cred with 34 fathoms of water and the stern is three fathoms lower. At this depth it is impossible for divers Co work Superintendent Engineer Kress says that the greatest known depth to have been successfully at tained by a diver who accomplished anything is 15O feet and he was ser iously injured. One hundred and ten feet is the maximum depth at which a diver can work successfully. Capt. Finch says that using dynamite is not practical; that the bodies if lOOsened in this way, would be torn to bits.
 Superintendent Engineer Kress says that the divers who were brought up here are the best on the Pacific Coast. Capt. Finch has been in the service more than forty years and work over the Islander that was wrecked and sunk in 200 feet of water just around Douglas Island in 1901.
 Nothing Can Be Recovered.
 Nothing can be recovered from the ship where she lies and as the wreck age that fioated ashore contains little of value the craft may be written a total loss. The mail is still aboard and there it will remain; also money and valuables that went down with the ship.

Those sharp pinnacles must have cut the entire bottom out. If the harbor is to be used the government should take immediate care of it and that reef should be accurately and per. manently marked. Capt Cam has placed a temporary buoy on the spot 10 warn navigators who may enter the harbor of the dangerous locality but there should be a permanent marking. Yes, our work is done. We have To- cated the reef on which the ship was wrecked and nothing else can be ac- complished We will be going South on the City of Seattle today"
 George C. Teal, manager of the Ad- miralty Trading company, has render ed them efficient aid in everything since the wreck occurred, Capt. Cam states. All of his boats have been at their service at any and all times and every convenience and comfort to be had about the premises has been freely given, for which they desire to express their appreciation.
 First Officer Abernethy is returning to the scene of the wreck today and will watch over it until ordered away Capt Cam, Supt Eengineer Kress Capt Finch and the other divers will leave for the South on the City of Seat tie tonight.

Marquette. Mich. March BY a
unanimous vote the City Council has
adopted a resolution for the appoint.
ment of a committee to consider the
feasibility Of a municipal telephone
system.
The city already operates its own
electric lighting system and has poles
in every street. The present move
ment represents. to some extent, the
dissatisfaction of some persons with
the new policy OF the Michigan State
Telephone Company in requiring
quarterly payments in advance for its
service and cutting out telephones,
when patrons have refused to pay on
that basis.
Some local lawyers question wheth
er under the State Constitution the
city can introduce a telephone install
alton of its own and whether the law
that gives the railroad commission
control over the telephones in this
State would permit a municipal ex-
pertinent OF this sort.
Nevertheless there is strong local
sentiment in favor OF city-owned tel
ephones. especially since city manage
ment of the electric and water supply
has been successful A thorough in
