Sammy Insults trust press adver-
Using campaign to force the city
council into passing favorably on his
heat unit gas proposition was Off
cially buried as a rank failure yester-
day by Aid. Merriam.
Merriam confirmed suspicious
that Sammy has been trying to put
one over on the people of the city
in his proposals to install mantle
burners in place of the fiat fame
kind now in use and heat unit gas at
a small cut in price.
Merriam issued a hot statement
in reply to insults repeated claims
through the news columns of the pa

and unreasonable because it wouldn't
give his carefully prepared scheme
for a change in gas stand an 20. K"
Sammy announced he was going to
treat with the state public utilities
commission in the future.
If Sammy had been quiet, Merriam
would never have soaked his little
scheme as hard as he did yesterday.
But soon after the fias company's an
nual statement showed that the
years profits were smaller than they
had been in the past, insult romped
all over the front page of the trust
press with bitter denunciations of
the council which couldn't see his
heat unit plan as a reduction in the
price of gas.
This was too much for Merriam
and yesterday after Sammy had sub
sided, the following retOrt came from

Mining Notes

An unusual amount of mining ac- tivity is reported from the creeks of the Tolovona section, and number of winter dumps are being taken out.
 WhitehOrSe is rapidly becoming the center of a great copper mining in- duStry, the mines of that vicinity hav- ing become regular shippers of ore.
 Jacob Meiers, who owns tung- sten property on the head of Steel creek in the Fairbanks district, is ar ranging for the erection of mill on the property as soon as the weather conditions permit. The ledge has been cut for distance of six feet, and in some places the ore is nearly pure scheelite.
 The Ruby Silver and Silver Queen mine at Pavey, in the Lake Bennett district, has been closed down tenn porarily on account of the depletion of the funds set aside for develop ment. P. H. Ganty of Skagway, a large Stockholder in the company, says the company will be rcorganized with Suf'icent capital to put the mine on a shipping basis.
 A slight difficulty occurred recently between the miners and the manage ment of the Mother Lode mine near Mccarthy, with the result that a number of men quit work. A com promise was effected whereby the men received a raise of 50 cents per day, and all returned to work.
 W. R. Reinfeld left Anchorage re- gently for the Nelchina where he has been prospecting for the past three years. He has great confidence in the district and says the country has never been pOspected despite the big stampede three years ago.
 NJ. W. Sinclair interested in some valuable property on Willow creek recently procured a lease on eight claims on Willow creek from John Rice of Seward. Sinclair has let the contract to freight in his summers supply of provisions and equip ment from McDougal. He anticipates prosperous season for the Cache creek operators and says that there will be great activity in that district this season.

 The residence of Mrs. Margaret Brandt. on Garden island, was recent ly destroyed by fire. The Fairbanks fire department laid .OOO feet of hose but the fire had gained too great a hcadway.
 The city council at Cordova has de- cided to purchase a fire net for use of the department.
 The residence of (. F. Peterson at Anchorage, was destroyed by fire re- gently, entailiug a loss of about $500
 The Marshall camp is considerably excited as a result of a series of rob berries that have taken place recently. Al Hall, the tinSmith, was the latest victim. The robbers took $%5O. A peculiar feature of the affair is said to be the fact that the victims claim v know the perpetrators of the rob berries, but owning to the loss of time and money involved in a trip to Nome to prosecute the cases, no action has been taken.
 George Zeigler, for a long time con- nected with the Juneau water system, died recently at the Morningside Sanitarium.

SCHOONER HIT BEACH AFTER
 ANCHORS CAST
Harold Blekum Caught Off Lee Shore in Heavy
 Weather

KODIAK, Monday, March D. (Mail Correspondence.) - The w. J. Erskine Co.'S schooner, Harold Blek- um, is in trouble again. Kodiak peo- pie were surprised, startled in fact, about four o'clock yesterday when three of the schooner'S crew came in from Kalsin bay in a dory.
 With fair prospect of bon voyage to San Francisco the schooner had sailed five days before, having been lowed eastward out of St. Paul har- bor by the Hunter. And now three of the crew had come into St. Paul har- bor from the westward to say that they had encountered a terrific south east gale, lad fought the sea with all their power, lost both anchors and gone helpleSsly onto the rocks at l2.l5 a. m. outside of Eagle harbor on the east side of Kodiak island. All hands had got ashore and were camping on the beach while a detachment mushed across the portage, five hours, to Kal- sin bay where they procured a dory from the experiment station and came on for relief.
 The Hunter, Captain Magnuson, former captain of the Blekm on Frisco voyages, went at once to do all that could be done and bring Captain Kohlmister, his wife, and the crew back to Kodiak.
 The schooner had been in port d week discharging and repairing, hav- ing arrived from Seward February 20. It was in ship-shape and all were feel ing good that no serious disaster had come from former mishapS. The eX- tent of damage and loss is not known. when he entered the workings of the Alaska-Juneau mine in Silver Bow Basin too soon after letting off a shot of dynamite. He leaves a widow.

Plan Telephone TO
Coal Springs

The telephone meeting at
Meadow Saturday to discuss the
plan of building about thirty
miles Of line from Coal Springs
to Bison was attended by people
from all along the proposed line
Fred Jenneweln. president Of
the Bison Telephone Company
and Chas. S. Reed, secretary, at
tended to outline the plan under
which this company was organlz-
ed and to discuss ways and
means Of raising funds with
which to build and equip the
line. The promoters Of this eS-
tension have raised nearly half
enough to complete the line with
thirty telephones and they arc
confident that the balance Of the
cost can be arranged for IN a
short time. The estimated cost
was figured at S85 per mile and
they arc asking subscriptions for
stock in the company in amounts
equal to the cost Of one mile Of
construction, sixty dollars ct
which to be paid in cash and tho
balance in labor. The plan pro
posed at this meeting was TO
build directly east from Bison to
Meadow and on east four miles,
then turning south. With this
line it will be possible for the
people in the Chance neighbor
hood to connect at a point be-
tween Meadow and Bison, and

Fire Totally Destroys
Columbia Elevator

On Monday evening at 700 o.
clock a dust explosion in the
Columbia elevator in this city
caused a fire that totally destroy
ed the elevator and it's contents.
The loss is estimated at $4,000
Fay Potter who is manager of
the elevator was in the building
loading grain into the car at the
time of the explosion. He stated
to the Herald that he believed
that the explosion was caused by
the lighted lantern which he was
using to see his way about while
finishing up the work. Mr.. Pot
ter had just stepped out on the
platform of the elevator to look
into the car to see how the load
ing was progressing when a ter
rife explosion took place. The
noise could be heard all over the
city and pieces of the roof were
thrown for a distance of several
hundred feet. There were a
large number who were witness
es Of the explosion but before
they could turn in an alarm the
entire structure was ablaze.
The fire department made rec
ord time in getting to the scene
of the fire and devoted their ef-
forts to drenching the Farmers
elevator and the cold storage
building which adjolned the
columbia elevator For a time
lit seemed as though the entire
row Of buildings were doomed,
but the firemen put up a nara
flight and, in spite Of the intense
lheat. no other building was even
scorched.
1t is expected that the com
Ipany will commence operations
lin a short time on the construc-
ltion of a new building.

Star Theatre to Build
Large New Show House

M. B. Scribner, manager of the
Star Theatre announced to the
Herald this week, that the Star
Theatre Co. will soon commence
the erection of large new mod
ern theatre to replace the pres
ent picture show house on Main
street.
The plans of the building have
been selected and most beau
tlful theatre will be the result if
their plans are carried out. A
very artistic front will be built,
of type that is used in the high
er class theatres in the larger
cities. A large stage will also be
put in for the accommodation of
the road shows.
The interior of the theatre will
be the most modern that can y
had and no expense will be spar
ed in making the Star up to-date
in every respect. The seating
capacity Of the theatre will be
greatly increased and comfort,
able opera chairs will replace the
chairs now in the theatre.
Among the big attractions that
the Star has booked for the near
future is the great feature, Civ,
