PETER DELGARD MEETS
 PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Peter Delgard is out at Knudson's recovering from a very painful expe- rience and miraculous escape from death. The accident happened when he attempted to roll a large SO-foot pile into the slough at Knudson's. He was in front of the huge log and standing on other logs when the en- tire lot began to move. The big log caught him and passed over his head and part of his body when it stopped. He was crushed down into the earth and held as in a wise with his legs over the bank
 Mir. and Mrs. Clarence Carpenter were out there in an automobile watching the log-rolling and witnessed the acci- dent. Delgard was coming home from duck hunting. KnudsOn was putting logs in the slough Delgard laid his gun down and to give hand attempted to roll the big log into the water. Im- mediately on seeing Delgard's predic- ament Knudson and Carpenter rushed to his assistance, The task of remov- ing the log was a delicate one on ac- count of the risk of doing greater in jury to the victim. Several Indians were called and the log was carefully raised sufficiently to permit the release of Delgard. He was taken to the house but felt too ill to be brought in in the automobile. This morning he says that he does not think he is badly in jured, and that no bones are broken, but he feels sore across the chest He is stih at Knudson's not feeling we'll enough to travel

LATE ARRIVALS SPEAK
 WELL OF DIGGINGS

Harry Haggerty, formerly, of Nome, and Fred Mercier, Al. Wickman and Clarence Mercier, all formerly of Daw- son, are now in Juneau having arrived from the Westward on the last trip of the Northwestern. They are fresh from the Chisana having left there Sep tember Is. They made the record actual walking time of 23 hours and 45 minutes from the diggings to Me Carthy. This is thought to have broken all previous records for travel over the Scolai pass trail. All of the men speak we'll of the country and say that they are going back after Christmas. The three last named have been in the country two months and are very we'll acquainted with the place and with all that has been going on during the past season.
 They have been employed during the summer by James doing assessment work on some of his property. Accord ing to the Mercier brothers and Wick man very little prospecting has been done, but where there has been work good results have been obtained. Out side of Bonanza and EIdorado no bed rock has been found. James took out of the small cut that he worked this summer between thirty and forty thousands of dollars. They worked for him practically through the sea son and were paid in gold dust. They have seen $25-pans taken from No Bonanza which belongs to Taylor.
 The town, they think, will be at the mouth of Johnson creek. There were about forty cabins built there at the time they left to come outside. They will return by way of the Yukon ex cept Haggerty who says he will go ir from the American side.

$. E. DEVELOPMENT
 INCREASES COMMERCE

Speaking of the increase in Alaska traffic for the year that is now near ing it's last quarter to the Seattle Times. Special Deputy Collector Of Customs Charles D. Garfield said:
 "The biggest increase this year will be in the inbound commerce-that is the merchandise sent from the United State to Alaska. This is due to the unusual development in mining cen ters in Southeastern Alaska. The greatest increase in outbound com merce will be in salted, mild-cured and fresh fish, commercial ores and tin. The shipment of the latter metal last year was about SS5OOO This year it is expected to reach about $25O,O00.
 Fox Farming An Industry
 "The shipments of canned salmon will be smaller than last year. and the amount of aquatic products and furs will be greater than last year. The increase in furs is due to the es- tablishment of fox farms in the Terri tory. This is becoming a business Of considerable proportions. Jim York. who has a fox farm on Sumdum Isl and, with between 600 and 500 blue foxes, has refused an offer of $50- 900 for his plant.
 "The gold yield will not be as great as last year. This is not because of an exhaustion of the fields, but be- cause of a dry season at Nome and Fairbanks. The Iditarod yield will be more than last year. The volume Of copper ore will be greater, but much of it will be of lower grade than was sent out in 1912. The shipments of marble and gypsum will be about the same as last year.
 Notwithstanding a dull season in Northwestern Alaska and the interior, the freight shipped to Boring Sea points already has totaled nearly 3O.OOO tons, which is a slight advanc on last year.
 "The amount of development in the staple industries, such as quartz min ing and fishing in Southeastern and Southwestern Alaska, and the increase in the production of fur and agricul- tural products in the Territory, war rant tha nrpdicfiOn that thp commerce of Alaska next year will over-reach the S100,000,000 mark. If the govern ment decided to build a railroad in the Territory, it will. of course, be far in excess of that amount

CAPT. GABBS TAXES
 MAIL BOAT FOX

The transfer of the powerful and seaworthy little mail boat Fox from it's owner Capt. Charles McConaghy to its new owner Capt A. A. Gabbs will probably take place at Rake We'd nesday morning. Capt. Gabbs left Ju- neau this morning, but his first trip out of Juneau as master of the yes sel will be on October 6. The cabin in terior is to be modified some, Capt. Gabbs says, as soon as it can be done so as to improve the accommodations for passengers.
 The Fox is said to be. one of the best gasoline passenger boats in ser vice in Alaskan waters. Indeed, it has been pointed out that she travels when larger craft lay up on account of bad weather. The run is from Juneau to Rake and return with stops at Taku, Limestone, Snettisham, Sumdum, Windham, Five Fingers, total dis tance of 148 miles each way. She has been on the run now for six years and has always managed to get through with the mail. Recently Capt. Gabbs resigned his position as cashier of the First National bank of Juneau and of the First Territorial bank of Alaska The confinement in the bank did not agree with him. Before rendering his resignation he purchased the Fox and has decided that the run will be bene- ficial to his health, hence he has taken hold of the business personally. A large circle of friends wish him sue cess in the new venture.

HACKEGT IN PRISONER
 OF zENDA TONIGHT


 popular of all American matinee heroes and one of the greatest actors of the present day, will appear tonight at the Grand Theatre in his best play Anthony Hopes masterpiece, "The Prisoner of Zenda." This is generally admitted to be the greatest of the few great plays that Daniel Frohman has presented to the moving picture world. The film was perfected under the personal direction of Hackett and Frohman themselves. Before it was presented to the public every act and scene had to meet the approval of Hackett, whose desire it was that he should live through the ages and be judged by the record made by the pie lures in this production.
 'The Prisoner of Zenda" was the best seller of it's day as a book, and it gave Anthony Hope, the brilliant English writer, imperishable renown. The dramatic possibilities of the book were apparent from the beginning, and in securing talent to interpret t from the stage, the author had his pick among the English speaking actors. He chose James K. Hackett for the leading role, and one of the strongest casts ever to appear on the stage to support him.
 The story is splendidly told in the moving pictures.
 In vivid fashion the films tell the story of Rudolf Rassendyll, a young Englishman in whose veins flows the same blood as that of his relative Rudolf V, king of Ruritania. This has resulted in a startling physical resemblance between the two.
 Duke Michael, cousin of the king known as Black Michael" is plotting to. secure the thorne for himself and marry the Princess Flavia. Rassen- dyll, finding the hotels of the capital, Strelsau. overcrowded, due to the com. ing coronation, has ordered lodgings at an inn in the village of Zenda He goes to Ruritania to see his distant cousin crowned. But Black MichaeT' has drugged the king and imprisoned him in a dungeon at Zenda. His loyal fol lowers persuade Rassendyll to accept the crown temporarily to thwart Black Michael" The latter is suddenly con fronted and confused by the presence of Rassendyll, whose resemblance 10 the king deceives his ambassadors and ministers, and who is readily accepted as the royal Rudolf
 In the meantime, Rassendyll meets the Princess Flavia, who immediately observes a subtle contrast in his sturdy, wholesome, attractive quail ties from the selfish and self-indulgent procliyities of the king. She forces herself to believe that the real king has undergone a great change in the last few days. Gradually she learns to love him-and Rudolf falls instant.y in love with the gentle Flavia.
 From that moment a series of thrill ing plots and counterplots follow each other in rapid and stirring sequence. The attempt of Michael and his men to kill the king, the entrance of Ras sendyl into the dungeon at Zenda where he finds Rudolf in state of mental agony and physical collapse, the wounding of Rassendyll through treach- cry. the killing of Black Michael" are told in a series of lucid and effective tableaux.
 A musical scheme, written specially for the play, will be rendered tonight.
 There will be two shows. The first begins at 7:45 p. m., and the second at 9:2O.
