FUR SEALS AND OTHER LIFE 0N
 THE PR|B|LOF ISLANDS, ALASKA

Osgood, of the Field Museum of Ma tional History, Chicago, H., and the secretary of agriculture nomin- ated MT. Edward A. Prehle, of the bureau of biological survey, depart n.ent of agriculture. The three persons named were selected by the department of commerce and eIn- ployed by the bureau of fisheries as temporary scientific assistants, and were instructed to proceed to the PribIlof Islands, there to ascer- tain the facts and to Bubmtt them to the department for transmission to congress. Full details are found ill the attached report.
 "As Great Britain, through the Dominion of Canada, and Japan are financially interested in the Am ertcan seal berd under the terms of the treaty abolishing pelagic seal ing, these countries also of their own motion arranged to send rep reasutatiYss to tho Pribilof Islands ia 1914, and two exports from Can ada and one from Japan visited the islands while our own inquiry was progressing. Tho facts concerning this matter appear h full in the report.
 The report Is accompanied by three large traced maps of the Pri- bilot Islands, of which blue prints have been taken for the records of the department, and by 21 smaller maps illustrating the report in de- tail.
 "The purpose of tho edpstment has been to provide congress with an unbiased statement Of the aotu< al facts to assist 1t in the prepsrN- ton of such further legislation, if any, As it may deem wise to en- act. It Is my earnest hope that this has been accomplished" --,
 The report referred to has been ordered printed as a state docu- ment. Copies can be obtained from the superintendent of documents at . nominal price.

THE PARA|SO
 OFF fOR SOUTH

After unloading quantity of freight here and a lot of ties and lumber for the W. P. & Y. R., the Paraiso, which came in at II a. m. yesterday, sailed at 10:S0 last night for Ft. ". H. Seward, Treadwell, Juneau and Sheep Creek, where she has, at the latter three places, about S3O tons of cargo to put off. From there the vessel will sail to Fun ter Bay and Hawks Inlet canneries.
 The Paraiso is in command Of Captain Frank Landstrom, former ly on the bridge of the freighter Meteor, but who left that vessel at Ketchikan and took his present po- sition.
 Although the Paraiso has passen- ger acco.nodations for a limited lSumber. and several people in skag- Way are anxious to get away, she was unable 10 accommodate them for the reason that she is carrying on this voyage a large shipment of ex- plosive and combustibles. On her next trip north, however, she will bring along cannery crews for two different points in Alaska.

THE REPORT
 WAS NOT TRUE

The report which reached here q few days ago in regard to Capt. Sid Burlington having lost one of his legs by amputation in a Seattle hospital, after he had been badly injured in an automobile accident, was entirely without foundation, according to MT H McWhorter, who came in fast night from Whitehorse.
 Upon the news of the accident reaching Whitehorse,. Captain P. Martin, of that place, telegraphed directly to Captain Burlington at Seattle, asking if it was true, and received an answer from that gentle man expressing much surprise that such a rumor should be in circula- ton in the north.
 The many friends of Captain Bar rington, both in Skagway and the ir terior, will be exceedingly pleased 70 hear that he is still in the en- joyment cf the buoyant health and the bodily vigor for which. he is justly famed in athletic circles i'll the north.

Washington, D. C., March 12-on February 17th. the secretary oi commerce transmitted to the speak CT of the house of representatives g report of the scientific assistants oi tue bureau of fisheries on the Fur Seals and Other Life of the Prtblloi Islands in 1914, sending with tt the following communication to the speaker:
 T transmit herewith for the in- formation of congress- 8 report of Wilfred H. Osgood, Edward A, Preble and George H. Parker, scien- titic assistants of the bureau Of fisheries, on the fur seals and oth- CT lie in the Pribilo: Islands iu 1914.
 When the present administration took charge it found in full force and vigor, the existing law pro viding for a closed season for the seal herd belonging to the United States on the Pribilot Islands. This law was approved August "A, 1912, effective immediately, and will expire by Its own limitation August 24, 1917.
 "Tbe department has felt that 1t had two duties in this important matter. The first was to enforce the law in letter and in spirit and this has been done. The second was to ascertain from unprejudlced and dispassionate sources the ef- fleets of the law, and to inform con gre.J about them as fully as pos sible. This is now done.
 Tn view Of the sharp contro- versy that has existed on the sub jeCt of the fur seal herd 1t was deemed necessary that the pre- sons selected by the bureau of fish cries as scientific assistants to study this problem should be per sons who were free from all pre- vious connection with the subject, but who were qualified by training and experience to determine and I resent the facts. It was reQutr- ed also that they should be several ly qualified to carry on as separate individuals the particular lines Of scientific study necessary to full understanding of the problem.
 Under these circumstances the president of the National Academy of Sciences, the secretary Of the Smithsonian institute, and the sec retary of agriculture were requested to make nominations of persons who might be temporarily employed for the purpose. The National Aca- demy of Sciences nominated Prof. George H. Parker, of Harvard uni versity, Cambridge, Mass; the secretary of the Smithsonian insti- tuition, nominated MT. Wilfred H.

The lTcWhorter silver-lead pro- perty on Galena creek. in the Mayo mining district, Yukon territory, If the indications shown by the pres ent m,unt of development work arc to be coiied upon, gives promise of becoming Une of the big producing mines ot the north.
 H. McWhorter, the owner Of the property, came out from the inter- for last night and is stopping at the Golden North hotel. He is accom- panied by c. s. Holly. and they are both on their way down the coast, where Mir. McWhcrter has about q months work to do on other miuins properties which he owns, after which is done he will continue or to California, and take in the San Francis:o exposition before return ing north.
 Mir. McWhorter, in short talk with the Daily Alaskan representa- tive this morning, said:
 There is not much information to give out for publication that the papers have not already had. It Is my intention to ship next sum- mer, when navigation opens, to q shelter, not yet decided upon, on the outside, about 1900 tons of selected, high-grade ore for reduc- tion, from which I anticipate good returns am now shipping the ore from the mine to Stewart river landing, and already have 1000 tons there ready to put aboard the boat. The rest of the shipment will be delivered before tho ice on the river brcabs up. ..s, From the landing on stewart river, at the mouth of Mayo creek, the ore will be taken to the mouth of the Stewart river by the Side streams Navigation Co.,, of which Capt. sid. Harrington is the mana ger, and there transferred to yes- sels of the w. P. & Y. R., plying between Dawson and Whitehorse, brought up to the latter place and from there on to the outside.
 "The mine is located about 160 miles up the Stewart river Galena creek being a tributary of the Me Questin river, which in turn empties into Stewart river, tributary of the Yukon. Our shipments of ore from the mine to the Stewart river land ing will be made, however, over a low divide into Mayo creek, and that stream followed down to Its confluence with the Stewart.
 "The winter in the interior" said Mir. McWhorter, "has been ideal, with a very light snowfall; in fact, we are appreheEsive there will net be enough to allow us to make our full shipment of ore from the mine to the boat landing.
