Body of Frank G. Smith Found
Issue of Aug. 7D


 Almost a year after the drowning of Frank G. Smith, his body was found on the bar at the mouth of Melozi river last Sun day evening The body had been deposited there at higher stage of the Yukon, and was left exposed when the water in the river receded
 Carl Bclm and Nicholas Congopolis found the body and came over to town and notl- fled Commissioner DeVane. The commis sioner brought it to town, where it was identified by the clothing, and most posi- lively by a watch a record of which IS on file in the office of Lynn Smith, the jew eler.
 Under the circumst ances the commissioner did not consider an inquest necessary, and the remains were given in charge of lgloo Mo- 5, of which deceased was member.
 Mir Smiths former home was in Indiana but several years of his life had been spent as timberman in Michigan. He came to the American side from the klondike in 1902, and was one of party who prospected on the headwaters of Hodzana river during the winter of 1902 03 From that time for ward his life was that of typical pros pector He was strong and resourceful, and while out prospecting was an indefat!ga5le worker
 In company with Ed Leepin, he boarded the steamre Sarah at Ruby, intending to go up the Hodzana again, and in some un- known manner was lost overheard, prob ably in the vicinity of Birches during the night of August 1914, 1914.

BUDGET OF LIVE NEWS
 FROM THE RUBY CAMP
Ruby Record Citizen, July 31


 In consequence of a miners strike only two employing concerns are now operating on Long creek and Bear pup.
 Operators having given notice that with the change to eight hours, in compliance with the new law, wages would be re duced from 5 to S4 a day, about l30 mine workers met at Long City Wednesday night and passed resolutions binding themselves not to work for less than D for eight hours. Copies of the resolutions were given to the operators the same night, with about l5O signatures attached.
 Ward x Co.,, on the Novikaket associa- ton, and Al Burke, on Bear pup, agreed to the demand.
 It is also said the scale is being paid on Poorman and Flat.
 Operators claim they cannot pay the scale and break even; miners claim that with the short working season and the ab- sence of continuous employment they can not make living at s4 day, and would be up against hard condition with the coming of winter

LOCOMOTIVES SHIPPED
 FROM PANAMA TO SEWARD

That the ship which left Panama, or was scheduled to leave Panama, July 8, nas a couple of locomotives and other railroad equipment aboard for Seward IS the state ment of William c. Edes, chairman of the engineering commission. At least, Mir. Edes says the locomotives are supposed to be aboard, but the ship may unload at Anchor age first. Part of the equipment aboard for Seward is a steam shovel, It is not gener- ally known that copper wire already has come from Panama for use in constructing the telephone line from Seward to Anchor age. The men in charge of that work ex- pect communication to be opened up be- tween the two cities within three weeks.
 Mr. Edes accompanied by Mrs. Edes, re- turned last evening from Anchorage on the Alameda. Eleven or twelve hundred men are now working over there As to the work that will be done here, MT. Edes wishes to say no more than he has ever said. A good deal will depend, he says, on the time the Alaska Northern will be taken over by the government. If it is taken over

To Domesticate Caribou

J. A. Singleton, Panama Crossing rancher, who has been in that district for a number of years is endeavoring to get the government to sanction his idea of domestl- eating herd of caribou, and from them to raise enough meat to supply the whole Interior He has sufficient room to pasture the caribou, and has the means of taking care of them. He figures on securing few good specimens of caribou mad after secur- ing a number of calves, to set the old ones at liberty In this way, raising the young from the time they are born, he thinks they can be domesticated without difficulty, and the government probably would have no objection to such proceeding. He has consulted with Delegate Wickersham on the proposition, and he has promised to give his support to the undertaking. The dele gate also suggested that he might find it easier to raise and domesticate mountain sheep, and it is possible that he will try to do so. His experiment will depend entirely upon the way the government officials take to it.

ALASKA X
Sea Bathing on Alaska Coast

For once the old sand bar just below Thane is one of the most popular spots on the channel Usually 8 source of much delay and generally to be avoided, the shallow water has lured crowd of bathers during the past couple of days, and the clean sand plus the warm water have made the place an ideal bathing beach, says the Ju- neau Empire. Crowds from Thane and Juneau have availed themselves Of the chance for a salt water swim; and at low tide the children round about are having the time of their lives. The slope of the beach is very much like the Alkl Polnt bathing place in Seattle, and if the sunshine continues the Thane beach probably will become as popular as Allll.

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 3.-At few mo- ments before l2 o'clock today William OConnor and Julius Miller were arragned in the commissioner court, charged with the murder of Mrs, W. E. Rowe The con- plaint was read to the prisoners by Com missioner Brown It is signed by Edward Cairns, and charges both men with the crime of murder in the first degree. Both men seemed to take the reading of the com plaint calmly, except for the tact that OConnor had the semblance of a sheer on his face as Prosecutor Pratt talked ot the date on which the preliminary hearing should be held. The date of the hearing was sent for August 10, and the prisoners were remanded to the custody of the mar shal without bail The entire proceeding did not take more than ten minutes
 Arrest of the Suspects
 O'Connor one of the accused, was brought to town on Sunday morning, August l, by Deputy Marshal Miller, who arrested him Saturday at the workings of Bob Patterson, where he was employed He denied all knowledge of the crime and maintained that attitude when questioned by the officials.
 Miller, the alleged accompllce of OConnor, was arrested several days ago on minor charge, and has since been in jail. He was questioned by the officials but no light was thrown on the crime by either of the prls- oners.
 A large crowd gathered at the depot Sat urday evening, expecting OConnor to be brought in on the evening tram, but few were on the streets Sunday when the party arrived in town.
 O'Connor is man of robust appearance, between 40 and 50 years of age. He IS about five feet ten inches in height and IS of light complexion Miller, the other ac- cused man, is probably the better known of the two. He is a cook, and is said to have been addicted to drink He is of dark com plexion, and is an inch or two more than six feet in height Both Miller and OCon- nor have made this district their home for a number of years although it IS stated that OConnor spent considerable time in ldlt- arod.
 The Accusation
 The complaint on which the men were arrested is signed by Ed Cairns, and Is as follows:
 ''On July 19 the night of the killing, l saw Julius Miller at Morgan's boiler room about 7 o'clock p. m, and Miller said: I am going to get the money tonight, and he said he was going to kill Mrs. Rowe at Little Eldorado and that she had seven or eight hundred dollars. And l said: If you attempt to do anything like that l will

Stabbino Affray at Olnes

As the result of an argument, Julius Mil Ter was arrested at Olnes on July 3l and taken to Fairbanks, charged with assault with a dangerous weapon. Scotty Lamb is carrying an ugly though not serious cut under his left arm as the result of the en- counter Miller is one of the men later charged with the murder of Mrs. Rowe The men were discussing the war, and as the argument progressed it became more bitter. Finally scuffie ensued, and Lamb threw Miller down a caved-in shaft, which was half full of water Miller scrambled out of the hole, took out his pocketknife and cut Lamb under the arm. Miller was the pro- prletor of the Ninemile roadhouse, on the Valdez trail, until this spring when he sold out. He was employed as cook by Morgan on Dome creek. Scotty Lamb is an old man, we'll known all over the creek. He was not seriously injured.

Lane, secre- tary of the interior, to investigate the sltu- aton at Metlakahtla, with the view of ar irving at the easiest solution of the dlttl- culties there Any statement published here that Father Duncan has been unceremonl- ously busted is not true. It is pity that such things are published. l gave Father Duncan to understand that Annette island was to be used for the benefit of the South eastern Alaska Indians and not for the furtherance of the ambitions of any indl- vidual, and I talked with the Indian council there while I visited Father Duncan's settle ment. It will take some time to adjust matters at Metlakahtla, and until it has been fully investigated 1 am not at liberty to hazard any guesses as to the outcome. l expect to go to Halnes tomorrow with Superintendent Beattie and Mr. Lopp, and will return through here on my return from ketchikan.
