THE CITY AND VICINITY

Mir. Geo. Roe of Belle Island Hot Springs came in last evening for day or two's business trip. He reports that there are quite number of peo- pie at the Springs this summer.
 A cablegram was received today by Ketchikan Lodge No. 4, l. O. O. F. that F. W. Spurrell died in Santa Barbara, California this morning. He had been sick with consumption for more than year.
 Mir. Spurrell formerly lived in Ketchikan where hs was a partner with Walter Eubanks in the logging business. He was married here about two years ago to Miss McIlheney and left shortly afterward for the west. | ward.
 W. H. Trewartha-James, general manager of the Tyee copper company of Victoria, very courteously called at the Daily Miner office this afternoon | and briefly discussed the mining sit- nation in the ketchikan district. He expressed himself fully satisfied that the ore deposits in this vicinity are superior in many ways to some of the districts that have been more widely advertised and worked, and he has no hesitency in saying that his con- papy is becoming deeply interested in our mines and prospects. He voices the conviction that within very short time Ketchikan will be noted as one of the greatest mining centers of Alaska. Such words coming from so eminent an authority is highly encouraging.
 Of course most of us have all along known this, but we like to be told so, | and the simple fact that the Tyee | Company is maintaining men on | the ground shows the sincerity of their | belief in the district.
 Geo. H. Caughrean hss applied for patent OF complete long distance telephone and telegraph sounder, which works automatically and has several advantages of superiority over the systems now in use. Mir. Caughrean was seen today by a
 Daily Miner reporter to whom he showed his device ana explanied its advantages. By scientific combina. tion of the receiver and transmitter a loud whistle call is produced which does away with the bell and by the cutting in of a telegraph key the line
 is made at once both a telephone anc telegraph syestem and the service car
 be shifted from one to the other 1T stantly. For long time it has beer known that by bringing the receiver close to the transmitter in a telephone sort of humming noise could be heard Mr. Caughreau has taken advantage
 of this to produce and magnify it intt loud call and at the same time use it as sounder when employing it a: a telegraph line.
 By his system he discontinues the use of the bell, the box and the gener. ator and thus reduces the cost of the instrument at least seventydve per cent. He has a perfectly working model at his home and those who have examined it think he has produced something very valuable in electrical lines.
