comparatively quiet in street
life since the celebration-a

that Gunnison merchants see a
marked improvement in trade
over equivalent weeks Of 1914.
Due partly to the increasing
tourist trade, and partly to the

WILLOW CREEK
 OUTPUT FINE
E. H. BARTH0LF, FIRST LOCATOR IN THIS DISTRICT, SAYS
 SEASON IS GOOD.

The Willow creek output this year will be at least equal to the output of last year and all the mines there are showing up better and better, accord ing to Eugene H. Bartholf, the man who first staked claim in that dis trict. Mir. Bartholf went out today on the Mariposa for trip to the states. In 1906 he staked the first quartz claim in that country. He was careful to have it understood, when he heard another man, MT. Fulton, telling the facts, that R. l.. Hatcher was the first man to locate one of the paying mines. MT. Bartholf was in the country with his brothers, Will liam E. and Byron Bartholf in 1905 and on the following year the stalking was done.
 While in the city today Mir. Earth off stated that in the Martin mine a very high grade ore has been recently struck at the side wall and enough of it is in sight to keep the mill running all Summer. The new find is at a depth of four hundred feet. The ln- dependence is showing up well and the ore now being mined is very rich. On the Skeen and Mccoy mine which William Martin took over an eight foot lead of ore has been found that is banning good. The Gold Bullion mine is cleaning up as we'll or better than last year. The output for the previous season was $132,0OO and it will be that or more this year. It would have been very much more had it not been for a compulsory stoppage on one of the claims and because of the lack of larger machinery on othei claims.

HEAD FRACTURED BUT
 KILLS HIS ATTACKER.
Chief Warden of Hingham Penitenti- ary Follows MurderOus Pris-
 oners and gets Them.

BINGHAM, Mass, Sept. 4.-Chief Guard James, of the penitentiary here, with head and nose fractured by escaping prisoners, followed his at tackers, killed one of them and help ed to capture the other. The attack was made on the guard by the two convicts last night. After beating him savagely they locked him in a cell and made a dash for liberty. Other prisoners who were witnesses of the attack, but were afraid to in- terfere, released James as soon as the attackers had disappeared. The guard, although bleeding profusely started in pursuit and coming up to one of the escaping conricts, shot him dead. In the meantime other pur- suers had taken up the chase and James was in time to aid them in capturing the other fellow. On a later examination it was found that the plucky guard was suffering from a broken head and nose, caused by fierce blows from hammer wielded by the man whose life James took.

FEARS FOR TUG.

Captain Hanson of the Santa Ana reports a very pleasant trip westward last month. He says that his boat was delayed two days due to heavy gale blowing on the Boring Sea and Bristol bay, on the 24th and 25th of last month. He says that the tug "Holyoke" which was towing barge of cannery material for Koggiung and which left Uyak last Saturday had nosseen reported although her course lay directly in the path of the Santa Ana. He says that it may have drifted out to sea as heavy sea was running off Shelikoff Straits and in her path.

ALASKA NOW HAS
 REAL COAL MINE
HERBERT OPERATES FIRST LEASE AND EXTRACTS
 THOUSANDS OF TONS.

Captain J. A. Herbert, who came on the Santa Ana last night and wko was the first man to secure a lease of coal lands from the govern ment in Alaska, has already taken out more than three thousand tons from his leased property st Bluff Point twelve miles from Seldovia. The output has been sold to Anchorage, steamers, the canneries and will soon be on sale in Seward. The coal is Ignite and the engineer of the Panama steamer Sinaloa, which test ed it and bought 107 tons, said it was about the finest coal he ever used for Steaming purposes. The veins crop out from a bluff right over the beach and tunnel has been driven 300 feet into the solid coal so that in future the sort of coal taken out will be far better than the coal from the surface The government at Anchorage has used large quantity and is so we'll pleased that the steamer Tyonic is continuing to haul it every day to the new railroad city. The mine has a capacity of forty tons daily but this capacity can easily be increased and Captain Herbert has in sight enough coal for years and years. The coal shipped before from the surface was not so good as the quality now being mined. The present output is so clea. that handling it does not even soil the fingers. It is, therefore, Captain Herbert says, also ideal for domestic purposes. The captain is on his way to Seattle and will be able to let the world know that the coal which has been so long tied up by the govern ment is now ready to aid in the terri tory's development.

Mrs. J. R. Nichols and Miss Nichols arrived this morning on the Santa Ana on their way out to Seattle. She says that the Northwestern Fisheries Co. have put up 2S,OOO cases at Uyak so far and will continue to can until the salmon stop running.
 Mir. Nichols, the superintendent ot the Uyak cannery, expects a heavy September run of salmon and thus complete his pack before the season IS over. This has happened before in years gone by and it is hoped that it will again occur.

DEPUTY MARSHAL DRAWS
 GUN AND IS FINED.
Serious Fight at Unga Results in
 Verdict Against Both.

H. G. Bennett passed through Se- ward today on his way over to Valdez after busy season westward on court business. He was appointed special commissioner at Unga by Judge Brown when the floating court pass ed through that town to try cases which arose at the time and could not be tried by Judge Driffield. One case that of s. O. Casler vs. H. D. High land for assault came up before MT. Bennett and after one disagreement the jury found MT. Highland guilty. He was fined $10.O0 and costs, which amounted to about .S171.
 The second case was that of H. D. Highland vs. s. O. Casler for the lat ter's drawing a weapon with the in- tent to kill MT. Highland. The jury found him guilty of the charge, and he was likewise fined 5000 and costs.
 The trouble arose over little argu- ment bewteen the two, which resulted in a fight in which MT. Highland got the best of Mir. ,Casler and the latter drew his revolver in order to beat Mr. Highland off.

WILSON WILL
 TRY FOR PEACE
HIGH OFFICIALS SAY ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE BEFORE
 THIS WINTER.

WASHINGTON, Sept. At is stated on what may be almost called the highest authority that President Wilson will start a movement this fall, or early in winter, to bring about peace in Europe. The movement is expected to be general but this na- tion will probably take the leading place unless it should be decided to make the pope the chief figure in the opening of negotiations. Indeed, it is more than rumored that the visit of Cardinal Gibbons to the president was the first step in the movement. It is possible that Wilson will make an offer of mediation first and that associated with him will be not only the pope but the heads of various neutral states in different parts of the world.

PROTEST COMES FROM
 PEOPLE OF KODIAK.
Object to Write-up in Seattle Paper Which Declares Them to

That Kodiak has been maligned by story in a Seattle paper and that the Gateway should draw attention to the fact is substance of communi- cation received this morning by the Santa Ana from a lady to the wes- ward. The article in the Seattle pap CT said amongst other things:
 "The most unique place in Alaska Kodiak, Russian town owned by the U. S. whose inhabitants have a hor- TOT of soap, live on seal oil, codfish and cheap candy" The article also mentions some of the people who went to Kodiak in recent years and "have become as queer as the people they live among"
 The writer of the letter to the Gateway reminds us that Kodiak has a manual training school, the equal of which does not exist anywhere else on the Pacific coast, public system of waterworks, telephones, electric lights, fire brigade, wireless station, two or more good general stores, a dental office, a United States Com missioner, a United States deputy marshal, a government agricultural station and "even a jail"
