OLD BUILDING Is DOWN

After being in course of de-. r,olition for several days, at last the old Club building is 4 thing of the past. It was built during the fall of 1S00, and when erected was the largest tn.lding in the town. Frank Waterbury was the builder for l,rnno Grief of Wrangell, the greater part of the lumber be- .ng brought from that place. There is every probability that d three story concrete build ing will be built within the next eighteen months to take the place of the old one just re- Eioved. Practically enough bus : iress is assured to guarantee the new building which would Le occupied by the offices of the Northland Steamship com. oany and mercantile establish.

MAKES FIND. OF
 PURE GLASS QUARTZ

It is a we'll known fact that glass makers of the Pacific Coast are on the lookout for chemically pure quartz for glass making, and it looks as though Wm. Dalton has al last discovered the goods. He reports that over on Lime Point, near Cordova bay, he has discovered a ledge quartz which assays 90.75 per cent silica. The assays were made by R. l.. Fitzpatrick the min- ing man and assayer in charge of the Coppermount properties. The claims, three in number, are in the neighborhood of twenty-three miles down Het- ta Inlet from Sulzer, on a good harbor, and are easily access ible. There can be no doubt as 10 the importance of the find, as raw material for the manu- facture of glass is comparative ly scarce.

FOREST SERVICE
 WILL BUILD TRAIL

The local office of the Forest Service is preparing to build a trail from tidewater on Bailey Bay, on the mainland just be- yond Yes Bay, to the hot spring about two miles inland. The springs are said to be rich in medicinal qualities, the water emerging from the ground at q temperature of 200 degrees, According to recent order, a total of ten per cent of the gross receipts from the nation a. forests may be used for road and trail building inside the re- serve. This is in addition to the 25 per cent. of the total which goes into the Alaska fund, the greater part of which is used for road building.

IS SHE CRAZY, OR
 IS SHE ACTING?

The courthouse authorities have a peculiar job on their lands ln trying to decide whether one of the prisoners there is crazy or just pretend ing to be. Neddy Dale was taken off one of the south bound steamers here some weeks ago on a telegraphlc warrant from Juneau charging Ter with having stolen money from several of the prominent citizens of the Capitol City. She was taken back to Juneau where she was confronted with the evidence of her work, and promptly tainted. She was brought down here for a hear ing, and shortly after arrival developed symptoms of insan- ity. The question is whether the woman is really insane or just trying to appear so and thus avold a trial and jail sen- tcnce.

FISH DROPS OUT OF SIGHT

Henry Wilke, manager of the New England Fish company, was in receipt of a message last night telling that owing to an over dose of fish the bottom lad dropped clear out fthe hal ibat market. the price being but Z 1-2 cents at Seattle, the lowest for a year. As several cf the schooners arriving with f,sh on the Sound had hauled tEeir catch by the New Englanl plant which has been paylng three cents for some time to receive but two and a half on arrival at Seattle, it is easy to imagine that the fishermen wlli he sore at themselves.

Trouble makers are at work among the fishermen trying to get them to strike for a higher price for spring salmon. It ap- pears that while fish was scarce during the bad weather of last month, the buyers paid as high as five and one-half cents per pound for the salmon just as they came out of the water. Now that the weather is moder ating they have gone back to the old rate of five cents for the reds, and the malcontents are trying to get the fishermen to demand the higher rate. The mild cnrers state that owing to the large proportion of small fish which produce "secOnds' they cannot afford to pay the five and one-half cents for all the red fish caught, irresl9ec- tlve of size, and if they are compelled to do so for the lar ger fish will have to cut the smaller ones down below five cents to even matters up.

Edward Benson, about 45 years of age met his death in a peculiar manner at 6:30 last night. In company with two ci three kindred spirits he had been sitting on the outside stringer of the Ketchikan Wharf drinking heavily the greater part of the afternoon ,and when the bottle was passed to him the last time, stood up with his back to the outer edge
 e. the wharf, the better to en- pity the bottle. In drinking he leaned so far back, that he over balanced and fell oyer the edge head foremost. The tide was cut at the time, so the unfor- tunate man fell somewhat over 2l feet, striking the water with such force that apparently his neck was broken, or else he was knocked unconscious, so that except that the body rOl led over onto it's face, there was no movement. after it struck the water, A boat was quickly lowered from the sur vcy ship McArthur, which was lying close at hand, and the body, which had continued to float, was picked np and brought ashore. Dr. John Myers was summoned, and up- on arrival did what he could to rcsuscitate the man, It was without avail, however. There upon Coroner Stackpole wa: notified and coroner's jury was empaneled consisting oi Peter Johnson, Lee Green, John Lhote, George Stevens, w. E. Perkins and H. F.. Ayers
 The jury after listening to E. J Fla and Dr. Myers, returned verdict of accidental drown ing. The dead man had been d resident of this region for several years, and was we'll known along the waterfront. \, far as can be discovered he has no relatives in this part Of the country. He was Q mem Der of the local Moose lodge.

GRAND JURY REPORT

J'nited States Distl 'ict Court for
 the District of Al aska, Dlvls-
 ion No. |, At Ret chikan, the
 Special April 1913 Term. To the Honorable Tn omas H. Lyons, Judge of the Above Entitled Court:
 We, the grand jury, sum moned to attend the Soecial April 1913 term of the U,1ited States District Court for the District of Alaska, Division Number One, having completed our labors for the said term and concluded the business brought before us, now beg leave to report to the Honor able Court as follows:
 We have been in session 6 days and have acted upon 11 hound-over cases, have con- ducted 3 other investigations. have found 15 True Bills, and 3 Not True Bills. We have eX- omined so witnesses and em- ployed one interpreter.
 We find that the condition ot the federal jail is good, that It i, clean and sanitary. On an inspection of the court house we find that it is quite essential that varlous of the rooms in the court house building be painted.
 We further wish to empha- s:ze the recommendations oi previous grand juries to the ef' feet that the walls of the var ious rooms, especially of the erand-jury anG petit-jury rooms Of the court house be deadened ST that the session of the juries can be secret in fact. As an example of the necessity oi such steps to render the ses. sjons of the iuries secret we call attention to the fact that during tie inve stigation of a cuse by the present grand jury the defendant in the jail could hear the discussions of the case bv the jurors and the eXamina- ton of the witnesses and through the partition which separated this defenant from the grand jury the former dir ected questions through sald partition to the witness and tC tie grand jury and could heal and be heard as readily as il she had been present in the grand-jury room. We hope and trust that this condition may be remedied before an- ether session Of court is held at Ketchikan.
 We further recommend that jurors in the District Court be allowed fee of five dollar- per diem besides mileage.
 In concluding. we extend ouI thanks to this Honorable Court the United States Attorney, his Assistants and other officers connected with the Department of Justice for the many court , csies We have received at thefl , hands during the sitting of the grand jury.
