She then Will have plenty Of time for
tuning up before the opening races
Of the season Commodore Wander
hilt visited Bristol a few days ago
and was pleased with the appearance
Of his new yacht. which in model ia
similar to the Westward, built two
years ago for Alexander s. Cochran.
The same mathod of construction is
being used on the new yacht. Her
plate Joints are all double riyeted and
the yacht is being fitted with seagoing
water tanks, as was the Westward.
The Westward was built to conform
to the European rules and had to
pass a survey by Loyds before she
could race ON the other side. She
was constructed more stanchly than
the Elena and did not have center
board.
II In said that Commodore Wander
hilt intends 10 take his new yacht
across the ocean and sail against
the British and German cracks. II
this is correct the new HerreshofT
craft will have to meet the next
schooner building by Nicholson for
Cecil Quentin, the Meteor: also the
Germania and the Westward, which
now is owned In Germany The new
Herreshoff craft will be tried out first
on this side against the Elena and
other yachts OF her class. II Com
modore Vanderbilt carries out this
idea he will not be ready to race on
the other side until August at the
earliest. The early regattas will be
sailed in June. It then will take at
least six weeks to put cruising rig

pfete schedule. including KIei ana
Cowes. The fact that the new yacht
is being constructed strongly and like
the Westward indicates that she is
meant for racing in English and Ger
man waters.

to sail from New Haven to the Lizard
and four days to reach KEEL She will

She escaped from the house and ran for the waterfront to hide from her assailants; the revolver was empty and she put it away She waited till she thought the marshal would be there, she went back home.

Clayson's store at that place.
 In 1883 Mir. Kennedy accepted the position of night watchman for the then small village of Juneau, which position he held for nine years, and then went with his family taking up a coal claim at Kachamak bay. Here he also established a trading post but became dissatisfied and returned to Juneau two years latter, He again resumed his post as night watchman, which he held until retired on pen sion by Mayor Valentine in 1911.

The announcement that the govern ment was about to issue patent to Geo. Harkradsr for the coal claiP, on Admira4t,--4sland which he has held and developed for the past twenty years, has created a great deal of in terest about town. Strange as it may seem to a wide awake community like Juneau, there are very few in town who can tell where the coal claim in question is located, and a still lesser number have any idea of the quality of coal contained in the mine.
 Mir. Harkrader. who came to this section in 1874 from the Cassiar, is very familiar with the section in which his coal is located. He says that a section twelve miles square is known to contain the same coal deposit. IL is located on an inner bay connecting with Hooznahoo inlet The property is reached through a narrow and tor turous channel leading into Admiral ty island. The distance from Danger point, near KilHsuoo to the property is twelve miles by water and when the tide is running through the channel it develops a ten-mile current Xiii lisnoo is on the path of sea-going ships.
 The distance across country from KilHsnoo to the mines is only six miles. The land is comparatively lev el and railroad building would be a simple matter.
