Cordova, August ,.

The steamer Mariposa was delayed in leaving Juneau yesterday and did not finally sail until o'clock this morning. She then went to Skag- way, where there was another delay, so that in all probability the steamer, with nearly 200 stamped CTS for the new gold fields, will not reach Cordova until early Thursday morning.

 The following letter from J. M. Neagle, received by the Daily Alaskan, is self explanatory:
 "Under date of July 22nd, it is stated that, E. F. Gray sold horses before the stampede for $50 and that they brought higher prices later, or words to that effect.
 'I wish to correct you. We never did have a horse that we would sell for $50 and this outfit always had extra fine stock. Six of our horses were sold before the stampede, bringing an average price of $2O0 and the balance, (3) were sold after the strike, for an average price of $500. The lowest price for which we sold horse for was $11O, the highest S350.

WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, Aug. o.-Mine operators, mining engineers and mine surgeons representing practic- ally every important mining con- pany in the United States will gather at Pittsburgh, Pa., on September 22 to discuss methods for reducing the death tolls in mines and quarries. These men are members of the American Mine Safety Association which held it's first meeting one year ago in Pittsburgh.
 Here is the problem they have on hand. In the year 1911, 3,6O2 men were killed in the mines and quar- ries of the United States. Sixty three thousand three hundred and one were injured during the same time. The death rate for all min ing that year reached 3.5S men in every 1000 employed.

 Officials and engineers of the
 United States Smelling & Refining Company, one of the largest develop ing and operating mining concerns in the United States, came north from Seattle on the steamer Alameda.

Cordova, July 31

Cordova will have a new chief of the fire department, at least for the next few months, and his name is V. G. Vance. A special meeting of the department was held last night, at which time John Berry was granted a leave of absence for 60 days, so that he might go to the new gold diggings in the Chisana region, he taking the train this morning. MT. Vance was appointed as temporary chief during the absence of the regu- lar official.
 James Flynn and c. H. Sheffler believe that hunting for gold in the gravel of mother earth will prove more profitable than having work ing interest in a weekly newspaper in Cordova. As consequence they will both leave next week for the new Chisana gold fields. It is reported that c. H. Wilcox, of Valdez, who has been temporarily working in the Daily Alaskan office, has consented to be the next victim on the toboggan and that he will return to Cordova to take charge of the Alaska Times.
 Henry Bratnober, the well known mining man who is now in Juneau has had three men in the Sushanna country for the past eight years. MT. Bratnober is of the belief that the strike reported is genuine and that it is of considerable importance. The strike is on tributary of the Su- shanna, which is a tributary of the Tanana There are two gulches on which pay was located. None of the ground has frost in it and the upper ends of these gulches is very shallow diggings suitable for summer sluic- ing. Farther down the gulches it be- comes deeper to bedrock and on ac- count of the water interfering no bed rock has been reached on the deep ground.
 It is only about thirty miles from the camp of MT. Bratnober on the Nabesna, to the new diggings across the divide. The best way to reach the country is by way of Cordova and the Copper river railway. There is %o,, that makes the country easy of access in the summer time.-Juneau Empire.
 Arthur w. Fox, we'll known throughout Alaska for his manage ment of theatrical attractions, was a passenger this morning for the Sushanna, accompanied by two men and horses.
 On the steamer Mariposa now on her way to Southwestern Alaska there are 54 passengers from Seattle coming to Cordova. Probably 40 of them are for the Sushanna gold fields, while it is likely that 30 or 40 more will be added to the num- Der of gold seekers from Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway.
 Ivor St. Clair, who left for the Sushanna this morning with two horses has two more horses coming from Juneau on the Mariposa which sails from there early Sunday morn ing.

Deery lived, that young woman was
terrified by the electrical storm that

was disappointed but concluded that
the storm put the line out of order.
The first she knew that anything had
happened to Gordon was shortly after

rived at the bungalow in a car. Slip
ping on a kmono, Mildred went to
her bedroom window and demanded
