SCHOONER EDISON
 IS A TOTAL LOSS
It Is Believed the Entire Crew Lost
 Their Lives.

PETERSBURG, Jan. 19.-It is known that the wrecked fishing schooner, found at Cape Decision by the crew of the schooner Alameda, is the schooner Edison. As reported in yesterdays issue of this paper the crews of the Alameda found the License Board belonging to the ill fated boat on which was inscribed, "W 2439." It was believed yesterday at the local Customhouse that the number belonged to the schooner Edison and this morning that belief was verified in a ca5legrmn from Tacoma, Washington.
 The Edison cleared from the local Customhouse, December 3, and on December IA she was seen going to the fishing banks by the schooner Eagle. It has not been reported that the ill fated boat was seen after that, and as reported yesterday, the snow was too deep on the beach at Cape Decision for the finding of the wreck age to make a thorough investigation. It is believed, however, that owing to the broken up condition of the two dories which she carried, that the en- tire crew lost their lives. She carried crew of five men and if December IA was the last seen of her it was very likely that they lost their lives at the time of the accident.-Progres- sive-Miner.

SEWARD IS BECOMING
 SAMPLES SUPPLY POINT
Seattle People Now Turn to the North
 For Their Fire Water.

Alaska has had a new source of revenue supplied to it as a result of the prohibition law in the state of Washington and this source is the selling of whiskey to the dry resi- dents of the Spirit City. The prohi- bition law allows people to buy two quarts of whiskey at a time if the purchaser first gets a permit from the authorities and Alaska has been found to be the handiest place to Puget Sound in which to make the purchase. As matter of fact, when Joe Morris of the Palace came back the other day from Seattle he brought several orders from some of the suffer ing souls down there and also exhibits some of the permits for purchasing which are necessary under the law. To give an idea of the manner in which prohibition is affecting the trade in Seattle it need only be said that when one of the best furnished and fitted saloons in the city sold all its furnishings and fittings some days ago by auction the whole thing brought only $15O while one buffalo head in the place brought S45O. At one time that head was regarded as only a minor item of the furniture.
