The death of Charles Rua a former citizen of Juneau near Valdez on Jan' 2S, as reported in The Daily Empire, may be investigated by the govern, ment. according to the Valdez Miner.
 Rua was reported to have been drowned from launch. The story told by Ruas friends follows:
 "Rua. in company with several others. made visit to the village at Tatitlek a few days before he same to Valdez and wore what is known to the Indians as the skeleton mask. For this offense against their religion he was set upon by them and beat and kicked. He finally escaped to the beach. got aboard his boat and made for Ellamar.
 The natives have a religion made up almost entirely of superstition but mixed with some Greek customs. They have Christmas services, after which they spend four or five days visiting each others homes, carrying stars in honor of the star of Bethle- hem: then they have dancing and merrymaking and all mask and the maskers are privileged to catch all those with stars and destroy the stars.
 Among the masks is one known as the skeleton mask, which is greatly feared by all if it appears before or during the star, for then all be visited by pesdlence. The fresh water will turn salt. the fish will not run, the hunters will hunt in vain, the first born will become sick and one and many other ills will follow.
 ITO get back to the story of Rua and his trouble with the natives. The white men often visit Tatitlek, not because of any respect for the relig- ion. but because the men, women and children enter into epoch of danc- ing and merrymaling. After the holy

days they often take part in the mask dance. and now, remember, the skel eton mask if worn at the proper time is all right. But Rua and several others went to the village thinking the star days had passed and that 1t WAS time for the masquerade. Rua wore the skeleton mask. He entered one cabin and the women ran out; an other and the same thing happened; the third. and by that time about twenty natives came in and immed' iatelv set upon him and beat him. They kicked him for a long time and if looked as if he would be murdered. The white men tried to explain that Rua had no intentions of violating any custom; that he thought it was masquerade day but out of fear of the consequences to them they would not desist They dragged Rua to the beach and would have thrown him over the bluf, had he not escaped, Rua feared the Indians, as they had threatened to take his life; the Indians hated Rua because he had aroused all the native superstition in them.
 "The question confronting the gov ernment officials is: Was Rua on the beach at the time the natives found Lindquist? Was it possible that he also was living, but weak and unable to defend himself and that he was set upon by the natives and his life taken? Was Rua drowned before the Mariposa passed, when the officers saw that the boat was adrift? Had Lindouist gone to sleep and did the engine stop Rua try to set sail without calling Lindquist and thus fall over board?"
 oLindquist tells twenty different stories. no two alike. How did Rua die? The question may never be answered, but it is believed that the government will investigate"

A writer in the Seward Gateway tells of how Mt. Katmai was seen re- gently from the deck of the steamship Yukon. He says:
 "On board yhe Yukon-Katmai has been seen aj last. Ever since the ter rifle eruption the peak and the noun tain range for a hundred miles have been enveloped in a an impenetrable bank of fog or cloud. But when the steamer Yukon sailed down ShellikoT strait during the Beautifully clear day of January 6, the entire range showed up white at the driven snow, outlined against sky of deepest blue, while great clouds of smoke slowly rolled up into the sky and trailed off to leeward The sight was most beautiful and in teresting, and we stood out in the bit ing wind for hours and watched it. Every camera on the ship, and there were several was trained on the scene from time to time but, as We were some fifty miles off, the pictures will not give much of an idea of the grandeur of the sight.
 During the afternoon the wind swung into the northwest and a thin yellow haze began to come our way. When it reached us everyone said "whew." The air was laden with a strong smell of sulphuric gases, that were almost nauseating At the can nery at Uyak, Kodiak island the watchman told us that the bad smell

had begun that day, but when. on the 18th, we again called at the same can nery, he told us that the smell had ap- peared almost every day during the time we were gone. It was again quite noticeable to us, but not so strong as on the 9th.
 Captain Jensen, of the steamer Yu- kon. after taking careful bearings on the peaks, pronounced them Katmai beyond all dispute, thus corroborating the statement of Captain McMullen of the Dora. It was established also that there are three peaks quite close to- gether. all active, as claimed by Chas' Boudry. the trader at Cold Bay, on the mainland near Katmai. The two neaks that have been active with Kat mai seem to be located to the south ward and westward of Katmai, and with it they ofrm almost an isoceles triangle.
 "The present activity or the Vol- canos is in no way like the tremend- ous eruption of last June, when the light of the sun was obscured over an area of a hundred thousand square miles In the present activity the clouds of smoke were dissipated before they had assumed size as great as that of the mountain from which they issued To us who were enveloped in the great volcanic cloud of June 6, the later sight, while not so awe-inspiring, was far more beautiful and comfort able than the former"
