The people around Memphis also
started petition which had some 200

time on the Keokuk and Western,
which would get them home earlier.
IA Burlington official who felt the pulse
of the community found that a sched-

approval OF the Keokuk business men.

MOVIES SHOW /. FISH AND GAME

Pacific Fisherman: A very fine set of moving pictures showing fish and game are now being shown throughout California. These pie lures are of such educational value that the State Fish and Game commission and the California as sociated societies for the con- servation of wild life have given their hearty endorsement of them. Edward A. Salisbury, director of the Educational Film company, of Los Angeles, has spent almost two years and many thousands of dollars in procuring these remarkable pie lures. In each instance the at tempt has been made to follow the life of each animal from it's birth to maturity. The pictures were taken in northern California and southern Oregon.
 Over reel and half is given to the life-history of steelhead trout. Pictures are shown of the method by which the fish are trap ped, how the eggs arc obtained from the female fish, and the eggs shipped and matched. All stages of the fry are shown and q number of pictures show the diff ferent species of trout kept at the hatcheries for breeding purposes. The film closes with some typical fishing scenes, showing how the fish are caught.
 These moving pictures of fish and game not only make people better acquainted with the wild life of California, but tkey preach con- servation of fish and game.

LAUNCH SUPERB
 IS TOTAL LOSS

Captain Larsen and Gus Hansen left Haines last Saturday in the gasoline launch Superb, with a tow of raft of piles for the new w. P. & Y. R. dock, and although the water was a little rough every thing went along serenely until a point was reached in Lynn canal about eight miles south of Skag- way, when the whole of the interior of the boat suddenly burst into a blaze, presumably from q back firing spark igniting the gasoline and oil in the bilge of the boat the flames spreading to and catching in q can of gasolene, which blew up, throwing the burning fluid in all directions.
 It was all so sudden the men in the launch had hard work 10 sIye themselves, and only succeeded in doing so by jumping into the waters Of the canal and then climbing onto the raft. Hansen escaped scot free, but Captain Larsen lost his moustache and some of his hair, be- sides suffering several minor burns on his hands and face.
 The launch soon burned to the waters edge and then sunk from the weight of the machinery.
 Capt. Larsen and Hansen drifted to shore on the raft about six miles down the canal and from ther made their way on foot to Skas- way, reaching here about eight o'clock Saturday night.
 The Superb was the beat which left Skagway for Juneau OH the night of July Sd, with q crowd of young men on board bound for the capital city, but owing to the rough water had to turn back when a few miles below Hafnes and subsequent ly turned turtle near Sturgill's wood camp on the east side of the canal, by which unfortunate occurrence thir teen of the twenty-wo passengers lost their lives.

SkAGWAY MAN
 MAY BE LOST.

Arthur Wilson left Skagway for Haines oa the Peterson last Thurs day with the intention of getting T boat at the latter place and bringing it ID here. A rumor is in circula- tion around town that portions of the beat had since been found in the canal between here and Haines, but Wilson's friends do not place reliance in the rnmor as they claim he was too we'll acquainted with the treacherous waters to venture out ilr a small boat when the weather was in any way threatening.
 Later-Chas. Walker, all intimate friend and close neighbor of Will son, sent a message to Haines this afternoon making inquiries and received the following reply:
 Haines, Alaska, Jan. II, IS. Chas. Walker,
 Skagway, Alaska.
 Arthur Wilson left Haines noon Friday in a row boat.

THE FUTURE STATES OF RENAL
 PENINSULA

That the Kenai peninsula more than likely will become a forrnidablt competitor with the Nonlc region in the matter of gold production by dredging, is the general consensus of opinion among yhe mining men now gathered in Seattle from the north, says the Alaska and North west Mining Journal. Many oI these men are figuring on the con- struction of dredges for installa- tion next summer.
 The Northerners, gathering from the gist of their opinion believe in the permanency of this district, and brought out q number of clean ups of gold ranging in value from q few hundred dollars to as much as S3O,OOO. The biggest cleanup of the year was made On Grove creek by Dick Dawson and asso- ciates, who, it is reported, took out about $4O,0OO this year. N. B. Solner, of the Union Savings and Trust Co.,, one of Dawson's part ners, this summer brought down a poke containing 700 ounces of gold.
 The Kerai peninsula last sum- mer was overrun with Nome dredg- ing men and engineers, among them being Joseph H. Hutchinson, former governor of Idaho, who opened up the tin mine at Nome several years ago. Hutchinson optionad a num- Der of claims at Hope for $25,OOO. These claims are on Resurrection creek, where Gus Seiffert, formerly of Nome, installed q big hydraulic plant this summer for the St. Louis Hydraulic Mining company. Seiffert lost a large load of pipe in a storm on Cook inlet and installed small CT plant than he had figured On, but still had very successful season.
 EIaior L. H. French and Charles E. Heron, both formerly of Nome, operated drill on Six Nile creek, near Sunrise. The drilling opera tions which showed vaides greatly in excess of S1.OO to the cubic yard, were under the supervision of q professional expert.
 Six Mile was opened up in 1895 and alput S$00.uOO was taken out by rocking along The rims. Tha stream "self was never worked, be- cause of the heavy flow of water. Two years later the discoverers of Six Mile, who foundtd the town Oi Sunrise, deserted the camp for Daw- son. ...
 This water difficulty, which prov ed an obstacle to the pioneers, will be overcome by the dredge method which will be installed this winter. Sixty-three holes were sunk on the claims optioned by French and Her -on, and the drill is now operating cn Glacier creek, helow the mouth of Crow creek, where Dick Dawson'S plant operated. .-
 Frank Youns is planning to install q Creoge on Kenai river. Professor Herschell Parker of Mount McKinle,

fame, also is developing a large tract of ground in this locality. Pad dy Cummins, formerly of Nome, is planning the installation of a hy- draulic plant in the same locality.
 The Gilpatrick quartz property, sit uated on Kenai peninsula, 14 miles from Seward, recently was bonded 10 E. G. Wilson of Washington, D. c, who has shipped 800 tons of freight and supplies for develop ment work this winter.
 Jack Roman. who made fortune placer mining on Cleary creek, in the Fairbanks district, this sum r,er bought the property adjoining those purchased by Mrs. Vilelo. Northerners are anticipating much larger gold production from this sec ton next summer.
