Nick Mecklin returned on the Sampson last evening from Ko- diak island, where he has been prospecting during the past two months or more in the vicinity of Uyak bay. At the time of the eruption of Katmai, Mecklin had just made camp on the side of a mountain, about 10 miles from tidewater, where he had intended to prospect quartz ledge he had discovered on a previous visit.
 About { o'clock in the after noon it became suddenly dark and sand began to fall, shortly follow cd by ashes and pummice. To- tai darkness came upon him. It was very dark, he says, and that he never experienced so black a night; that a person could not distinguish any object, no matter how prominent, few inches away. This blackness was made

 "Wc are getting along very nicely, but the eruption has caus- cd great deal of extra work in cleaning up and in coaling the cutters, and every able-bOdicd man has gone to work. We are far better oT in Kodiak than in the other towns close here. I were widows and old men and have issued less than i2O rations Io the people of Kodiak, and they their families; in fact have had only six families in need of aid. The future of this place depends on the fishing industry, and that al the present time is none too bright, as We have not caught a codfish or salmon since the eruption.
 "The cod have taken to deeper water think, and the salmon are laying outside of the bays, but not in reach of the nets. The water in the sea is clearing fast and think they will be running within a week.
 "All salmon that vera in inc rivers at the time of the erup- ton are dead, and the fry in the lakes are also dead, as the water was so thick with ashes and sand that they could not gill; it was a little early for many of them to be in the spawning ground, so do not think that much dam age was done; am afraid that they

SUBMARINE DIVER
 DOES GOOD JOB
Astonishes Natives by His Diving ProcIfvities and Ability to
 Take Water

MT. c. B. Smith, former com missioner, and we'll known citizen about town, recently received a federal appointment in the GUS toms service, which calls upon him the duty of inspecting motor boats and checking the foreign coal our benign administration is compelling us 10 burn. With a due appreciation of the reSDOn- SibiliticS dcvolving upon him, Mr. Smilh at once proceeded tO full fill his obligations to Uncle sam, and incidentally to garner the fees and perquisiics thcrcuntO b"lnnging.
 With this laudablc end in view. he at once decided to inspect the motor craft in the harbor, ever watchful that all the regulations imposed by the government were lived up to by the owners of the marine water buggies. Taking Louis ROsenthal by the arm, he led that unsuspecting citizen to the end of the Municipal dock, where he imparted to him the cheering news that he was about to inspect his launch, her gear, tackle and apparel. The two boarded small tender, and had hardly proceeded to TOW out to the power boat when something happened not laid down in the in spection routine of the service. Louis made quite a splash, but Smith slid in so quietly and swift ly that he didn't cause a ripple on the water, neither did he pro- long his bath longer than the prOprielicS of the occasion de- handed.
 Louis, however, thinking he had an cight-hOur shift to put in, struck out for Solomon gulch. feet foremost and head well down. He was finally induced to continue his residence in Valdez by the Rev. w. II. 'Iciglcr, who happen cd to be close by in the launch Nebula, and is now regretting that
