SELDOVIA, May II. -- There are wrecks and rumOrs of wrecks, but it is seldom that men survive such con- ditiOns as the two survivors of the launch Success have recently reported here.
 The launch Success left Seward on the Twcnty-third of February witF the following men aboard: Tom Campbell, John Larson, Chas. Hansen and E. H. L. Mitchell. They were en- route to the new strike at Cold Bay The launch was owned by Chas. Han sen and the trip wes Outftted by Messrs. Mitchell and Campbell. After leaving Seward rough weather was encountered and several delays were made necessary by the leaking of the boat about the stuffing box. How ever, the ill-fated prospecting party finally arrived at the Barren Islands on March eighth. They found anchor age on the east sioe of Ushagat island, the largest island of the group. This anchorage was found to be very poor, and it was necessary to keep the engine going night and day, as the anchors could not hold the boat against the strong wind that blew continually. On March twelfth they pulled anchor and went to the east side of Umitilla island. Anchors would not hold at this place and SC they crossed to West Umitilla where the fate of two of the party was fin ally sealed, After being at this an

MINERAL OUTPUT
 OF ALASKA NOW
 OVER $SOO,OOO,OOO

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Alaska's mineral production in 1915 was more than four times the sum of the pur- chase price of the Territory, in dol lars and cents. It was the largest mineral production Alaska ever had. Only a little more than half was gold,
 At the close of the year estimates were given out as to the probable value of the years production. Com plete figures are now at hand, and the statistics have been presented by Dr. Alfred H. Brooks, of the geological survey, in charge of Alaskan minera! work.
 The years production brings the total value of Alaska's mineral out gut since 1880, when mining began, up to $8OO,953,751, the gold product alone to the close of 1915 amounting to s26O,S58,948. Alaska cost, when purchased in 1867, just S7IOO,OOO In other words, more than fOrty-two times the purchase price has been taken from the soil of the territory in mineral.
 That through most of its history Alaska has been a poor mans mining country is indicated by the fact that of the s26O,S58,943 in gold taken out since 1880, $1S2,192,992 came from placers. And this in the face of the fact that lode mining began as early as 1882 in the Treadwell.
 Last years mineral output reached the record figures of $82,S54,229 which is $13,7SS,563 more than tho output in 1914, and far more than tho value in any previous year during the thirty-six years that mining has beer carried on in the Territory.
 Gold values for the year were $16, 7O2,144; copper, $15,1a9,129, and sil yer, s549,898. Tin, lead, antimOny marble, gypsum, and a small amour of petroleum and coal make up tn rest.-(Ashmun Brown in SeattI Post t-Inteligencer.)

% e {" % q * " q * * @ 2 !: HAASCH NINE * * BEATS CAMPBELL *

The team of Heine Haasch beat the
 Campbell outfit yesterday by Q to 8. The most remarkable part of the per formance was the umpiring of Matt Button who semed to please everyone but the players, and a pleasant item of the program was the appearance once again of Glenn Darlington. Glenn says he is here to pitch for Seward against any old corners on July Fourth. During the game yes terday Frank Eanis and Tom Finne- gan made three base hits. Home Run Reed was conspicuous by his presence on the grand stand but it was very pleasantly reminiscent of last year to see Joe Campbell, Darlington, Heine, Phil Hickey and the others on the dia- mond together. If that bunch can't wipe the floor with Anchorage any old place and any old time here goes two bits. Lucas and Holman were the Campbell batteries and Finnegan and Darlington were for the defensive and offensive of the opposition. The weather promised some better times coming.

EFFORT TO SHOW THEMSELVES
NOT IN CONTEMPT
Punishment May be $1,000 Individual
Fines. And Jail Sentence Until
Order is Obeyed

County Commissioners Woody and
Lyon left this evening for Boise where
| they are ordered to appear before the
supreme court Monday morning and
show cause why they should not be
punished for contempt, for having dis
regarded the order of the court with
regard to the levying of road taxes.
Frank l.. Moore was subpoenaed as
a witness, and Homer Estes. county
auditor. accompanied the commission
ers A. L. Morgan and E. c. Boom
will appear in support of the affidavit
filed by Mr. Boom, alleging contempt,
and Orland and Lee will represent the
commissioners.
A. B. McIntire was not present at
the meeting at which the levies were
made, and did not go to Boise.
The affidavit of Mr.. Boom declares
that if a sufficient general levy had
been made in compliance with the or
der of the court, little or no special
levy would have been required-none
at all for general road purposes. In
that case the total road tax in most
districts would be from one to one and
a half mills less than the amounts fix
ed by the commissioners.
