FALLS TO DEATH IN
 MEXICAN ORE CHUTE

TREADwELL, Aug. 15.-Falling a distance of 70 feet into an ore chute on the zoo" side of the Mexican mine, Erling Indergaard was probably instantly killed at 2:3O o'clock yester- day afternoon.
 When last seen Indergaard, who was shift boss, was trying to bar down some rock which had become clogged in the chute on the l46O level. He was not missed until the shift came out of the mine at S:3O, A party, which was sent, back to search for him. discovered his cap and lamp near the chute, After a diligent search, 1t was concluded that Indergaard had fallen down the chute. A crew was set to work clearing the chute, and the body was found about eight o'clock last night.
 Erling Indergaard was 24 years of age and native of Norway. He had been in the employ of the Treadwell company for the past three or four years, and had been made shift boss a little over a month ago, taking the position made vacant by the resigna- tion of George Swarva. He was a member of the local lodge of Odd Fellows. and the funeral arrangements are being made by them

FLOORS OF, MEssERscHMiDT BUILDING WITHSTAND TEST

The floors of the new reinforced con crete Messerschmidt building on Sec ond street, between Seward and Main streets, were given thorough test yesterday afternoon by c. w. Win, sted the superintendent architect. The test consisted of piling S5,S41 pounds of dead weight on a panel 10 feet 6 inches by 21 feet. which would be an average of 161 pounds per square foot. Later men aggregating 2.565 pounds stood on top of the dead weight bring ing. the total weight to S79O6 pounds or 172 pounds per square foot.
 Architect winsted says the same span will carry without danger at least 500 pounds per square foot. It is not believed that in the ordinary conduct of business that the same span will be called upon to carry more. than-45 pounds per square foot and further testing Is unnecessary.

.DR. JONES TELLS
 OF INVESTIGATIONS


 The Albatross, Lieut.. L. B Porter .U. S. N, detailed to make cruise Tor the fisheries service, under command of Dr. E.. Lester Jones, deputy U. S.. fish commissioner, arrived in Juneau this morning coming from the West ward. The Albatross has been into every sealing and fishing station in Al aska waters. Under instructions from the department Dr. Jones left Seward going direct to St. Paul island to in' yestigate the charges of moral irreg- ularities against the officials in charge of that station. H. c. Fasset, formerly assistant agent at St. Paul was made agent succeeding R. E. P. Hatton and E. NJ. Ball inspector of fisheries was made storekeeper at the same place succeeding L. NJ. Tongue.
 Dr. Jones is now finishing his inves- tigation of the fisheries service in All aska and the fish resources of the country. He has been out two months and will soon be through with the work.
 "Alaska's fisheries" said pr. Jones. "are an enormous resource. but they must be protected if they are to be perpetuated. The Alaska fisheries ex- tend over coast line of 26,O00 miles and to protect this immense stretch of territory the government has fur nished the officers of the fisheries de- partment one small unseaworthy vessel and rowboats if they care to jeopar. dize their lives by using them, if not they can accept the courtesy of the fishing and packing companies and ,'!de on the boats of the very people yhom they are to watch and investi- gate for infractions of the law. Alas ka's Delegate to Congress should sup port the government fisheries by de. mandlug appropriations for the ser. vice and by showing Congress the need of 1t for protecting the fishing re, sources, instead of complaining that the laws are being violated.
 "I am in favor of constructive legls- lation for the fisheries of Alaska, be, 
 lieve the Alaska fisheries should be divided into districts with an inspector in charge of each division equipped with the proper kind of boats and plenty of help to look after the fishing industry. am a great believer in fish hatcheries conducted by the govern ment and there should be more oi them in Alaska. There should be no distribution of fry until they reach the lingering stage; less figures on pa per and more reality. The govern ment hatchery at Afognak, which wis ited. Is doing good work and found it in good condition"
