 Henry c. Bowman, aged 6l years, 8 resident of Skagway since 1898, died at Sitka Hot Springs on July 10th.
 There is every promise of an unusual mining activity in the Copper river country very soon, says the Chitina Leader.
 The election of Mrs. Albert White to head the delegation from Valdez to the Territorial convention at Skagway' marks a new epoch in the political life of Alaska.
 Miners in the Chisaua district have organized an association and will de- mand a uniform daily wage of S6 and board. They will take steps to head off incoming labor.
 Andrew Christensen, chief of the field division of the general land office, is in the North to take testimony in a legal controversy between the government and private corporations over Alaska coal lands.
 Reports from Fairbanks are to the effect that rapid progress is being made iu the Alaska government railroad survey. Commissioner Riggs believes the report of the work will be ready when congress meets in December.
 Work of raising the Curacao is prog ressing rapidly, and everything is in readiness for the first lift, which will be given the sunken craft on the big tide July g. This will place the vessel some thirty feet further up on the beach, where she will be repaired to get her in shape for the trip south.
 During a recent meeting of the town council, Mayor Beck, of Juneau, de- clared that the most effective way to get rid of the tin and metal chimneys lnside of the city limits was to hire a couple of men to go around and knock them down. He said residents had been notified, and that did not seem effective.
 The mining industries of the Cassiar country are looking very good accord ing to the Wrangen Sentinel.

Prince Ferdinand, Duke of Mont pensier, brother of the Duke of Or leans, who is the pretender to the French throne, and brother of ex- Queen Amelie of Portugal, is expected shortly in Alaska on the yacht Mekong which is making a tour of the worlds says the Cordova Alaskan. Attracted by the fame of the big game hunting of the far North, Prince Ferdinand is now nearing Kamschatka, and will crOss the Boring Sea from Siberia to Alaska. After a short stay on Seward Peninsu- la, the yacht will come through the AL eutian islands and stop at Kodiak be- fore coming to Prince William Sound ports. The Mekong is a vessel of 1000 tons displacement, 2l0 feet long, 2S feet wide, with a draft of 138. She was built in 1894 at Glasgow. She carries @ motor launch capable of 24 knots an hour to enable the prince and his party to travel in shallow rivers and inland waters. She is fitted with Ave of the most modern types of guns and has wireless and other up to-dste equip ment.
 From all indications it is only a ques, tion of time until pulp mill will be built in this district. And to bear up this fact better than anything Is the fact that the government has sent spec ial men to the country to investigate the possibilities and prospects of the various water power cites available for that purpose. The forest service boat Tahn was in port last Friday and on board her are special service men II. E, Surface, Leonard Lundgren and Mir, Nelson. Mir. Surface is a special wood expert from the government laborator' ies at Madison, Wis, while Mir. Lund- gren is special power engineer, making a report of the various power sites in Tongass National Forest. Forest Su- pervisor Weigle is also aboard the Tahn, These men have been picked by the government to come to Alaska with the definite idea of getting data on the va rious sites for pulp and paper mills, From Wrangell the party visited Crit tenden and Mill Creek, and all con- cerned are very enthusiastic over the prospects of both places.-Wrangell Sentinel,
 One of the most important moves in the history of Alaska transportation affairs was made with the decision of the Pacific Alaska Navigation Com, pany to send the vessels of it's fleet in. to Skagway. The new service will be ina1gurated with the sailing of the steamship Admiral Evans on July D, which will leave for the westward from Skagway instead of Juneau, going to Katalla, Cordova, Valdez, Seward, Port Graham, Seldovia, Knik Anchorage on Cook inlet and Kodiak. It is pointed out that the Alaska Steamship Com. pany recently invaded. the Cook inlet country, which was only served by vessels of the Pacific Alaska Naviga- tion Company, and that the Admiral line is now to extend it's route in Alas ka Steamship Company territory ia retaliation. Officials of the Pacific Coast Steamship Company are also considering an eXtension of their Alas ka service to Prince William sound, and possibly Cook inlet. Although they have no immediate plane, they have sent a representative to the norLh' ern territory to study business oqa' ditiOns
Douglas Island news., 1914-07-22

A part of the new bridge that crosses the Nizina river a few miles from Mo- Cartby has been carried away by the high water. The bridge has seven spans, about TOO feet in length, with 14O additional feet of trestle work. It is one of the most substantial bridges built by the Alaska Road Commission, and there was much surprise at Valdez headquarters when word was received that two spans had been carried away by the raging water. Unless the heavy timbers are affected an effort will be made to replace the bridge at once, but it Is possible that it may be necessary to wait for the freeze up before the nec- essary work can be done. The bridge was built last winter at a cost of but little less than S25,000.
 Fearful that the group of scientists and sailors connected with the i'll fated Stefansson expedition, who were mar ooned last winter on a bleak island in the Arctic ocean, will starve to death before aid reaches them, the Canadian government for several days past has been endeavoriug to obtain a charter of the steamship Corwin, a former revenue cutter and noted ice breaker, to go to their rescue, says the Seattle Times. The whaler Herman started to the rescue of the marooned scientists nearly month ago, but there is grave doubt as to whether she will be able to make the journey through the ice on the Siberian side. The U. s. revenue cutter Bear also will make an effort to reach the imperilled men, but the Can. adian officials are becoming impatient.
 The body of William Shroyer, of Ruby, Alaska, was found on the beach seven miles south of Juneau last Sat- urday afternoon by employees of the Dupont powder plant. The body was found with only the head and shoul- ders out of the water, and was fastened to the sharp rocks, face down, with the shoe of the right foot off and the trous- CTS torn from the knee to the ankle. Deceased had at one time been en gagged in mining with Dan Sutherland, but was suffering from a nervous shock, having been struck on the head by an ore bucket, causing a small clot of blood on the brain, and was at times very irrational. While at Tenakee springs recently he attempted to walk to Juneau. He was about 40 years of age, and has relatives in Wabash, In- diana.
 Professor c. c. Georgeaon, head of the four experiment stations maintain ed in Alaska by the government, has entirely reclaimed more than l50 acres of pasture land on Kodiak island which were practically destroyed for grazing purposes by the eruption of Mt. Kat mai two years ago, and is now in Seattle for the purpose of shipping North fifty head of Galloway cattle, brought to Washington after the disaster "The ground was covered with volcanic ash to depth of eighteen inches" said Professor Georgeson. By inoessant work and intensive seeding we have managed to raise a pretty good crop of hardy grass on the ash. Then the slopes of the hills have been cleared of the ash more or less by the action of the wind aud rains of the past two years,"
