CANYON GREEK MINING LOCATIONS
 PRESENT COMPLICATED QUESTIONS

dicial division. It is contended by Duke E. Stubbs, United States commissioner at Aniak, that Canyon creek is in the Fourth division and in the Kuskokwim precinct
 For some reason there appears to be dis position to ignore the Kuskokwim commls- sioner and ex officio recorder, and while 1t is understood that local recorder was named by the Canyon creek miners, no at tempt seems to have been made to have the claims recorded with the nearest pre- cinct recorder in the judicial district, as provided by law.
 Acting on the assumption that the raw had not been compiled with, and that the claims were therefore open to relocation, on the first of the year Elza Fischer, Joe Cha ney, Sam Voich and Billy Kay attempted to relocate the entire creek. The original locators, however, were still in possession, and no opportunity was given the jumpers to do the location work necessary under the law to complete the location.
 As yet there have been no legal proceed ings inaugurated, and developments will be awaited with interest.

COMMISSIONER
 GERAGHTY HERE

Guy c. Geraghty, recently appointed United States commissioner for Otter pre- cinct, accompanied by his wife I bride of few weeks arrived in Idlt arod last Mon day from Fairbanks having come by dog team. They left the up-river camp on March ?. and made what is considered fair time, considering the state of the trail and the fact that there was a continual suc- cession of storms during the journey
 The travellers met with no stirring adven- lures on the trip, and report that the va, rious camps that they passed through were quiet, although Panama showed signs of some activity. At Poorman, in the Ruby district, Mir. Geraghty says there was evl dence of considerable mining activity, and he was told there was work for every man in the district, and this was borne out by the fact that very few men were to be seen in town, all evidently being out on the creeks
 Mir Geraghty says that Professor Ora peaus moving picture outht has caused a great deai of profanity among mushers, ow- ing to the fact that the heavy outfit has
 up the trail badly. Drapeau and Beattle had evidently had their difficulties, as was shown by the many indentatlons alongside the trail where the machinery had fallen from the sled or the sled had tipped over with it, leaving an imprint in the snow. Guy says that he can draw perfect pic ture of that gas engine, including every detail from memory of the impressions in the snow Drapeau is said to have done we'll with his show at the various camps he passed through, charging an admission of S1 10 ppr and no free list
 Mir Geraghty will assume the duties of office on April 1, and in the meantime he and Mrs. Geraghty are devoting their time to eisurely hunt for suitable residence.

Oldest Alaska-BuiIt Ship

Pounding to pieces on the rocks in bleak St. Michael bay the oldest steam vessel Tn Alaska will soon disappear beneath the waves, according to advices received from Nome, says the Juneau Empire. The dying vessel is the steamship Polotofski, which was one of four steam vessels built by the Russians more than fifty years ago. Two of the steamers were built in 1856 and two in 1858 The hulls were knit from vel low cedar and spruce, hewn from an Alas kan forest. The Polotofski was propelled by side wheels and had copper boilers. Her hull was fastened by copper and iron bolts which were handmade. In the early 7Os this vessel was taken to Puget sound, where her boilers were taken out and replaced by iron ones Her superstructure also was re- modelled and she was then sold to the Port Blakelye Lumber Company and used as a towboat. In 1897 the vessel was lowed back north to St. Michael, carrying cargo of lumber and coal She was used as wharf boat for time. During heavy gale few years ago the old weather beaten warrior was driven on reef. It IS sad that in spite of her ffty-eight years of serv- ice her cedar timbers are still sound.
