry to learn
that E. A. Murphy and family will
shortly leave Skagway to make their
future home in Dawson, where Mr.
Murphy will assume full control of
the interests of the Klondyke Mines
Railway Company. Mr. and Mrs
Murphy have been prime favorites IN
this city and their departure will be
much regretted in social way. Mr.
Murphy is most excellent business
man and The iAlaskan is certain that
the management of the Dawson COM
pany has fallen in good hands. 1t Is
the intention of Mr. Murphy to leave
within the next few days and Mrs
Murphy and children will follow
shortly after. They were given "A
farewell dance on the eve of their
departure.

Poisoned from Eating Castor Beans

Thursday evening of last week two
children of f. Molognoni were poison
ed. supposed to. be from partak ing
of castorbean that grew in the gar
den. The family lives at jackson
Gate. The children were Amelia, IA
years of age, and Victor, aged nine
years. They we're taken violently
sick soon after, with vomiting and
purging. The girl. although she ate
more of the beans than her brother,
was not so severely i'll. The boy was
in critical condition for several
DAYS, and for time it was extremely
doubtful whether he would recover.
DIR. Phillips attended the cases.
Castor beans are OF poisonous
nature. 1t is reported that three
have been sufficient to cause the
death of an adult. The MoIognoni
children are believed to have eaten a
larger quantity each.

Refused to Roll Logs.

Monday evening about fourteen
men quit at the leila mine, all of
them being Austrians. 1t seems that
when the men went to work night
shift about six O'Clock, they were
told to Toll or pile a lot of logs that
we're in the way. This is frequent
occurrence. 1t would take hut
short time. But the Slavonians OBJ
jected to doing that work, on the
ground OF night time. 1t was bright
moonlight. Mr. Detert told them
they could either do the work they
we're asked to do or quit. From
twelve to fifteen quit, and were at
once paid off. The Italians made no
objections to the work.

Damage Greatly Exaggerate d.


The officers of the Standard Electric
Company state that the damage to the
plant at Electra by theF breakage of
the water wheel has been grossly
exaggerated. One reporter has placed
the damage at over s200.OO0 The
Standard people say that $40, 900 will
replace the damage to the machinery.
One of the big dynamos has been re-
paired, and is doing service. In a

aster. The company always keeps
several dynamos IN reserve to meet a
temporary setback like the one that
happened last week.

Beware of 0intments for Catarrh that
contain Mercury

as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through

the damage they will do is ten-fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
