BUNKERS FILLED WITH ORE FUR
 SHIPMENT

F. D. Reiter, manager of the Alaska Mines Corporation, reports that good progress is being made on the work of .reconstructing the wharf at F1dal~ go bay, which was destroyed by the big storm last week, and believes that he will still be able to make a ship ment of ore from the mine before the close of the present month.
 When the wharf and approach was wrecked by the storm it dropped the piledriver outfit into the bay at a point where the water was five faith oms or more deep The members of the crew, after the storm had sub sided, succeeded in getting lines on the machinery and soon had it on shore and in working order Two thirds of the approach, which will be about four hundred feet long, has been completed. The wharf will be forty by one hundred feet and work is being rushed to enable the shipment of ore to the shelter this month.
 MT. Reiter states that his company is now employing twenty-five men. and that the number will be increased as the development of the ore bodies is being continued while facilities are being provided for shipping the ore. The work of driving the tunnel of the fourth level is being pushed and it is now in a distance of three hundred feet. but it is expected that five hun dred feet more will require to be run before the big body of high grade chalcopyrite ore encountered between the third and second levels will be tapped
 The destruction of the wharf pre- vented the shipment of one thousand tons of ore on the last trip of the Ad- miral Farragut. and the terminal buildings, ore bunkers, shutes and tunnels. in fact every place where ore can be stored are filled to capacity.
 Some idea of the force of the storm which destroyed the wharf may be gained from the fact that the terminal building, with about fifteen tons of counterweights for the cables, was moved on it's concrete base for dis

AMATEUR SPORTS UNABLE
 ID AGREE

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10. - As the discussion concerning the status of an amateur goes on, it becomes more and more apparent that the east and the west are not likely to agree. That the east is meddling in the af- fairs of athletes with which it is not concerned is the stand taken in the west. As long as an athlete receives no compensation for participation in any branch of sport, the west con tends he is fulfilling all that reason ably can be expected and that it is not within the province of any athletic officials to dictate what concerns a mans private or business affairs.

ALASKA IN NEW INSPECTION
 DISTRICT

Representative Will F. Humphreys proposition to create an additional steamboat inspection district, with headquarters at Seattle, which will include the North Pacific Coast states and Alaska, seems likely to be adopt | ed by Congress. says the Seattle Times of January 24.
 ! The House committee on merchant marine and fisheries has reported a general bill increasing the number of inspection districts from ten to eleven.
 "The first steamboat inspection dis trict," the report says, 'is located at San Francisco. The supervising in- spectors at Los Angeles, San Fran cisco, Portland, Seattle. St Michael, and Juneau, Alaska, and Honolulu. Hawaii.
 "One supervising inspector cannot properly supervise a district as large as the first district The approximate coast line from the southern part of California to Nome, Alaska, is about 1 5000 miles, and to this should be ad ded approximately 500 miles of the Yukon river, or total of $500 miles. ] rbc diS4apca from, Con E,ronciuco to Honolulu Is approximately 2,000 miles. That immense district of great dis tances which had, in the last fiscal year. a total of 1106 steamers in spected with a tonnage of 1,09S,799 tons, is under one supervising inspec- tor. while on the Atlantic coast there are four supervising inspection dis tricts, the second. third, fifth and tenth.
 'It seems evident that one super vising inspector can not keep in close touch with the local inspectors and give the personal attention to the i'm mense district on the Pacific coast that is required to make the service efficient, particularly so when the in crease of shipping, present and pros pective, due to the opening of the Panama canal. is taken into consider ation.
 Inspector General Uhler informed the committee that if this bill- is en- acted the supervising inspector at San Francisco and Los Angeles, Califor- nia, and Honolulu, Hawaii, and the new supervising inspector would be stationed at Seattle, and would be in charge of the local inspectors at Se-- attle, Wash. Portland, Ore; and Jul ueau and St. Michael. Alaska.
 "The salary of the additional super, vising inspector provided for in the bill will be $3,00O per annum. as fixed by law.
 "The committee was informed by Inspector General Uhler that the cost to the government caused by the ere ation of an additional inspection dis trict on the Pacific coast would not exceed $4.500 per annum, which sum would include the supervising inspec- tors salary, travelling expenses and incidentals."

tance of several inches. This, how ever, does not worry the management, as it had been planned to move the building had not the storm done the
 work. Miners from there say that the storm was the worst they have ever seen in Alaska or anywhere else, and that mountainous waves swept over the wharf before it collapsed
