SkOOkUM JIM'S STORY
 REPORTED CONFIRMED

According to a dispatch from Skagway, it looks as though there is na longer any reason able grounds for doubting the authenticity of Skookum Jim's gold strike south of Lake Tes. lin. J. E. Owens had arrived in the Lynn Canal town from the feslin country with $500 worth of gold dust he had talk . eli out of the ground. He pur- chased all outfit at Skagway. and returned to the interior without delay. The story con- tinues that the Carmack-Skoo- knm Jim party had been i1 camp at Caribou Crossing for several days, awaiting the com irg of several Dawsonites whu were friends of Carmack, and whom he wanted to be in On the new strike.

HER FIRST TRIP
 ON NEW ROUTE

The steamer Curacao will ar rive tomorrow evening on her
 first trip on her new route, which is from Seattle to Ketch- ikan, thence along the west coast of Prince of Wales island calling in at outlying points. From there she will call in at the outlying canneries and camps, after which she will proceed on to Juneau, her northern terminus. The route is largely matter of an ex. pertinent, as the Pacific Coast Steamship company has so much business, both pas srnger and freight, off the or dlnary routes, that it is practi- cally impossible for the regu- lar steamers to take care of the business and maintain any kind of a decent schedule. To remedy this, the Curacao i; being put on, and will make two trips a month to these out lying ports. She is peculiarly adapted for this business, and will no doubt prove a money maker for the company.

HOW TO TAKE GOOD
CARE OF YOUR HAIR,

Nothing spoils your good looks so
much as homely hair-stringy, dull
cOlored, harsh. Nothing adds to good

beautiful your hair is now, you can i'm
prove its good looks by using Harmony
Hair Beautifier. If your hair is homely
and ugly now, Harmony Hair Beautifier
will make it softer, sill<ier, glossier,
more beautiful in every way. 1t also
makes it easier to put up and helps it
to "stay put" Its rich rose odor hides
the unpleasant, oily smell of the hair
Harmony Hair Beautifier is rightly
named; it beauties the hair
Very easy to 'apply-simply sprinkle
little on your hair each time before
brushing il. 1t contains no oil, and will
not change the color of the hair, nor
darken gray hair.

free and clean, use Harmony Shampoo.

instantaneous rich lather that immedi-
ately penetrates to every part of hair
and scalp, insuring a quick and
thorough cleansing. Washed off just

ness or stickiness-just sweet smell
ing cleanliness.

gale with~a binding snow. Their only
recourse was to beach the boat, which
they did, working her TO a position
which they considered safe. Up the
beach to the south they found fisher
mems shanty, which they occupied. On
their return 70 the boat they found her
adrift and well out in the combers and
pounding hard. They again succeeded
in getting her out of the heavy seas.
Monday morning the same thing occur
red, but this time they secured her
safely, but her condition was mighty
close to wreck All her ribs on one
side and three strakes of planking were
stove in, and her interior in badly de-
moraliZed condition.
They at once set about patching her
up. They had some tools aboard, but
the only material they had was what
they could pick up on the beach, and
the boards from the floor of the boat.
Provisic were running low, but with
t,au knowledge that their situation must
surely be known at st. James, they
waited patiently for relief. Saturday
night found them with but the small
portion of a ham and three rabbits.
Luckily they had gun and twenty shot
cartridges. But the heavy weather
continued.
Saturday the tug Margaret McCann
came out to lift her nets in that locality
and found the party, which preferred
to remain with the boat until they could
get here. Saturday evening the Nc
Cam returned to st. James, and Capt.
McCann cabled the particulars. AT nine
o'clock that night, Roy Ranger and a
good crew left this port for Fox Island
in the gasoline boat Rhine in fairly good
weather. The Lucie A. was. slid into
the water and taken in tow by the
Rhine for her home port.
The crippled boat leaked BADLY, and
in the passage of four hours across the
crew worked every minute at the pump
and it was only with heroic and eX-
haustive effort that the boat was kept
afloat. When they passed through the
bridge the boat was in a sinking con.
dition, and was beached in a safe place
The Rhine had taken with her a good
supply of food, which was sorely need
ed.
But it is all in the work of fisher.
man, and the crew of the Lucie A. only
speak OF it as an incident, and they say
they had good time.-CharlevoiS

were ignited Mill A. received sever
al of the embers and crew was kept
busy guarding that property. Several
fell on Main Street. The Argo FIGURING
Mill was only a short distance from the
fire and in direct path of the sparks and
flames. That it did not burn is re-
markable, good fire-proof roof was
responsible for its being intact
During the fore part of the fire To-
comotive was kept busy saving num-
per of cars and rolling stock.
The fire was under control in about
four hours from the time it started.
Will Rebuild at Once
Plans are already under way for the
rebuilding of the burned mill, and the
cost of this will probably run over
$4,000. We understand the boilers
are intact and it is thought the big en-
CINE is still usuable. This is indeed
good news as the plant employs some
thing over forty men and its permanent
loss would be a serious matter for our
city at this time.
Plans are being made to get Mill A,
which is now being operated during
the day-in a working condition that
will warrant continuous run of day
and night during the remainder of the
winter months. If this can be brought
about, the men made idle by the fire
will have steady employment.
