FIND BODY 0F JAMES TRAvERs Bones Scattered for 200 Feet Along the Beach--$600.00
 Has Disappeared.

Dr. T. A. llaXby. who came to Valdez on the last boat from La tUuchc. reports the finding by the searching party headed by himself of the bones of James ,TraVerS. who left more than two months ago from he "MadhuuSe" tu gn iu Montague Island. but was never seen afterWard.
 After inc missing man had not been heard of nor seen for six weeks a Srarchin. party went to look for him. as he had left with only ten days provisions. They found his boat on the rocks at Dangerous Point on the east side of Latouchr psland, where the beach is exposed to the heavy ocean swells. After diligent search they found a sack of food and later found bones of the un- fortunate man scattered along the beach for 200 feet. Many bones were not recovered, as the sea weed is more than foot thick and the men were unable to find them. The skull was found but the entire front part of it had been broken away and was gone.
 When Travers left the Mad house" he had $500 on his per son, but not a cent was found in his clothing. which the Searchers found on the beach.
 It is supposed that when he reached the outside of the island on his way to Montague he an .chored the boat and went to sleep, as he had made a bed in the small dory he had borrowed from John W7ilds. During the night the wind may have fresh ened and have blown him on the shore. which at high tide is a fine gravel beach and at low tide is covered with big jagged rocks, upon which the boat must have been wrecked and he drowned, washed ashore and pounded to pieces, or else devoured by the ravens and gulls. The bones were picked clean according to Dr. 'Huxby.
 No inquest had been held as no reason exists for believing foul play had anything to do with his death.
