NEW ENGLAND HAS

If it were not for the court esey of the New England tlsf Co. this city would be serious ly up against it for coal. The Northland Steamship Go. has about 75 tons of briquets ot hand and the Alaska Steamship Co. is entirely out. Neither Company has any prospects of renewing the supply for evera' weeks as the mines in British Columbia are closing on account ef the coal strike and the Al aska Co. has had three eoa' hoats on the beach in rapid sue eession. The New England Co. does not engage in the eos. business but under the circum- stances and as they have a good supply on hand for their own u-e they have been selling same as a matter Of accommodation.

The Pacific Coast Steamship Company had sold the capacity of the Curacao on her last trip north by the evening of the 18th but neglected to notify her agents in the north unti lthe night of the 18th. As a result the agent of the Company at Prince Rupert had sold seven teen tickets and they were able to take one man. The remain der were left standing on the ock with a piece of worthless paper in their hand. Two men Messers Coleman and Britt ap- pealed to the agent but he re- fused to pay their expenses dur ing the forced delay or to rein purse them for the tickets. They got busy and chartered a tug boat but could not get clearance from the Customs House. Then they chartered another one an the Captain did not have the necessary papers to carry passengers, but at the end of two days by hiring Il special Captain they managed to clear from the Canadian city. Six of the men who had been left holding the sack at Rupert took passage on her and ar rived here this morning. They came on the tug McCullOch ln charge of Capt. Watson. They were Messers Britt, Coleman. Goodwin, O'Niel, Smith and Johnstone, The little pleasure trip cost the members of the party SI2O.OO besides their eN- penses while laying around Rupert. Messers Britt and Cole man have placed their case Ill the hand of Williams an Men son. Attorneys and intend to bring suit at once. Then the Pacific Coast Co. wonders why the people of the North have soured on them.

|JEALOUSY INJURIES
 ALASKA TOWNS

In Valdez and Seward, the daily newspapers are having great laugh over the disasters that meet their local ships. This is done in an effort to show the superiority of the re- spective ports. When the rail- road has a snowslide the laugh ter becomes general an even i'll the face of death and disaster, the misguided editors keep up the jealous snarling back and forth. It is no time for mer- riment and such continued act ion but reflects on the towns. Each has a harbor capable oi handling the navy of the entlro country but neither will ever be called upon to do so.

time the men were estopped from
working the placer ground tney
were taking out hundreds of dollars

lost through litigation is working a
hardship on them and other mem
bers of the community in which
they live. Without entering into
the merits of the case it appears
as enough the enjoinded placer min
ers have the sympathy of the whole

1t is stated that at the time the
placer was discovered the Glasgow
Western was settling up its finan-
cial affairs in the vicinity of Battle
Mountain at fifty cents on the dol
lar, and moving its machinery and
preparing to leave the country, but
coincident with the discovery the

tate and had assumed phenomenal
value. Then injunctions and all

PROBABLE THAT MEXICAN
DESPERATE HAS ESCAPED
Search of Bingham Mine Fails to
Locate Lopez--His Bed, Found In
Tunnel, Indicates 1t Had Been
Recently Used

they turned into a room, and into
this was flung stick of dynamite
which brought down tons of earth
and rock. The room will be cleared
of debris and searched tomorrow.
Aside from this one possibility
that the desperate lay dead in the
room, the sheriffs and depulies did
nothing today to dispel the belief
that he had escaped before the
Gases, which were forced into the
mine last week to asphyxiate him,
became overpowering. However, the
search was pursued vigorously to-
night and will continue until eveSy
part of the mine has been explored.
The pursuit of Lopez began all
November p, when he killed a
Mexican miner. Since then he has
killed the chief of police and four
deputy sheriffs.
The bedding Of Lopez was found
in the Minnie tunnel of the mine
last night. The posse was of opin-
ion that it had been used during
the last twelve hours.
Extra guards were paced at the
tunnel mouth.
