Dr. H, c. DeVighne said today that death was not caused by drowning as an autopsy had shown no water in eith- CT the lungs or stomach. The body of the girl, who was a Haines Indianr was discovered yes terday afternoon about o'clock by Harry Douglas. At that time it was at the edge of the tide which was at the low mark for the day.

CAPT. LANGLEY GOING SOUTH; REPORTS GOOD
 SEASON ON KUSKOKWM

Capt. w. Langley. mead of the Alaska Rivers Navigation Company operating three steamers on the Kuskokwim, the Tana, the Quick step and the famous Ma Velle Young, one of the most noted river boats in Alaska, is aboard the steam CT Victoria en route to California to spend the winter. He is accom- panied by Mrs. Langley and his brother, J. Fl. Langley.
 The past season was good Capt. Langley said, although water navi- gation was disagreeable because of the heavy rainfall and disagreeable weather which prevailed during the entire summer.
 Early in the season the steamer Tana suffered broken tail shaft. The boat was laid up a short time for repairs and was then used for the balance of the season.
 The last big job undertaken by the company before closing opera tions for the season was transport ing a dredge for the Innoko Dredg- ina Company from the Ruby dis trict to Gaines Creek. The dredge was owned originally by the Gug- genheim interests. It was brought south on the motorship Ruby by way of St. Michael and up the river.
 The Iditarod district produced more gold than any other district in Alaska during the past season. Capt. Langley said.
 Capt. Langley, his wife and brother, expect to return north some time in April
